The Saginaw Evening News
Tuesday, 20 February, 1883

         MRS. SARAH WYMAN, familiarly known to residents of
       Midland and vicinity as "GRANDMA" WYMAN, died at Mid-
       land on Friday last, the funeral services being held
       on Sunday. MRS. WYMAN came to the Saginaw Valley with
       her husband, long since dead, forty-six years ago,
       having lived since that time at Midland, which at that
       date gave more promise of becoming a town than East
       Saginaw. MRS. WYMAN leaves three sons, two daughters
       and grandson and granddaughters who themselves have
       children now well grown. The lady, notwithstanding
       her advanced age, retained her faculties and a good
       portion of her physical strength to the last, death
       being caused by a fall. She has witnessed the develop-
       ment of the country along the Tittabawassee and Sagi-
       naw Rivers for nearly fifty years, and her most vivid
       memories were of the events occurring nearly a century
       ago, her age at death being a little more than 98
       years. Her eldest son was drowned off the first boat
       ever penetrated to Midland City, that occurring so
       long ago that the event has been forgotten save by
       the "old inhabitants" who delight to recall the
       occurrences of long ago.
       
       Transcriber's Note: CHARLES WYMAN, passenger on the
       steamer Midland City, fell into the river and drowned
       in April, 1859. He was not her eldest son.
