The Ionia Daily Sentinel-Standard, Tuesday, July 5, 1955


Donald Rochester, 51, a graduate of the Ionia high school in 1924, died Sunday 
while on a vacation at Lake Charlevoix.  His home was in Garden City Park, Long 
Island, N.Y., and he was secretary of the American Paper and Pulp association.

He was the eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. Sidney Rochester who resided on Lovell 
Place while living in Ionia in the 1920’s, where Sidney Rochester was a 
conductor for the Pere Marquette and later was employed as storekeeper at the 
Michigan Reformatory.

After graduating from Ionia high school, Donald went on to take his degree at 
Michigan State College and in 1928 went to Hoxieville, near Cadillac, as 
superintendent of schools.  After two years at Hoxieville he joined the 
educational division of the Michigan Conservation Department where he remained 
for eight years.

Surviving him are his wife, the former Elberta Kruger of Cadillac; a daughter, 
Dianne, of Saginaw; two sons, Paul and Phillip, of the home; two brothers, 
Arthur of Midland and Bernard of Sydney, Australia, and his father, Sidney, of 
Six Lakes.

Funeral services were attended Tuesday afternoon at Cadillac, where burial took 
place.
