The Ionia Sentinel-Standard, Thursday, February 9, 1911

Mabel Knowles was born at Bloomer, Montcalm county, in the year of 1864 and 
died at her home in Ionia, Wednesday, Jan. 24, 1911.  Her early life was 
passed in Bloomer and in 1884 she was united in marriage to Wallace E. Mosher, 
of Ronald.  To this union four sons were born, now young men, Lee aged 26, 
Stanley aged 22, Burr aged 18 and Edward aged 9.

Many years of her married life were spent in Ronald, where her beautiful 
character won the love and esteem of a large circle of friends.  Their removal 
to Ionia about two years ago was made to relieve her from the care of farm 
work, as it was known that her health was failing.  She went to Ann Arbor for 
treatment, but she received only temporary benefit, and since then she has 
gradually grown weaker.

The thought of leaving the husband, the three grown sons, the little son 
Edward, who must grow to manhood bereft of the care of a devoted mother, the 
aged parents, two bright little grand children, the stricken mother of the 
home and many other relatives and friends she loved has made the patient 
struggle for life a brave one.  Knowing the terrible suffering she has 
undergone and seeing the peace that was on her face, as she was laid to rest, 
we must feel with her that “It is well.”

The funeral services were held at o’clock Saturday, conducted by the Rev. A. 
T. Luther, of Grand Rapids, a friend of the family.  Beautiful songs were 
rendered by Mrs. Maurice Phelps and Mrs. Cressy.  Covered with beautiful 
flowers from lodges, fellow workmen of the husband at the Stafford 
manufacturing company, relatives, old neighbors and friends, not only a loving 
tribute to the dead, but bringing a message of sympathy to the stricken 
family, she was tenderly carried to her last resting place in Highland Park, 
by her three sons, and three brothers.
