SHEARS Marinda Elizabeth Obituary 1904
The Otsego Union; Otsego, Allegan Co., MI; Vol 30, No 10; Thursday 22 Sep 1904; Page 1, Col 2
SUFFERING CEASED
Mrs. M. D. Shears died at her home in this township at 3:00 o'clock Saturday afternoon after a long illness.
Six years ago she suffered a stroke of paralysis, and about fifteen months ago she fell and broke her hip, since which time she has been helpless. Two weeks ago she suffered another stroke of paralysis, and gradually failed from that time.
She was born in Ashtabula county, Ohio, June 15th, 1847. In 1862 she married to M. D. Shears at that place. They came to Otsego in 1865 and have since lived here with the exception of nine years spent in Grand Rapids.
Seven children were born to them, all of whom survive; Oscar of Kalamazoo, Sherman, Bert, Arthur and Jay of this place, Barney of Pennsylvania, and Mrs. Lydia Ludtke of Roberts, Wis.
The funeral was held from the house at two o'clock Tuesday afternoon, conducted by Rev. H. D. Skinner.
The six sons of Mrs. Shears acted as bears.
Those who attended the funeral from away were Barney Shears of Pennsylvania, Oscar Shears and wife of Kalamazoo, Mrs. Lydia Ludtke of Wisconsin, John Hammon of Elkhart, Ind., Mrs. James Hammon and Mrs. Chas Hammon of Bloomingdale.
