FINAL RITES FOR IONIAN IN VERMONT
Mrs. George H. Snow Left Ionia Monday for Former Home with Body of Her Husband.

Leaving Monday afternoon on the 1:20 train for Ludlow, Vt., Mrs. George H. Snow 
for the second time within two months accompanied one of her immediate family 
back to the old home for burial. The trip this time forces her to lay away the 
last one of her own family leaving her only cousins. Her trip Monday with the 
body of her husband who died Saturday morning after a few hours of  illness, 
was made just two months after the interment of her only child Raymond, who 
died August 26. It is thought that grief over the death of his son hastened the 
death of Mr. Snow. 

This is the fifth time within five years that Mr. Snow has had to give up some 
one near to her. She has made four long trips to face the sorrowful duty. The 
death of a cousin, Lillian Hoffman of Norwich, Conn., a few years ago was 
followed by the death of Mrs. Snow’s mother, Mrs. Theresa Rush, of Longwood, 
Fla., and an aunt, Mrs. John Wilson, of Sterling, Mass. Mrs. Snow made trips 
south and east on these two latter occasions and has been called upon twice 
this late summer to go east for the burial of her husband and her son. She was 
accompanied Monday by Miss Doris Simmons, of Ionia.

Funeral services were conducted Monday morning at 10 o’clock by Dr. Paul L. 
Stewart at the Stebbins funeral home with members of the Masonic order. H.H. 
Robb, E.W. Krambrink, Elmer Cowan, Fred J. Owens, Henry Voelker, and H.R. Ely 
serving as bearers. 

Mr. Snow was a member of the Masonic order and its members acted as escort for 
the funeral party from the funeral home to the station. The Masonic order will 
meet the train when it arrives in Ludlow Tuesday and will accompany the funeral 
party to the cemetery and carry out Masonic burial rites. 

Those from out of town attending the services Monday were Mr. and Mrs. Marx 
Kristek and Mr. and Mrs. Steven J. Kaiser of Flint; Mr. and Mrs. William 
Holliday and Mrs. George Smith of Lansing, and Mrs. Susan Reed of Birmingham.
