L. Smith died at 7 o’clock this morning, at her home in Chicago. The remains will arrive here tomorrow evening, and the funeral will take place Wednesday afternoon at the residence of Mrs. D. G. Smith. Deceased has not been well since the death of her daughter Blanche—her only child—about a year and a half ago, shortly before the family moved to Chicago, and it has been known for some time that she could not recover. Her maiden name was Ella M. Starkey, and she was a daughter of Henry Starkey of Evart. She lived in Ionia for a quarter of a century, and had a wide circle of friends here.
