Mrs. Mary Ann Daw, living on the road to LeMars in this county, died
November 28th, and her funeral was attended by a large circle of mourning
friends. Deceased was born in England. She leaves a husband and four
children. ~FAMILY NOTE: This is very likely the first Mrs. Ambrose Daw.
She gave birth to their last child on 17 Nov 1877.
MARRIED.
HEEMSTRA—FISHER: At the residence of the groom’s parents, Mr. John Heemstra
to Miss Maggie Fisher, by the Rev. Mr. Bolks, on last Friday.
The above chronicles the marriage of a very worthy young farmer to a very
worthy young lady, and we hope success, prosperity, and happiness to attend
them. After the ceremony friends congratulated the couple and in the evening
about 30 couples gathered together and helped to pass the evening in
hilarity and fun making.
