The remains of W. D. Place were brought to Ionia from Grand Rapids this 
morning, for interment. Death took place on Wednesday, in hospital, where he 
had been for a number of weeks. Burial on Friday afternoon at 2 o'clock, Rev. 
W. K. Spencer, D. D., officiating. The funeral service will be attended from 
the old family homestead on Main street, Prairie Creek suburb, the house in 
which deceased was born 63 years ago, and whence his father, mother, and all 
the immediate family who have preceded him to the other shore, have been buried.

The will of W. Dallas Place filed in probate office bequeaths his estate to be 
equally divided between Harriet O'Neil, sister-in-law, Mrs. Marion Mann, 
Florence Place and Luella Place, nieces, and the children of Harry Place, 
nephew. The real estate is put down at $6,500, and the person al property at 
$4,000. There are a few small special bequests, and the remainder of personal 
is to be sold and proceeds applied on mortgage on real estate. A. E. Jackson is 
named as executor.

The funeral for William Dallas Place, at the old homestead, Friday afternoon, 
was largely attended, especially by old time residents. The floral tributes 
were many and fine. The discourse by Rev. D. Spencer was a high tribute to the 
character of deceased. He said in his long experience that this was the first 
time he had been called on to conduct funeral service in a home where this 
person was born, had lived all his life and reached so great an age as 63. The 
singing was by Mrs. E. Smith and Mrs. H. E. Spencer. The bearers were H. A. 
Rich, E. B. Hamilton, Jay Olmsted, Robert Carpenter, H. J. Voelker, and Samuel 
Kelly. Mr. and Mrs. Mann of Pittsburg were in attendance. Miss Florence Place 
did not get telegram in time.
