January 19, 1915 Mrs. Anna Ludwick called to the great beyond following a short illness at the home of her daughter in Lebanon Township. Funeral last Friday at St. Joseph’s church. The residents of this community were sorrowed to learn of the death on Tuesday, January 19th, 1915 of Mrs. Anna Ludwick, at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Charles Brown of Lebanon township, where she had gone for a short visit. Mrs. Ludwick had not been feeling well for a number of months from heart trouble and other ailments, but it was not believed that her condition was so serious until while seated at the supper table the Wednesday evening preceding her death she was taken with a fainting spell from which she hardly rallied until the end came. The funeral was held Friday morning from St. Joseph’s church in this village, Rev. Fr. Kuehnel officiating at a solemn high mass. Interment was made in the Dallas Catholic cemetery, where her former husband and a daughter lie buried. Anna Currie was born to Patrick and Ellen Currie at Ionia, January 29th, 1856, and had she lived until today she would have been 59 years of age. While still a young girl her parents moved from Ionia onto a farm, just west of Hubbardston, being among the pioneer settlers of that part of Ionia county. On May 9th, 1876 she was united in marriage to Michael Henry, the ceremony uniting two loving hearts, being performed in St. Mary’s church in Westphalia, there being no parish church at Hubbardston at that time. The young couple began life together on a farm in Dallas township in what is now known as the Sage district. A few years later they moved to Stearns, going form their to Bitely, where Mr. Henry was employed as a lumber inspector. They continued to reside at Bitely until the death of Mr. Henry in February 1891, when the remaining members of the family came to Fowler to make their home. Three girls came to bless their union; Norah, now Mrs. F. D. Keister; Ella, whose death occurred several years ago, and Anna, now Mrs. Charles Brown. In October 1902 Mrs. Henry was united in marriage to Jacob E. Ludwick, a former pioneer settler of Lebanon township, and they settled on a farm three miles north of Pewamo. In June 1907, Mr. Ludwick passed to the great beyond and after residing on the farm for a year or so afterward, Mrs. Ludwick moved to Pewamo, where she continued to reside until the time of her demise. Besides the two daughters, Mrs. Keister and Mrs. Brown, the deceased leaves two sisters; Mrs. Ellen Long of Dallas, and Mrs. John J. Long of Fowler; six grandchildren, as well as an unnumbered host of friends are left to mourn her departure.
