The Ionia County News, Thursday, October 17, 1935
Frances Adeline Bellamy died at her home three miles west of Ionia Friday, 
October 11.  She was one of the oldest pioneers of Easton township.  The 
Bellamy Mills were built and operated by her father, Edward S. Bellamy, were a 
familiar landmark for many years, and the residence as it now stands was 
completed by her father in 1869.

Frances Adaline Bellamy was born near Akron, Ohio, December 21, 1845, and had 
she lived until December 21 would have completed her ninetieth year.  She was 
the daughter of Edward S. and Armena Brown Bellamy.  Almost her entire life 
was passed in this locality as she came here with her parents in 1854.  In her 
earlier years she was active in Grange work but for the last twenty years she 
had lived quietly in the heart of her family, a good neighbor, a loyal friend, 
and a patient sufferer to the end.  When the call came she answered with a 
smile and passed away as quietly and beautifully as she had lived.

She is survived by one sister, Mrs. Horace Rowley, a niece, Mrs. Orvin Buche 
and Miss Lucia Bellamy, with whom she made her home.

Funeral services were held from the residence Monday afternoon at two o’clock 
with Rev. Herbert A. Simpson, of the Presbyterian church, officiating.  Burial 
was at the family lot in Highland Park.  Bearers were : Bert North, Elmer 
Cowan, Harry Curtis, Del Meyers, Walker Brown and Donald Henry, of Deckerville.

Deckerville, Mich.; Mrs. Elfa Munis, member of the board of directors of the 
Gleaners, Detroit; Mrs. Harvey Jewell, Croswell, Mich.; Mr. and Mrs. Wm.
