The Greenville Independent, Wednesday, February 11, 1903
Mary A. Hunter was born near Pontiac, Oakland County, Michigan February 2, 
1842, and died January 31, 1903, after an illness of only two days when the 
voice of Him she loved spake the welcome words, “Enter thou into the joy of 
the thy Lord.”

The funeral services were held at the Spencer Mill church February 2, 
conducted by the Rev. W. F. Kendrick, pastor of the M. E. church of 
Greenville, whose address was acknowledged by all as one of the finest ever 
given in the Spencer Mill church.  Interment in Spencer Mill cemetery.

At the age of four years she moved with her parents to the township of Keene, 
Ionia county, where she lived until grown to womanhood.  At the age of 14 she 
made a profession of religion and joined the Methodist church in her 
neighborhood.  January 1, 1866 she was married to John W. Westbrook of the 
same place who still survives her.  Three children were born to them, Charles 
F. of this place; Willie J., who died at the age of five months and was buried 
at Palo; and Annie M., now Mrs. R. S. Bigley of near Saranac.  

Mrs. Westbrook was a woman of the highest moral character and was loved and 
respected by all who ever knew her and will be greatly missed by her many 
relatives and large circle of friends both in this vicinity and also in other 
places where she has resided.  Her death will fall especially heavy on her 
husband who, with untiring love, watchful care and patience, shown through so 
many years of sickness and pain, has made her life extremely pleasant for one 
so frail.
