THE END OF THE WORLD

Comes to Mrs. Olive Y. Just Sunday Evening.
Mrs. Olive Yeomans Just, who was stricken Monday night, passed away on Easter
night at 8:45.

Mrs. Just was one of the few residents whose early life was intimately connected
with the early life of Ionia, and her death brings a feeling of sorrow to all
whose memories reach back to that period in the history of this city. She was
born on the Yeomans' homestead farm, just west of the corporation line, and her
home has always been here, except for two short periods after her marriage, when
she lived in Ann Arbor and Greenville. She was always a favorite in social
circles in her youthful years. During her later years she had lived a life
secluded from anything like gayety, but her social qualities have been manifest
in a restricted circle and quiet way to the comfort and pleasure of neighbors
and intimate friends, who will greatly miss her. She possessed a strong
personality, with decided convictions, generous impulses, a quick sense of
humor, and decided literary tastes. While shunning publicity, she took an active
interest in such public affairs as appealed to her sense of sentiment and
conviction, and could be depended upon for liberal aid.

She was born Oct. 22, 1843. She was married to Wm. J. Just Sept. 21, 1865. He
died eleven years ago. She leaves four brothers: Erastus T., Walter, Frank H.
and Edwin S. Yeomans.
