Ann S. Harsh Obituary
Ann S. Harsh was born in Preston County, West Virginia, august 2, 1830, and departed from this life April 16, 1919, aged eighty eight years, eight months and sixteen days. She was the daughter of John and Polly Rundolph and was one of a family of seven children. She was united in marriage to George I Harsh in 1848. To this union were born ten children, forty eight grandchildren, thirty two great great grandchild. She with her family came to Michigan in 1864, and has since lived on the farm on which she resided at the time of her death, her husband and four children having preceded her to the life beyond. When she first came to this country it was but sparsely settled and she like many others pioneers of her day knew what it meant to endure the hardships subject to those who make their homes in a new country where roads are little more than Indian trails and where trees must be felled and land cleared, before the soil can be tilled. In this work she took an active part. A few years after coming to Michigan she was converted under the labours of Rev. B. Baldwin and united with the United Brethren Church of which she was a member at the time of her death. She leaves to mourn their loss one aged sister, Mrs. Lydia Stoup: six children -- Luther and Burton of Ogden, Michigan; John of Blissfield, Michigan; Jess of Merino, Colorado; Mrs. Sarah Wilt of Blissfield, Michigan; and Mrs Lydia Berk of Coleman, Michigan; besides a host of relatives and friends. We laid her away in Zion Cemetery, Tex Job; 18: 14, R,V. GILBERT
