Lake Odessa Scrapbook - October 1892

Barbara A.Huddle was born near the village of Bloomville, Seneca Co., Ohio Sept. 
20th, 1857, and died at her home in Odessa, Oct.6, 1892, aged 35 years and 16 
days. She was the only girl in a family of eight children, four of whom survive 
her after the death of the mother, in 1872, the father having died nine years 
previous. She came to Michigan and lived with an aunt. She was married to Wesley 
George in June 1875. Their union was blessed with two daughters, one of whom 
died in infancy. She was an invalid for nine years, the last two months being 
perfectly helpless.Two weeks before her  death, realizing that the end was near, 
she called her family to her bedside and gave full instructions as to her will 
and her funeral, adding you know I love flowers, when I am gone cover me with 
flowers, and shed not a tear for me for I go to a better home. She was a 
daughter of affection, but when God's finger touched her  she slept. The funeral 
was held at 1:30 o'clock Sunday, the 9th inst., at the Myers church. Rev. B.H. 
Mourer officiating. Text: 1st Cor., 9_15, "It was better for me to die". The 
floral offerings were numerous and perfectly beautiful. The house was filled to 
over flowing; fully half the people not being able to gain admittance. The 
remains were interred in the Lakeside Cemetery, where they rest. Peace be to her 
ashes.
