Lake Odessa Wave, 23 May 1924

Charlotte M. Daniels was born Sept. 1, 1844, in Scipio, Cayuga county New York, 
and departed this life May 14, 1924, near Lake Odessa, Mich., at the age of 79 
years, 8 mos., and 14 days.

At the age of nine years she moved with her parents to Lowell, Mich., and from 
there to Ionia county near the city of Ionia where she was united in marriage 
to Andrew Charles Steward, Oct. 29, 1863, when she went with her husband to his 
home in Odessa township where they lived, until they moved to their present 
home where they have lived for the past 32 years.

To this union were born four children, Nathan of Bismark, Mertie A. at home, 
and Millie M., of Cressy, Mich., one dying in infancy.

She leaves to mourn her departure besides her children, an aged invalid 
husband, 12 grandchildren, 12 great-grandchildren, besides two others gone 
before, waiting for grandma; also four sisters, Mrs. Jane Miller, and Mrs. 
William Aldrich of Grand Rapids, Mrs. Mary Drake of Sunfield, Mrs. Francis 
Seyon of Barryton beside a host of other relatives and friends.  One sister and 
two brothers having preceded her to the other world.

Early in their married life they learned to love their Savior, uniting with the 
Baptist church in Sebewa then transferring to Lake Odessa where she remained a 
faithful follower of her Lord and Master until death claimed her.

Her last words were a prayer for her loved ones.  She was a kind neighbor, a 
very devoted, true Christian wife and mother.  Her health has been impaired for 
a number of years, but Mertie’s constant, patient, willing and loving care did 
much to relieve her suffering and also that of her invalid father who has had 
her ever watchful care for the past number of years.

The funeral was held at the home, Friday at eleven o’clock, Rev. S. H. Cone of 
the M. E. Church in Vermontville gave a splendid talk from the text, Psalms, 
116-15.  The singing was by Mrs. S. H. Cope, “When Mother Prayed” and “In The 
New Jerusalem”, which was one of her favorites.  Her grandsons acted as 
pallbearers, they were Albert Evert Steward and Clayton and Andrew Aldrich.  
Burial in Lake Side Cemetery.
