The Lake Odessa Wave, Thursday, June 7, 1928
Florence McQuillan was born in South Dakota on August 1, 1886.  When she was 
four years old she came with her parents to Michigan, settling in Ionia 
county, where she has since lived.  She was married to Melvin Lapo on June 19, 
1907.  To Mr. and Mrs. Lapo were born three children, Hazel and the twins, 
Raymond and Robert.  Three years ago the family left the farm in Ionia 
township and took up their residence in Lake Odessa.

For a number of years Mrs. Lapo has been in failing health.  While everything 
that loving care and medical skill could do was done for her, she fought a 
losing battle and passed to the Great Beyond from Blodgett hospital in Grand 
Rapids, on May 27, at the age of 41 years, 9 months and 26 days.

She leaves to mourn their loss, her devoted husband, the three children named 
above, one brother, Leon McQuillan of Ionia, and her father and mother also of 
Ionia; besides many other relatives and friends.

Mrs. Lapo was a woman of beautiful disposition.  While her strength did not 
permit of the extended service her heart would gladly have rendered outside 
her home, yet to the full measure of her ability she gave herself to life’s 
obligations, especially to wife and mother.

The funeral was held at the Methodist church, Rev. O. F. Bulman, the pastor 
preaching.  Burial was at Lake Side cemetery.  The sons’ class of the public 
school attended in a body and the Rebekahs acted as escort.
