Ionia Sentinel Standard-August 24, 1966

treatment and later transferred to Ionia County Memorial hospital where he 
died of multiple internal injuries according to Coroner Richard Hull.

maternal grandparents Mr. and Mrs. Stanley Mills of Muir, paternal 
grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Glenn Davis of Portland and a maternal great-
grandfather, Clyde Gilson of Muir.

John was born January 8, 1960 and attended Hayes rural school. He completed 
kindergarten there last spring. He also attended North Plains church Sunday
