OBITUARY FOR ANNA NORCUTT MOURER
Anna Norcutt Mourer was born in Campbell, Ionia county, Michigan Nov. 29, 1882 
and died in Rochester, Minn., Nov. 15, 1921, aged 38 years, 11 month and 16 
days.

Her early years were spent with her parents, Mr and Mrs Z.T. Norcutt in 
Campbell, where she attended school in the Mill District and also at the 
Clarksville Academy. In the year of 1896 she first found Jesus as her Savior in 
a small revival meeting held by Rev. Chas. L. Bradley at the old West Odessa 
U.B. church. She was baptized soon after by Rev. I. Mourer, with whom she was 
afterward closely related in life.

On Dec. 1, 1901, she was united in marriage to Chas.C. Mourer by Rev. I.H. 
Mourer, the groom's grandfather. To this union has been born six children, Clio, 
Hazelle, Viverne, Dillen, Wayne and Paul.

On feb. 23, 1913 she again bowed at the alter in the Liberal U.B. church and 
renewed her covenant with Jesus; her husband also that night surrendering to the 
Lord Jesus Christ. From this time forward followed a life of service to her Lord 
and Master, both as a mother and a minister's wife.

In 1917 she began to be afflicted with a serious case of goitre, and in addition 
to several anointing for Divine Healing has sought for help among various 
surgeons of the land. In April 1921 she, accompanied by her husband, went to 
Rochester, Minn, where she received ligations and returned July 2, to her last 
earthly home on the old Mourer farm, to which the family moved immediately upon 
her return.

She having greatly improved in the meantime, again departed to Rochester, Minn., 
for the final operation  the night of October 28, in high hopes of a speedy 
recovery.

She underwent a successful operation Monday forenoon, Nov. 14, and seemed very 
hopeful. But a complications set in, in which the tissues of the neck and 
trachea became swollen and inflamed and as a consequence,, on Tuesday forenoon 
at 11:00 o'clock a chocking fit caused her heart to fail and instant death 
ensued.

She was a precious wife, a dear Christian mother and was sweetly resigned to 
Jesus' will. A letter was found, written in her last hours in which she exhorted 
her "children to meet her in the "Glory World" should they never see her again.

She leaves behind a husband, six children, a father, mother, one sister and 
three brothers, besides many other relatives and in addition a host of friends 
in Michigan and in Rochester, Minn.  

We shall miss you, precious girl, but by the grace of God, we shall meet you 
again at the"Marriage of the Lamb, never to part again."

Funeral services were held at the Calvary U.B. church in Lake Odessa, on Sunday 
forenoon, Nov. 20. Rev.M.F. Early, assisted by several brethren of the Michigan 
conference officiated, using "Death, and the Resurrection" as his subject. Many 
were the floral contributions, and large was the concourse of people which 
gathered to pay their last respects to the deceased. Burial was made in Lakeside 
Cemetery.
