Niles News in Brief: DEATH MRS. FREERER
Mrs. Mary Parker Freerer, 70, a pioneer resident of Niles died last evening at Pawating hospital where she was taken two weeks ago suffering with stroke of paralysis having been found soon after she was stricken at her home 21 Ferry street, the house in which she was born and where she had lived during her entire life time until she was stricken. When she was a young woman her father was accidentally drowned in the St. Joseph river near their home. Mrs. Freerer loved flowers and for many years the beauty and the variety of the flowers in her garden, so long as her health permitted her to attend to them has been a source of admiration to many, and she was generous in her distribution of them. The funeral services will be held tomorrow afternoon at 2:30 in the Rutherford Funeral Home. Burial will be made in Silver Brook cemetery.
