The Ionia Sentinel-Standard, Thursday, April 2, 1931

Full military honors were accorded Arthur Morey Wednesday afternoon when 
funeral services for the young World war veteran were held at the home, 613, 
North Rich street, where tuberculosis claimed him as its victim Sunday.

A wealth of flowers surrounded the casket and many of these were made up in 
designs of military significance from veterans’ organization, with a great 
profusion of cut flowers and individual pieces.  The flowers were in charge of 
Bernita Simons, Leona Humphrey, and Doris Simons.

The home was filled with comrades and friends for the services, which were 
conducted by Dr. W. F. Kendrick.  A large delegation from John F. Girard post, 
American Legion, of which he was a member, attended in a body.  Members of the 
legion, Charles Jack, Ralph Donalson, Forrest Beemer, Spencer Smith, Felix 
Bredice, and Harry O. Burke were the bearers.  Mrs. R. A. Colwell and Mrs. 
Thane Benedict sang.

As the commitment service was carried out at Highland Park cemetery and the 
casket lowered to the grave, a rifle squad from Company H, Michigan National 
guard, fired the final salute.
