Ionia Sentinel - Thursday, Oct. 4, 1894

Miss Marion Dygert, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C.H. Dygert of this city, died 
at 1 o'clock Friday afternoon of consumption, at the home of Hon. Hampton 
Rich. She was 19 years of age, and was a very popular young lady, greatly 
beloved by a large circle of friends, who , although not unexpected, will be 
pained to hear of her death.

Funeral Services of Marian E. Dygert held Sunday Afternoon.

The funeral services of Miss Marian E. Dygert were held Sunday afternoon at 
the commodious residence of Hon. Hampton Rich, on East Main street. There 
was a large gathering to pay their farewell tribute to the memory of one who 
was so loved so well.

The services were conducted by Rev. F.O. Dickey, assisted by Rev. D.F. 
Barnes. The Baptist choir rendered several choice selections. Rev. Barnes 
read the scripture lesson, and offered prayer, after which Rev. Dickey spoke 
in the highest terms of deceased and delivered a feeling address. The 
members of the choir were Miss Kate Benedict, Mrs. E.E. Wager, Earnest 
Butcher and M.E. Simpson, and the remains were borne to their last resting 
place by Messrs. Wm. Cochrane, Harry Butcher, K.R. Smith Jr., and Albert 
Bedford. The casket was white, embossed with lavender combination and was 
covered with flowers. 

The flowers were in profusion, several large pieces coming from friends, 
young ladies and gentlemen in this city, also a piece from the Sunday school 
in Grand Rapids, to which Miss Marion belonged while residing there. Flowers 
also came from Chicago and Detroit. 

The deceased would have been 19 years of age, had she lived until next 
December. She was a general favorite with the young people here and her 
death was a great blow to all who knew here, and filled every heart with 
extreme sadness. The relatives all have the heartfelt sympathy of the 
community.

She was a lovable and happy disposition, bright and beautiful in her social 
lite, and both patient and affectionate during her last days, when friends 
from far and near did all in their power to make her last hours happy.

She was laid to rest in Highland Park cemetery, and to that place, a long 
line of carriages, filled with hearts of sadness followed. 

Those who were here to attend the funeral were Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Northrop 
of Lake View, Mrs. S.P. Hovey of Detroit, Fred M. Northrop of Lansing, Mr. 
and Mrs. Montgomery of Detroit and Will Dygert of Detroit.
