Lake Odessa Wave - Times - September 26, 1913
           MRS. JOHN H. GRIFFIN DEAD

   In spite of all that surgical and medical science could do, that dread disease,
cancer, outdid them all and 
Mrs. John H. Griffin passed to her eternal home on Monday morning, just at break of
day, having been in 
health for several weeks back, and being taken much worse the latter part of last
week. She was a most 
estimable lady, a true and devoted Christian wife and mother, and though of a
retiring and unassuming 
disposition her impress for good is plainly noticeable on whatever she touched or on
whomever she met. 
Besides her husband she leaves two lovely children, Dale and Mamie, all of whom have
the sincere sympathy 
of a large circle of warm friends. The funeral was held yesterday forenoon at the M.
E. church of which she 
was a member, and was very largely attended. The pastor Rev. Laity preached a most
excellent sermon from 
the text "Blessed are thy who die in the Lord". The singing was by Mr. and Mrs.
Thos. Johnson, Merlin Morgan 
and Rose Warner, with Mr. L. W. Stewart, pianist. See obituary notice next week.

                           OBITUARY

   Louise B. Fleming was born in Carlton township, Barry County, Feb. 16, 1866, and
departed this life Sept. 
22, 1913, aged 47 years, 7 months and 6 days.

   She was married to John H. Griffin Oct. 30, 1891--her home at that time being in
Boston township, Ionia 
County. With the exception of about one year spent in California her married life
has been spent here in 
Sebewa township.

   In Feb., 1833, she gave her heart to God and united with the Sebewa Baptist
church. About a year ago she, 
with her husband and children, was received into membership of the M. E. church
here. Having a retiring 
disposition and being unassuming in manner, she lived in a very sweet way her
Christian life among us. Only 
those who knew her best could appreciate the devotion of her life to her family and
her Lord.

   She suffered for a long time from that insidious disease, cancer, which suffering
and bore with great 
fortitude and patience.  With not a murmur escaping her lips she came to the close
of her earthly career, 
when the Master said to her, about the dawn of day Sept. 22, "Come home."

   To mourn her absence she leaves her husband and two children - Dale and Mamie -
aunts, cousins and a 
large company of friends.

   "Servant of God, Well done."
