The Lowell Ledger, Thursday, April 16, 1903


Mrs. Ellen Fletcher was born in New London, Ohio, Feb. 29, 1844, and died at 
her home in Lowell, Mich., April 11, 1903 aged 50 years, 1 month and 12 days.  
Her maiden name was Morse, and in early childhood she came with her parents to 
Monroe county, Mich., and it was there that she sought and found her Savior, 
and joined the Methodist Episcopal church of that place.  With her father she 
moved to South Boston, Ionia county, Mich., in 1864 and joined the South 
Boston M. E. church by letter.

She was married to Asa Fletcher August 26, 1866.  To them five children were 
born, three daughters and two sons.  The two eldest daughters preceded her to 
the better land.  The husband, the daughter, Mrs. Bertha Cowles, the two sons, 
Guy and Axel, one brother, Edwin Morse, one sister, Mrs. Mary Vanhouten, three 
grandchildren and a host of friends remain to mourn their loss.  

She was kind, loving, and indulgent as a wife, as a mother, a sister, a 
friend, and therefore held a place in many hearts.

The funeral services were held in the home on Monday, April 13 at 1 p.m., and 
were largely attended by the friends and relatives from Lowell, South Boston, 
Belding and Grand Rapids.  Rev. Chas. Nease officiated and the body was laid 
to rest in the South Boston cemetery.
