The funeral service for Miss Clara Robb at M.E. Church, on Sunday afternoon, 
was very largely attended.  The society of Christian Endeavor of the Church of 
Christ, and Epworth League of the M.E. Church joined and attended in a body, 
out of respect for two brothers:  Charles who is a member of the C.E., and 
Herbert, who is a member of the E.L.  The sermon was by Rev. G. K. Berry of the 
Church of Christ.  The vocal music was by Mrs. Tunison, Miss Katie Spencer; 
Messrs. Horace Peck and Thane Benedict.

childhood, and previous to moving to Ionia, lived in Grand Rapids, where she 
joined the M.E. Church while under the pastorate of Rev. A. M. Gould.  She was 
a member of the Epworth League, Y.W.C.A., Good Templars Lodge No. 814, and was 
a worker in Sunday school.

The floral remembrances were many and beautiful.  A large pillow of the 
choicest greenhouse flowers was sent from the Grand Rapids lodge of Good 
Templars; A panel of white and pink carnations from Mr. Parmeter and Miss 
Jackman, Grand Rapids; the Junior Christian Endeavor of Church of Christ, panel

Friends at the funeral from out of town were Mrs. Herrington and son, Mrs. and 
Mrs. H. M. Huff of Grand Rapids.  A daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Robb who lives in 
Huron, South Dakota, was detained by sickness.  Father and mother, two 
brothers, a sister and adopted sister mourn the loss of one so true.
