Mrs. Margaret A. Wall died August 2, at her home in Big Rapids, after a short 
illness of four weeks. The remains were brought to Ionia for interment by her 
husband, daughter and son. The funeral party was accompanied here by several 
relatives, Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Neff, Mt. Pleasant; Mr. and Mrs. C.S. Cook, 
Belding, and Mrs. Cries Groves of Edmore.

The funeral took place at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Richard E. Donovan, Sunday 
afternoon, August 4, at 3 o'clock.

Mrs. Wall was born June 30, 1847 in Worthington, Pa. Her father, John, and 
mother, Jane McDonald, came to Ionia in 1854 with eight children.

Mrs. Wall was married twice. Her first husband was (unreadable) Coon, and to 
them two children were born, Mrs. Richard Donovan and John H. Coon, both of 
Ionia. She was married a second time to W.P. Wall of Meridan, Miss, in 1890. 
They went from there to their home in Mr. Lebanon, La., where they resided 
until seven years ago when they came north. Mrs. Wall was well known in Ionia, 
many friends receiving word of her death with regret.

Funeral Sunday, 4 August, 1907

Saturday, August 31, 1907 obituary appeared in the "Big Rapids Pioneer" as 
follows:

MRS. W.P. WALL DEAD
Was sick only one month - - cause of her death peculiar.
Mrs. W.P. Wall died last night about 8 o'clock, after an illness of one month. 
She was taken ill first in the night four weeks ago last Monday, when she woke 
up complaining with peculiar headache. She failed to grow better, but instead 
became worse. For some days she was out of her head, and her children, Mrs. 
R.E. Donovan and J.H. Coon, were summoned here several days ago in anticipation 
of the end. Hemorrhage of the brain is the nearest analysis the physicians can 
make of the cause of her death.

She is survived by her husband, her two children by her first husband, of 
Ionia, and a sister from Mt. Pleasant. 

She lived here for the past seven years, coming here from Ionia. She was 60 
years of age. The funeral will be held at Ionia tomorrow afternoon, where the 
body was taken this afternoon.
