The Ionia Sentinel-Standard, Monday, June 30, 1947

Lester Abbott, 54, of Grand Rapids died suddenly Sunday morning at the home of 
his parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Abbott, in Sheridan.

Formerly a telegrapher at the Ionia, Saranac and St. Johns depots of the Grand 
Trunk railroad, Mr. Abbott had been at the Grand Rapids depot many years.  On 
his vacation Mr. and Mrs. Abbott and their youngest son, Alden, arrived at the 
home of his parents in Sheridan Saturday where they planned to spend part of 
his vacation.  Feeling ill Sunday morning, he went to lie down on the bed and 
died almost immediately.  Mrs. Abbott is the former Glennis Sayles, who taught 
in Prairie Creek school and was at one time the Saranac correspondent for the 
Ionia Daily Sentinel-Standard.

Surviving him besides his wife are two sons, Arland and Alden, at home; his 
parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Abbott of Sheridan; one brother, Roscoe, of Sidney.

His body was returned to his home Sunday evening.  Funeral services will be 
held in Grand Rapids Wednesday afternoon at 2 o’clock.  The I.O.O.F. lodge of 
Saranac will have charge of the grave services at 3 p.m. at Saranac cemetery.
