The funeral services of Mrs. J. P. Bicking were held at the M.E. Church on Monday, April 29. The services were conducted by the pastor, Rev. L. H. Stevens, assisted by Rev. Garrett of the Commerce U. P. Church, and the remains were laid to rest in the Walled Lake cemetery by the side of a daughter, who died, a number of years ago. Mrs. Bicking had been very sick with pneumonia, but was recovering from that when heart weakness, with other complications, caused her death. Beside her immediate family she leaves three sisters and one brother, her death being the first break in their family circle, aside from the death of their parents, and all are aged people. The brother and one sister only were able to attend the funeral, the others being in too feeble health.
Mary Ann Roberts was born in Bucks county, Pa., May 27, 1832. She came with her parents to Michigan in 1845, and settled near Farmington. It was while living there Sept. 11, 1851, that, she was united in marriage to James P. Bicking, who had come from Pennsylvania with her father’s family. She, with her husband and children, came to the farm where the family now reside in 1873. She was the mother of eight children, four of whom, with her aged husband, survive her: Sadie E., Mrs. Bertha Scrace of Milford, Mrs. Renna Law of Commerce, and Fred M., who, with the sister first named, lives at home. She left also three grandchildren, Clarance and Harlie Bicking of Walled Lake and Glen Scrace of Milford.
She was raised in the Quaker faith and always retained the simple speech of that denomination when in conversation with her own family. She was of a most unassuming nature and was little known outside of the home she loved so well and to which she was always closely confined by delicate health, but there she was a crowned queen in the hearts of husband and children to whom she was always a faithful companion and a tender mother, ever ready to guide with her wise counsel or help with her loving sympathy, and her going out from their midst has left a void that can never be filled. Truly her children rise up and call her blessed.
