Lake Odessa Wave-Times Thurs. April 12, 1929

BEATRICE BIPPLEY
Lake Odessa was saddened on Thursday when news came of the death of Miss 
Beatrice Bippley, of Ionia, one of the much loved young women who spent her 
early life in this vicinity.

Miss Bippley was born near Lake Odessa in 1902. She graduated from the Lake 
Odessa high school with the 1920 class and taught several successful terms of 
school in Ionia county. She later took a business course at Ferris Institute. Of 
late she has been employed n the Fidelity dry goods, now V and R. store of Ionia 
though often expressed a desire to return to teaching where her interests really 
were.

Several weeks ago she accidentally scratched her arm with a pin and from this 
abrasion blood poison developed, and later erysipelas. She nearly  recovered 
from this, and was able to return to her duties at the store, but a recurrence 
of the illness caused her to go to bed again. No  one considered her condition 
serious and only Wednesday her condition indicated every reason to believe that 
she was decidedly better. Thursday morning she was taken with a sinking spell, 
and died shortly after the arrival of her physician.

She was a member of the Methodist church and order of Eastern Star. She always 
exemplified the Christ-like teachings of the church and the fraternal order in 
her sweet Christian character.

She leaves her mother, Mrs.Ella Bippley; a brother, John Bippley; a sister, 
Mrs.Edward Kress, all of Ionia; also her aged grandparents, Mr and 
Mrs.T.J.Pickens.

The funeral services were conducted from the Stebbins funeral home Sunday 
afternoon at 2 o'clock by Rev. W.F. Kendrick. The interment was in Lake Side 
cemetery, Lake Odessa
