The Portland Observer, Thursday, January 12, 1928

Mrs. Lon Sandborn, aged 53 years, passed away at her home in Sebewa last 
Saturday following an illness of a number of years.  Funeral services were 
held at the Sebewa M. E. church Tuesday afternoon, in charge of Rev. 
Skentlebury, pastor of the Portland Congregational church.  Burial was made in 
Danby cemetery.

Mrs. Sandborn’s maiden name was Elma Luscher.  She was the daughter of the 
late Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Lusher, well known pioneer residents of Sebewa.  She 
was born in that township on August 13, 1874, and on April 10, 1892 was united 
in marriage to Mr. Sandborn.  To this union nine children were born, Herbert, 
of Duluth; Columbus, who died in January 1920, Jacob, of Saranac; Riley of 
Orange; Lawrence, teacher in the schools at Biely, Mich.; Raymond, Melvern and 
Miss Vera, at home.  Besides the husband and eight children four sisters also 
survive.  They are Mrs. Norman Gibbs of Portland; Mrs. John Johnson of 
Brigham, Utah; Mrs. Harry Tussing of Lake Odessa; and Mrs. Herbert McNeil of 
Portland.

Mrs. Sandborn had been an invalid for the past 12 years.  She was a patient 
sufferer and in spite of the impairment of her health was always cheerful, 
constantly hoping for the best.  During her illness she had submitted to 
several operations, these being performed at Ann Arbor and Mayo Brother’s 
hospital at Rochester, Minn.  She was a devoted wife and mother and leaves a 
host of friends to mourn the loss of the family. 

At the age of 17 years she joined the Sebewa Methodist church, taking a keen 
and active interest in its affairs which continued until death called her away.
