The Belding Banner-News, Thursday, November 16, 1939


Orleans people were saddened on Friday when it became known that Mrs. Edith 
Face, well known resident of Orleans for many years, had passed away early that 
morning.  Mrs. Face had been very ill 12 weeks and a week ago last Sunday was 
stricken with pneumonia, from which she failed to rally.

Edith Budd, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Alex Budd, was born in Clinton county May 
16, 1868, and with her parents moved to Albany, N. Y., where they spent two 
years on the Erie canal.  When she was five years of age the family came to 
Homer and later located in Albion where she completed her high school 
education.  On July 25, 1888 she became the bride of Alva D. Face of Orleans 
township, where she resided until her death November 10, 1939.  Mr. Face’s 
death occurred January 1st, 1932.

Mrs. Face had been an active worker in the social gatherings of the community.  
She was a member of the Orleans Community club, of Beatrice Rebekah lodge No. 
100 of Ionia and Doric chapter, No. 75 of Belding.  She united with the Church 
of Christ in Ionia several years ago, and her life exemplified her Christian 
character.  She was a devoted mother and a good friend and neighbor.  

She is survived by two children, Mrs. Ernest Allen and son, Erme, at whose home 
she died, both of Orleans; also eight grandchildren and four great 
grandchildren; besides many other relatives. 

The funeral services were held at the Orleans church Sunday afternoon at 1 
o’clock with Rev. H. S. Ellis of Belding officiating. Mrs. Myron Kennedy 
furnished the music.  Members of the Orleans Community club and Beatrice 
Rebekah lodge attended in a body.  Bearers were Earl and Alva Face, Maurice and 
Ernest Clements. Eldred Schultz and Elmer Olger.  Honorary bearers were David 
Clawson, Byron Haskins, Fred Pitt, Frank Wood, Anson Ostrom and Clarence 
Dickerson.  Interment was in the family lot in Orleans cemetery, under a wealth 
of beautiful flowers, a silent tribute from relatives and friends.

Relatives attending from away came from Detroit, Grand Rapids, Homer, Battle 
Creek, Grand Rapids, St. Johns, Okemos and Belding.
