Read More	Elizabeth and William had a daughter Irma (Cowan) McKendry. The Belding Banner, Wednesday, February 24, 1915 Elizabeth C. Cowan, widow of William S. Cowan and daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Melvin B. Allen, was born December 31, 1840 in Berlin township, Ionia county, and moved with her parents when a small child to Ronald township, where she grew to young womanhood and assisted her parents in their pioneer work. At the age of 18 she began teaching in the district schools, at first in her own vicinity and later in Grattan township, Kent county, where she met William S. Cowan, whom she married May 4, 1865. They lived in Grattan township for 17 years, and were valued members of the Congregational church at Bostwick Lake. In the spring of 1882 they moved to the farm in Easton, Ionia county, and by continued industry made it a beautiful home. She resided there till her death, which came very peacefully February 17, 1915. The funeral service was held at the home Friday at 2 p.m., and the large number of friends present and the profusion of beautiful flowers, spoke the love and respect in which she was held by all who knew her. Her pastor, Rev. F. W. Nickel, spoke words of comfort from Rev. 14 chapter and a part of the 13th verse. He mentioned the kindly interest the deceased took in everyone, and said she was always busy with her heart and her fingers for others. The body was carried by her sons and grandsons and laid to rest in Easton cemetery by the side of her husband, who passed away Sept. 3, 1904 at the age of 65 years. In Feb. 1896 Mr. and Mrs. Cowan presented their letters to the Dildine church, where they will be greatly missed. The deceased is the mother of three children, Elmer A., Irma L., wife of John McKendry and Edgar J., and leaves two brothers, M. J. Allen of Ionia, and H. L. Allen of Palo. These, with the grandchildren and a host of friends are left to mourn the loss of a most kind and noble woman.
