Source: Waldron Recorder 23 March, 1900 Elizabeth Sprague Hills was born in Lysander, New York July 26, 1851 and died in Wright Township Michigan March 16, 1900. Aged 48 years, 8 months, 10 days. She was united in marriage with Luke Hills July 4, 1871. She was a devoted wife and loving mother. She was converted to Christ upon her sick bed and died a true Christian. She longed for the end to come and often said "I am only waiting to go home" She leaves a husband, four sons, two daughters, and many friends to mourn; but although our hearts are heavy with sorrow, we feel that our loss is her eternal gain. Funeral services were held in the Baptist Church at Lickley's Corners, conducted by Rev. Elmer Leisenring, text James 4;14, and the body laid to rest in Lickley's Cemetery there to await the resurrection of the just. Cards of Thanks We desire to thank our friends and neighbors for their kindness during the sickness and burial of our wife and mother, also the choir that made such sweet music and the minister that spoke such words of comfort Luke Hills and children (followed by a long sad poem) Source: Waldron Recorder 23 March, 1900 Waldron and vicinity The people of this vicinity are wading first in mud, then water.
