Eliza Crosby

DEATH   OF  MRS.  CROSBY.

A Resident of Manistee for Thirty-four Years.

     Mrs. William Crosby died Tuesday morning at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Nels Bertelson, who resides near Onekama.  She had attained the advanced age of seventy-four years, and her death is attributable more to her age and consequent debility than to any specific disease.  She was the mother of Doctor Crosby, formerly of Ludington, but now practicing in Sheboygan, and of Mrs. Eugene Wexstaff, Mrs. Dell Chapin of Bear Lake, and Mrs. Nels Bertelson.  Her husband survives her.

     William Crosby and wife are among the oldest residents of this section.  They came here thirty-four years ago.  Mrs. Crosby had the love and esteem of all who knew her.

     The funeral will be held tomorrow morning at half past ten at the farm of Nels Bertelson, and interment will be at the Onekama cemetery.  Rev. A.T. Ferguson of the First street Methodist church will officiate.

Typed copy obtained from the Obituary File at the Windsor Public Library.   Editors note - I believe there is a typographical error in the November 18, 1810 birthdate.  I believe that the typist meant to type 1819 and not 1810.  The record of his death as entered in St. Joseph's River Canard register list his age as 84 years.

I had wondered who was this Samuel Langlois buried in the Onisome Langlois family plot.  It turns out he was the brother of Onisome's wife, Rosalie M.
