From the Montello Express, 06 February 1925

Mary Ann Denver was born in Massachusetts on December 23, 1831, and died at
her home in Buffalo, on January 25, 1925.

She spent her youth in the Eastern States and there was married to James
McLane. A few years after their marriage they moved to Marquette County,
Wisconsin, where they spent the remainder of their lives. To this union
were born six children, two dying in infancy, and Nellie who died at the
age of twenty-five, and the three surviving children; Mrs. Sam Querns, and
James and John, all living in Marquette County.

Mr. McLane died in 1873, leaving his wife in the care of four little
children. Her life has been swept by the winds of sorrow, suffering and
adversity, but her Christian faith has provided her with strength to meet
them, and she had looked forward wth joy to the final release from earthly
tribulation.

Mother, we cannot wish you back again;
We know you are happier there,
In the land of God's anointed,
Free from earthly pain and care.
But we have such pleasant memories,
Reaching back to childhood days,
When we followed where you led us,
'Til we reached life's highway.
Then we knew what you had suffered,
In those sufferings of your own,
And we're glad that you will reap reward,
At the foot of the Great White Throne.
