Portland Review - Tues. March 22, 1932


ELIZABETH MEADOWS WAS ‘MOTHER’ TO ASSOCIATES



Fine Old Lady Passes Away At County Farm After Brief Illness



“She earned her way. She was especially good among the sick and a mother to us 
all,” was the tribute paid Mrs. Elizabeth Meadows by Superintendent Jackson, of 
the county farm, in discussing her death with the Review. This occurred 
Thursday morning after an illness of but three or four days, of pneumonia.

Mrs. Meadows was 83 and prior to going to Ionia in 1926 lived with her aged 
husband in Danby. They had no children, no immediate relatives. It was hard to 
make both ends meet and reluctantly the couple acceded to advice of friends and 
accepted the hospitality of the county. Mrs. Meadows might have found 
employment but, companion since childhood; they were not to be separated. Both 
won the respect and affection of all connected with the farm. 

John Meadows was first to be called. They brought his remains back to Danby and 
there was a vacant space beside the grave. Now it is filled, for these 
companions in life were not to be separated in death. The burial took place 
Saturday morning and a Sunfield preacher gave his benediction.

Mrs. Meadows was born and reared in England, coming to this country when she 
was 38. Here she married and the couple settled on a far south of Westphalia. 
They did not succeed at farming, finally selling it and moving to this 
vicinity.
