The Ionia Sentinel-Standard, Wednesday, January 15, 1969
Ill for months and confined to Ionia Manor, Emma Hodgkins, 92, of Ionia, died 
at the Manor about 3 p.m. Tuesday.  Miss Hodgkins has lived in Ionia most of 
her life and was graduated from Ionia high school in 1899.  She lived in an 
apartment at the corner of Union and Washington streets before she fell 
fracturing her hip about a year ago.  She spent her time watching through her 
apartment window, which was filled with flowers, doing needlework, before 
being confined.

Miss Hodgkins won many prizes for needlework at the Ionia free fair and won 
the first Ionia merchant’s automobile drawing at the fair in 1916.  She had 
worked for many years as a bookkeeper and clerk and the C. B. Jack store, at 
the Carten store and for Roth and Reed grocery.  She also assisted her 
brother, the late John Hodgkins, in the operation of his Morse street 
grocery.  During Word War II she was employed in the cafeteria of the Fisher 
Body plant in Ionia.

Funeral service will be Thursday at 1 p.m. at Myers funeral home with Rev. 
John Hadley of Lincoln Avenue Baptist church officiating.  Final burial will 
be at Tuttle cemetery.
