Ionia Daily Standard, Ionia MI, Thursday, February 12, 1891
A dispatch came last Thursday from New York that filled every heart with 
sadness.  It was that Grace Haddow was dead.  Her parents had hoped to the 
very last that she might be spared to reach home, but such was not the case.  
She said, just before she died: "I am going home, but not to Michigan."  The 
remains reached here Saturday, accompanied by a cousin; funeral services held 
Sunday at regular hour at the Baptist church, which was very largely attended, 
a good many being unable to even stand inside the church.  Grace's entire life 
had been spent in Palo and vacinity, she was one of the first class that 
graduated from our school under Prof. Smith.  She was of kind disposition, a 
thorough student and above all a pure devoted Christian.  The parents feel 
their loss most keenly and have the sympathy of all.  The church was very 
appropriately decorated and Elder Munger showed in his sermon how truly he 
felt the loss of so faithful a member of his flock.

Additional Comments:
Burial in Palo Cemetery.
