The Ionia Daily Standard, Friday, March 26, 1897

A telegram received by James Vosper this morning from Webster Mitchell, 
announces the death last night, of the sister of last named, Miss May 
Mitchell.  Deceased was born in this city, and lived here until about five 
years ago.  She was a bright and amiable girl, delightfully frank and 
unselfish in her ways, full of life and good spirits, and a prime favorite 
among her associates.  She was taken sick about a year ago, and had to give up 
her situation.  The following summer she spent largely with Ionia friends, who 
did everything possible to keep her in cheerful spirits.  She steadily grew 
worse, and for some months has been confined to her home, where many of her 
Ionia friends visited her.  She was received as a communicant in the Episcopal 
church, during the past winter.  Her age was 21, and the disease which cut her 
off in the flower of her young womanhood was consumption.

The funeral services will be held in Grand Rapids to morrow afternoon.  
Remains will arrive here by 4:34 train, for interment in family lot in 
Highland Park.
