ALLEN, wife of the foreman of the clothes pin department of Aldrich & Brayman's factory, died at her home in Custer, Sunday, March 16th. Mr. and Mrs. ALLEN removed to Custer from Hart a little over a year ago and since that time have made many friends here. MR. ALLEN took her remains to Holland, Mich., her former home, for burial. She leaves one young child to feel the need of a mother's tender care. MR. ALLEN'S friends feel to sympathize with him deeply as this is his second bereavement since coming to Custer. MRS. ISABELLA McCULLOCH, - aged fifty-four years, wife of Mr. HUGH McCULLOCH, died at her home north of the village of Custer, Friday, March 14th, after an illness of about two weeks. The family removed to Custer about four years ago, from Ludington. Since her residence at Custer she has had a warm place in the hearts of the people, and her loss will be much felt. She was taken with a stroke of paralysis (as stated in the Record a few weeks ago) about two weeks before her death, and during her illness suffered a great deal. She scarcely realized until a short time before her death, the critical condition she was in. Mr. McCULLOCH took the remains to Grand Rapids, her home before coming to Ludington, where they will be interred in the city cemetery. Miss STELLA and her brother LEONARD have gone to Cadilac (sic). Miss McCULLOCH will stay with her sister, and LEONARD con- templates studying medicine with a physician of that place. Mr. McCULLOCH will remain in Custer until he disposes of his property. The force of the motto "What is a home without a mother," is now fully real- ized by the bereaved family. They have the deepest sympathy of the entire community. ===========================================================================
