 "Wife of Lester Austin...died at her residence in
Carson City, MI, Saturday morning Sept. 15, 1883, Mrs. Matilda R. Austin, aged
49 years, wife of Lester Austin.
The deceased was born in New York City, July 2, 1834, was married Nov. 2,
1850 to Lester Austin. She had been a resident of Carson City and vicinity for
the past twenty one years. She was a devoted mother of nine children, six of
whom are still living. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. P.K.
Shutter at the M. E. Church on Sunday. The remains were taken to Hubbardston
for interment.
In her brief illness of six days she was a great sufferer, but was ever
hopeful. Everything the affection of medical skill could provide proved
unavailing. Her hour had come. She was a faithful wife and a self-sacrificing
and loving mother, a trusted friend and a useful member of society. Sister
Austin was for many years a worthy member of the M.E. Church and was known as
an earnest worker in the Sabbath school and temperance cause. One who found
her own happiness in doing good to others and may it be said of her, as with
Mary of Bethany, "She hath done what she could".
The sympathy of a large circle of friends is extended to the husband and
the family in their sorrow and bereavement."
