Blanche, as she was known to all, was born north of Ionia, February 12, 1890, and has lived in this vicinity all of her life. She had a sunny disposition and always a smile for everyone. Her many acts of kindness endeared her to all who knew her. She was a member of the Church of Christ and Aid Society, Evergreen Chapter of Eastern Star at Lyons, the White Shrine of Ionia, and the Muir Library club. Her funeral was held in the Church of Christ Monday afternoon with Rev. Paul Stewart of Ionia officiating. The floral offerings were many. Pall bearers were Frank Soper, John Allen, Frank Judevine, Melvin Burtraw, Dewey Randall and William Harrison. Blanche was one of the writer’s earliest piano pupils and she also sang at all gatherings. She loved flowers and music and her flower gardens have been greatly admired of late as of unusual varieties. Her life was like a lovely rose. Those attending the services from away were Jack Britton, of Owosso; Mr. and Mrs. John Allen, of Ithaca; Mr. and Mrs. A.M. Eaves, of Belding; Mrs. Asa Traynor of Orleans; J.E. Fike, of Delphas, Ohio; Dr. Hargrave and Mrs. Danon Judevine, of Palo; Lou Beaver, of Carson City; Miss Ruby Hoover, of Keuka, New York; Mr. and Mrs. John Martin and son and Mrs. Julia Dommick, of Flint; Earl Messecar, Howard Peers and Mr. and Mrs. Burnell Vernon, of Alma; F. Zental, of Owosso and Mrs. Willis Hetler of St. Johns.
