Ionia Sentinel Standard – Thursday, 3 February 1927
Last Thursday afternoon Mrs. Elizabeth Ransome, 78, who for more than a half 
century was a resident of Orleans township, received injuries when she was 
stepped on by a horse at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Byron Haskins, on the 
State road, and her death occurred there Wednesday evening at 9 o’clock as 
members of her family were getting her ready for the night.  However, it is 
not thought that her death was caused by the injuries which she received at 
the time of the accident last week.  She had gained rapidly since that day and 
was making plans to (unreadable) a chair Thursday.  Mrs. Ransome, who had been 
at the home of her daughter only a short time, had gone to the barn with a 
pail when the horse came into the barn and knocked her down.  She received 
injuries about the abdomen and other bruises.  Members of the family believe 
her sudden death Wednesday evening was caused by her heart.  It was thought by 
the attending physician and those assisting in the care of Mrs. Ransome that 
no internal injuries were received.

For the past 58 years, Mrs. Ransome had been well known among Orleans 
township’s residents.  Orleans Township located just west of the railroad 
track on what is commonly known as the Wood’s corner road.  After disposing of 
her small farm only a few weeks ago she went to the home of Mr. and Mrs. 
Haskins to reside.  Her husband William Ransome, died 18 years ago.

Mrs. Ransome was born in the state of Pennsylvania in 1849.  She is survived 
by three children, Mrs. Byron Haskins, at whose home she died, Mrs. William 
Hogan of Smyrna and William Ransome of Orleans.  She also leaves nine 
grandchildren and 11 great grandchildren.

The funeral service will be held from the resident of Mr. and Mrs. Byron 
Haskins in Orleans Township Saturday afternoon at 7 o’clock eastern standard 
time.  Burial will be made in the family lot at the Orleans cemetery.
