Belding Banner, 14 May 1908

The news of the death of Mrs. Susie J. Osborn, received here Sunday was a shock 
to her many friends and relatives.  Many hearts were made sad by the news for 
she was a woman loved and esteemed by all who knew her and her acquaintance in 
this township was wide.  Mrs. Osborn, accompanied by her daughter, Mabel, left 
here a little over two weeks ago to visit with her sister, Mrs. R.T. Nicholas, 
in Chicago, and also to take treatment at a hospital in that city.  The 
physician advised her to undergo an operation, which she did last week, 
Wednesday, and was getting along finely until Friday, when she was taken with 
an attack of pneumonia and death terminated a beautiful life Sunday morning May 
10.  The remains were brought to this city Monday morning and the scene at the 
station was a sad one.

The deceased was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J.W. Curtis, old and respected 
residents near here.  She was born in Ingersol, Ont., Canada, Jan. 26, 1859, 
and came with her parents to Michigan in 1865.  She was united in marriage to 
Aaron J. Osborn Feb. 22, 1882, and their home was blessed with one daughter, 
Mabel.  Nearly three years ago Aaron J. Osborn met a tragic death by fire-damp 
in a well in Keene.

The funeral was held Tuesday afternoon at her late residence, and was attended 
by a large number of friends and the Smyrna Ladies of the Modern Maccabees, of 
which hive she was an esteemed member.  Rev. N.J. Myers officiated, preaching 
from Psalm xxiii, a text selected by her daughter, Mabel, and Mrs. D. Hoppough 
sang with much feeling the sweet songs, “Sometime We’ll Understand,” and “No 
Goodbyes There.”  The remains were laid to rest by the side of her husband in 
River Ridge cemetery.

Besides her daughter, Mabel, she leaves to mourn her departure, her parents, 
Mr. and Mrs. J.W. Curtis, one brother, Barney C. Curtis, and four sisters, Mrs. 
Bunker and Mrs. Hattie Schwartzloff of Eureka; Mrs. Lizzie Norton of Otisco; 
and Mrs. R.T. Nicholas of Chicago.
