Belding News, 3 Feb 1910; Belding Banner, 3 Feb 1910

Died at Her Home on Broas Street Yesterday Morning.

Mrs. Margaret Jersey died at about one o’clock yesterday morning at her home on
Broas street, after a brief illness, aged nearly 80 years.

Margaret Smith was born at Penn Yan, N. Y., on March 26, 1830.  When nine years
of age, she came to Michigan with her parents, locating in Macomb county.  On
May 24, 1848, she was married to Peter H. Jersey at Romeo, Mich.  In 1865, she
and family came to Otisco township and located on a farm near Smyrna, where they
resided until 1878, when they removed to this city where she has since resided.
 Her husband died several years ago.

Deceased was the mother of seven children, five of whom are now living, and are
as follows:  Mrs. Alice Mitchell and Ed. Jersey, of Belding; Henry, of Oklahoma;
Peter J., of Cleveland, O.; and Niel, of Saginaw.

Mrs. Jersey sowed a lifetime of good deeds, was a fond and affectionate mother
and a kind, generous and obliging neighbor, and leaves, besides her relatives, a
wide circle of friends to mourn their loss.

Up to the hour of going to press we have not been informed when the funeral will
take place.
----

Mrs. Margaret A. Jersey

The death of Mrs. Margaret A. Jersey occurred at her late residence Wednesday,
at the age of 85 years.  She was one of the old pioneer residents of this city,

settlement of this part of the country.  Her husband died several years ago. 
She leaves four sons Henry, Peter, Neil and Edgar, and one daughter Alice Mitchell.

Mrs. Jersey was one of those grand old-fashioned ladies whom all loved and loved
her home and people.
