OBITUARY
Fannie Eliza Coonrad was born in Montgomery county, New York, August 11th, 1831. 
She was married to Geo. W. Cain and came to Michigan in 1855. To this union 
three children were born, Irving and B.F. Cain of Carlton and Mary C.Carpenter 
deceased. 

She was taken sick and died at the home of her granddaughter, Ora Maynard in 
Hastings June 18, 1912. She leaves two sons and a large circle of friends to 
mourn her loss. She was a kind and loving mother a true and faithful friend.

The funeral service was held last Thursday afternoon at the Thornapple Brethren 
church, conducted  by Elder Mourer and assisted by Elder Winey.

Oh how complicated is Life,
  A link that binds us onto another;
And now as one of those links had been severed by death:
  Let us weld the chain anew with our unstained love and devotion
                                         toward each other.
Always remembering we are heirs of human frailty;
  And frail children of dust.
And as the sheaves are gathered so we will be gathered in 
                                that higher and better world.
  Think to die is but to fall asleep
And awake refreshed where the new morning light breaks.

Weary toiler, thy work is done,
  Beautiful soul into Glory gone.
BeautifulLife with its crown now won:
  God giveth rest.
Rest, from all sorrows, watching and fears;
  Best from all possible sighing and tears;
Rest, through God's wonderful ears.
 At home with the blest.
It was so sudden, our white lips said,
  How we shall miss her, the precious dead;
Who'll take the place of the mother that's gone?
  But, God knoweth best;
We know he watches the sparrows fall,
  Hears the sad cry of the grieved heart that calls:
Friends and children, he loveth them all.
  We can trust for the rest.
