The Ionia County News, Thursday, October 31, 1935
While doing his chores Sunday morning, Rufus Lee, aged 53, was instantly 
killed.  He had reached the top rung of the ladder of the silo when it broke.  
Mr. Lee lost his hold and fell backward to the bottom of the silo.  He struck 
against the cement foundation and fractured his skull, broke his neck and jaw.

Mr. Lee was killed on the farm on which he was born.  He had always resided 
there, with the exception of a few years.  The deceased is survived by the 
widow and three daughters, Mrs. Olive Bieri, of Alto; Miss Frances Lee and 
Mrs. Joy Weeks, of Lowell; four grandchildren and one great grandson; two 
brothers, Reuben, of South Boston and Homer, of near Alto and eight sisters, 
Mrs. Lula Layer, Mrs. Ernest Colby, Miss Ella Lee, Miss Fannie Lee, Mrs. Roy 
Chambers, Mrs. Charles Billinger, Mrs. Ransom Vaughn and Mrs. Honor Chambers.

Funeral services were held Tuesday afternoon at two o’clock at his home and at 
2:30 from the Methodist church at Bowne Center.  Rev. Francis Ham conducted 
the service and interment was in the Bowne Center cemetery.

The vicinity extend their deepest sympathy to the bereaved family in their 
sudden loss.
