She came to Ionia county at the age of eleven years. She has lived in Ionia township a few years, in Berlin township a number of years and has lived in Orange township over forty years. At the age of eighteen she was united in marriage to George Townsend, with whom she lived until his death in 1909. One child was born to this union, a girl, who has purchased her to the better land. Mrs. Townsend joined the LeValley M. E. church a number of years ago. Her cheerful disposition and her life spent in sacrificing for others, endured her to all that knew her and though she leaves no immediate family, she leaves many relatives and near friends to mourn her departure.
