Lake Odessa Wave, 16 Feb 1938

Hattie Custer, daughter of Washington and Altha Chase, was born in New York 
state, April 10, 1859 and passed away at her home at Pinhook, Mich., aged 79 
years, nine months and 26 days.

She came from New York state to Michigan at the age of seven years with her 
parents.  She was the last survivor of a family of five sisters and two 
brothers.

She was united in marriage in 1881 to E.L. Custer, who departed this life July 
1, 1904.  To this union were born four children, three of whom Altha C. Gurner 
L. and Fay V. preceded their mother in death.  Ivah G., who has been with her 
mother and cared for her since the beginning of her illness in September 1934.  
Mrs. Custer has been more or less confined to her home because of poor health 
for more than four years.

She leaves to mourn her departure her daughter Ivah, one grandson, nieces, 
nephews, relatives and many friends and neighbors.

She was a member of the Progressive Brethren church and attended services there 
in earlier life when she had the opportunity.  She was well known in this 
community having lived here many years.  Her presence will be greatly missed by 
all who knew her.

She lived a long and useful life and is now gone to her reward.

Services were held Tuesday afternoon at the Thornapple Brethren church 
conducted by Rev. Messner and Rev. Roy McRoberts.
