Ionia Sentinel, 16 Aug 1900

Of the wife of Hon. Joseph A Locher, who died recently at Saranac, the Local
says: "Mrs. Locher was the mother of eight children, three sons & five
daughters, of whom six are still living & who, with their father, mourn the loss
of a devoted mother & wife.  The funeral services were held from the family
residence Saturday afternoon.  The remains were laid to rest in the Saranac
cemetery." Deceased was 57 years of age & was married to Mr. Locher in 1865.

[Transcriber's Note:  Both the Saranac cemetery records and the photo of the
cemetery marker indicate a death date of Aug. 12, 1902.  However, a descendant
of Mrs. Locher has a copy of her death certificate which gives a death date of 2
Aug 1900.]
