Ionia Sentinel Standard, 4 Feb 1944

Funeral services for Mrs. Frances Gertrude Devore, 73, who died Wednesday at the
home of her daughter, Mrs. William A. Geitz, of Detroit, were held Friday
afternoon at 1 o’clock at the K. Arthur Rivett home in Muir.  Rev. Gerald
Jacobs, pastor of Lyons Methodist church, was officiating minister and burial
was in Lyons cemetery.  Pallbearers were Alfred Paxon, George Staley, B.W.
Grove, V.F. Upton, Wilmot Loveless and H.M. Kelley.

Mrs. Devore was born June 8, 1870 in Plainwell and was the daughter of Patrick
and Martha Duhig and moved with her parents to Lyons at the age of ten.  March
2, 1892, she was married to Dr. Ransom P. Devore, of Lyons and the couple had
made their home there until his death, February 13, 1912.  Since then, she had
spent the winter months with her daughter in Detroit, and the summer months at
her home in Lyons.

Two years ago she had gone to live with her daughter because of ill health.  She
suffered a stroke January 25 and had been in a coma until her death Wednesday
morning.

She was a member of Lyons Methodist church, a charter member of Evergreen

Ionia White Shrine and had been a former member of Lyons Research club.

Surviving besides the daughter, Mrs. Geitz, is a sister, Mrs. Ella Olmstead of
