Mrs. Denning was the wife of Richard Denning, formerly of Ionia but now of Battle Creek, and daughter of Mr. and Mrs. S.M. Thurston. She passed away after an illness of only three weeks with inflammatory rheumatism, her condition not being considered serious till a short time before she expired, when the ailment went to her heart. Her death was a great shock to her husband and friends, who had hopes of her recovery, and to her mother who was with her during her entire illness. Deceased was nineteen years of age and died April 13 - a sad coincidence, that being her husband's twenty-first birthday. The remains wee brought to Ionia for burial. She was a member of Mrs. Branch's Sunday school class for three years and her bright and sunny disposition won for her many friends, who mourn her early demise. She was married to Richard Denning January 31, 1914, in Battle Creek, the ceremony being performed at the house of Mr. and Mrs. Norman, uncle and aunt, who came to attend the funeral.
