Grim Reaper Strikes Four In Miriam Parish

Quartette of Deaths On Saturday Spreads Gloom Over Community.

Death took a rather heavy toll in lives last Saturday when the final summons 
came to four residents of the Miriam district and as it happens all members of 
St. Mary’s Catholic church there for practically their entire life times.  Two 
of the deaths followed months of lingering and painful illness and one of them 
followed an illness of a week while another resulted from heart failure and 
came so sudden that not a word was uttered to indicate that the stricken one 
was ill.

Mrs. J. P. Laux

Mrs. J. P. Laux, the first of the quartette to die, passed away at the Belding 
hospital, Saturday morning at four o’clock, following an operation for cancer 
of the breast.  While Mrs. Laux had not been ill, she had been at the hospital 
for a week, during which the operation was performed.

Mrs. Laux was 63 years of age, having been born on October 29, 1856 in Ottawa 
county.  In April, 1875 she was married to J. P. Laux, in St. Mary’s Catholic 
church, Miriam and the then young couple took up their residence south of the 
city where her entire married life was spent.  The funeral was held on Tuesday 
morning at 9 o’clock from St. Mary’s church and interment was in St. Mary’s 
cemetery.

She is survived by her husband, two sons, Frank and Albert, of Miriam, three 
daughters, Susie, of Detroit, Mrs. Ed. Schoenborn, of Reno and Lillian, at 
home, two brothers, Julius and Frank Dohm, of Berlin, this state and three 
sisters, Mrs. Henry Dittmann, of Mt. Pleasant, Mrs. Theodore Boge, California 
and Mrs. Susan Johnson, of Lansing.
