DEATH CLAIMS LILLIAN REUSCH

The wholly unexpected news was wired to Ionia shortly after 8:00 o’clock this 
morning, that Miss Lillian Reusch had just passed away in hospital in Grand 
Rapids, whence the report came on Tuesday that the patient was apparently 
better.

Miss Reusch returned home from the hospital some three weeks ago, but found it 
necessary to return.

Deceased was a very admirable lady, who had spent her entire lifetime in South 
Ionia, where she was born, and in Ionia city. For nearly twenty years she has 
been bookkeeper for the Marshall-Wright Lumber Co. Of her immediate family only 
two brothers survive; Rev. Moses H. Reusch of Jackson, Michigan, and Fred 
Reusch of Petoskey.

Her very congenial companionship will be greatly missed by a wide circle of 
friends.

The remains will be brought to Ionia for interment in the family lot in 
Highland Park cemetery, but the date and arrangements are not yet perfected.

OBITUARY – MISS LILLIAN REUSCH

Miss Lillian Reusch, who passes away at Blodgett Memorial Hospital, Grand 
Rapids, was born on October 31st, 1871, in the old homestead south of the old 
river bridge, in South Ionia. This was the family home until deceased was about 
seventeen years of age, when the family moved into the city, where she has 
since resided. Her schooling was all in the old Central High school building, 
where she nearly completed the High school course. She began her service with 
the Marshall-Wright Lumber Co., then the S. B. Gorham Lumber Co., in 1894, and 
has remained with this firm ever since.

She united with the Methodist Episcopal Church in her early teens, where she 
has given an active service. Her only immediate survivors are her two brothers, 
J. Frederick of Petoskey, and Rev. Moses E. of Jackson, Michigan, the latter 
recently moving back to Michigan from Iowa, where he spent fifteen years in the 
Methodist ministry, and is now pastor of Haven M.E. church, Jackson.

The remains were brought to Ionia on Wednesday evening, and the funeral service 
will be attended at the union street rooms on Friday morning at ten O’clock, 
the Rev. R.J. Slee, her pastor, officiating.
