The Lake Odessa Wave, Thursday, February 24, 1938
Sarah Ann Bretz, daughter of Charles (illegible) and Elizabeth Bretz, was born 
December 19, 1857 at the Bretz farm homestead north of Lake Odessa.  At an 
early age she became a member of the West Odessa United Brethren church.  Her 
whole life has been spent in the vicinity of Lake Odessa.  On May 15, 1881 she 
was married to George M. Huddle and they together cleared the land and built 
the home on the farm where she resided until her death on February 17.  Her

Lansing, three grandchildren, Roger, Helen, and Howard Sweet, one sister, Mrs. 
William Curtis and two brothers, Frank Bretz, Lake Odessa, and Charles W.

thoughtfulness for others and she was well loved and respected.
