Lake Odessa Wave, 23 October 1903
Mrs. Charles Hough died at her home in Southeast Odessa on Wednesday afternoon 
at about eleven o'clock, the cause of her death being the rupture of a blood 
vessel in her heart, caused by straining in an attempt to vomit.  Mrs. Hough 
had not been sick, but still she had been ailling for some time,although her 
condtion was not serious at any time. On Wednesday morning she arose in her 
usual health, but in the early forenoon complained of a severe headache, and 
Mr. Hough called for a physician from Woodbury who was not at home at the 
time, but sent word that he would be there in a shot time.  Mr. Hough and his 
oldest daughter proceeded to do up the morning's housework, while Mrs. Hough 
laid down on the couch.  At about eleven o'clock they heard an unusual noise 
in the room in which Mrs. Hough was laying and went in to investigate, finding 
the unfortunate mother unable to speak, and in a dying condition.  She soon 
passed away before others could get on the scene.  The doctor arrived from 
Woodbury about noon but after examiniation he stated that he would have been 
unable to render any assistance had he been present.

The funeral will be held from the Woodbury U. B. church this forenoon, the 
people meeting at the home of the Houghs' at ten o'clock and going from there 
to the church.  Rev. Bostwick of Salem, formerly of Woodbury, will preach the 
sermon and the lady's remains laid at rest in Lakeside cemetery.

Mrs. Hough was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ferdinand Sweitzer, formerly 
residents of Sebewa, but now deceased.  She was born February 21st 1867 and 
was married to Mr. Hough in September, 1885.  To this union has been born 
three daughters, aged 17, 16 and 7 years.  An exceptional bright trio of young 
ladies that will be a great comfort and help to a sorrowing father.

Mr. and Mrs. Hough have been residents of Odessa township ever since their 
marriage, with the exception of eighteen months spent in Mecosta county about 
seven years ago, after which they returned and went back onto the Hough farm, 
where they have since lived and prospered.  Mrs. Hough was a member of the 
Royal Neighbors lodge of Woodbury.  She was blessed wtih a great many friends 
and relatives, all of whom loved her well, and have the deepest sympathy for 
the sorrowing man and children.
