Stroke Is Fatal To Ionia Woman

Mrs. Irene Gott Stricken While on Camping Trip at Crystal Late - Died Shortly
After Reaching Home

Mrs. Irene Gott, 47, wife of August Gott, 433 King Street, died unexpectedly
from a stroke at about 3:30 o’clock Tuesday afternoon while on a camping trip at
Crystal lake.

Mrs. Gott and her two daughters, Dorothy and Florence, left Ionia Sunday for
Crystal Lake where they had been staying with Mrs. Paul Leslie of Ionia, in the
Leslie house car.  Mr. Gott and Mr. Leslie had been driving back and forth to
work in Ionia where they are employed at the Ypsilanti Reed factory.  At about
2:30 Mrs. Gott was taken ill and Mr. Gott was notified.  An ambulance was sent
for Mrs. Gott to bring her to her home where she died soon after her arrival. 
This is the third stroke which she has suffered, as she was ill for several
months last year from the effects of one of these attacks which were thought to
be due to high blood pressure.

She was born in Bay City, November 16, 1890.  Irene Whorley, daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. W. Whorley, and moved with her parents to Easton Township when she was 10
years old.  On October 28, 1914 she was married to August Gott of Ionia, and
they have resided in Ionia since.

Survivors are her husband, August; two daughters, Dorothy 17, who was graduated
from the Ionia high school this year with the class of 1937; Florence, who is
12; three brothers, Claude Whorley of Paris, Royce Whorley of Easton, and Willis
Whorley of Detroit; one sister, Mrs. Marjorie Marachofsky of New York City. 
Another sister, Mrs. Herbert Ward of Ionia, died in 1927.

Mrs. Gott was a member of the chapter of Eastern Star of Ionia, and three years
ago held the office of warder.  She is remembered in this official position by
other members of the organization because of a particularly suitable voice and
enunciation for the work.  She was a former member of the relief corps auxiliary
of the DAR, and has always been a member of the Methodist church.

Funeral services will be held from the home at 2 o’clock Friday afternoon and
from the church at 2:30 o’clock.  The casket will not be open at the church but
friends may view the body at the home.
