Ionia Sentinel - Thursday, Nov. 11, 1886

The hearts of the people of Belding and the adjoining vicinity were filled 
with the deepest sadness by the death of Mrs. Lila King Chapple, Sunday 
a.m., Oct. 31st. She had been suffering for the past two years with that 
terrible disease, consumption, and her death was not entirely unexpected. 
The funeral services were held Wednesday, Rev. D. E. Millard of Belding and 
Rev. L. Master of Ionia officiating. They were solemn and filled with the 
deepest sadness. The body was interred at Ionia, the home of the parents' of 
the deceased. Mrs. Chapple had grown to womanhood among us, being a faithful 
pupil in our school and a successful teacher in this portion of the county 
for many years. She was a woman possessed of rare qualities, of sterling 
goodness, and genuine goodness of heart. She leaves motherless a sweet 
child, only two years of age. She was only 23 years of age and the pangs of 
death were rendered more difficult to bear at that age when life is so full 
of attractions and joy. But she bore it all with christian resignation, and 
the closing hours of her life from a scene not soon to be forgotten. Mr. 
Chapple and the members of her family, in their deep bereavement, have the 
sympathy and consolation of a host of friends. - Belding Correspondence
