Waterford Post, September 19, 1918.

Margaret Elizabeth Van Valin, daughter of Jane and Oliver Van Valin, was
born at Spring Prairie, August 22, 1840. She passed away from her earthly
to her heavenly home September 10, 1918, aged 78 years. The greater part of
her life was lived at Caldwell, formerly Caldwell Prairie for the early
life her parents moved to this place. She was united in marriage to
Augustus Humbert January 16, 1859, who preceded her to the home beyond
August, 1885. There were born to them five sons, Paul, Canada; Francis, of
Spring Prairie; Leon and Clara, of Caldwell, and Frederic, who died in
infancy; and six grandsons. These with one sister, Mrs. Mary R. Humbert, of
Seattle, Washington and three brothers: Alfred, of Balaton, Minnesota;
Floriman, of West Allis; and Clement Van Valin, of Caldwell, are left to
mourn their loss. Mrs. Humbert was of a genial disposition and she leaves
many friends who deeply mourn her departure. She was a member of the
Methodist church for more than fifty years and a charter member of the
Ladies Aid Society connected with the church. A Christian not only in name
but in practice in time of sickness -- before trained nurses cared for the
sick -- she was ever ready to take her place with other neighbors in caring
for them. No call but received a ready response from our departed sister
who we believe has heard the “well done” of the Savior that she trusted.
