ELIZABETH BRANCH
Elizabeth Grandy was born in Milford, Defiance county, Ohio, in 1852. Her childhood days were spent there mostly among strangers, as her parents died when she was a child.
At the age of 18, she came to Hartford. In 1873 she was married to Ira Branch, and to this union nine children were born, of which six survive her.
The most of her married life has been spent in and about Hartford, with the exception of one year spent in Ozark, Arkansas. She has been a member of the United Brethren church many years, and all who knew her could but say, she was a kind and loving neighbor and mother, always sacrificing for others comforts and pleasures, never once considering her own inconveniences. And one thing best of all she loved was babys and children. "She never found them a trouble, or in the way." "Life to her with all its hardships and worry and trouble, was a Grand Gift."
She departed this life, March 16, 1915, after three days of illness.
It was a great shock to her family, neighbors and friends. The funeral was held Thursday afternoon, 2 o'clock at U. B. church, Rev. Bennett officiating.
She leaves a husband, two sons, four daughters, eleven grandchildren, and one sister, one niece and one nephew to mourn her loss.
