Ionia Sentinel Standard, 9 & 12 Dec 1918

The death of Bernice Ellen Brown, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George Brown, of West
Washington street, occurred last night.  She was 24 years of age and for the
past four years has suffered from a peculiar malady which caused an abnormal
growth of fatty tissue with the result that at the time of her death, her weight
had reached more than 550 pounds.  For several months she has been unable to
leave her bed, and although everything was done that could be, no remedy could
be found for the trouble which finally caused her death.  Funeral services will
be held from the residence.

------------

The funeral for Miss Bernice Brown was held yesterday afternoon from the home,
679 W. Washington street.  Rev. Fr. McCarthy officiated and interment was in
Highland Park cemetery.  The bearers were William Powell, Ray Curtis, James I.
Williston, Charles Ward, W.F. Soule, Frank Carten, A.L. McKee and Fred Longe.
