Kyser was born in Saginaw, Mich., Sept. 1, 1852. With her parents she moved to Berlin township, Ionia county, where she resided until her marriage with Daniel Misner, of Lowell, Nov. 28, 1869. To this union was born one son, Edward D. Misner, lately of California. After the death of her husband in 1879 she made her home with her parents until her marriage with Stephen A. Ware, of Boston township, Ionia county, which occurred Sept. 28, 1888. To this union was born one daughter, Jessie Audie Ware, who preceded her mother to the better land in her 17th year, Oct. 7, 1908 and for whom she has always mourned, her great consolation in her last illness was that she would soon be with Jessie. She peacefully fell asleep to awake in her heavenly home, Sept. 20, 1919, aged 67 years and 19 days. She leaves to mourn: her devoted husband, two stepsons, for whom she cared with a mother’s love, her son Edward and wife, who has proved a tender and loving daughter, being ever constant and devoted attendant on her last illness, one grand son, Gerald Misner, and a loving granddaughter, Vertrice, who has been a ray of sunshine to brighten her last days, two brothers, Charles Kyser of Lowell, and Albert Kyser of Buffalo, N.Y., who mourns a loving and beloved sister, several nephews and nieces who will miss the kind words of Aunt Male, as she was familiarly called, also a large circle of life long friends and relatives who pay tribute to her kind and loving disposition, always thoughtful for the comfort and welfare of others. Their consolation: what is their loss is her gain. The funeral service was held from the home Monday afternoon, Sept. 22, Rev. Lash, of Lowell, officiating. She was laid to rest in the South Boston cemetery by the side of her daughter Jessie. The singer and songs were her request, the same as at her daughter’s funeral 11 years ago, Miss Anna Maynard, accompanied by Mr. Stocking at the piano. The pall bearers were also the same, six sons of her brother, Charles Kyser. Friends and relatives attended the funeral from Lansing, Hastings, Ionia, Clarksville, Lowell and Chicago.
