The Ionia Daily Sentinel-Standard, Wednesday, September 28, 1938
Mrs. John Rivett, 61, of 233 Adams street, died at 3:30 o’clock Wednesday 
morning following an illness of nearly a year.  She had been seriously ill 
during the past week.

Mrs. Rivett was born in London, England, February 5, 1877, the daughter of Mr. 
and Mrs. John MacGinnis.  May 30, 1893, she was married to John Rivett, also 
of London at the West Ham church, London.  A short time later the couple 
sailed to Canada where they lived for nearly eight years, first at Richtown 
and later at Windsor.

For nearly 30 years Mrs. Rivett has been a resident of Ionia city coming here 
from Windsor.  In 1927 John Rivett died.  Mrs. Rivett entered the University 
of Michigan hospital at Ann Arbor last June and a few weeks later submitted to 
a major operation.  She returned to Ionia a few weeks ago and was regarded as 
showing improvement.  Her condition became critical last week.

Surviving are four sons, William of Detroit; Robert of Ionia, and Maurice and 
Arthur at home.  Several brothers and sisters living in London, England also 
survive.  Among other relatives surviving are Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Rivett of 
Mac..(illegible)…Ontario, Canada, and a number of nieces and nephews.

Funeral services are to be held from the St. Johns Episcopal church of Ionia 
Friday afternoon at 3 o’clock with Rev. Earl Kneebone, pastor of the St. 
John’s Episcopal church, officiating.  A short prayer service will be held 
from the home, 233 Adams street, at 2:30 o’clock Friday afternoon.  Interment 
will be at Highland Park cemetery, east of Ionia.
