Lake Odessa Wave - June 3, 1898
          DIED

RICHMOND-Bertha wife of Howard Richmond at the home of Arthur Richmond: in Boston,
township, on 
Tuesday night, May 17, 1898, of paralysis of the heart.

   Bertha Anyway was born in the township of Odessa July 18th, 1877, where she lived
till the time of her 
marriage, with the exception of what time she was away attending school at Saranac
and Big Rapids, or 
teaching school. She was united in marriage with Howard Richmond Jan. 5th, 1898, and
they lived with his 
parents since that time. She leaves a husband and parents and two sisters who mourn
their loss, besides a 
large circle of friends to whom she had endeared herself by her loving disposition
and character.

   Down the dark valley alone, alone.

   Our wife-winged dove in her beauty has flown.

   Her lentder eyes, that shone so bright,

   Are closed forever to earthly light.

   She has left the love that was round her thrown

   And down the dark valley has fled alone.



   Alone, alone, but beyond the night

   Or that darkened vale is a radiant light.

   Which lights the path with a brighter ray

   Than shines the brightness of solar day.

   It bursts from God's ethereal throne

   And lights the valley she trod alone.
