Lake Odessa Wave
SMITH, MARY ANN (MOYE) (MRS. EDGAR):
   LAKE ODESSA WAVE, Michigan, Friday, June 2, 1899, page 8:  "Obituary.  Mrs.
Mary Ann Smith was born in Wayne county, Michigan, in 1839 and moved into Kent
county in 1843.  She again moved, to Keene, Ionia county, on July 2nd, 1858, and
was married on July 30 of the same year and there remained for 29 years.
   On Dec. 7, 1887 they moved to Lake Odessa, and has lived here ever since.
   About one year ago she subjected herself to a delicate surgical operation at
which time she was very near the gates of death.  She slowly recovered, but
since that time has been in very poor health, and her strength gradually failed
and more rapidly since March of this year.
   During the last few weeks of her illness she felt that life's end was
nearing, and no doubt summoned her faith in God to prepare and await it as she
said:  I am ready to go where He calls me."
   When the summons came she died as peacefully as one falling into a slumber,
on Sunday evening May 28.
   The funeral was held from the Congregational church on Wednesday afternoon at
two o'clock, Rev. Skentlebury preaching the sermon, and the remains laid to rest
in Lakeside cemetery."

   Per LAKE ODESSA WAVE, Friday, June 16, 1899, page 5:  "We wish to extend our
heartfelt thanks to the many friends who kindly assisted us in the sickness and
burial of our dear wife and mother and also for the flowers furnished.  Edgar
Smith and Family."  (Per LAKE ODESSA WAVE, Michigan, Friday, June 2, 1899, page
