Mrs. H. came to Ionia county in 1845, and for nearly half a century, was actively identified with its growth and changes. In company with her husband, they settled upon a farm in Orange, but the husband died in the short period of two years after thus settling, and the sturdy wife has since successfully managed the family interests. Seven children were born unto them, but the two mentioned above alone survive. The funeral was from the church of SS. Peter and Paul, in this city, on Wednesday, and was largely attended.
