The Ionia Sentinel-Standard, Thursday, November 7, 1929
Last rites for Mrs. Henry Barrone, pioneer resident of Hubbardston who died at 
her home there Monday evening following a year’s failing health that became 
aggravated a month ago, will be held from the Methodist Episcopal church at 
Hubbardston Friday afternoon at 2 o’clock, with interment to be made in 
Eastside cemetery.

Mrs. Barrone, who before her marriage was Miss Sarah Avery, was born in Rose, 
Oakland county, in 1845.  Five years later her parents moved to a farm in 
Gratiot county, north of what is now the site of Hubbardston.  At that time 
the nearest village was Lyons, where the family did most of its trading.  

In 1869 she moved to Hubbardston and the same year was united in marriage to 
Mr. Barrone, to which union six children were born.  Four survive, including 
Vernon of California; Charles, Bradley, Ill.; Arthur, Detroit; and Elmer, at 
home.  Mr. Brrrone, who is one of Hubbardston’s three remaining veterans of 
the Civil war also survives, together with five grandchildren and one great-
grandchild.

For some time after the marriage the couple resided on what is known as the 
George Runyan farm, north of the village, later trading the farm for the 
Runyan hotel in Hubbardston, which they operated for years as the Avery 
house.  The hostelry did a flourishing business during the logging days but 
closed soon after this industry moved on to other sections when that part of 
the state became cleared.

October 24 Mr. and Mrs. Barrone quietly passed the sixtieth milestone of their 
wedded life, Mrs. Barrone being confined to her bed.  For years Mrs. Barrone 
had been an active member of the Hubbardston Women’s Relief corps.
