Frances V. Ostrander, 24, died early Monday morning at the Ionia Community 
hospital following an automobile accident on the corner of North Jackson and 
East Lincoln avenue.  She was taken to the hospital and did not regain 
consciousness.  She died at about 3:30a.m.

Born November 11, 1916, in Ionia township, she had lived in this community all 
her life.  She was graduated from the Ionia high school in 1935.  She was the 
daughter of George and Maude E. Ostrander.  She was a member of the First 
Baptist church and taught a class in the primary Sunday school.

Surviving are the parents, and one sister, Mrs. Fred Smith, of Milwaukee, 
Wisconsin.  Miss Ostrander’s fiancé, John Brown, of Grand Rapids, also 
survives.  The accident occurred as Miss Ostrander and the others in the party 
were returning from taking Mr. Brown to the Ionia station to catch his train 
for Grand Rapids.  

The funeral arrangements will be completed following the arrival of her 
sister, Mrs. Smith, from Milwaukee.
