Cedar Springs Clipper - 17 May 1916
A Good Woman Gone

Minnie Florence DURFEY was born at Union City, Branch Co, MI 7 Feb 1859, and
departed for her better 
home 11 May 1916. She was united in Holy Matrimony to Cyrus Albert DURFEY in the
month of April 
1876 at Greenville, later moving to Cedar Springs, where they have since resided.

Six children were born to this union, four of whom survive, Mrs. Ethel ANNIS, of
Greenville; Mrs. Grace 
HOUGH, Wilbur, and Florence DURFEY of [this] village. 

The deceased leaves, besides her four children, a bereaved husband, three
grandchildren, and two 
sisters, Mrs. Esther CORNWELL and Mrs. Stella Mae BUSH. 

Mrs. DURFEY was a woman of splendid character and those who had the privilege of
knowing her feel 
they are better for her having lived. She had been ill for the past few years, but
displayed great 
Christian fortitude during her suffering. The husband and family have the sympathy
of the entire 
community, who mourn with them. 

(Obituary is followed by the words to a hymn or poem entitled, "One More in Heaven,"
and a card of 
thanks from "C.A. DURFEY and children".)
