Kidd. Mrs. Kidd was one of the early settlers, coming to Michigan in 1835 with her father and mother, Jesse and Mary Stevenson, and three brothers and three sisters. Two of her sisters, Sarah and Jesse, have long since passed away; Catherine, her youngest sister, and her three brothers, George, Edward and John, survive her. In the early history of our county she was foremost in deeds of charity and lore, giving her aid to every good cause and assistance and words of encouragement to the many needy pioneers of the little settlement. She will be remembered by hundreds of those early comers with feeling of affection and esteem. For the past two years she has been suffering from disease, and her death though somewhat sudden was not unexpected by her family. The funeral takes place at the residence this afternoon at two o’clock.
