Belding Banner News, 6 Aug 1896

Mrs. Rhoby Madden died quite suddenly last night at the residence of her son 
George.  The deceased has been in poor health for some time.  Mr. Madden has 
exchanged his farm near the city for another and also some city property and 
was moving to town.  Mrs. Madden had come down to stay with her son until they 
got settled.  It is supposed the excitement of the change aggravated her 
trouble and was the cause of her sudden taking away.  She was 66 years old and 
has been a resident here and in Northplains from which town they came to this 
township forty years or more.  She was born in Whitby, Canada and was the wife 
of Samuel Madden to whom she was married forty-two years ago.  They settled 
first in Fairplains, Montcalm Co., three years later came to Northplains, and 
in 1871 moved to Otisco.  She leaves a husband, two sons and a daughter.  The 
funeral will be held Saturday at 10 o’clock at the Congregational church.  At 
her own request a post-mortem was held to ascertain her trouble, and Dr. 
Stanton assisted by Dr. Morris and Dr. Thomas Mann, the latter on a visit here 
from Ann Arbor, made the examination and the cause found to be a cancerous 
condition in the pelvic organs.
