After much patient suffering she passed away from this life March 10, 1919, being the last of her immediate family. Two nieces and a nephew in Michigan, also a niece and her mother in Washington survive her. The funeral was held from her late home in Orleans, March 13. Rev. R. V. Birdsall officiating.
