Mrs. Edwin F. Beckwith, 84, widow of Dr. E. F. Beckwith, at one time an Ionia 
physician, died Wednesday afternoon at 2:00 o’clock in a Cleveland, O. 
hospital.  She had been living with her daughter, Mrs. Mary B. Butchart, in 
Cleveland, and suffered a fractured hip in a fall several weeks ago.

Born in Columbus, Ohio, she was married in 1881 to Dr. Beckwoth, and the couple 
resided in Ionia for many years, living on East Main street and later in the 
home now occupied by Lloyd T. Smith, Union street.  Dr. Beckwith died in 1928.

Surviving are three daughters, Mrs. Butchart, Mrs. Frederick B. (Alice) Stiven 
of Urbana, Ill., and Mrs. Elba (Bertha) Johnson of Gambier, Ohio.  There are 10 
grandchildren.  A son, Raymond, a professor at the University of Arizona, died 
many years ago.  

Mrs. Beckwith was a member of the First Presbyterian church of Ionia.

Funeral services will be held Saturday afternoon at 2:00 o’clock at the Boynton 
funeral home.  Rev. A. J. Westmaas will officiate, and burial will be in the 
family lot in Highland Park cemetery.
