Lowell Ledger, 25 Apr 1907

The funeral services of Mrs. Newell Raymond, who died at her home in Lowell 
last Wednesday night, were held at the house on Saturday at one-thirty p.m., 
conducted by Rev. A.P. Moore of Grand Rapids, he having been the officiating 
minister at her marriage and at the marriage of her son, and burial was made in 
Keene.

Mary E. Lamb only child of Daniel and Mary Lamb, was born in Eulora, Canada, 
Aug. 3, 1852.  At the age of ten years, her mother having been called to the 
better land, she came to Keene, Michigan, where she made her home with her 
uncle, William Rickert of this village, until her marriage Oct. 3, 1870?, to 
Newell Raymond of the same township.  The greater share of her married life has 
been spent on their farm, moving to Lowell Aug. 29, 1901.  Five children were 
given to this union, who with the husband and a host of friends are left to 
mourn the loss of a devoted wife and mother, Truman, on the old homestead in 
Keene, Anna, Elizabeth, Nina and Gladys who will comfort the father in the home.

She passed very peacefully to her rest at eight o’clock Wednesday evening, 
April 17, 1907, at the age of 54 years, 8 months, 15 days.  Although not a 
member of any church at the present time, she has been a devoted believer in 
Christ always having a strong will to do the right, taking Christ’s words as 
her guidance: “Inasmuch as ye have done it unto the least of these my brethren, 
ye have done it unto me.”
