The Ionia Standard, Friday, February 17, 1911
The funeral services for the late Frank H. Harter, who died in Chicago on 
Tuesday, was attended at the home of his mother, Mrs. E. M. Harter, Lafayette 
street, on Thursday afternoon.  Rev. W. K. Spencer officiated and Mrs. Thane 
Benedict and Mrs. G. M. Phelps sang.  Deceased was born in Ionia on Nov. 25, 
1852, being thus 58 years past, at the time of his death.  He was of peculiar 
genial and kindly temperament.  He came from a family who were pioneers in the 
mercantile and banking life of this city; the father is long since dead, but 
the venerable mother survives, at the ripe age of 82 years.

Deceased was a member of the Ionia High School class of ’74, the third class 
(of three members) graduated from this school.  He afterward took a business 
college course at Grand Rapids, when he returned to Ionia and went into the 
retail grocery business, continuing some 20 years.  His social and business 
standing in the community was always excellent.  He was married in 1882 to 
Alice, youngest daughter of Dr. C. H. Hammond, both active at the time in the 
work of the young people of the Presbyterian church.

The remains were placed in the Wager-Libhart vault in Highland Park, there to 
rest until spring, when internment will be made.  The carriers were: F. A. 
Stiven, M.M. McGeary, H. A. Rich, and W. W. Townsend of Hubbardston.
