The Lake Odessa Wave, October 30, 1903
The Lake Odessa Wave, October 30, 1903

In last week’s Wave, we briefly noticed the death of Mrs. Anna West, who died 
at Detroit, Oct. 21 and was buried at Lakeside cemetery in this village on the 
23rd.  Mrs. West for formerly a Miss Cover, and was born in Ashland County, 
Ohio, in 1846.  In February 1880 she was married at Kingston, Canada to Wm. S. 
West.  They made their home in Canada for about 18 years.  About six years ago 
they came to Lake Odessa, and resided here three years, making their home with 
Mrs. West’s mother, Mrs. Eliza Cover, who now lives at Dayton, Ohio.

Mr. and Mrs. West finally settled in Detroit from which city she passed 
to “that mysterious bourne from which no traveler e’er returns.”  In her last 
sickness she had the consolation of the Christian hope and died very 
peacefully.  Heart trouble was the immediate cause of her death.  

While in Lake Odessa, Mrs. West with her sister were attendants t the 
Congregational church.  The pastor of the Methodist church conducted a brief 
service at the grave.  Mr. Skentelbury, the former pastor, being out of town.  
The Wave extends it sympathy to the bereaved husband, the sorrowing mother, 
who is “Only waiting ‘till the shadows are a  little longer brown.”  And to 
the surviving brother and sister, George W. and Eliza Cover, who lives with 
their mother at Dayton.
