Mrs. Eugene Russell.

Emma Russel, wife of Eugene Russel died at her home in this village Dec 9th,
1900.  Her body was taken to Belding Wednesday for interment in the Otisco
cemetery.  Emma Godfrey was born in Vergennes, Kent Co, Mich. Aug. 8th, 1849. 
She removed with her husband to Luther about 13 years ago since which time this
has been their home excepting a short residence in Grand Rapids about four years
ago.  Last winter her health began to fail and although everything that loving
thoughtfulness and tender care could give were hers yet the dread messenger
“Death” came steadily nearer.  Mrs. Russel was closely identified with Luther
Hive, L.O.T.M. being one of the early members of that order.  She was always
ready to help even to the point of sacrifice to in any way benefit the order or
any of the sisterhood and will be greatly missed by them.  As a friend and
neighbor she will long be remembered with loving thoughts for her many acts of
kindness.  The bereaved husband has the deepest sympathy of the community in his
loss and while his home is left desolate through the loss of his loved one, we
feel that we can mourn with him for we too have lost a friend.  – Luther Observer.
