The Naples Record 20 March 1875
On Saturday night, March 13, Mrs. Carrie McMichael daughter of James Pierce, and wife of George McMichael departed this life at the residence of her father where she had been removed in her last illness. Everything that kind parents and friends could do to make the pathway to the grave easy and pleasant was done, and at midnight when she felt that she must leave them, she called her husband, parents, aunts, and relatives present, to her side, bade them adieu, kissed them, and calmly sank to sleep in Him who had sustained her through the pains and trials of a long sickness Carrie was born here, Was 27 years old, and outside of a large circle of relatives was endeared to all the young people. Her genial good nature and kindness will be long be remembered. The funeral services were held from the house at 1 1-2 pm, Monday, and from the M. E. Church, at 2 where a large congregation assembled to mourn with the relatives. The services were very appropriate and impressive, Rev. M. B. Gelston leading in prayer, Rev. H . VanBenschoten discoursing from Revelations 22:4. and singing by the choir, a portion of which was composed of her own cousins, who being members, it was thought their love and grief could not be better expressed than by beautiful songs. She now lies as she requested — between her own mother and grandmother in Rose Ridge.

Caroline married George McMichael about 1870 in Naples, Ontario County, New York. George (son of Thomas McMichael and Laura Pixley, son of Thomas Dickinson and Biddy Barnard) was born on 10 Apr 1845 in Rush, Monroe County, New York; died on 26 Dec 1935 in Marshalltown, Marshall County, Iowa; was buried in Iowa Veterans Home Cemetery, Marshalltown, Marshall County, Iowa.
