Lake Odessa Wave, 18 Jul 1924

Sad Home Coming 

Slept Amid Flowers

Beautiful is Death, Funeral Saturday, Many friends from other cities

Last Friday the remains of Mrs. Ida Thomas Garlinger were brought from Detroit 
where she died Thursday morning after a two years battle with her deceptive 
tubercular disease.

The splendid care at the hospital and at her mothers home Mr. and Mrs. H. S. 
Knapp in Detroit and the thoughtfulness of her husband probably lengthened her 
days.

She often planned on her home coming when she should get better, but when she 
came it was sleeping amid a profusion of roses and other beautiful flowers sent 
by loving friends.  Always beautiful in face and figure in life she as sweetly 
slept in death.

Mrs. Garlinger’s girlhood including her school days and Sunday School days were 
spent in Lake Odessa where she always had a smile for everyone.  Was always 
cheery and lovable.

The funeral was held from their residence on main street over the Garlinger 
Market Saturday July 12, 1924.  The sermon was by Rev. W. J. Prestige of 
Midland.  The music by George Kart and Leon Gilson with Mrs. Gilson accompanist.

Those attending from away were: Mr. and Mrs. Harry Warner, Mr. and Mrs. Arthur 
Thomas, Mr. and Mrs. C. F. Mohrhardt and their daughters Betrice and Bernice, 
Mr. and Mrs. Walter Stafford, and Loyd Branch all of Lansing; Mr. and Mrs. Fred 
Conley, Hilda Vibber, and H. W. Vandver of Detroit, J. E. Garlinger of Chicago, 
Will Garlinger of Cadillac, Mr. and Mrs. Leon Snyder of Big Rapids, Mr. and 
Mrs. Lowell Grissoy of Wacousta, Mrs. Bell Shaibley of Alma, Ralph Jordan of 
Detroit, Mr. and Mrs. Harley Granart and Emma Nott of Grand Rapids, Mr. and 
Mrs. Howard Rising of Pontiac, Mr. and Mrs. Geo Nott of Chippewa Lake, James 
Nott and wife of Ionia.
