Lyons Herald, 10 May 1917

Cynthia Azobah Hancock was born in Richfield, Ohio, April 11, 1835.  There she 
resided through the years of her childhood and young womanhood, the latter 
period being devoted to school teaching.  

In 1855 she was married to John William Rudgers of Brecksville, Ohio.  They 
continued to reside in Ohio for a short time, then went to Niagara Falls, N.Y., 
making their home there until 1857, when they moved to Michigan and took up 
their abode in Lyons, Ionia county, remaining here a great many years.  To this 
union six children were born, three of whom died in infancy.  The children 
remaining to mourn are Cortland A. Rudgers of Youngstown, Ohio; Mrs. Minnie 
Filer of Muskegon, Mich., and Carrie A. Rudgers of Hudson, Mich.

Mr. and Mrs. Rudgers united with the Baptist church in the city of Niagara 
Falls and when coming to Lyons they brought their church letters and united 
with the Baptist church here.  They were always active workers in this capacity 
and much enjoyed the same.

Mrs. Rudgers was a very active woman in every way up to her last illness.  She 
retained her mental faculties to the very last.  She made all arrangements for 
her funeral services as far back as the year 1914 and every thing that she 
wanted done was carried out to the very letter.  She departed this life Friday, 
May 4, 1917, at the home of her daughter, Carrie, in Hudson, Mich., where she 
had made her home since 1908.

Funeral services were held Sunday, May 6, at the vesper hour, 5:00 o’clock 
p.m., at the home.  The remains were brought to Lyons, Monday, May 7, 1917, for 
interment in the family lot of the cemetery where the husband, who died in 
1888, lies sleeping.

Mrs. Rudgers had resided for many years in Cleveland, Ohio; also Youngstown, 
Ohio, after leaving Lyons.
