Gates, daughter of N. B. and Catherine M. Gates, was born in Jefferson county, N. Y., Oct. 26, 1835. She married Washington Carr, Feb. 28, 1856 and in 1860 they removed to Keene township in this state where they lived for 12 years. They then moved to Lowell which has since been their home. For the past two years Mrs. Carr has been in ill health, although not until the last six months, did her condition become so serious as to cause alarm. During that time in spite of all that medical skill and tender hands could do for her, she continued to fail, until on Friday morning last her suffering ceased and the spirit took its flight to “that bourne from whence no traveler returns.” An aged mother, the husband, daughter Kittie and son Eugene survive to mourn the loss of their best earthly friend. Funeral services were held at the residence at 10 o’clock Monday, conducted by Rev. H. Marshall , and the remains were interred in the Marble cemetery in Keene Additional Comments: Marble Cemetery - Keene Township - Lot 20 File at: http://files.usgwarchives.net/mi/ionia/obits/c/carr3289nob.txt This file has been created by a form at http://www.genrecords.net/mifiles/ File size: 1.6 Kb
