Belding Banner, 17 May 1900

The news of the death of Mrs. Lee Cusser was a great shock to our citizens and 
was received with deepest regret and sorrow.  It is sad, very sad.  The 
idolized wife of a husband to whom she had been married only five years the 5th 
of next month, a sweet baby girl two years old, a pleasant home, she had all 
which would seem to make life sweet and desirable, except one thing, health.  
She had never been strong or robust and the last few years in particular had 
suffered much.  She had been advised that her only hopes of attaining good 
health lay in having an operation performed.  She decided upon having it 
performed, and it was done at St. Mary’s hospital, in Grand Rapids, last 
Saturday.  As far as the operation was concerned it was entirely successful but 
the chloroform which it was necessary to administer caused violent sickness of 
the stomach; so that no nourishment could be retained.  This lasted until 
Monday evening when there appeared to be a change for the better and strong 
hopes and expectations of recovery were entertained.  But Tuesday morning the 
heart action became attacked and the system was too weak to rally, and she 
passed quietly away at about ten o’clock as easily and peacefully as a tired 
child goes to sleep.

Dot M. Cusser, was the adopted daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ed. Wright, of 
Greenville, was born there 26 years ago the 7th of last month.  She came to 
Belding a little more than seven years ago and for two years was assistant 
bookkeeper in the office of the Hall Bros. M’f’g. Co., as it was then.  At the 
end of that time she left to assume the higher and nobler duty of wife to W. 
Lee Cusser, the present assistant cashier of the Peoples Savings Bank.  Their 
married life has been a happy one only marred by the one shadow, her health.  
The bereaved husband will have one consolation in his sorrow, he done what he 
could, and has no vain regrets to mourn over now.  The number of their friends 
are only limited to the number that knew them, and all deeply sympathize with 
him, in this great loss.

The funeral services will be held from the home on Bridge street, this 
afternoon at 2:30, Rev. Staley conducting them, and the burial in the River 
Ridge cemetery.

Beautiful flowers in great profusion have been sent by friends, until one room 
is nearly filled.  Their sweet perfume being emblematic of the sweetness of her 
character and life, fragile, delicate, yet giving pleasure and happiness to all 
about her.
