Lake Odessa Wave, 6 Apr 1904

Mary Kavanaugh was born in Boston, Mass., June 14, 1832.  She was the oldest of 
ten children only one of whom, a brother, is now living.  She moved with her 
parents to Ann Arbor, Mich., about 1838 and to Litchfield, Hillsdale county, in 
1849.  She was married to Loran Staples, February 6th, 1850, from which union 
seven children were born all of whom with the aged husband and father survive 
her.  She was converted under Methodist preaching in 1855 joined the Methodist 
Episcopal church soon after and, except for a short time during which she held 
her membership with the Presbyterian church of West Sebewa, remained a 
consistent and devoted member thereof to the time of her death.  She moved to 
Sebewa with her husband and family in 1875 where she lived until called to her 
reward, March 17th, 1904.  Her quiet unobtrusive and genuinely Christian life 
greatly endeared her to her friends and neighbors and especially to her 
Christian brothers and sisters.  Would there were more like her.
