The Ionia County News, Thursday, December 8, 1921

Mystery seems to cloud the sudden death of Dr. William Coburn, aged Ionia 
physician, who died in a small town in Ohio Sunday.  The news of the doctor’s 
sudden demise was transmitted to Ionia when Sheriff Hoppough received a 
telegram late Sunday night from Ohio authorities, who were trying to locate 
the wife of the deceased.

Sheriff Hoppough immediately began inquiries which resulted in the locating of 
Mrs. Coburn at La Porte, Ind., Monday night and the Ohio authorities advised 
to wire her at that city.

But little was known concerning Dr. Coburn since his coming here several 
months ago, when he purchased the practice and equipment of the late Dr. J. J. 
Defendorf.  His offices were on West Main street and evidently his practice 
was limited.  How he happened to be in the Ohio town, or what caused hi death 
has not been learned.  Mrs. Coburn never came to Ionia while her husband was 
located here and it is believed they were estranged.
