ANNIE DANFORTH Manitowoc Tribune December 17, 1874, Vol. 21 No. 35, Page 5 Column 6 Under Interesting Items from Tribune Correspondents. Meeme. We are called upon to chronicle the sad news of the death of Mrs. Annie Danforth, wife of Wm. Danforth, after patient suffering for three years of consumption. She breathed her last on the morning of the 10th inst. About a year ago she was partially deprived of speech, conversing only in a whisper. Her sickness baffled the skill of many physicians both at home and abroad. Everything was done by her husband for her relief, but to no avail. God saw fit to call one of his children home. She lived an exemplary Christian life, and was a dutiful wife, kind mother, and esteemed and loved by all who knew her. All those intimately acquainted with her feel that they have lost a true friend who cannot be replaced in this community. The funeral services were performed on the 12th inst. by Rev. Mr. Siers, of Plymouth. The text was chosen from Revelations, 14th chap. 13th verse: "Blessed are the dead that die in the Lord." His discourse impressed every one present of the necessity of being prepared to meet death. A large number of sympathizing friends were present, forming a procession seldom seen in this community. She leaves a husband and 3 children to more her loss. Mr. Danforth and family have the heartfelt sympathy of the entire community.
