Lucille had lived with her aunt and grandmother, Mrs. Emory Strong, for a number of years and was a student in the ninth grade of the Ionia High School. Though it had been known for some time that her heart was quite bad she had seemed to be as well as ever Friday evening when she retired. Wednesday evening she with her aunt, her grandmother, Mrs. Strong, and Mr. and Mrs. Orin Stone and daughter Lucy, attended grand opera at Grand Rapids Friday evening and attended the services at the Methodist Episcopal Church with Dr. Strong. About 3 o’clock this morning Dr. Strong noticed that Lucille, who was sleeping in an adjoining room to her own seemed to be breathing rather heavily and she at once went in with her. The little girl gasped a couple of times and was gone, never awakening from her sleep. Lucille was born in Easton township, May 10, 1908 and was the only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Strong. Besides her parents she is survived by four brothers, Emory Strong, Normand Strong, Eldon Strong, all at home and Maurice Strong who attends Albion College. She is also survived by her aunt, Dr. Bess Strong and her grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Emory Strong. Lucille attended the Sunday school at the Church of Christ. The funeral will be held from the residence of Dr. Strong Monday afternoon at 2 o’clock. Rev. C. J. Kruse of the Methodist Episcopal Church will officiate. Burial will take place in Highland Park cemetery.
