The Ionia Sentinel-Standard, Friday, November 2, 1923
The funeral service for Mrs. Leslie James was attended from the home of her 
sister, Mrs. Archie Anderson, 323 King street, Thursday afternoon at 2:30.  
The members of Queen Esther chapter, Order of Eastern Star, of which Mrs. 
James had been a member since a girl, attended the service.  The members of 
Beatrice Rebekah Lodge No. 100 and the employees of the Quality store also 
attended.

A comforting sermon was delivered by Rev. Charles J. Krase, pastor of the 
First Methodist Episcopal church and prayer was offered by Rev. Joseph H. 
Green, of the Presbyterian church.  Chandler Haight, a lifelong friend of Mrs. 
James sang two solos.  A beautiful display of floral offerings was arranged in 
the house, while the casket remained in the hearse during the service.  Burial 
took place in the family lot at Oak Hill cemetery.  The bearers were George 
Cutler, Fred Cutler, Archie Anderson, Vern Anderson, Henry Voelker, and George 
Lauster, all relatives of the deceased.

Mrs. James, whose maiden name was Louise, was born on South Dexter street 
February 3, 1869, and was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George Cutler Sr.  The 
family moved into the home on King street in 1870.  Mrs. James attended the 
public schools and graduated from the local high school.  She was associated 
in business with her brother Fred until her marriage to Leslie James in 1897.  
Their married life was almost equally divided between Brooklyn, New York, 
Zanesville, O., and Chicago.

She was a yearly visitor in Ionia and for the past few years had spent 
practically every summer with her sister, Mrs. Archie Anderson.  She was an 
active member of the Epworth Methodist church of Chicago and was the treasurer 
of the Women’s Foreign Missionary society of that church.

Her death occurred in Chicago Tuesday morning, October 30, and came as a great 
shock to her many friends and relatives.

Those here from out of the city to attend the funeral were Mr. and Mrs. George 
Cutler of Chicago; a brother-in-law, Homer James, of Zanesville, O.; Mr. and 
Mrs. C. Miller, Mrs. J. Anderson, Mrs. Sophia Feibing, Miss Mary Feibung, of 
Muir, and Vern Anderson and Mr. and Mrs. Don Cutler, of Detroit.
