Ionia Sentinel, 14 Feb 1895

The readers of the Sentinel will be pained to learn of the death at 1 o’clock
Friday afternoon of Mrs. E.L. Lester at her home on East Main street of
apoplexy.  She had been sick since Jan. 30 with a bad cold, which developed into
pneumonia, but continued to improve and was not thought to be dangerously sick
until that morning when she suffered a second congestive chill.  At noon she was
very low and passed away at the above hour.  Mrs. Lester has long been a
resident of Ionia and had many warm friends.  She was an active member of St.
John’s Episcopal church and her friends deplore her sudden demise.  She leaves
two daughters Mrs. Ida Abbott of this city and Mrs. Frank Fox of East Tawas, and
also her mother.
