A Difficult Operation

From The Saginaw Daily Enterprise, January 15,1869

A very difficult as well as dangerous surgicaloperation was performed last Wednesday atSaginaw City. An ovarian fibrous tumor wasremoved from the person of MRS. GUORDONCORNING, weighing, with the liquid, 32pounds. The operation was performed by Dr.Jerome of Saginaw City, assisted by Dr. Bliss,Dr. Lathrop, of this city, and Drs. Topper and


Thomas, of Bay City. The patient is doing aswell, or better than could be expected, under thecircumstances. She was under the influence ofether during the operation, as was neitherconscious of pain or what had been done until theoperation was concluded.

OBITUARY - MRS. IDA GROUT CORNING,wife of Guordon Corning, and daughter of Rev.Elijah K. Grout, of Leslie, in this state, died attheir residence in Saginaw City, January 17,1869, 28 years 8 months and 4 days.

The deceased had long been the subject of asevere and painful illness, culminating in thenecessity for a very difficult and dangeroussurgical operation, the eventualities of which,after mature consideration, she decided to acceptas the only medium of restoration to the comfortsof life, family and friends.

From the resolution thus adopted, she neverfaltered for a single moment but waited withanxious solicitude the time when her physiciansshould deem her general health sufficientlyrestored to afford the best prospect of recoveryfrom the great change to which her bodily organswould necessarily be subjected.

When advised, on the morning of the 15th inst,of the purpose to perform the operation that day,she entered upon the preparation with a heroismwhich could only be inspired by an unwaveringtrust in the divine protection of Him who hadredeemed and saved her. The surgeons entrustedwith her care, during a state of totalobliviousness, finished their work with acompleteness, which prompted much hope offinal restoration, in which, on her return toconsciousness, she largely participated; nor wasthis hope lessened during the first threesupervening days of comparative comfort. During the night of the fourth day, severeinflammatory symptoms were manifest, with sohigh grade of fever and pain as to deprive her ofreason for a number of hours, and until near 4o’clock in the morning; after which she slept, andawoke with a modified suffering though with

manifest depression of that degree of vital forcewhich had previously sustained the hopes of nearfriends.

At about eleven o’clock in the forenoon, hermind awoke to a clear sense of approachingdeath. The fruits of her eleven years of religiousexperience clustered around, and vitalized thetwo or three remaining hours of her natural life. Feeble in body, yet strong in the faith which robsdeath of its sting, and gives to its possessor anundying assurance of a better life. Hercountenance shone with unwonted brilliancy. She spoke to, and of her Saviour in filial accents;and to her friends, words of kindly admonition,to so live to see her again.

Thus, she died, if death be fitting phrase forchange like hers. “Twas not the prayers ofanxious friends nor parents’ bitter tears, theruthless hand could stay. The chaplet whichfancy had entwined in loving hearts around heryouthful brow, was loosed, which und) everyearthly tie. She died-but not as others sometimesseen to die.

“But died, as sets the morning star, which goesnot down behind the darkened mist, nor hidesobscure among the tempests of the sky; but meltsaway into the light of heaven.”

Saginaw City, January 23, 1869

Saginaw Daily Enterprise, January 27, 1869

From the obituary index on The Public Librariesof Saginaw’s website, there was no reference tothis obituary. From the cemetery search in BradyHill, Forest Lawn, and Oakwood Cemetery, therewas no record of her burial. There is the Corningfamily mausoleum in Brady Hill, section 3 whereGordon Corning is buried, along with his secondwife, Lucy Corning.

Note: The article is reprinted as was written.


Also buried here are family members, Ann E.Corning and Timothy B. Corning.

Recently reported in a local Saginaw newspaper,a man approached Fred Bauer at the downtownSaginaw’s Farmer’s Market regarding a missingname of the Korean War Monument located inVeteran’s Park. After researching andconfirming that the veteran was indeed missing,Frank Zwingman Jr. was then added to themonument. He was a US Navy veteran and waskilled in a collision of a destroyer and an aircraftcarrier. If you know of any missing veteransfrom any of the monuments located in the parkoff S. Washington Avenue, by Hoyt Park, thiswould be the starting contact place.

