The Lake Odessa Wave, Thursday, December 2, 1926


A woman highly respected and loved by her friends was Mrs. George Layle who 
passed away last Friday at her home in Ionia.  For many years Mrs. Layle lived 
west of town but with the boys working in Ionia she went there to reside.

On September last she and her children at home when to Bay City to visit 
cousins.  On the way to a church supper the automobile in which she was riding 
met with an accident that injured her spine and from which she never 
recovered.  She suffered much the remaining ten weeks of her life, but was 
tenderly cared for by her children and a kind nurse.

The family have the sympathy of many friends and neighbors.

Mrs. Anna Layle, aged 71, passed away at her home, 451 Harter St., Ionia, 
Mich., on Friday, November 26, 1926.  Her death resulted from an injury to the 
spine received in an automobile accident, Sunday, September 19, while visiting 
relatives in Bay City. 

Mrs. Layle was born May 14, 1855, and was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Peter 
Kreise of Norfolk county, Ontario.  She was married March 22, 1874 to George 
Layle, also of Canada.  A year later they moved to Michigan, living the 
greater part of the time in Barry and Ionia counties.  About a year ago she 
moved to Ionia from the farm home in West Odessa where she with her husband 
and family had lived for several years.  The family consisted of six children: 
Mrs. Frank Giddings of Campbell, Floyd of Odessa, Mrs. Agnes Karcher, George, 
Dorr and Nettie of Ionia.  Besides the children she is survived by three 
grandchildren and a sister and two brothers living in Canada.

Throughout her life she has always shown a Christian sprit in assisting others 
in time of need and giving her support to any worthy cause.  The patience and 
courage with which she bore her last great affliction was truly wonderful, 
seeming to be more mindful of the comfort of others than of her own suffering 
and saying always, “God knows best.”

Funeral services were held at the M. E. church in Lake Odessa, Monday at 1:30, 
conducted by Rev. Kendrick of Ionia.  The music was by Mrs. Wm. Tietz, Mrs. W. 
C. McCartney and Mrs. Thomas Johnson.  Interment was in Lake Side cemetery 
beside her husband who departed this life February 15, 1925.

Card of Thanks:

We wish to express our appreciation to Rev. Kendrick for his kind words, the 
singers and pall bearers for their kindnesses, the Hayes-Ionia office force 
and employees of the metal department, also to the friends and neighbors both 
of Ionia and Odessa for the beautiful flowers and for any acts of kindness 
done during the sickness and death of our dear mother.

Mr. George Layle, Miss Nettie Layle, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Karcher, Mr. and Mrs. 
Floyd Layle, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Giddings, Mr. and Mrs. Dorr Layle
