Ionia Daily Sentinel, 11 Jul 1918

Harriet Amelia Sherman was born in Hearwick, Otsego county, N. Y., June 9, 
1845.  She was the daughter of Alanson and Laura Sherman, coming from a line of 
ancestry tracing back to the Mayflower.

Harriet Amelia was the eighth of a family of 11 children.  She was married to 
George Wood, October 23, 1862.  To this union were born two sons, William and 
Frederick, both of whom survive her.  The family came to Muir in December 
1869.  She was married to Dayton Douglass October 9, 1882.  During the 
pastorate of Rev. Henselman she united with the Church of Christ and until 
failing health prevented was active in all the work of the church.  Mrs. 
Douglass was a loyal member of the Order of the Eastern Star.  She was a great 
lover of little children and was in the habit of calling them in to visit with 
them and to give them flowers and fruit.

She departed this life after a lingering illness July 8, 1918, aged 73 years 5 
months and 20 days.

The funeral will be held Thursday afternoon at her late residence, Rev. J. A. 
Cargill officiating and interment was made in Oakwood cemetery at Muir.
