Caroline Wallace was born in Stafford, Canada, August 13, 1834, being at the time of her death 81 years, eight months and five days old.
She was married to D.D. Ostrander May 21, 1853 at Niagara Falls, when 19 years of age.
To this union 10 children were born, one dying in infancy. The deceased was always a hard working woman, spending her time and strength in caring for her home and family, and doing whatever she could to help others.
They moved to their present home near Lakeview 36 years ago; when the county was comparatively new, and by hard work, made for themselves a comfortable home. Besides her aged husband, she leaves nine children, Mrs. Geo. Dell of Weldman; Mrs. Thos. Graham of Fremont; Mrs. Chas. Witheral of Lakeview; Mrs. Frank Johnson and Mrs. Clarence Elfritz, near Lakeview; John of Muskegan; D.W., James and Dell, also residing near Lakeview, all being present at the time of her death.
