Nina Mae Hall
Zirn
"Nina Mae Hall Zirn, eldest daughter of Frank and Alice Hall, was
born May 2, 1898.
After completing this work of the district school, she attended
Plainwell High School, graduated with the class of 1916. In June,
1917, she untied with the Baptist society of Plainwell of which she
was a member at the time of her death. June 14, 1919, she was united
in marriage to Douglas Zirn of Jackson, at which place a home was
established and she became queen. Mrs. Zirn was quiet and gentle and
gave herself with exceptional devotion to the interests of her new
home. Those near to her know with what joy and pride, she anticipated
the coming of her babe.
Feb. 25th, she was stricken with what developed into meningitis and
caused her death.
On Feb. 29, she gave birth to a baby boy, which lived only a few
hours. All efforts to save the beautiful young mother were of no
avail and at noon, March 3, her spirit passed on with that of her
babe.
A broken hearted family, the devoted husband, father and mother, two
brothers and one sister, beside other relatives and a host of
friends mourn the untimely death of the young wife and mother.
The funeral, in charge of Rev. J. E. Littell of Plainwell, and Rev.
H. W. Jerrett of Coldwater, was held from the parental home on Gun
Plain, Mar. 6, 1920. Rev. Jerrett's most fitting talk was based upon
the text, 'Her sun went down while it was yet day.' With her babe in
her arms she was laid to rest in Hillside Cemetery, Plainwell.
Mr. and Mrs. Grover Ferree, Frank Zirn of Jackson, Ernest Ferguson
of Coldwater, brothers and sisters of the bereaved husband, Miss
Mary Hall, Youngstown, Ohio, Miss M. Jessie Hall, Menominee, Dr. W.
A. Studley, Grand Rapids, and Mrs. Ernest Wagner, Battle Creek
attended the funeral."
Alice Esther
Hall
"Alice Esther Hall, youngest child of Mr. and Mrs. F. W. Hall,
passed away Sunday evening, Nov. 25, 1923, having her 15th birthday
June 2nd of this year.
Alice was a striking example of what cheer and hope can do and she
will always be an encouragement to those who knew her. She possessed
an unusually keen, bright spirit in an all too frail body.
In spite of her handicap, she was ambitious, attending school all
her strength would allow, endeavoring to take part in all exercise
befitting childhood and young womanhood. Then came the time to which
the Christian faith points, where the tired body rests and the
spirit is no longer bound by physical limitations.
Alice was a member of the Baptist Sunday school and church at
Plainwell.
A sister, Mrs. Nina Zirn, passed on March 1920.
Besides her father and mother, she leaves two brothers, James and
Lawrence Hall, to mourn their loss besides many relatives and
friends who will miss the glad smile of welcome. The service was
conducted by Rev. Judson Macintosh who referred to her brief life
among 'as a a flower of the field.' For the flowers in deathless
bloom the Savior gives us, not beyond the tomb, but here and now on
earth some glimpse of joys which await us through the gates of
Heaven.
Alice was born to beautify and cast a fragrance of a handicapped
life to make all who knew her a little more unselfish and all a
little more like the Master to whom she has pledged her faith.
The funeral was held from the home Nov. 28, 1923, and burial was at
Hillside cemetery, Plainwell.
Those from away who attended the funeral were: Mr. and Mrs. James
Hall, Laporte, Ind., MR. and Mrs. Douglas Zirn of Jackson, Miss M.
Jessie Hall of Menominee, Mrs. Ada Miller, Mr. and Mrs. Wayne
Parmelee and sons of Hopkins, Mrs. Ernest Wagner, Battle Creek, Mr.
and Mrs. Harvey Burchett, Mr. and Mrs. Raymond and little son, Mrs.
Fannie Wheeler of Kalamazoo."

Cornwell Cagwin

E. Cornwell and was born on November 18, 1859 on the old Levi
Vaughan farm in the town of Ashford. She was married to Charles J. Cagwin by the last Rev. J. M. Field at Machias on the 28th day of
March , 1883. To them were born three sons, Bernard A. L. Cagwin, C.
J. Cagwin, Jr. and Cecil C. Cagwin. In August, 1904, she gave her
heart to God and earnestly served him the remainder of her life. She
joined the Elton Baptist Church and was very attentive as long as
her health would permit and then she still continued praying for her
friends. Her kindness and readiness to help the time of need will be
remembered by all for perhaps her most striking characteristic was
helpfulness. Continually she was trying to smooth the way for
others. But much as others will miss her, her family will miss her
more. We can not understand why she would have been taken from us. We will never forget her life so full of kindness and love. She
passed all of her forty years of married life on the same farm. Her
health had steadily failing for eight years or more until on Tuesday
afternoon, Dec. 19, 1922, at two o'clock her spirit went to be with
the God she loved. She is survived by her husband, three sons, nine
grandchildren, two sisters, Mrs. Melville Farrar of Machias, and
Mrs. J. P. Wright, of Sinclairville and four brothers, David M.
Cornwell of Olean, Javan S. Cornwell of Lime Lake, Fred Cornwell of
Sandusky and C. A. Cornwell of Buffalo. The funeral services were
held from the Baptist church at Elton on Friday, Dec. 22, 1922, Rev.
J. W. Norris officiating as requested by her. It was also by her
request that her three sons and youngest brother acted as bearers.
Burial in the family lot in Delevan."
