Ionia Sentinel Standard, 5 Dec 1935

Funeral services for Melvin Guernsey, 62, will be held from the farm residence 
at Lyons Sunday afternoon at 2 o’clock with Rev. Paul L. Stewart, of Ionia, 
officiating and interment at the Tuttle cemetery.

Mr. Guernsey died Thursday morning at 6 o’clock after he was stricken with a 
heart attack.  He had been ill for the past year and a half with a heart 
ailment but had continued work on the farm.  He was born August 8, 1873, son of 
Mr. and Mrs. Horace Guernsey, of New York and came to Ionia when he was but a 
small boy.  In 1893 he married Miss Eva Guernsey, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. 
Dennis Guernsey, of Ionia, and moved to Lyons on the farm where they have been 
residing until the time of his death.  In 1921 his son, Leonard Guernsey was 
killed while helping a farmer put up hay when the car ran off the track hitting 
him on the head and killing him almost instantly.

He is survived by the wife, two daughters, Mrs. Flora Jay, of Ionia, and Mrs. 
Minnie Ward, of Ionia, two grandchildren, Russell and Velma Ward, three 
brothers, Orie Guernsey and Orin Guernsey, of New York and Simon Guernsey of
