Publication Unknown, 1922
G. Vivian Holmes was born in Grand Rapids July 4, 1889, and at the age of 
seven moved with her parents to Saranac where she has since lived excepting a 
few years in Greenville, Michigan and Los Angeles, California.  March 29, 1917 
she was united in marriage to Sherman H. Eddy of Saranac.  Those five years 
were spent in Lansing, Grand Rapids and Saranac.  

Mrs. Eddy has been poorly for the past year.  In January she submitted to an 
operation at the Blodgett hospital in Grand Rapids after which she seemed to 
be getting better until Saturday morning when a change for the worse took 
place and she sank rapidly until Sunday, March 12, at one o’clock in the 
afternoon she passed to her reward, at the home of her parents, at the age of 
32 years, 8 months and 8 days.

She leaves to mourn her absence her husband, Sherman H. Eddy, her father and 
mother, Mr. and Mrs. H. B. Holmes, one sister, Mrs. Alma Button, all of 
Saranac, a niece, Mrs. Gladys McNall of Detroit, two aunts, Mrs. A. J. Branson 
of Berlin township and Mrs. Willis Westfall of Proctor, Minn., and an uncle, 
George Holmes of Belding, besides other relatives and a host of friends.

Everything possible was done by loving relatives and friends to make her 
comfortable during her prolonged illness.  Vivian put up a hard fight in her 
struggle for life always with a smile and an assurance to her friends that she 
was going to get well.  Always so happy and thankful to friends and relatives 
for each little remembrance and kind greeting. 

Rev. Haryward, the pastor, says of her: “It was my privilege to converse with 
her many times regarding her spiritual welfare, in prayer supplication a 
throne of grace, she accepted Christ as her Savior, always so thankful for the 
interest I took in her spiritual welfare.”

The funeral services were held Wednesday afternoon, March 15, at two o’clock 
in the M. E. Church.  The attendance was large and the floral tributes very 
beautiful. Rev. C. Hayward preached.  Mr. and Mrs. Earl Adgate sang beautiful 
hymns for the service at the church.  They very sacred and solemn burial 
service of the Rebekah Lodge was feelingly performed at the grave by the large 
number of her Rebekah Sisters, and the body was laid to rest in Saranac 
cemetery.