Obituary of Charles B. Lockwood

Charles B. Lockwood, formerly an old residentof Chesaning, died in Saginaw last Sunday,January 7, 1900, aged 54 years, 10 months and 7days.The remains were brought to Chesaning forburial Tuesday, and the funeral service, under theauspices of the Masonic lodge, was held at thehome of his brother-in-law, Dewitte Allen, Rev.Clough officiating.Charles Lockwood was born in Highland,Oakland Co., Mich., March 4, 1845. He came toChesaning when quite a lad, and lived with hisUncle H.J. Bentley, working in his store formany years. He was married to Miss LibbieAllen, in Chesaning July 1, 1860 by Rev.Clough. The wife of his young manhood diedten years after their marriage, and his heart wentwith her. Two children Fred and Lottie, were leftwith him to mourn her death.For a few years he kept his little family together,and then took the little boy with him to Dakota totake up land, returning after a couple of years. The daughter was an inmate of the editor’sfamily for over five years, after with she went toPontiac, and met and married her husband, Mr.George Bartlette, making Owosso their home. Mrs. Bartlette with her two children were presentat the funeral. Fred married a Saginaw girl and isliving near Hersey, Osceola Co. On account ofpoor health he was unable to be present.Mr. Lockwood has been in poor health for a goodmany years, in fact had not been the same mansince losing his wife. His mind failed him andthe past number of years he has been an invalid,requiring an attendant constantly, and toward thelast was great sufferer. He early united with theM.E. Church in this place, and his name is stillon the record. It is said that when his was toopoor to admit of transacting business, and evenafter he was scarcely able to recognize friends hehad a keen sense of his religious belief and wouldsay “Jesus is still my friend.” The Masoniclodge, of which he was a member in goodstanding, proved a good friend to him during hisyears of trial. A beautiful floral emblem of the

Masonic design was among their last tributes,and it can be truly said they were brothers to himin time of need. Thus endeth a sad and patheticlife, and none can but say, “it is well.”

Note that Henry Bentley’s wife Jane’s maidenname could also be spelled Wandell. Henry’sdaughter Alice E. Bentley was married toWilliam Henry Harrison Chapman, the editor ofthe obituary.

A friend from the local chapter of the AHSGFRasked for some help in locating information onhis family members. The name is spelled Gay,Gey, or Guy and they are generational farmers inBuena Vista Township, Frankenmuth, and Reeseareas. He was looking for a relative named, hisspelling, Woelinze, that was a Civil War veteranburied in Virginia. I didn’t find him but did findan interesting article that began with an obituaryindex from the Saginaw Daily Courier, Monday,October 10, 1870 for August Gay, age 2, child ofAugust, who died on October 8, 1870 in BuenaVista Twp., MI who was accidentally shot byeither Margaret or Henry Welzlein. Thefollowing article was found via Genealogy Banknewspapers dated Wednesday, October 12, 1870in the Jackson Citizen Patriot.

A Strange StoryFrom the Saginaw Enterprise

Yesterday the following story came to our ear,which became rife on our streets, and excited thestrongest feelings of horror and indignationtoward the perpetrators of so foul a deed. It ranthus: Saturday morning last while a Germannamed August Gay and his wife, living aboutfive miles out on the East Saginaw &Watrousville Plank Road (I speculated this wasM-81), were in the city doing some trading,leaving at home three children, aged respectivelyfifteen, thirteen and two years of age, the oldestbeing a girl, three ruffians entered the house andafter violating the person of the girl, deliberately


shot the little child, which, having becomefrightened, had made a loud outcry. The villains,after committing the outrage and murder stole agun and a crock of butter and fled to the woods.This was the story which was circulated hereyesterday morning. Word was sent to this citysoon after the death of the child, and SheriffMiller and Prosecuting Attorney Powers visitedthe house. They found the body of a very prettychild two years old, with a hole directly in thecenter of its little breast, not less than threeinches in diameter, produced by a gunshot, theweapon having beyond doubt, been placedagainst the child’s body when the deed wascommitted. Not a contortion or sign of agonymarked the sweet young face of the child, but itlooked as if it had just fallen asleep. Dr. B.B.Ross, of this city, having also been requested tohold a post mortem examination, was present,and made the examination. Now comes thecurious portion of the story. When the officersarrived and subjected the girl and boy to a rigidquestioning, they were informed that the men,after leaving the house, went in the direction of aswamp near by, whither the officers immediatelywent, when they discovered tracks in the softearth made by bare feet. Comparing them withthose of the girl, they were found to correspondexactly. After a careful search, the gun wasfound in the swap, as was also the crock of buttersaid to have been taken by the men. Othercircumstances conspired to convince the officersthat the story of the three men was a trumped upconcern, and by the dint of coaxing andthreatening, the girl was finally made toacknowledge that the story was false in everyparticular - there had been no men near thehouse, but that she had taken the gun and thebutter and carried them to the swamp, beingfrightened at what had been done. She still,however; would not say who had killed the child;yet it was apparent to all that the killing musthave been purely accidental, but that the children,becoming frightened, did not know what to do,and concocted the singular story we had firstheard. The officers, however, took them incustody and lodged them in jail, but for what

purpose we are unable to determine.

Chesaning Historical Museum Renovations inProgress

By Jeanne Marcello, Tri-County Citizen,reprinted with permission.

The Chesaning Area Historical Society ismoving forward with renovations to the localmuseum. According to trustee Brett Russell,contractor Dave Tomac intends to start the actualrepairs to the building on Monday, January 6,2014.

In May, an individual cleaning the stained glasswindows at the museum noticed cracks betweenthe roof and the walls. Further inspectionrevealed that there were cracked rafters holdingup the roof. As a result, all of the spring fieldtrips to the museum were cancelled, and themuseum closed.

Dave Tomac and Ken Valentine had braced theroof, to make it safer until the historical societyknew how the situation would be resolved. Volunteers packed the displays and artifacts,placing them in storage.

