                              MRS AMARILLA O. PAGE
     One of Ionia's Noblest Women Answers the Summons of the Great Reapers

Mrs. Amarilla O. (unreadable word) of Wellington O. Page died this morning at 
5:39 o'clock, at the home on East Main street which she graced as a wife, 
mother, and most gracious entertainer for so many years. Mrs. Page was subject 
to severe asthmatic attacks and organic heart trouble and while death at her 
age and weakened condition was liable to occur at any time and with but little 
warning, the announcement of the end, nevertheless, was a shock to very many.

Deceased had attained the 67 milestone in her journey of life on March 17th, 
last. She was a resident of  Ronald at the time of her marriage to Mr. Page on 
Nov. 9, 1860, when she came to the county seat and here has resided 
continuously ever since. 

Her family was a large one, and among the older ones of Ionia county, but few 
of the direct of kin survive her. R. Lee Page, her son, and two brothers, 
Nathan Heath of Palo and Frank Heath of Vickeryville.

Mrs. Page was a most devout and consistent worshiper at the Christian's alter. 
She was a member of the Methodist-Episcopal church, and her interest; and 
benevolence were sources of the greatest support to her unto the end.

The funeral will be attended from the home on Saturday afternoon: the hour will 
not be determined until the arrival of her son, tomorrow.

               *Monday, June, 26, 1905 Sentinel Std.*
The funeral service for Mrs. Amarilla O. Page, at the home on Saturday 
afternoon, was very largely attended. It was conducted by Rev. M. L. Fox, 
pastor of the M. E. church, of which decedent had long been a member, and the 
singing was by Mrs. Fox. The respect and affection of life-long friends was 
testified by an abundance of flowers. Many of the friends accompanied the 
remains to the cemetery, by the long detour made necessary by the washout of 
road, involving a round trip of 14 miles. Among those in attendance from out of 
the city were: Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Heath, Mr. and Mrs. Albert Heath, and Miss 
Ora Heath, Palo: Frank Heath, Vickeryville: A. G. Wilson, Mr. and Mrs. Bronson 
Conner, Shiloh; Mr. and Mrs. Geo. A. Thayer, Carson City, Glenn Thayer, John L. 
Belknap, Grand Rapids John D. Wilson, Battle Creek.  The bearers were Daniel 
Heath, Albert Heath, Bronson Conner, J. D. Wilson, J. J. Belknap and Glenn 
Thayer.
