On March 10th, 1852, she was united in
marriage to Elijah Tatman, at Maseow,
Ohio, from which place they moved to
Miami county, Indiana. In 1878 they
came to Michigan and settled on a
farm north of this city. In the year
1880 death laid his icy hand upon Mr.
Tatman, which was a severe blow to his
loving wife, and it has ever since been
a source of great sorrow to hor.
Eleven children were born to Mr.
and Mrs. Tatman, all of whom survive
her. She has been ailing for some time
with a complication of liver and heart
trouble, which at last became too deep
rooted for the skilled hand of the physician to remove, and in tho early morning, surrounded by her family and
many kind friends, she quietly passed
away, Mrs. Tatman's children, with
one exception, were present during her
last hours, and although doomed to
suffer tho loss of a kind and loving
husband, was spared the grief of parting with hor children, and when her
timo for departure had come, she was
found patiently waiting, as only those
who havo every hopo in a grand hereafter can wait.
The children who are called upon to
mourn tho loss of an ever loving mother are all well and favorably known in
this community, are Alonzo, Augustus,
Benjamin, James, Nelson, Mrs. Miser,
Mrs. Bates, Mrs. Allen, Elijah, Madison

handsome young lady when she moved
with her parents to Wisconsin, where a
terrible disease seized her which baffled
the skill of the best physicians, and
made her life one of extreme suffering,
which only the kind hands of a loving
mother could in any manner aleviate
to any extent, and although death is
unwelcome at all times, it seems it was
most welcome to her, as she passed
away as in quiet sleep. Although her
death is a sad blow to the agod mother,
she realizes that her daughter has
quitted a world of sorrow and suffering
for a home where rest is eferual.
The funeral occurred Thursday afternoon, from the family residence, ceremonies being conducted by Rev. L. L.
