OBITUARY: ARMINDA MAY MAINS

Died at her home in Ann Arbor of pneumonia December 27, 1905, Arminda May,
wife of Orson W. Mains and daughter of Rev. S. A. and Mary McGee. She was
born in the township of Saranac, Michigan, March 13, 1873,

Minnie was clearly converted to God when six years old and soon after joined
the F. M. Church and sought to be true to its principals the remainder
of her life.

She was ever thoughtful of the needs and sufferings of others and brought
joy and gladness to many hearts and homes by her means and prayers.

She attended the Vermontville high school and from there went to Spring
Arbor Seminary where she graduated June 11, 1895. She was a kind wife and
loving mother, and leaves a husband and three children. DeWitt, nine years,
Frances, seven years, Victor, seventeen months, a father, mother, two sisters
and many friends to mourn their loss.

The remains were taken to Spring Arbor on Saturday December 30, where the
funeral services were conducted by Rev. H. D. F. Ollin and her remains
were laid to rest in the beautiful cemetery to await the "resurrection
morn".

"With friends on earth we meet in gladness

while swift the moments fly
Yet ever comes the thought of sadness,

That we must say "good-by."
How joyful is the hope that lingers,

When loved ones cross death's sea,
That we, when all earth's toils are ended,

With thee shall ever by.
We'll never say good-by in heaven,

We'll never say good-by, (good-by,)
For in that land of joy and song,

We'll never say good-by."
