Death Angel Calls for Her – Remains Brought Here from Chicago.

The news of the death of Maybelle Armour Ecker which occurred in Chicago last
Saturday caused sadness in the hearts of her very many friends in this city and
community.  The deceased was born in Cedar Lake, Barry county and while a young
girl came to Belding to reside.  For a number of years she worked in the
Richardson Silk mills and was counted among their trusted and faithful employers.

Maybelle and her sister Ella united with the Congregational church at the same
time and were also members of the Young people’s Christian Endeavor society and
the Sunday School.

She was married to Roy E. Ecker about 5 years ago and went to Chicago to reside.
 After a brief illness she died in St. Josephs’ Hospital, aged 26 years.  The
funeral services were held in the Congregational church.  Rev. J.E. Butler
preaching an impressive sermon.

The floral offerings were many silent and beautiful tributes of respect to the
memory of the deceased.  Her remains were laid at rest in River Ridge cemetery
by the side of her father.  Miss Laura Richardson of Greenville and Mrs. J.E.
Ferguson rendered appropriate and beautiful hymns for the solemn occasion.

Thus passed away, in the prime of a happy life, one whose virtues have endeared
her to the hearts of a large circle of friends, one who was a fond sister a
dutiful child, and a devoted wife.  But the calm and almost cheerful
acquiessence which she manifested in the will of God, justifies the assurance
that she is “forever with the Lord.”
