Mrs. Bither had been ill since Jan. 20, when she suffered the first of a series of strokes, which terminated in her death.

She was the widow of A.F. Bither, who died about 10 years ago.  With the exception of a number of years spent in Chicago, she had lived in Niles all her life, She returned here after her marriage about 15 years ago.

Until illness made it impossible for her to continue her church and social contacts, she was active in the work of Trinity Episcopal church, the Daughters of the American Revolution and the Social club. For many years she was a member of the Twentieth Century club which was discontinued a few years ago.

She leaves a brother, Henry Rosewarne, who lives in the family home on the Edwardsburg road, and a sister, Mrs. E.D. Lovell, Chicago; two step-children, Fred Bither, Grand Rapids, and Mrs. Bernice Reamer, Detroit, also two nieces and one nephew.
