Lake Odessa Wave
   Ada L. Downs was born in Castleton, Barry Co., September 5, 1876.  She moved with
her parents to Gratiot Co. when eight years of age, residing there until she reached her 
sixteenth year, when she came to Lake Odessa to live with her uncle.  She was married to 
A. Belding, on Christmas day, 1892,  To them were born two children, a girl, now five 
years of age, and an infant son three weeks old.  Her death occurred April 5, 
from causes explained by the postmortam. She was a loving and wife and kind mother.
   Because of the peculiar symptoms which preceded the death of Mrs. A. Belding, for
several months, and persisted until her death.  It was deemed best to hold an autopsy, 
which was accordingly done on April 4th. Drs. Hart, Day and Horner being present.  
An examination of the heart revealed, besides some valvular disease, the presence of an 
organized clot, in the left ventricale of the heart, which from its physical 
appearance has been forming for two or three months previous to this illness.  The
physical exertions through which she passed at confinement brought about a loosening of 
the clot, which eventually floating upward into the aortic orifice blocked the general 
circulation and brought about death.
