At her home in Cass township on the 26 last, Mrs. Judith Brewer, wife of B.R. Brewer.  Her death was sudden and unexpected.  She leaves a husband and five children to mourn their irreparable loss.  

She has gone, but not forgotten.  
Dear companion, loving mother, fare the well.  
She loved and lost, why we call her lost?  
Because we miss her from our outward road
God's unseen angel o'er our pathway crost,
Looked on us all, and loving her the most,
Straightway relieved her from lifes weary load.

After Judith died, Benjamin Brewer remarried first to Nellie Conlin, then later to Ellen O'Rourke.13