Experts at the Castle Museum in Saginawrecommended that the Chesaning HistoricalSociety contact the engineering firm of Kibbe &Associates for recommendations. The firm hassince provided a plan to restore the building.

Russell provided an overview of the plan. Theywould first finish tearing down the old ceilingpanels and insulation. They will need tostrengthen the frame from the inside of thebuilding with new support walls. Then they run


a cable around the exterior to prevent the wallsfrom going out further. The ceiling will need tobe reinsulated, “so it should be more energyefficient,” Russell said. The building will alsoneed new drywall and paint.

The project is estimated at a cost of $48,900. Russell said, “We actually have that in ourreserves. So we do have the money to completethe renovation; but it would deplete ourreserves.” The museum board is looking toreplace these funds with various fundraisers. Russell mentioned the possibility of holding adinner/dance inside the museum after therenovation is complete, but before the exhibitsare returned. The Chesaning Area HistoricalSociety is expected to reopen for summer of2014, according to Russell. In the meantime,Tomac is moving forward on the renovationwork.

Funeral services of Mrs. Mabel Cross DyerYesterday - The Good and the Beautiful Laid toRest - “Dormitt in Peace”

Saginaw Herald, Thursday, December 22, 1881,Page 1

Yesterday at 10 o’clock a.m. all that was mortalof the late Mrs. Mabel Cross Dyer was laid atrest in Brady Hill Cemetery, amid the tears of avery large concourse of people, gathered to pay alast tribute of respect to the memory of the goodand beautiful. The services were held at theresidence of the deceased lady’s parents,conducted by Rev. Warren F. Day, pastor of theCongregational Church in this city, and wereespecially marked by their touching simplicity,and absence of the conventional funeraldiscourse. The remains of the lamented MabelCross Dyer were laid out in a strikingly beautifulmanner. The casket being unique, lined withwhite satin. The corpse was attired in her bridalrobes with a wreath of immortelles about herbrow. Designs in flowers were noticeableeverywhere, prominent among which was herlittle chair, with her picture, when eleven yearsof age, all dressed in white flowers. A cross andcrown of tube roses and camellias rested at thefoot of the casket, while suspended from thechandelier, hung an anchor immediately over thecorpse and at the head a pillow with the word“asleep” were the most noticeable floral tributes. The walls of the large parlor were festooned withsmilax. On the breast of the casket rested theescutcheson of beautiful form, in richly chasedsilver, bearing the simple inscription:

MABEL CROSS DYERBorn 1860Died 1881

The chief mourners, including the bereavedhusband, were the father and mother of thedeceased, the father and mother of Mr. Dyer, andtwo grandmothers.

The service began by Rev. Mr. Day readingseveral appropriate selections of scripture,followed by the subjoined chant, magnificentlyand feelingly rendered by the CongregationalChurch quartette choir, consisting of Mrs. Geo.H. Stevens, Miss Shannon, Mr. Jos. Stringhamand Mr. F. Wykoff. Rof. H.B. Roney presided atthe piano. Following is the chant (not printed)


REST, WEARY HEART. Following theconclusion of the chant, Mr. Day offered a mostimpressive and touching prayer, breathing forththe spirit of resignation and hope. This wasfollowed by the following hymn, adapted tomusic by Prof. T.C. Roney of Chicago, andbeautifully rendered by the choir. The words toOh! Heaven Is Nearer Than We Think were thenprinted.

The simple services being concluded, a lastparting look at the face - still so beautiful indeath - of the girl wife, was taken, through thetear dimmed eyes of the sorrowing audience,when the Undertaker Prall closed the casket and forever shut out from human gaze the beloved lineaments of her who had in life twined about the hearts’ affections of all who knew her, eachfeeling the truth that

“Friend after friend departed!Who hath not lost a friend?There is no union here of heartsThat finds not here an end.Were this frail world our final restLiving or dying none were blest

The bearers consisted of the followinggentlemen: Eugene Kirby, Albert Marshal,Clarence Judd, Vincent Goddard, HerbertSheridan, and W. H. Gilbert. Followed by a longline of carriages the funeral cortege wended itsway toward the “silent city of the dead” on BradyHill. The services at the vault, where was to restthe precious dust, was a word fitly spoken by thereverend gentleman who officiated, and in thesure and certain hope of a glorious resurrectionthe beautiful clay was committed to the keepingof Mother Earth.

Rev. Mr. Day did not feel that the occasion calledfor a special discourse, as the whole life of MabelCross Dyer has been a living epistle, and herdeath a benediction of praise.

“She being dead, yet speaketh,” in the record ofher lovely life, its submission to the decree that

called her home, the patient meekness withwhich she awaited the arrival of the Messenger,who for her, was to open the doors to celestialjoy, all combined to form a psalm of triumph,both in her living and dying. She heard a voicesaying, “Come up higher” and laying aside theresponsibilities of the wife and daughter, she, inher young girlhood, ceased at once to work andlive.

“Oh, that each from her LordMay hear the same wordWell and faithfully done!Enter into my joy and sit down on my throne
