OBITUARY

Mary A. Dravenstatt was born in Casnovia, Michigan, August 4, 1858, of
Solomon and Elizabeth Dravenstatt. The family, soon after her birth, moved
to Maple Corners, then to Chester, finally to Sebewa, where she became
acquainted with and married George D. Halladay. The wedding took place
July 10, 1887. The happy couple first settled in Mulliken. Two years thereafter
they moved to Sebewa, then to Sunfield. Next to Grand Ledge and finally
to Sebewa, where they, with their mother, Mrs. Dravenstatt, have since
resided. One daughter, Clara, was born to them.

Several years ago Mrs Halladay showed signs of failing health. All possible
was done to stay the progress of increasing sickness but without avail,
until finally on the morning of April 21, 1910, she passed away. Her friends
have been constantly at her bedside to render whatever assistance they
could but to see her gradually yield to the bitter pain. She was a patient
suffer, a good mother, a devoted wife and a firm Christian.

The funeral was held from the M. E. church in Sebewa, Sunday, where she
was a member, where besides the immediate members of the family-mother,
husband, daughter, and brother, Oscar Dravenstatt many friends and relatives
were in attendance. Rev. J. W. Buell had charge of the services and was
assisted by Rev. C. D. Jarvis.
