Obituary.

Emerson Hinds was born in Manlis, Onondagua county, New York, the 7th of April,
1819, and he departed this life on the 6th of September, 1897, at his home in
Otisco.  He came to Michigan in 1840, soon after was married to Miss Louisa
Hill, who died about four years ago.  Together they started to carve a home in
the unbroken wilderness.  Four children were born to them, three of whom survive
him, Mrs. Cyrus Beedy of Smyrna, Michigan; Maurice B. of North Dakota; and John,
who resides on the old homestead in Otisco.  A few years ago after his marriage
his wife became an invalid and for twenty-three years he cared for her, never
losing courage but toiling on that his children might be glad.  Mr. Hinds was a
genial, kind hearted man, not only in word but in deed, as many could attest
that are unable to attend these last said rites.  His last illness was brief but
painful.  When informed by his medical advisor that his case was hopeless he met
the intelligence with the same brave spirit with which he conquered all other
trials and discouragements.
