Niles Republican II, Niles MI, Thursday 23 November 1871, page 3 - At Port Huron, Nov. 21st, 1871, of dropsy of the chest, CARRIE CHAPIN, wife of REV. THOMAS S. BRACKEN, and daughter of H. A. and R. CHAPIN, aged 31 years. The startling telegram, announcing the above sad intelligence, came suddenly to the many warm friends of Mrs. Bracken in this city where her childhood and youth had been spent, and where the memory of her true womanly virtues will long be treasured by those who now so deeply mourn her early death. Less than a year ago she went from us a happy bride, followed by the best wishes of all our people. Today, the stricken husband brings back her precious remains to her doubly bereaved parents, that loving hands may lay them tenderly to rest beside those of her sister, SARAH, whose ransomed spirit, we trust, has _?_, welcomed her to the abode of the blessed.
Niles Democrat, Niles MI, Saturday 25 November 1871, page 3 - In Port Huron, on Tuesday, November 21st, MRS. CARRIE E. BRACKEN, wife of REV. THOS. S. BRACKEN, and daughter of H. A. CHAPIN, ESQ., of this city, in the 31st year of her age. Her remains were brought to Niles, and interred in the cemetery on Thursday afternoon. None but those who have passed through the same trying ordeal can fully appreciate the feelings of those who are called upon to take the last farewell look at the idol of their hearts and the light and joy of their homes. She was indeed, the dearest object on earth, not only to her fond husband but to her parents who now mourn her death. Her death was a sad dispensation of Providence. But a little more than eleven months ago, we beheld her arrayed in her bridal robes, with health and happiness gleaming from every feature, receiving the congratulations of numerous friends. She was the happiest of brides. Alas, how soon has death turned joy into sorrow by taking from the fond embrace of a devoted husband his dearest object. Mrs. Bracken was a consistent member of the Presbyterian church, and a bright example to all who knew her. Her amiable and Christian qualities had endeared her to all with whom she became acquainted, and her untimely death has cast a gloom over the entire community. Death loves a shining mark, and the fairest and loveliest of earth are culled by his ruthless hands. The father, mother, husband and brother have the sympathy of the community in their sad bereavement.
