 Pioneer Settler Called By Death
Mrs. John Blatt, Sr. Passes Away at Her Home in Flynn Township on Friday
Last

Another of the old settlers of Sanilac county has passed over the Great
Divide.  Mrs. John Blatt, Sr., for nearly 60 years a resident of this
community, passed away at her home in Flynn township, on Friday, April 22,
1921.
Rosana Waber was born in Switzerland 81 years ago.  When a small girl she
came with her parents to Port Burwell, Ont., where she grew to womanhood
and was married to John Blatt nearly sixty years ago.  A few years after
their marriage they located in Elk township, near Peck, and lived here
continuously until her death of her husband almost nine years ago, since
which she has lived with her daughter, Mrs. James McDermott, at whose home
she passed away.  The deceased lady was a member of the Prysbeterian
church.  Being of kindly disposition, many acts of charity to the pioneer
and others with whom she came in contact are generously remembered.  She
was the mother of six children, three sons and three daughters, all of whom
survive her as follows; John, of Elk, Christopher, of Flynn, Samuel, of
Peck; Mrs. John Murray and Mrs. John Hayward, of Elk, and Mrs. James
McDermott, of Flynn.
The funeral was held Monday from the Omard M.E. church, Rev. Hart, of
Bladwin officiating and interment was made alongside her husband in Omard
cemetery.
