The Obituary of Minnie Peabody

7 April 1876 - 3 January 1896

From the Ontario Messenger, 10 January 1896

Canadice - Minnie, oldest daughter of Manson and Julia Peabody died January 3rd. She had been afflicted with lung trouble nearly a year.

The funeral was held Sunday at the M. E. Church, of which she was a member Rev. I. B. Bristol, the pastor, officiated, preaching from I Peter, v4, of the “crown which fadeth not away,” which all who knew her life feel sure she has gone to receive.

She will be missed not only in the home circle, but by all her associates, as she scattered sunshine wherever she went, having a pleasant word and smile for all. She was 21 years old.

From the Livonia Gazette, 17 January 1896

Canadice - Again death has entered our community and one who was so lovely and beloved in life has gone to be with her blessed Redeemer.

Miss Minnie Peabody, not quite twenty-one years of age, a favorite with all her associates, is dead.

Death to such as she seems doubly sad, and yet the sorrowing father, mother, brothers and sisters, have cause to rejoice that Minnie lived thus long. Her example, worthy to be followed by all, her upright Christian character, which will live in the memory of her associates, pleading with them to meet her where death cannot come, and here those who were so dear on earth may be reunited, will help to assuage the grief of parting.

The funeral services were held at the church on Sunday, the Rev. Mr. Bristol officiating. A sorrowing community will sympathize with the bereaved family and pray that the ties broken here may be reunited in Heaven.
