To this union nine children were born of whom eight survive and were all here to minister to her wants in her last sickness. They were Mrs. Anna Reed, Mrs. Sarah Smalley, Mrs. Emma Fredenburg, Mrs. Amanda Watts, Mrs. Rosa Richert, Newton, Henry and Perry Kinyon; also two sisters,-- Mrs. Samantha Smith and Mrs. Liddia Camp.

Leaving the above named to mourn the loss of a kind and beloved mother. In her girlhood she was baptized and united with the Episcopal church and died trusting in the Lord. Funeral services were held at the Advent church at Burr Oak, Monday afternoon, Aug. 30, 1908, at 2 o’clock, Rev. Van Buren officiating, and her remains were laid to rest in the Burr Oak cemetery.

A previous mother from us had gone,
A voice we loved is stilled;
A place is vacant in our home,
Which never can be filled.

God in his wisdom has recalled
The boon his love has given,
And though the body moulders here,
The soul is save in Heaven.
MRS. J. C. FREDENBURGH

Mrs. Emma Fredenburgh, Mrs. Anna Reed, Mrs. Amanda Watts, Mrs. Sarah Smalley, Mrs. Rosa Richert, Mr. Newton, Mr. Henry and Mr. Perry Kinyon.
