(From Cumber Correspondent)
Mrs. M. Hawksworth, one of the earliest settlers in the township of Austin township, passed peacefully to her reward Friday morning. She has been failing for some time and her death was not wholly unexpected.
Sarah Meredith was born Sept. 17, 1840, in Canada. She was married to Mathew Hawksworth, who died eleven years ago. To this union were born five children, two sons and one daughter of this place and Amanda of Lupton. Mich., and Lizzie of Pontiac, Mich. For 56 years she has been a resident here, being one of the oldest pioneers of this place. She departed this life at the age of 77 years, seven months and 19 days. She leaves to mourn her loss beside her five children, five brothers and 17 grandchildren, 12 of whom were present at her funeral.
She was a kind and loving mother and grandmother, always thinking of others before herself. She will also be greatly missed by many friends and neighbors. The funeral service was conducted by Rev. Card, pastor of the M. E. church, on Sunday and her remains laid to rest beside her husband in Mount Pleasant cemetery.
