Lake Odessa Wave-Times December 30, 1926

LOYAL M.E. MOTHER TRANSPORTED HOME
Mother of Mrs.Charles Lapo and Miss Reva Bishop. Funeral Largely Attended at 
Church Sunday.

After several years of poor health Mrs.Bishop closed her eyes to the scenes of 
this world and entered that other world from which none return.

Although mother had been a care for months, or years, there is no one quite like 
mother, and no other friend ever takes the place of that one who always 
sympathized in our trials and soothed in our sorrows.

There is always a loss at the time when death takes our mothers, but it is 
through the years that follow that the irretrievable loss is realized.

Mr.Bishop was a dear Christian mother, as loyal to her Church, as to her family. 
Cherry and helpful and patient, even after health was lost.

The funeral was held at the Central Methodist Church Sunday afternoon. The large 
attendance showed the esteem in which she was held.

Mrs.Bishop was the mother of Mrs.Charles A. Lapo and Miss Reva Bishop of this 
place. Mrs.Minnie Guy Bishop of Sunfield preceded her mother in death several 
years.

Rev. Bulman, her pastor, preached. The music and pall bearers were of her church 
people. Burial was at Lake Side Cemetery beside her husband.

Those from away to attend the funeral were, Verne Guy of Holland, Mr and Mrs 
A.M. Smith of Sebewa, Mrs.Veda Blickenstaff and daughter, Jeanette of Plymouth, 
Miss Opal Lapo of Mr.Clemens, all grand children, Mrs. Alvira Turner,Glen Turner
