From the Adams County Press, Saturday January 26, 1884, Page 5 Columns 2 &
3

Column 2 'Monroe Items' --Again has death entered our midst. Those who but
one short year ago followed to the silent tomb a kind father, are now
called to mourn the loss of a dear mother. Electa Ann GLEASON, consort of
Ransom GLEASON, deceased, passed away January 15, 1884, after an illness of
one short hour. The funeral services, held at Spring Creek School House,
were largely attended. A fervent prayer was offered by Rev. Mr. Fry, of
Wautoma, after which an impressive sermon was preached by Father Yocum,
from Revelations, 7th chapter, 14th verse. She has gone no doubt to join
other blessed spirits around the throne.

Column 3--DIED--GLEASON--In Spring Creek, Adams county, on the 15th of
January, 1884, Mrs. Electa Ann GLEASON, widow of the late Ransom GLEASON.
They were pioneers of the county, and were members of the first Methodist
church on Strongs Prairie. Her death was sudden, for which she was
prepared.
