Unknown Publication, February, 1904

An Old Resident of Portland Died at Sturgis, February 18th.

Maria, widow of the late Wm. Disbrow, died at the home of her nephew at 
Sturgis on the 18th of February, but news of the death was not received here 
until last Wednesday, when O. N. Jenkins, who was a neighbor of the Disbrows 
when they lived in Portland, received a letter from the gentleman with whom 
Mrs. Disbrow made her home.  The letter referred to contained the following 
facts regarding deceased:

Maria Scribner was born in the state of New York Feb. 15th, 1824, and came 
with her parents to Ann Arbor in 1844.  Four years later she was married to 
Wm. Disbrow and settled with him soon after in Portland, Mich., where they 
resided until the death of Mr. Disbrow, which occurred in April, 1894.  They 
united with the M. E. church the first year of their married life and were 
useful and esteemed members of the same.  After the death of Mr. Disbrow Mrs. 
Disbrow came to Sturgis to reside with a nephew, Byron J. Adams, where she 
lived from May, 1895 until her death, which occurred February 18, 1904, she 
having been 80 years and 3 days old.  Funeral services were held at her late 
residence conducted by Rev. L. N. Pattison, pastor of the M. E. Church of 
Sturgis, and burial made in Oak Lawn cemetery.
