Portland Observer, 13 Mar 1924

The remains of Mrs. Mary J. Barden, a former resident of Danby township, will 
be brought here tomorrow (Friday) from Mason, to be buried in the Danby 
cemetery.  Mrs. Barden passed away Tuesday night at the late home at that 
place, death being due to ailments of old age.

Mrs. Barden was born in New York state about 80 years ago, and came to Michigan 
with her husband about sixty years ago and bought the eighty-acre farm that is 
now owned by Nelson Dinsmore, in Danby, and lived there eighteen or twenty 
years, when they moved to Mason.

Since moving they have been back to Portland several times and will be 
remembered by a few of the early settlers in this vicinity.

While a resident of this village Mr. and Mrs. Barden were very prominent in the 
Congregational church.  At the time Rev. Boothwell was pastor.

Besides the husband, who is a Civil war veteran, she is survived by three 
daughters, Lena and Effie, who reside at home, and Mrs. Mertie Blanchard, of 
Williamston.
