Mrs. Walter Garrett, the former Leone Hale, was found dead in bed about 10:00
o'clock Thursday morning, Feb. 28, at her home, 402 Division St., Ionia.

Mrs. Garrett was secretary for Henry  Welch of the National Farm Loan Association,
and when she did not appear at the office at around 8:30, Mr. Welch tried to call her
home.

and Dwight Whipple, who investigated and found her as above stated.

She had been receiving treatment from a physician for a heart ailment and Coroner
Dale Kauffman stated death was caused by the heart condition. Her death occurred sometime

after 5:30, when Mr.Garrett left their home for Grand Rapids and his work with an
oil company.

Mrs. Garrett, daughter of Frank Hale of Orleans, was born at Orleans in 1898, and

some years she was employed in Jamestown, New York, later at the State Savings Band and 
Frank's 5c tp $1.00 Store. For the past eight years she had been in the employ of
the National Farm Loan Association.

She is survived by her husband, Walter; her father Frank Hale and a sister, Mrs.
Charles Snyder, of Marshall.

Rev. Howard A. Smith officiated at the funeral service held from the First Methodist
Church, Ionia, Monday afternoon. Bearers were Henry Welch, Justus Christiansen, Dwight
