The Portland Observer, Thursday, December 9, 1915

One of the sad events of the week was the death, in Grand Rapids, of Mrs. G. 
I. Hallock, formerly miss Rena Samaine, of Sebewa, and the subsequent 
transportation of the remains, accompanied by the bereaved husband and two 
young sons, to this place for burial.  Upon arriving here on the late train 
Friday evening the body was taken to the home of Mrs. N. K. Wright, an aunt of 
deceased, where it laid in state until the funeral services Saturday 
afternoon, conducted by Rev. C. E. Pollock, of the Methodist church.  The last 
rites were largely attended and expressions of sympathy for the bereaved 
relatives were heard on every hand.

Mrs. Hallock’s death was due to a brief illness from pneumonia, said to be 
directly traceable to poisoning caused by the inhalation of escaping coal 
gas.  While Mrs. Hallock seemed to suffer no ill effects at the time of the 
incident, members of the family are inclined to believe that it was this very 
thing that undermined her health and later resulted in her death.

Mrs. Hallock was a daughter of Daniel Samaine, of Sebewa, and was born in 
Portland township 48 years ago.  Her husband is the proprietor of the Hallock 
Advertising Agency, of Grand Rapids, one of the biggest enterprises of its 
kind in the western part of the state.  The two sons who survive her are Dan, 
aged 13, and Eston, aged 11.  Brothers and sisters are Miss Alice Samaine, 
Grand Rapids; Charles, Portland, Oregon; Mrs. Fred W. Brickley, Orange; Mrs. 
Frank Campbell, Sebewa; Miss Maude Samaine, Kendallville, Ind.; Mrs. John 
Ramsey, Portland.

Owing to the fact of there being no available space on the Samine family lot 
to permit of the interment of the body it was placed in the vault here for the 
time being awaiting definite decision of the relatives as to where to inter 
it.  It was Mrs. Hallock’s desire to be buried near her own people, but 
because of unforeseen circumstances it may be impossible to carry out her wish.
