Ionia Daily Sentinel-Std, Fri., January 14, 1921
Carrie L. Trowbridge nee Dodson was born in Wayne County, Ohio March 11, 
1847.  Departed this life January 4, 1921 at the age of 74 years, 9 months and 
23 days.  Her parents moved to Indiana when she was about eight years of age, 
then to Michigan when she was about seventeen.  She was married to George E. 
Trowbridge when she was twenty two and most of the time since has resided in 
Ronald Township, Ionia County, Mich., on a farm.  Mr. and Mrs. Trowbridge were 
the parents of 12 children; two of whom died in infancy.  the rest are 
living.  Six boys Forest, Edwin, George, Floyd, Clyde, and Ross.  Four girls, 
Mrs. Fremont Blystone, Mrs. D. J. Heath, Mrs. Archy Howard and Mrs. S.J Marrs.

She was converted when about 20 years of age and entered the United Brethren 
church near her home at that time about __ years ago.  Through struggles and 
trials has been faithful to Christ and the church of her choice ever since.

Ross, the youngest son as soon as he was discarged from the U.S. Service in 
France, came home and immediately started in to help his father and mother on 
the farm.  His father was killed by being thrown from a load of grain, in the 
bundle in the first week of Sept., 1919. Since then he has lived with his 
mother and has done what he could to lighten her load and care for her.  Her 
last sickness was lingering and others of her children came and did all that 
loving human hands could do to relieve her suffering. Near the close of her 
sickness she sang over and over again, the hymn, "Oh that Will be Glory to 
Me."  Truly a noble woman has gone from our midst.  A loving mother , a kind 
neighbor and good citizen. The funeral was held at the Baptist Church in 
Palo.  Rev. J. Potter of Carson City officiating and the body was laid to rest 
in the Palo cemetery beside her husband.
