FROM THE MICHIGAN HISTORICAL COLLECTIONS^[2]

Mrs. Morgan B. Hungerford died July 13, 1891 at the family residence, 602 Ionia Street West, Lansing of Bright's disease, after a lingering illness, aged fifty-six years.

Mrs. Hungerford was born at Lyons, Ionia County, July 29, 1835, being the first white child born in that county. Her maiden name was Antoinette Chubb. Her early life was spent in the vicinity of Lyons, and in 1857, she married to Rev. Aaron Bowser, who died in 1861. Four years later she married Morgan B. Hungerford, who with a sister Mrs. F. A. Stow of Fowler, Clinton County, and a brother, James Chubb of Lyons, survive her.

Mrs. Hungerford became a resident of Lansing Township in 1867, removing to the farm of her husband on the western outskirts of the city where they resided until 1881 when the family took up residence at the beautiful home, corner of Ionia and Chestnut streets. She was a member of the Central M. E. Church, had been president of the Ladies' Aid Society, treasurer of the Women's Foreign Missionary Society, in which societies she was an earnest worker, and her kindly smile and Christian spirit will be greatly missed by those with whom she came in contact.

Buried at Mount Hope Cemetery, Lansing, Ingham Co., Michigan, USA.

She passed away in 1891.
