The Ionia Sentinel-Standard, July, 1928
The death of Mrs. Hiram Darling, which occurred at Blodgett hospital Monday 
afternoon at 4 o’clock, removed from this community one of the best loved 
homekeepers.  Mrs. Darling had been ill for three years.  During this time 
there were weeks when she seemed better, then a recurrence of her malady would 
necessitate long periods of hospital treatment.  She had been in the hospital 
Monday but a few hours when her unexpected death came.  Mr. Darling and Ruth 
accompanied Mrs. Darling to Grand Rapids, and after they had seen to her every 
comfort, left her to rest in the hospital while they went to the home of an 
aunt of Mr. Darling, who was critically ill, and who died later in the 
evening, to make a brief call.  While making this call they chanced to meet 
the physician of Mrs. Darling, who assured them that she was better, and his 
words were so encouraging that Mr. Darling and Ruth debated whether or not 
they should let Mrs. Darling rest or return to the hospital and see her a 
moment before they returned home.  They decided on the latter course, and Ruth 
as she entered her mother’s room found that she had just died.  Only a few 
seconds had elapsed between the time that the nurse had left the room and the 
time the daughter entered.

Up until her death was noted the same careful thought that she had given for 
the welfare of others, for some time ago she requested that a post-morten be 
hled in order to determine if the doctors were correct in their diasnosis of 
her condition, thinking that this examination might determine something that 
would be of value to the physicians in treating other sufferers.  This was 
done last night, and revealed tha the rillness had been property diagnosed as 
heart disease.

The life of Mrs. Darling had been one of devotion to her family, her home, and 
the Baptist church, with which she was affiliated in its various 
organizations.  She expended all of the energies she had during the times when 
she was feeling better.  She had been a member of the Woman’s Literary club 
for three years, but here illness had prohibited her from taking a very active 
part.

Mrs. Darling was born in Bloomingdale 42 years ago, and was united in marriage 
to Hiram Darling in 1903 at Bowen Station.  They lived in Coopersville and 
Lapeer before Mr. Darling entered the creamery business, and is now one of the 
three proprietors of the Ionia Creamery company.  Mr. Darling is also one of 
the school board members and the alderman from his ward.

Mrs. Darling is survived by her husband and three children, Clyde, Ruth and 
Dorothy, all at home.  She also leaves a sister, Mrs. Giles Wiley, of Detroit.

The funeral service will be held from the home, 729 Hackett street, Wednesday 
afternoon at 3 o’clock, with Rev. Alfred Trenerry officiating.  The interment 
will be in the Highland Park mausoleum.
