Belding Banner News – Wednesday, 2 March 1921

Mrs. Bertha Pickard, widow of the late Victor Pickard, former residents of 
this city, died at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Breckon, in Ionia, Thursday 
night at 11:30 o’clock at the age of 56 years, following an illness of some 
months duration.  Funeral services were held Sunday afternoon at 2 ‘clock at 
the Breckon home.  Victoria Rebekah lodge of this city, of which she was a 
member, attended in a body.  The remains were taken to Lake City, passing thru 
this city on the first train on Monday morning.  They were interred beside 
those of her husband who died several years ago.  Six children survive, 
Marshal, of Haymarsh; Mrs. James Hill of Sheridan; Mrs. Jessie Trimble of 
Peoria, Ill; Harold Pickard, of Cadillac and Bruce and Norah Pickard of this 
city.  A brother, Riley Minor of St Thomas, Ontario and a sister, Miss Nina 
minor of this city also survive.  Mrs. Pickard lived in this city for many 
years occupying the Belding farm in the northeast part of the city for a long 
time.  She and her husband were prominent in Odd Fellow and Rebekah circles 
while here and her many friends will be pained to learn of her passing, even 
though her death was expected for some time past.

Banner News – Wednesday, 9 March 1921
WE WERE IN ERROR:  When we stated that the Rebekah lodge of this city attended 
the funeral of Mrs. Bertha Pickard, at Ionia, in our last issue, we were 
misinformed according to a prominent member of the order who says that we 
should correct the error as only five Rebekahs attended the funeral.  This 
lady says that the order has 175 members and that had more attended the 
funeral, the statement as it appeared would have been all right, but that as 
it was it was misleading and should be corrected.
