Mrs. Mary Carre Ozanne, with one exception the oldest resident of the Town of Somers, died of acute bronchitis Thursday, October 11, 1906, aged 87 years, 8 months, and 23 days.
She had been failing for some time and her demise would have occurred in a short time from infirmities due to old age, if the illness of which she died had not hastened her departure.
Mrs. Ozanne was born in the Isle of Guernsey, January 18, 1810 and was united in marriage to James Ozanne in May 1847.  In June 1850 they sailed for America, landing in Racine and moving immediately to the farm in Somers, already purchased, and upon which they spent the remainder of their lives, Mr. Ozanne, having departed this life December 11, 1872.
Four children were born to them, all of whom survive, E.G. Ozanne, Emma Ozanne, and Mrs. Helena Hitler of Somers and A.Z. Ozanne of Tempe, Arizona, also six grandchildren, two great-grandchildren, and one brother, Daniel Carre of Beatrice, Neb.
Mrs. Ozanne was in early life an attendant of the Episcopal Church and was converted at the early age of ten years.  She united with the Methodist Episcopal Church at the age of fourteen, a membership of 73 years.  She was a devoted Christian.  The funeral service was held from her late home Saturday afternoon, conducted by Rev. Rollins of Racine, a former Pastor of the Somers M.E. Church.  Burial at Oakwood Cemetery. (Source:  Racine Journal Times, publication October 19, 1906).
