Notes
a. Note:   Obituary notice ---
  Mrs. Helen M. Krigger was born Oct. 20, 1840, at Courtland, New York, and entered upon her celestial journey August 15, 1910, aged 64 years, 9 months and 15 days. For about twenty years sister Kriger has been a real sufferer from a complication of diseases to which the flesh is subject. About five weeks ago she received injuries from a fall, resulting in a nervous collapse which hastened her death and eternal reward. Although a real sufferer, she has borne her affliction patiently, ever being willing to enter the Gethsemane experience with her Saviour. She was converted at the youthful age of seventeen, and the forty-eight remaining years of her life has been spent in prayer, praise and service. She first united with the Baptist church in Ashland, and continued her labors with them for about seven years. She then united with the U. B, church of Ashland, and remained a faithful member for about 10 years. Her church fellowship was then changed to the M. E. church of Ashland, and after having passed through the difficult problem of church-building which drew largely upon financial resources, her membership was transferred to the M. E. church of Kent City. In 1894 she removed with her family to the farm now owned and conducted by the son, Kelvin J. Since taking up her church relation with this church she has been a faithful, earnest, devoted, sincere and testifying christian, full of faith and hope. Her christian character was marked with the apostle's testimony "I have fought a
 good fight, I have kept the faith." She was married to John R. Kriger Feb. 26, 1863. For forty-seven years she has been true to the marriage vow. To this union God has given six children, four girls and two boys. Those in whose hearts she will continue to live, and in whose memories she will always be held by the cords of love are her husband, John R. Kriger; her children, Mrs. Lydia Brink, Miss Anna Kriger, Melvin J., of Kent City, Mrs. Emma Carpenter of Chicago, Ernest M. Kriger of Grand Rapids; it pleased God to take to himself one daughter when a child of 20 months; two brothers and one sister, Ansel Snow of Kent City, Frank Snow of Saginaw, Mrs. Martha Pressey of Rockford; fifteen grandchildren and three great grandchildren. She will be long remembered by the members of church fellowship, and a host of friends and neighbors. She was a real worker in, and a faithful member of tbe Ladies' Aid Society. With Dorcas of Joppa she was always glad to use the needle for those who were in need. She was also a member of the Woman's Bible Class in Sunday School . She has been a faithful, loving and devoted wife, mother and grandmother, always having the interests of her family upon her heart. She has always had the interests of the church here and elsewhere, upon her heart. After the first church of Kent City burned she was willing to do all and more than her part for the erection of the new brick church. At the time of the fire of April 22, 1907, when the news, the church is burning, reached her ears, she received a nervous shock from which she never fully recovered. Full of faith and trust she again gave liberally for the construction of the present church edifice, When health would permit, she has always been found in attendance upon the means of grace. Her one prayer, prompted by love, was for her famly, her church and for unsaved souls. But death is simply a benediction to her life. She was ready, and simply waiting to hear the Master's voice saying the familiar words: "These are they which have come up out of great tribulation and have washed their robes white in the blood of the lamb." Sister Kriger's life has not been without mistakes. "The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak." Too err is human. But the eye of faith has ever been fixed upon the atoning blood of Jesus Christ, having the assurance "that he ever liveth to make intercession for us." During the pastor's three years of ministry at Kent City, Casnovia and Lisbon, as pastor shepherd and overseer of the flock, this is the first member of the flock God has called to reward. Those present from away were Mr. and Mrs. Carpenter of Chicago, Mrs. Pressey of Rockford, Mr. and Mrs. Kriger of Ashland, Frank Snow of Saginaw, Ray, Roy and Kent Brink of Fremont, Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Kriger of Grand Rapids. Funeral services were held at the M. E. church in Kent City, Rev. F E. George officiating, and the remains laid away in ldlewild cemetery.
