The Lowell Ledger, Thursday, August 24, 1905


Mrs. J. C. English died August eleventh at her home in Vancouver, Wash., after 
a long illness, and was buried Sunday, August 13, in that city.

Her maiden name was Persis A. Stannard.  She was born March 8, 1833, at 
Hardwick, Vt., and in 1837 came with her parents to Michigan.  She lived at 
her father’s home in South Boston until 1857, when she was married to J. C. 
English.  

Until a few years ago Mr. and Mrs. English made their home on a farm in South 
Boston.  They moved to this village, and afterward went to Colorado Springs, 
Col, where they spent six months.  When they returned from the West Mr. 
English built a home west of Flat river; and they lived there until the Fall 
of 1902.  At that time they moved to Portland, Ore., hoping that the change of 
climate would benefit the health of both, taking with them the wife and 
children of their son, Carl, who followed them the next spring.  After a few 
months the two families moved to Vancouver, where they lived until the present 
time.  

Mrs. English, who had been in poor health for some time previous to their 
going west, grew weaker instead of better, and was quite ill for a long time 
before her death.  Besides her husband, and her son, Carl, and his family, one 
brother, A. S. Stannard of this village survives her.
