Lake Odessa Wave-Times-June 22, 1944

PTOMAINE POISONING TAKES LOCAL WOMAN
Mrs. Lillian Trowbridge, 77, died Saturday morning from ptomaine poisoning after
only two days of illness. It seems she had eaten some ham and as the refrigerator was out of
repair the remainder was put in the basement at her home. Eating again of the meat she was
taken violently ill. It was found that the left-over meat had spoiled which resulted
in her death.

Mrs. Trowbridge was Lillian May Day, was born in Pauling county, Ohio, and in 1880
was married to Jerome Trowbridge a veteran of the Civil war.  They  came to Michigan and
settled at Edmore, 40 years ago moving to Lake Odessa.

Mrs. Trowbridge was a member of the First United Brethren in Christ church here and
of the Woman's Relief Corps.

Surviving are four sons, Delos in lake Odessa, Omer in Grand Rapids, Charles and
Allie in Lansing, one daughter Gayla, Mrs. George Reed in Grand Rapids, 12 grandchildren and
six great-grandchildren.

The funeral was held at the church Monday, the pastor the Rev. E. A. Shulls
officiating and Mrs. Bert Mourer and Homer Bartlett sang with Mrs. Bartlett accompanying. Burial was
in Lakeside cemetery.
