Belding Banner-News, 23 Feb 1927

Saranac and vicinity was shocked beyond words Thursday morning when word came
over the wire from Ypsilanti that Neva Branson had died, the result of an
automobile accident which occurred about eight o’clock Wednesday evening as she
and some college friends were returning from a show.  They had attended out of
the city and were two miles east of the city when a Hudson six driven by Ernest
Miller, of Detroit, attempted to pass and on seeing a car coming towards him he
went too close to the car Miss Branson was riding in and tiped them into the
ditch.  All were bruised up a little but she was unconscious when picked up and
never rallied, and at 6 o’clock Thursday morning she passed out, about 15
minutes before the frantic parents, Mr. and Mrs. Claude Branson reached the
hospital.  The funeral was held Sunday afternoon at 2 o’clock at the home, with
Rev. W. Halladay officiating.  She was a graduate of the Saranac High school,
the Ionia County Normal, and had been a successful teacher four years.  This was
her second year in Ypsilanti.  Besides her parents and brother, Russell and
wife, she leaves a host of friends.  Neva was one whom every one liked and the
funeral was largely attended and the banks of flowers were many and beautiful. 
She was laid to rest in the Saranac cemetery only a week after her grandfather,
Clark Young.
