Belding News, 12 Sep 1917

Life’s Sun Sets For Pioneer.

Lived On Same Farm 40 Years.

Mrs. Maria Condon, aged eighty-four years, died Saturday evening, September 8, 
1917 from heart trouble after a half hours illness, at the home of her daughter 
and son-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. George Keller in Greenville.  The remains were 
conveyed that same evening to her late home near Smyrna, where funeral services 
conducted by Rev. A.J. Blair, were held Tuesday afternoon at 2:00 o’clock.  The 
interment was made in Smyrna cemetery by the side of her husband, Samuel D. 
Condon, who passed away eight years ago last February 8.

Mrs. Condon was born near Brantford, Ont., Canada, November 22, 1833.  There he 
days were passed until some years after her marriage to Mr. Condon.  They came 
to Michigan about fifty-eight years ago and settled in Vergennes township, 
where they resided until about forty years ago, when they moved to the farm in 
Otisco township where the remainder of their days were passed.  There their 
family of children grew to man and womanhood and went from the parental roof to 
homes of their own.  After the death of Mr. Condon, her son, Charles and family 
came to look after the old farm home and relieve the mother of its care and she 
passed the rest of her days a loved and honored guest in the homes of her 
children.  Of a genial, happy disposition she had many friends who loved her 
dearly.  Just to know her was to love her.  The surviving children are: Mrs. 
S.D. Swain, whose home is in California, Mrs. Jennie Tillotson and Edgar 
Condon, of Otisco, Mrs. Bertha Buck, of Montana, Mrs. Geo. Keller of 
Greenville, Elgin W. Condon of Smyrna and Charles Condon, who resides at the 
old homestead.  Mrs. Condon was an honored member of the Smyrna Ladies of the 
Maccabees.
