Ionia to Pay Respects to Former Judge
Services for the Late F.D.M. Davis to Be Conducted Friday Afternoon at 2:30 from
Baptist Church.

Friday Ionia will pay its last respects to a former citizen and public servant
who gave many years of his life to the service of this community, when the
funeral services are held for the late Frank C.M. Davis, a former mayor of the
city, and for many years circuit judge.  Not alone will Ionia county be prepared
to voice its final tribute but representatives from Montcalm county, over which
Judge Davis presided as circuit judge also, will attend the services. 

The funeral party will arrive in Ionia at 12:45 city time over the Grand Trunk
railroad.  An escort of members from the Ionia Commandery, No. 11, will be
present to meet the body of Sir Knight Davis and members of the Ionia-Montcalm
county bar association will also be present.  From the depot the party will
proceed to the Baptist church where the body of Judge Davis will lie in state
from one o’clock until 2:15 o’clock.  Funeral services will be at 2:30.  Those
wishing to view the remains may do so during this period.

All Sir Knights of Commandery No. 11 are requested to be at the Grand Trunk
depot upon the arrival of the train to accompany the party to the church.  All
Sir Knights will meet later in full Templar uniform to act as an escort for
Ionia lodge No. 36 in marching from the temple to the Baptist church where the
Masonic burial service will be given.  Sir Knights will park their cars on East
Main street headed east on the north side of the street in front of the county
building.

Members of the Ionia-Montcalm bar association, will serve as honorary pall
bearers.  Rev. F.J. Fitch, pastor of the Baptist church, will have charge of the
funeral services.
