Mrs. Hines was taken suddenly ill Thursday afternoon with hemorrhage of the 
stomach and died Friday morning, she had been in poor health for the last three 
years but had been as well as usual for some time past, being up and around the 
house.  She had seemed especially well for a few days previous to the attack 
which ended her life, even remarking that she felt like walking around which at 
times previous she was able to do.

The funeral was held at the home residence on sixth avenue Sunday afternoon at 
2:30, conducted by the Rev. Wm. a Burch of the Advent Christian church of 
Detroit assisted by Rev. W. J. Prestidge of the Congregational church.  The 
text chosen by Mr. Burch who preached the sermon was “Where fore comfort ye one 
another with these words.”  The singing was by Wm. Gilson, E. Pilkinton, Mrs. 
A. B. Usborne and Miss Grace Parker.  The house was crowded and many were 
obliged to remain outside.  The floral offerings were very numerous and 
beautiful.  The pall bearers were Messrs W. S. and A. B. Augst, David Smith and 
Otis Miner.

Obituary

The deceased, Sarah A. Cramer Hines was born in Morrow county, Ohio, Oct 10, 
1843.  At the age of three years her father moved to Noble County, Indiana, 
where she grew to womanhood.  September 26, 1867 she was united in marriage to 
Geo. W. Hines.  Three sons were born to them, Perry F., Mahlon E and Orville, 
the latter dying in infancy.  In 1869 the family moved to Michigan, settling at 
Sunfield, then a wilderness.  Ten years later the family removed to the 
township of Benton, four miles north of Charlotte.  During the seventeen years 
spent there Mr. and Mrs. Hines united with the West Benton M. E. Church, of 
which they were charter members.  They took an active part in forwarding the 
erection of the church building there.

In 1896 the family removed to Lake Odessa and shortly afterward united with the 
Congregational church, of which Mrs. Hines was a member at the time of her 
death.  Sister Hines was a devoted wife, an affectionate mother, a kind 
neighbor, and maintained her faith and hope in her risen Lord to the end of 
life.  Latterly feeble health has prevented the attendance at and devotion to 
the church of Christ which characterized her earlier years.  Although a patient 
sufferer for many months, at the last death came suddenly, and peacefully our 
sister fell asleep June 17, 1910.
