Obituary

 Mrs. Henry Coral passed away at this place last week at her comfortable home on Main street.  Gangrene was the immediate cause of her death, though she had declined steadily in health for the past year.  The funeral was held on Sunday at the M.E. church and was largely attended by friends and life-long acquaintances.  The officiating clergyman was Rev. Mason of Alma.
  Mrs. Coral was a genuine homemaker in any sense of the word, and to her husband, who has for the past three years remained constantly by her side, she was a steadfast bosom companion.
  Sarah A. Ferguson was born July 16, 1848, in Medina county, Ohio.  She was united in marriage to Mr. Henry Coral April 21, 1866.  Mr. and Mrs. Coral moved to Gratiot county February 12, 1882, where they have continuously resided ever since.  At the age of 16 she united with the Presbyterian church, of which she was an active member.  By this union five children were born, one having died in infancy.  Mrs. Coral leaves to mourn their loss a loving husband and three children.
