The Ionia County News, Thursday, September 6, 1945

Ida Milton, 70, formerly an Ionia resident for over 40 years, died at the home 
of her daughter, Mrs. John Vultaggio, in Ferndale, Thursday, Aug. 30.

She was born in Reed City in 1875, one of 10 children.  Her parents, John and 
Martha Holquist, emigrated from Grandhult, Sweden.  In 1900 she married Henry 
J. Milton, of Ionia.  They worked several years at the Bailey Hotel in Ionia 
and then established the Plaza Hotel there which they operated successfully 
for over 40 years until ill health necessitated their retirement.

Her eldest daughter, Mrs. Eva Phelps, of Detroit, expired August 5, 1941, and 
Henry Milton September 14, 1944.  Mrs. Milton herself has been in poor health 
for several years, and was seriously ill five weeks following a stroke.

Surviving are two daughters, Mrs. John Vultaggio of Ferndale and Mrs. Sydney 
Noble of Grand Rapids; three granddaughters, Karen Kay and Kathleen Noble of 
Grand Rapids and Martha Phelps Roberts of Ionia; two sisters, Mrs. Amanda 
Mitchell of Reed City and Mrs. Ellen Kobutsky of Manistee; two brothers, Anton 
and Ephram Holquist, both of Reed City, and a niece, Mrs. Wilbert Roberts, of 
Ionia.

Funeral services were held at Boynton’s funeral home, Ionia, Saturday, and 
interment was in Oak Hill cemetery.
