Woman of 77 Is Apoplexy Victim

Mrs. Mary R. Guernsey Died This Morning At Home Of Daughter, Mrs. Jos. Morse.

Mrs. Mary R. Guernsey, wife of Albert Guernsey, died of apoplexy at 5:30 
o’clock this (Thursday) morning at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Joseph Morse, 
north of the village.  She was stricken at 8:00 o’clock last night and from 
that time on had no chance of recovery.  She had been making her home with her 
daughter since last November.

Mrs. Guernsey was 77 years of age on January 1st last, having been born at Red 
Creek, N. Y., January 1, 1843.  Her maiden name was Mary Lounsbery.  She came 
to Michigan with her husband about 42 years ago.  They first settled on a farm 
near Matherton and later on a farm between Lyons and Pewamo, having sold the 
latter place last fall on account of their advancing age and ill health.  Since 
selling their farm they had been living with their daughter, Mrs. Morse.

Besides the husband and the daughter mentioned, Mrs. Guernsey leaves a son, 
Jesse Guernsey, of Matherton, a brother, Bert Lounsbery, and a sister, Miss 
Sarah Lounsbery, both residing at Hinsdale, Ill.  Mr. and Mrs. Guernsey were 
originally the parents of seven children.

Funeral services for Mrs. Guernsey are to be held Saturday morning at 10:00 
o’clock, at the Morse home, and the body will be taken across country to the 
East Plains cemetery, for burial.
