2 months, and 14 days of age.
She was united in marriage to James Monroe Saul, of Hillsdale, Mich.,
Dec.
24, 1967. [this must be an error and probably should read 1867]
To this happy union were born 3 sons and 2 daughters, all of whom
survive
her.
Moved to their present home in Grant township, in 1874, where they
were
among the early pioneers and bringing the present farm out of the very forest
itself.
She was early converted and became a member of the U.B. church, later
she
united with the Methodist church at Claire.
Although kept often from church services there last year she ever
retained
her christian faith. She leaves to mourn their loss one brother, Jake
Hoyer,
of Pleasant Lake, Indiana, and one sister, Mrs. Lan Saul, also of Pleasant
Land, Indiana, both of whom visited her at her home this summer, three sons,
Garfield and Samuel, of Dover, and Frank of Greenwood, two daughters, Joie
