The Ionia Daily Standard, Wednesday, February 2, 1898
There was a good attendance at the funeral of George Stevenson at the M. E. 
church this afternoon, the official board of the church attending in a body, 
showing in this way a proper respect to the faithful life of deceased.  Rev. 
Mr. Urch’s discourse was simple, tender with feeling, and altogether 
appropriate.  The music was by Mr. H. J. Horrigan and Miss Scotford.  The 
floral offerings were numerous and of unusual beauty, a triangle and cross 
piece being particularly noticeable.

The bearers were A. S. Wright, M. H. Amphlett, James Mains and Elias Reusch.  
Interment was in the city cemetery.

Deceased has been a faithful member of the M.E. church 65 years, and it is 
over half a century ago that he joined the church in this place.

George E. Stevenson, wife, and daughter, of Detroit, were here to attend the 
services.  Mrs. Barlett, the only surviving member of Jesse Stevenson’s 
family, was not able to come.
