Ferba May Dunlap died, October 16, 1890, at her home in Ellsworth, from consumption and other diseases connected with it. She was the daughter of John May and was born April 9, 1830 in Kinnikinnick, Green county, Ohio, where she married Allen Dunlap September 12, 1852. She was familiarly known to everybody in Pada township and was honored by all. The Angel of Peace came and relieved her sufferings and she died with a smile on her lips. Her last words were "I am almost to the happy land." She was longing for the time to come when she might attend church, for she was a devout Christian. She died in the triumph of faith of enjoying the life that is beyond the grave and is now wearing the crown of her Saviour. The first to greet her as she entered through the pearly gates were two children who died long years before. She was the mother of ten children, eight of whom survive her, five daughters and three sons. The sympathy of the public is extended to the husband and the bereaved family. The funeral service was held at the Christian Church, conducted by Rev. Owens of Arrowsmith, and the body was laid to rest in the Frankenberg Cemetery.
