Mrs. C.H, Friend buried Thursday- died Monday at 85 at Home of Mr. and Mrs. A.F. Edson at Sauk Rapids.
Mrs. C.H.Friend died at the residence of her daughter, Mrs. A.F. Edson at Sauk Rapids, Monday, May 12. She had been failing steadily since the first of the year.
Mary J. Standish was born at Pendelton, N.Y. August 31, 1844, and at the time of her death was nearly 86 years of age. When eight years old, she, with her parents, moved by canal and lake routes to Chicago, and four years later her parents moved overland to Bloomington, Minn., where she grew to womanhood and experienced the life of a pioneer up to and including the Civil War. On September 17, 1865, she was married to C.H. Friend, who had just been mustered out of service by the Indian missionary, Gideon H. Pond at Bloomington, (H. B. thinks this is MN, not IL as someone else noted)
Mr. and Mrs. Friend lived in Minneapolis several years, when Mrs. Friend's health caused them to move to Illinois in 1871 where the family lived until 1889 when they moved to Litchfield where they celebrated their golden wedding in 1915.
Mr. Friend passed away June 7, 1921, and Mrs. Friend made her home with her daughter, Mrs. Edson, who moved to St. Cloud in 1926.
Mrs. Friend is survived by three children, Mrs. A.F. Edson, Sauk Rapids; Mrs. G.F. Wheeler, Litchfield, and Judson Friend, Little Falls. She was an excellent woman and a kind neighbor and friend.
Funeral services were held Thursday afternoon, from home of Mr. and Mrs. G. R. Wheeler. Interment was in Ripley cemetery. Rev. J. M. Burns officiated. The services at the grave were in charge of the Eastern Star Lodge.
Those from a distance who attended the funeral of Mrs. Chas. H. Friend were Mr. and Mrs. Judson Friend of Little Falls, Mr. and Mrs. A.F. Edson of Sauk Rapids, Mrs. Hal Standish and Lillian of Bloomington, Miss Deborah Carroll of Minneapolis, Will Prestige and family, Mrs. Paul Prestige and son and Mr. and Mrs. Howard Crawford of Montrose.
