The Lake Odessa Wave, Thursday, October 1, 1931
Mrs. Abraham Thomas, who has been ill for several weeks, but who was not 
considered to be in immediate danger, passed away at her home in Campbell 
Saturday at the age of 70 years.  Mrs. Thomas was a loving mother and faithful 
member of the Friends church for many years where she loved to give her 
earnest effort.  She had lived in the community known as Pinhook in Campbell 
township, west of Odessa, a number of years, making many friends among the 
neighbors there.

The funeral was held Monday afternoon with several former pastors present.  
Burial was at Lakeside cemetery.

Elmira Kime was a daughter of Emanuel and Sally Kime.  She was born in 
Somerset county, Pennsylvania, in 1861.  She moved with her parents to 
Michigan when about eight years of age.  She was united in marriage with 
Abraham Thomas, Nov. 10, 1878, and united with the church the following 
spring.  

To this union seven children were born, three sons and four daughters; Mrs. 
Clara Allen of Lake Odessa; William, deceased; Claud of Kalamazoo; Martha 
Kussmant of Woodbury; Ruby Klingman of Battle Creek; Pearl Swiger on the home 
place; and Roy of Hastings.  She also leaves nine grandchildren, two deceased, 
Vivern Thomas, and Voight Klingman, and five great grandchildren; two brothers 
and two sisters who mourn her departure.  In the passing away of Sister Thomas 
the family has lost a loving mother, the husband a devoted wife, the community 
a kind friend, the church a sincere sister in Christ, and the Sister’s Aid 
Society an energetic worker.
