Pioneer Woman Answers Summons

The many friends of Mrs. Wilbur Locke will be saddened to hear of her death
Wednesday at about 11:30 a.m.  She had been failing in health for the past year
and since before Thanksgiving had been confined to her bed.

Mr. and Mrs. Locke came here from Ionia several years ago and purchased the home
formerly owned by the late Henry Patterson, at 407 Pleasant street.

Mrs. Locke had attained the age of 88 years, having been born in Shelby, New
York, in 1841.  She taught school prior to her marriage to Wilbur H. Locke,
December 16, 1866.  The grand old people have enjoyed 64 years of married life
and during all that time have been residents of Ionia county.  Two sons were
born to them, Alfred R. and Charles P., both have preceded their mother in death
and who were former attorneys in Ionia.

Mrs. Locke attended the Methodist church and was a member of the Woman’s Relief
Corps in which she took an active part until her health failed.  The funeral
services will be held Friday afternoon at 2:30 o’clock from the home, Rev. H. S.
Ellis officiating.  Burial will be made in River Ridge cemetery.  She is
survived by her husband and two grand children, Mrs. Byron Philip, of Port
Huron, and Allen B. Locke, of Ionia; also three great grand-daughters.
