The Ionia Daily Sentinel-Standard, Wednesday, February 18, 1920

Miss Leah Pearl Avery, aged 38 years, died suddenly this morning at about 5 
o’clock at the home of her mother, Mrs. Jennie G. Avery, 330 Bliss street.  
Her death followed a hemorrhage from the lungs with which she was stricken 
early in the morning.  Miss Avery was feeling in her usual health the evening 
before and had been out to supper at the home of friends.  She was in her 
place, as usual Sunday at the Presbyterian church where she had been the 
organist for a number of years.  

Miss Avery had for a number of years past made a gallant and brave fight 
against the inroads of tuberculosis with which she had been attacked.  Her 
valiant effort to retain her health had apparently been rewarded by success in 
some degree at least and she was about to continue her work and to be an 
inspiration to her many friends.  Her death was unexpected.  She has been a 
resident of Ionia all her life, well known to a large circle of friends, a 
musician of ability, beginning her work many years ago when as a child she 
played the organ and piano in the lower grades of the city schools. 

She leaves her mother, Mrs. Jennie Avery, and a brother, James Avery, of New 
York, who is expected here on Thursday.  Funeral announcement later.

Park.
