The Lowell Ledger, Thursday, December 25, 1902


Died, at her in Keene, Ionia county, Dec. 18, 1902 after an illness of over 
two years, Mariette, wife of William Fries.  Brief services were conducted at 
the home Friday afternoon by Rev. Chas. Nease, pastor of the Lowell Methodist 
church, and at Greenville Saturday by Rev. Kendrick, pastor of the Methodist 
church at that place.  Interment at Coral.

Mariette Smith was born in Oneida county, N.Y., May 27, 1840.  She married 
William Fries of Wayne county, N. Y., Feb. 1, 1859.  To them were born seven 
children, four daughters and three sons, of whom there survive with the 
bereaved husband and father: Mrs. H. E. Wright, Mr. H. M. Dolph and Robert S. 
Fries, of Greenville, Mrs. Jenie E. Lewis, of Trufant, Mich., and Ruben R. of 
Keene. 

They came to Michigan in 1862, settling at Mt. Clemens, removing to Maple 
Valley, Montcalm county, in 1868, where in 1872 she was converted and with her 
husband united with the M. E. church, of which she has continued a member 
until death.  In 1888 they moved to Keene which has since been their home.

we tender our most sincere thanks.
