Notes:

Sept. 29, 1881 Ionia Sentinel

Odessa-This Monday morning Miss Edith Smith, living half a mile south of the Center, was burned in a frightful manner. It seems some meat had been left in the oven over night, and not knowing or thinking of it, she was getting breakfast with the oven shut up. Smelling something, she opened the door, and the flames burst out, striking her so as to burn all the upper portion of her dress entirely off. Her arms, hands, face and hair also suffered severely. She had been away all the season at work and had just came home on account of the illness of her mother. (Courtesy of John R. Waite jrwgen@mvcc.com) LaVonne Bennett notes this might have been another Edith Smith, as she has in her files an Edith Smith Ousterhout born 1861)

LaVonne Bennett found both this snippet of news in the Lake Odessa Wave newspaper:

March 6, 1930 - Woodland - Mrs. William Snyder of Blanchard is helping care for her brother, Frank Smith, who is ill. (Blanchard is in Isabella County. According to census records, Edith Smith and her husband William Snyder lived in Rolland Township, Isabella County, for many years).

"Morris M. Smith, Carpenter, b ca 1835 in NY, resided Odessa, d 12-9-1880, age 44 yrs, 11 mo, 28 days, of consumption, fa. unnamed, mo. Marrian, spouse Cnitha O., daughter Gertrude A. b 11-27-1872." (Courtesy LaVonne Bennett).

Morris married Cynthia F. Carleton about 1862 in New York. Cynthia was born on 23 Dec 1843 in Piscataquis County, Maine; died on 6 Jun 1918 in Woodland, Barry County, Michigan; was buried in Lakeside Cemetery, Lake Odessa, Ionia County, Michigan. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

LaVonne Bennett, in April 2000, emailed:

I also found his widow's 2nd marriage: Liber D, page 1; Cynthia F. Smith, 37, of Odessa, bpl ME, on 10-8-1882 at Orange, Ionia Co, MI, marr Cornelius Center, 57, b Orleans Co, NY, farmer. Witnesses were Peter J. and Mary Fellows, both of Odessa.

It seems Cynthia's new surname should be spelled Senters, according to Lakeside cem records. There's a Cynthia F. Senters who d age 74 6-10-1918 (from the great 1918 influenza epidemic?). She d in Woodland, so there's another Barry Co record to find.
