-Mrs. Geo. ERB, of Royal Oak, sister-in-law of Mrs. FOURNIER, has been making her a visit for the past week. (16 Jan 1890)-DIED-March 7th, at her home in Royal Oak, Mrs. Barbara ERB, mother of Mrs. L. FOURNIER. Mrs. ERB was born in Germany, Dec. 17th 1820. With her husband and two small children she came to America in 1849, settling first in Albany, N. Y. Later they came to Michigan, finally making a home in Royal Oak, in which home Mrs. ERB lived for the last 48 years. At the early age of fourteen she united with the German Lutheran church, of which she was a consistent, conscientious member until the day of her death. She is survived by three children, Mr. Jacob ERB, of Royal Oak; Mr. George ERB of Detroit, and Mrs. Julia FOURNIER, of Grayling, also five grand-children. All through the years of her sojourn in America she has by correspondence kept in touch with the friends of her childhood and youth in Germany, receiving her last letter about a year ago. She cheerfully bore the hardships and privations of Pioneer life, proving a true helpmate to the husband, who preceded her in death about eight years. Always happy in her love of husband, children and home, well beloved by all with whom she came in contact, she was one of whom it may be said: "Her children arise up, and call her blessed."
