Biography

Memorials of the Grand River Valley (Ionia County)

• In the cemetery at North Plains, may be found another instance of the coincident death of an old couple. Moses Rounds, 1868 aged 75; his wife, Sophia, the same day.
• It is to suposed they were married; that they were imbued with an idea, now obsolete, that a man and his wife are one. Would it not be well if people had not become so much wiser than the original lawyer, who promulgated that idea. My hat came off at this grave. I know not who the were, except they were "Moses and Sophia Rounds;" but between them there certainly was one soul.
