The Ionia Sentinel-Standard, Tuesday, July 6, 1937

Mrs. Nellie Terry, 72, wife of Samuel L. Terry, died at her home, East 
Washington street, late Sunday night after an illness of several months.  She 
was born in Plainfield, September 1, 1865, the daughter of David and Minerva 
Soper.  While she was still a young girl, her parents moved to Gowan where she 
attended school and later taught for several terms in the Big Dane settlement 
school.

On July 15, 1883, she was married to Samuel L. Terry at Oakfield.  Mr. Terry 
was a lumber inspector and for several years they moved about in northern 
Michigan, living at Gowan, Kalkaska, Alden, Pellston, Rexton and Sault Ste. 
Marie.  In 1916 they came here from Sault Ste. Marie, and have resided since 
at the old Terry homestead.

Surviving besides the husband are two sons, Claude C. Terry of Flint and 
Eselle Terry of Ann Arbor; three daughters, Mrs. Herman Kruger of Cadillac, 
Mrs. Myra Popendick and Mrs. Maiziebel Churchill of Ionia; one brother, 
Seymour Soper of Kalkaska; nine grandchildren and one great-grandchild.  Two 
of Mrs. Terry’s sisters had preceded her in death by only a few months.  Had 
she lived until July 15 she and Mr. Terry would have celebrated their 54th 
wedding anniversary.

Funeral services will be held Wednesday afternoon at 2 o’clock from the 
Seventh Day Adventist church on Pleasant street.
