Ionia County News, 16 Oct 1941

Mrs. B.E. Rickert passed away Saturday morning, October 11, after a lingering
illness. Martha, daughter of Robert and Lucinda Hale Howe, was born in Orleans
township, November 22, 1871.  She spent her early life there and September 27, 1892
she was married to Brockley E. Rickert and they located on the farm home in Keene
township where they lived until December, 1903.  At that time they came to Saranac
and bought a home where they have since lived.  Three children were born to this
union, two of whom have passed on, Myrtie Courter and Hazen Rickert.

Mrs. Rickert was a charter member of the Saranac Camp of Royal Neighbors and was an
ardent worker as long as she was well enough to carry on.  January 7, 1937 she
suffered a stroke rendering her helpless for the rest of her life and two years
before that she was a semi-invalid, always patient and kind.

She is survived by her husband, Brockley, one daughter, Nola Adgate, two sisters,
Mrs. Mary Rickert of Keene and Mrs. Nora Post of Nunica; four grandchildren, Richard
Courter, Rodney, Bruce and Brenton Adgate.  Funeral services were held from the home
of Mr. and Mrs. Max Adgate in Berlin township.  Rev. E.H. Humphrey officiated and
burial was on the family lot in Saranac.
