Clare Pioneer Lady Laid at Rest in Cherry Grove
Johanna Mack, daughter of Thomas and Lucinda Hutchinson, was born in Port Hope, Ont., December 9th, 1857, and passed away March 27th, 1946, aged eighty-eight years, three months and nineteen days.
Mrs. Mack came to Michigan when a small child and with her family lived near Amadore, later coming to Clare, where she has lived about fifty-five years.
In 1894 she was united in marriage to Andrew E. Mack, who passed away in 1927. She has always been interested in the civic affairs of Clare and also, until her health failed, was active in the work of the church and Sunday School.
She leaves to mourn their loss, her brother, Edward, eight nephews and five nieces, and a host of friends.
Funeral services were held from the Thurston Funeral Home at 2:00 o'clock Saturday afternoon, with Rev. Moore of Mt. Pleasant officiating, and she was laid at rest in Cherry Grove cemetery.
Those from a distance to attend the funeral were her nephews, Mr. and Mrs. Norman Allen, Frank Allen of Pontiac, Mr. and Mrs. DeNyke, of Detroit, and Neal Vandewarker, of Marion. The many beautiful floral tributes were mute evidence of the high esteem in which she was held by her friends and family.
