The Ionia Daily Sentinel, Thursday, May 3, 1906
Mrs. Sarah J. Eitelbuss, one of the pioneer residents of Bushnell, was 
tenderly laid to rest in the Palo cemetery Wednesday afternoon.  She was the 
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Olmstead and was born at Salem, Michigan April 29, 
1845.  Here she lived but a short time, moving with her parents in early 
infancy to Bushnell, where she has ever since made her home.  July 29, 1866 
she was married to George Eitelbuss, who has preceded her to their future 
home.  They were the parents of five children, Jennie, now deceased, Julia, 
now Mrs. Thomas Haysmer of Sheridan, Frank, also deceased, Norman, of 
Bushnell, and Jessie, now Mrs. Harry Lee of Ionia.

At the early age of 13 years Mrs. Eitelbuss decided for Christ, uniting with 
the M.E. church of which she was always a faithful member.  In the W.R.C. of 
Palo, she was also an earnest worker, being one of it organizers and charter 
members.  She died in peace at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Harry Lee, 
Monday, April 15, 1906, at the age of 60 years, 11 months, 17 days.

Beside the children mentioned, she also leaves a sister, Mrs. Ida Parker of 
Chadwick, brother, Edgar Olmstead, of Orleans, and a large circle of relatives 
and friends.
