Lyons Herald, 20 Nov 1919

Henrietta Squire was born in Banbridge, Ohio, March 16, 1829, and died at 
Lyons, Mich., Nov. 9, 1919, aged 90 years, 7 months and 24 days.

In early life she attended the seminary at Banbridge, Ohio, kept by Rev. Holmes 
of the Disciple church.  Attending this school at this time was James A. 
Garfield, who afterwards attained so great religious and political fame; and 
also the young lady, whom her friends familiarly called Lucretia, who 
afterwards became Mr. Garfield’s wife.  Miss Squire was warm friends with these 
young people.  She afterward taught for some years in the public schools of 
Ohio.

In 1850 she was united in marriage to Cyrus Bartlett.  Three children were born 
to them, two sons and one daughter, all of whom survive her.  In 1895 her 
husband died and in 1896 Mrs. Bartlett came to Lyons, Mich., to reside with her 
sister, Mrs. J.S. Preston, and made her home with her until death.  Soon after 
coming to Lyons, Mrs. Bartlett united with the Seventh-Day Adventist church of 
this place and remained a faithful member until her death.

Seven years ago Mrs. Bartlett became an invalid and five years ago she suffered 
a stroke of paralysis, affecting the head.  Since that time she has been a 
great sufferer and before her death became helpless.

Funeral services were conducted at the home of her sister, Mrs. J.S. Preston, 
Wednesday, Nov. 12, by Elder L.T. Nicola of Grand Rapids.
