The Lowell Ledger, Thursday, January 3, 1907


Mrs. Fannie C. Fletcher, who was for many years a resident of South Boston, 
died Tuesday, January 1, 1907, at the age of eighty-five, at the home of her 
son, Kimball Fletcher, just south of the village.  Funeral services were held 
this afternoon at one-thirty at the house, Rev. Russell H. Bready officiating, 
and interment will take place in South Boston.

Fannie C. Platt was born at Ruggles, Medina county, Ohio, Mar. 18, 1821.  With 
some friends she came to Michigan in 1845, locating at Hastings, and during 
the following year was married to Louis Fletcher of that place.  They at once 
took up their abode in South Boston, living on a farm in that township until 
the death of Mr. Fletcher in June 1882.  Five children blessed their union: 
Hiram Fletcher of Ada, Jude Fletcher of South Boston, Kimball Fletcher Lowell, 
Betsey Fletcher who died in childhood and Adelbert, who mysteriously 
disappeared when sixteen years old, walking to the village of Lowell from 
South Boston one morning intending to return to his home the same day, and 
never again being seen nor heard from by his family.

“Grandma” as she was called by her many friends, has during the twenty-four 
years since her husband’s death, made her home with her three surviving sons, 
dividing her time among them.  She was a member of the Methodist church in 
South Boston.
