Lake Odessa Times, 13 Jul 1906

Sarah Jane Bodell was born in Perry Co., Ohio, March 24, 1823, but in 1834, at 
the age of eleven, she moved with her parents to Allen County of the same 
state, where she attended school and grew to womanhood.

She was united in marriage Dec. 24, 1838 to Henry Hulliberger of Allen County, 
Ohio, who with six sons, Jacob, of Blanchard, Mich.; Samuel Lee, of Lima, Ohio; 
John, of Iowa; James, of Freeport, Mich.; and Wm. Henry and Benjamin, of this 
place (a daughter, Elizabeth having died when young) 25 grandchildren and 22 
great grandchildren and other relatives are left to mourn her departure.

In 1866, she with her family came to Michigan settling in Campbell, which has 
since been their home, there to do their part in clearing up what was then a 
wilderness and making it the thriving community of today.

It is with feelings of great respect and reverence that we witness the passing 
of these grandfathers and grandmothers – the busy workers of former days, who 
braved the dangers and privations of the wild forest and made our home the 
peaceful and prosperous commonwealth of today, feeling that to them we owe a 
great debt of gratitude.

At an early age the deceased united with the German Baptist Brethren church of 
which she was a steadfast member until her death.

During the past five years the deceased was a constant sufferer from paralysis 
which caused her death Friday, June 29 after kind and loving hands had done all 
in their power to relieve her.

The funeral services were held at the Thornapple church, Sunday a.m. July 1, 
Rev. S. M. Smith officiating, after which the remains were followed to their 
final resting place in Campbell cemetery by a large concourse of sorrowing 
friends.  After a period of 66 years of married life at the ripe age of 83 
years, she passed to her beautiful home beyond there to await the coming of 
those left behind.
