Ionia Daily Sentinel Standard, 4 Feb 1932

Kneeling by the side of her bed with her hands clasped as in prayer, Mrs. Mary
Franks, of Prairie Creek, was found dead Thursday morning at 6 o’clock by her
son, Ernest.  The two had lived alone and it was the custom of her son to get up
and get breakfast.  It was when he went to call his mother that he found her
body still upright leaning against the bed.  It is thought that she had been
dead for two hours.

Funeral services will be conducted by Dr. Paul L. Stewart at the home Saturday
afternoon at 2 o’clock.  The burial will be in Oak Hill Cemetery.

She was born in Dundee, O., but had lived the greater part of her life in Ionia,
and for 55 years in the home where she died.  For over half a century she had
been a member of the Ionia Church of Christ.  Besides the son at home, she
leaves a son Walter, of Grand Rapids.
