The Ionia Sentinel-Standard, Thursday, December 18, 1947
Military funeral services were conducted at the grave Wednesday afternoon for 
John Maurice Rivett of Ionia, World War II veteran, who died suddenly during 
the night Saturday.

The Company H. firing squad under command of Capt. William Crowley, commanding 
officer of the Ionia company of the Michigan national guard, fired three 
volleys over the grave at Highland Park cemetery, and a bugler sounded taps.  
A full Masonic funeral followed the military rites at the graveside, with Bert 
Fox, representative of the Masonic order in charge.

The Rev. Fr. Everett Moore, pastor of the Episcopal church, conducted the 
service at the St. John’s Episcopal church.  Bearers were Edwin White, Jack 
Mann, James Banhagel, Charles Boughey, Willis Johnson and Joseph Grace, all of 
Ionia.
