                          Ionia Man Found Dead At Home
Robert A. Brimmer, 67, Ionia old age (unreadable word) was found dead at his 
home at 325 Webber street at 2 p.m. Monday when Bernard Vogt of the Bureau of 
Social Aid stopped to pay him a visit. Coroner Harry Myers said death was due 
to a heart attack and estimated he had been dead about eight hours.

Vogt made the discovery when he went up to the house, got no response to his 
knocks, and saw Brimmer through the screen door sitting slumped in a chair. 
Finding the door locked he summoned Peter VanVleck, chief deputy sheriff, who 
came with George Cowels, Clarksville deputy sheriff.

Brimmer was born October 18, 1880, in Lakeview, and came to Ionia in 1914. He 
worked for a time at the Ypsilanti Reed Furniture company, and was also a 
farmer. He is survived by eight children, Floyd of Union City, Fred of 
California, Keith of Muir, LaVon of Muir, Rose Mary of Belding, Mrs. Richard 
Trevith of Flint and Mrs. Wayne Booth of Ionia.

Funeral services will be held Thursday at 1 p.m. at the  Myers funeral home 
with the Rev. Wayne Davis officiating. Interment will be in Blanchard at 3 p.m.
