OBITUARIES MAKE INTERESTING READING,

I did research on the following woman.  I like the way the 
obituary portraits her personality.  Today's obituaries 
just give facts.  See what you think. The following is only 
a portion of an obituary found in the ADRIAN DAILY TELEGRAM 
on September 22, 1923

Edna May Pratt, born in Sand Creek to Samuel and Jamima 
Bittenger.  She died in her home in Madison, September 18, 
1923.  She spent her early life in Sand Creek and attended 
school in Adrian, graduating in 1902.  On March 30, 1903, 
she married Milford Schomp, who died in 1914.  February 11, 
1919, she married Frank Pratt.  She was a kind neighbor, 
ever ready to help those deemed worthy of her love and 
esteem.  A devoted wife, a loving and affectionate mother, 
and those who knew her inner life loved her most.  Mrs. 
Pratt leaves her husband, Frank Pratt, two daughters, 
Dorothy Lolita and Ella Mary, one brother, C.R. Bittenger,
