   The family and friends of Mrs. Eugene Hunt were greatly surprised to hear of her
sudden illness which ended so soon in her death.
   Mrs. Hunt was well known by nearly everyone who had spent any amount of time in
her vicinity.  Having spent so much of her life on the farm with her husband, she was 
always interested in farming and looked after her renters herself after the husband's death.  
She was a good manager and a friend to everyone.

                                   OBITUARY
   Miss Josephine Collingham was born in Ionia County, September 19, 1855, and
departed this life Feb. 16, 1923 at the age of 67 years, 5 months, and 6 days.
   She was married to Mr. Eugene Hunt Sept. 10, 1876, he proceeding her to the great
beyond four years ago.
  With her husband, she moved onto the farm which they still own, one mile northwest
of Lake Odessa, when it was still an undeveloped tract of land;  but with their patient 
and untiring toll they made a beautiful home and in Nov. 1918 they moved to Lake Odessa 
for a well earned rest, but only lived here about four months, when the husband was taken away.
   To this union two girls were born, Mrs. Bertha Hines and Mrs. Lucy Clum, both of
this place.
   Mrs Hunt suffered a stroke on Sunday while preparing dinner and never regained
her speech.
   She was united with the Congregational church about 30 years ago and has ever
been an interested worker for her Lord and Master.
   She leaves to mourn her loss two daughters, five grand children one sister, two
brothers and a host of friends.
   Funeral services were held at her home on Fifth Avenue Monday at 2 o'clock.  Rev.
Zuse officiating, assisted by Rev. Mourer.
