Ionia Standard – Friday, 22 July 1892
Mrs. Elizabeth Morgenthaler died on Saturday afternoon shortly after five 
o’clock, aged 62 years and 11 months.  Her illness was of some three years 
duration, and during the three months last past, especially, did she fail 
rapidly.  To the older people in the community, she will be best remembered as 
the widow of Henry Morgenthaler, who died in the same house, in the same 
month, 18 years ago.  The surviving children are Louis, of this city, and Mrs. 
John Thompson and Mrs. Frank Fletcher, of Grand Rapids, all of them born in 
this city, where the parents settled in 1855 – or 37 years ago.  As a mother 
she was devotedly wrapped up in her children, of quiet demeanor, and strongly 
attached to the welfare and duties of her home; as a neighbor she always had 
the confidence of all.  In her death a truly good woman has gone to her reward.

Mrs. Morgenthaler came to Ionia direct from Permasins, Germany.  She was one 
of the original members of the German-Evangelical society here, and for 80 
years was a prominent and respected member.
