The Belding Banner, Thursday, November 23, 1911


Again we are called upon to note the passing of another of the early pioneers 
whose life has long been connected with the growth and development of this 
section of Michigan.  Last Monday night the Grim Reaper visited the home of 
Mr. and Mrs. Harry Connell and took there from Mrs. Emily Divine, Mrs. 
Connell’s mother, who had reached the ripe old age of seventy-seven years.

Mrs. Divine was for many years a resident of Oakfield township, and a pioneer 
of that section.  For many years past, however, she had made her home with her 
daughter, Mrs. Connell, visiting occasionally with other members of her 
family.  Deceased was the mother of eight children, all of whom survive her: 
Frank Divine of Cedar Springs, Charlie of Martin, George of Caledonia, Will of 
Nanton, Alberta, Canada; Mrs. Jacob Smith of Mt. Pleasant, Mrs. Ray Powell of 
Chadwick, Mrs. Chester Town of Entrican and Mrs. Connell of this city.  Of a 
natural retiring disposition she loved the quiet life of home far better than 
the allurements of society.

The funeral was held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Connell, this afternoon at 
one o’clock and the remains were taken to the White Swan cemetery in Oakfield 
for interment.
