Pioneer Orange Woman Is Dead.

Mrs. William Adgate, Three Years a Helpless Invalid, Succumbs Monday.

Mrs. William Adgate, a pioneer resident of Orange township and a woman who 
command the highest respect and esteem of everyone who knew her, passed away 
Monday at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Nellie Benedict, two miles south of 
Ionia, in the Tuttle cemetery neighborhood.  Funeral services were held 
Wednesday afternoon, and burial was made in the Balcom cemetery in Berlin 
township.

Mrs. Adgate was born in the state of Ohio 82 years ago, and for the past three 
years she had been a practically helpless invalid.  She came to Ionia county 
when she was about ten years of age, spent a part of her early life in Berlin 
township and settled in Orange upon her marriage to Mr. Adgate in 1852.  She 
had been a continuous resident of that locality since, and in that time had 
formed an extended acquaintance.

Frank Adgate, a well known citizen of Portland, is a son of Mrs. Adgate, and 
other children surviving her are Mrs. Phoebe Scheurer, of Orange township, John 
W. Adgate, of Ionia, and Mrs. Frank Taft, Lewis Adgate and Mrs. Nellie 
Benedict, all of Ionia township.
