Ionia Daily Standard, 23 Nov 1897

The funeral services for Mrs. George P. Pickhaver were held at the family 
residence this morning, and were attended by a large number of friends, the 
house being filled.  The services were conducted by Rev. Mr. Urch, pastor of 
the M. E. church, who preached in an earnest, impressive manner words fitting 
the occasion.  The music was by Mrs. Horrigan and Miss Scotford.  Many floral 
tributes attested the feelings of sympathetic friends who mourned with the 
family.  Some of the floral pieces were harp from the different millinery 
houses of the city; a panel of roses from employes in store of deceased; a 
panel of lilies from Royal Arcanum; also several pieces from personal friends.

The remains were taken on the noon train to Grand Rapids, en route to Menden, 
the bereaved husband being accompanied on his journey by Mr. and Mrs. H. C. 
Clark.

Deceased has been a long time resident of this city, most of the time as 
proprietor and manager of one of the leading millinery stores.  She was a 
business woman of marked aptitude, possessing qualities that secure confidence 
and success.  At the same time, she won the highest esteem of her associates in 
the business, who are among the very sincere mourners, and, except her 
immediate family friends, will most miss her.

She has been in very poor health for some years, waging a heroic conflict with 
the most dire and relentless of diseases, fighting against hope, but 
maintaining a wonderful patience and courage to the last.
