The Lake Odessa Wave-Times, March 30, 1923

For twenty-three years Mrs. Ann Cheney has lived in Lake Odessa, where she has 
many friends.  She is the mother of Chas. Cheney and Mrs. John Demaray of this 
village.

Although Mrs. Cheney has not been able to be out for months she bore her 
affliction very patiently and was fully prepared to go, having made all 
preparations.

Ann Alida Hanna was born in Rochester, N.Y., April 25th, 1848.  She was 
married to Oliver Cheney February 22, 1868.  The husband died August 26, 
1910.  They lived together 42 years, six months and four days.

Mrs. Cheney died at her home Wednesday morning, March 28, aged 74 years, 10 
months and 28 days, after several years of illness.

Four children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Cheney, Charles who has cared for his 
mother for the past sixteen moths, Mrs. Mina Demaray of Lake Odessa, Allie 
Cheney of Carlton and Mrs. Dora Murdock, who died February 4, 1908.  Besides 
the children she leaves nine grandchildren, nine great-grandchildren and a 
host of friends.

Mr. and Mrs. Cheney came to Michigan shortly after their marriage and settled 
in Irving, from there to Carlton and then to Lake Odessa March 15th, 1900, 
after a brief residence at Riverside, Neb.

Mrs. Cheney was greatly respected and loved by her neighbors and family.  She 
was of a careful, thoughtful disposition and loved to read besides being an 
exceptionally neat person with her household.  She attended the Methodist 
church as long as she was able to go to church.  

She has had the sympathy of everyone who knew her during the years of her 
affliction and will be greatly missed.  The funeral will be held from the home 
on Fifth Ave. Friday afternoon at 1:30.
