The Ionia Daily Sentinel, Monday, August 20, 1917

Miss Louise Everest

Loving Tribute by Mrs. Clara Spaulding.

The notice of whose death was recently noted in the Ionia Daily Sentinel was 
at the home of her sister in Detroit when she passed away having gone there 
from Petoskey for more extended treatment and to be with her sister who could 
give her such loving care as well as her brother, who was often by her bedside 
during her periods of suffering which were intense but were borne with 
patience, she was anxious to regain her health.

Life was very dear to her and the joy of living was truly a joy to her.  Her 
home life during her vacations was mostly spent at home with her parents where 
her time and ever-willing hands were always ready to work for the comfort of 
those around her.  

Before going to Petoskey Miss Everest was a teacher nine years in Lyons.  She 
is endeared to many friends there.  She had a good memory and studious habits, 
therefore her mind was stored with useful knowledge.

During her employment in the city schools of Petoskey which extended over a 
period of 24 years she learned to love them as her own people.  She was very 
grateful for their kind treatment and sympathy for her after she was compelled 
by illness to leave her school duties and for their loving care during her 
stay in Petoskey before going to Detroit.

Miss Everest will be missed by her many pupils, with them her influence has 
been far-reaching.  She will be missed in social gatherings as well as 
conventions of other teachers and their societies.

After going to Detroit she made many friends by her kindly ways and patience 
but her disease was not cured and gradually took her life.  About 12 hours 
before she passed away she seemed to be sleeping or resting.  A light shone 
around her and those who were near her felt they were in Divine presence.  
When she spoke she said, “I have had a vision and have seen God.”  She rapidly 
failed and her earth life soon closed.

Her remains were taken to her home where relatives and friends met to pay 
their last tribute of love and respect.  Comforting words were spoken by Rev. 
Spencer of Ionia.  She was taken to North Plains cemetery, her last resting 
place.
