Obituary from the Fri., Mar. 26, 1897 edition of the Ravenna News and courtesy Dave Ludwig  Mrs. Ellen Higgins, one of the old settlers of  Cedar township, passed away, March 20th, at the age of 68 years.   Mrs. Higgins was a native of Eng- land,  coming to this  country in her early  youth,  and  to  this  state  in 1873. The spring of '73 she moved on to the  place where  she  died.   Mrs. Higgins was of a hopeful,  happy dis- position,  and a help to the many dis- pondent ones of the early days.  She leaves many friends and a family to mourn her departure. She was carried to her grave in the storm of the 21st, by a few faithful friends.   The inter- ment was in the cemetery at Majors. "Weep not that her trial is over, Weep not that her race is run: God grant we may rest as calmly, When our work, like hers, is done: 'Till then we would yield with Gladness, our treasure to Him to keep: And rejoice in the sweet assurance, He giveth His loved ones sleep."
