During the past week five of the
aged residents of this place and vicinity
have been summoned to their final rest.
One by one they leave our midst and
but a fe>f more years will mark the departure of all those who participated
in the pioneer history of old Washtenaw.
The following brief sketches of the
lives of the departed ones have been furnished in part by relatives or Mends:
MRS. MARCIA BURROUGHS.
Mrs. Marcia Burroughs passed away
from among us on tne morning of Sat-
Her maiden name
was Marcia Chamberlain and she was
born at Honeoye Falls, N. Y., June 27,
1S22. At the age of seventeen she was
married to Martin Burroughs. They
lived in the state of New York for
some years, coming from there to Michigan some 36 years ago and finally making their permanent home in Saline.
Her husband was called first to go and
through the years of her widowhood
and illness from cancer, her cheerfulness and patience were remarkable, always thinking of others first, even in
the times of her greatest suffering.
Three daughters survive her, Mrs.
Webb, of Newark, N. J.; Mrs. Prank
Eaton, of Coldwater, Mich., and Miss
Ida Burroughs, teacher in our Union
school. Her funeral was held at the
house Monday afternoon and she was
laid by the side of her husband in Oak-
wood cemetery.
MRS. C. ANN ELIZA CULVER,
wife of Orrin Culver, died at the resi-
sister in London, Mich.,
Dec. 20,1S90, aged 60 years. Mrs. Culver died after a brief illness, leaving
this world in that peace of mind that
always attends the death of one who
has lived a christian life. She was a
woman distinguished for her kindness,
ever lending a helping hand and giviug
her sympathy to those around her.
She was one of the pioneer residents of
Saline and had formed a large and extended acquaintance,who feel they have
lost a friend they highly prized.   Her
