The Ionia Daily Sentinel, Tuesday, February 23, 1909

The death of Mrs. Frank Pryor at her home in Danby township Tuesday was a 
great shock to the many friends of the young woman, who had been entertaining 
the hope that her condition was improving.  Her case had seemed hopeful to 
those who were closest to her.

The hour for the funeral was delayed until Sunday afternoon in order to give 
Mrs. Pryor’s sister, Mrs. A. B. Culver, time to get here.  Mrs. Culver left 
Aguascalientes, Mexico, at noon Tuesday.  She did not know that her sister had 
died until she reached Grand Ledge Saturday morning.  The funeral service was 
conducted by the Rev. F. C. Fistler and a large number of friends attended.

Mrs. Pryor’s name before her marriage was Estella Baldwin and she was a 
daughter of Rush P. Baldwin.  She was born in Sebewa in 1876, coming to 
Portland with her parents when she was a child.  She and Mr. Pryor were 
married in 1895 and for four years they lived on the old Pryor farm.

Four years later they went to heir own farm.  There they built their present 
home, one of the finest farm residences in the country.  Mrs. Pryor worked 
untiringly to make it as her mind had planned the ideal home and the interior 
woodwork was all finished by her own hands.

She enjoyed the best of health until last summer.  After consulting the local 
physicians it was decided to go to Chicago.  She and Mr. Pryor made the trip 
and she had seemed to be responding to the treatment.  Of late, however, she 
has been a great sufferer from boils and abscesses and the strain seemed more 
than her constitution could bear.

Two small girls are left motherless by her death—Marian, aged nine and 
Marguerite, aged six.  Mrs. A. B. Culver, of Mexico, is a sister and Lee 
Baldwin, a brother.  Mrs. Pryor was beloved by her friends and her death 
occasioned much sadness in Danby.
