Lake Odessa Wave-Times  December 6, 1926

MRS. T.B. BURCH BURIED LAST MON
Resident Here many Years.Mother of the Badgley Brothers. Leaves Husband and 
Sons.

Mrs. Emily Badgley-Burch who has been an invalid for a number of years passed 
away at the home of friends in Portland last Saturday, where she and her husband 
had gone to spend the winter.

Both Mr and Mrs Burch were too elderly to care for fires during the winter and 
so for several winters they had hired their care at some hotel or home, for they 
were companions for each other and could not be persuaded to live separately 
with each one's relatives.

Mrs. Burch's first husband, Lewis Badgley died many years ago leaving her with 
three sons grown to Manhood and a daughter, William Ray and Edward, and 
Mrs.Linnie Randall.

The daughter died about ten years ago and one son William, has moved to Canada, 
while the other two, Ray and Edward live in Grand Rapids.

Mrs. Badgley was 81 years of age and had lived in Lake Odessa a good many years.

The funeral was held at the home  here Monday afternoon, Rev. A.E.Gay 
officiating. Old neighbors were the pall bearers. Burial was in Lake Side 
Cemetery.

Mrs. Burch was passionately  fond of flowers and her home was always surrounded 
by them, and the beautiful flowers at the funeral reminded one of her devotion 
to them in life.
