Portland Observer, 12 Oct 1950

Mrs. Nellie Ingraham, 85, passed away last Sunday afternoon at Blodgett hospital
in Grand Rapids.  She had been a patient there since Sept. 27, when she was
seriously burned at her home.  Her clothing had apparently caught fire while
lighting a stove, and over 50 per cent of her body received second and third
degree burns.

Funeral services were held Tuesday afternoon at the Neller Funeral Home, Rev.
Lowell H. McCarty officiating.  Burial was in Portland cemetery.  Pall bearers
were Carl Ingraham, Bruce Enyart, Raymond Ingraham and Elwood Breeding.

Born in New York

Mrs. Ingraham had been a resident of Portland for 50 years.  She was born in New
York state on July 30, 1865, her maiden name being Nellie Stryker.  Her first
husband, Martin Powers, was killed by a train.  Her second husband, Levi
Ingraham, died in 1910.

The deceased is survived by three children.  They are Walter F. Ingraham, of
Portland; Mrs. Carl Enyart, of Lansing; and Glenn Powers, of California.  There
are also six grandchildren and several great grandchildren.

[Transcriber's Note:  There is a notation on the obituary card that Martin
Powers died in Feb 1900.]
