This was at the home of a daughter who was living in the state of Washington. This summer the daughter came to Michigan, her former home, with the mother. Mrs. Minard was born in Wolcott, N.Y., and came to Lyons at the age of 17 to live with her brother (unreadable first name) Hathaway, a lumberman, who owned what is now the Dougherty home. Her education was received in New York, and after coming here, she taught in Pewamo, Lyons, and Muir. In 1873 she married John McQuillan, a native of Ireland, who had also taught in Ionia county schools and was teaching for a time in the same school with Miss Hathaway and in the same school where now their daughter, now Mrs. Currie taught. Mr. McQuillan was cashier of the Dougherty bank for several years. He died in about 1903 and five years later she married S. T. Minard, who has been dead several years. He was living in Ionia at the time of their marriage, having been a retired farmer of Easton. After his death she went to the home of Mrs. Currie in the state of Washington. She was a member of the SS. Peter and Paul church, where the funeral services will be conducted Tuesday morning at 9 o’clock in S. Peter and Paul church. Burial will be in Mt. Olivet cemetery. The body reposes at the Orin Stone funeral home, 151 East Washington street, where it will remain until the funeral services Tuesday morning. Mrs. Minard leaves four children; the daughter in Ionia; John McQuillan, Detroit; Ralph McQuillan, Seattle, Wash.; Lawrence McQuillan, Chicago; two grandchildren, Kenneth Currie, of Ionia, and Catherine McQuillan, of the West.
