The Ionia Daily Sentinel, Wednesday, October 22, 1913


Word was received here today of the death of Mrs. Mary Hobbs, at her home in 
Denver, Colo., Friday of last week.  Mrs. Hobbs was the eldest of a family of 
eight children of the late Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Sanford, who in the early days 
were residents of Pleasant street, this city.

Mrs. Hobbs  was a woman about 65 years of age, and left Ionia many years ago.  
She was Mary Sanford, and married in the west probably 40 years ago.  It was 
only last week that she was in Michigan and while east paid a visit to all her 
brothers and sisters.  Her death is the second among the children in the 
family.  The six who survive are Mrs. Adelaide Hughes of Big Rapids, Mrs. John 
(Fanny) Burns of St. Louis, Bert Sanford of Grand Rapids, Frank Sanford and 
William Sanford of Danville, Illinois, George Sanford of Wichita, Kansas.

The announcement of the death of Mrs. Hobbs came to Ionia from Mrs. Burns, who 
was located in her Maccabee work at Duluth, Minn.  Mrs. Burns went from Duluth 
to Denver, while Mr. Burns came to Ionia this morning from St. Louis to make 
the funeral arrangements.

Mrs. Hobbs was taken ill within two days after her arrival home, having 
contracted pneumonia.  Her death was entirely unexpected.  Mrs. Burns left 
Denver Tuesday for Michigan with the remains, and will arrive in Ionia 
Thursday morning at 11:25.

The funeral will be attended from St. John’s Episcopal church at two o’clock 
in the afternoon, burial in Highland Park cemetery.  Mr. and Mrs. J. B. 
Sanford, who died many years ago were early Ionia pioneers, and were among the 
first members of the Episcopal church here.
