The Hartford Day Spring Newspaper (MI), 1885, via Michigan Historical Society Records, (newspaper); reprinted in the Michigan Historical Society Records, V. 8 and published online by ancestry.com, 1885 May 15. "Mrs. Fabius Miles died suddenly last Thursday afternoon, May 7, 1885. She worked in the forenoon, and at dinner time was apparently as well as usual. Soon after she went across the river some thirty rods from the house, to look after some cattle that were grazing, when some one at the house heard her call and on looking that way saw her throw up her hands and fall. Those near hurried to the place, took her up, carried her to the house and did all in their power to restore her to consciousness, but it was too late, as death had struck the fatal blow and her spirit had passed beyond the river. Miss Bethiah Mantle was born in Jefferson county, N, Y, in July, 1817, where she passed her youthful days. In 1839 she married Mr. Miles at Watertown. They lived there until 1844, when they moved to this township and settled on the place where she spent the remainder of her days. Here she passed forty-one years of earnest, faithful labor and general usefulness, gaining the respect and esteem of all who became acquainted with her.
During this time she was called to mourn the death of two sons and two daughters. While they have gone before, a husband and two daughters are left to mourn her loss and follow after. The funeral, which was at the house on Saturday, was largely attended, many of the old settlers being present who sadly mourned the loss of one taken so suddenly from their already wellthinned ranks. She had obeyed the call for which they are 'only waiting.'."
