In Memoriam

On Monday afternoon, Sept. 22, the funeral of Harriet N. Depue, wife of the late David Depue, was held from the home of her son, Henry Depue, of Pittsfield. Relatives and friends then paid their last tribute of respect and affection to one who at the age of almost eighty-four, had gone to join those who in life had been nearest and dearest to her. For the past few months Mrs. Depue had been confined to her room, and the last weeks of her life were a gradual fading away. She patiently bore the necessary infirmities of age though the fortitude of her strong Christian faith. Her death removed the oldest living member of the Ann Arbor Presbyterian church.

Mrs. Depue had lived in Pittsfield upwards of sixty years, having come to Michigan in the early 30s from Ontario county, N.Y. In 1843 she was married to David Depue, who died in 1889, one of the oldest and most respected residents of Washtenaw county. She was the mother of the late Clemmy L. Hadsitz, of Detroit, and of Henry Depue, of Pittsfield.
