Ionia Sentinel Standard, 12 Aug 1925

Woman Dies Suddenly At Fairgrounds.

Mrs. R. D. Eldred, 30, Mother of Five Children, Stricken Tuesday Night; Died
Very Quickly.

Mrs. Raymond D. Eldred, 30, living on a farm east of the city, was suddenly
stricken while attending the Ionia free fair Tuesday night, and though rushed at
once to a doctor’s office, died before aid could be given.

The Eldred family, with five small children, came to Ionia county about a year
ago from near Millbrook.  Mrs. Eldred was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William
Chapan, of near Mecosta.  The body was shipped to the home of her parents
Wednesday noon.  The funeral services will be held there Thursday.  Burial will
be at Millbrook.

At the time she was stricken Mrs. Eldred was standing near the grandstand, not
more than 20 feet from the spot where the Boynton ambulance was parked.  She was
put in the ambulance at once, but she had expired before the ambulance reached
the doctor’s office.  A bursting blood vessel was said to have caused her death.

So far as is known this was the only casualty at the fairgrounds Tuesday in
spite of the large crowd at the fair.
