Sentinel-Standard - Monday, Nov. 21, 1932

This is the time of the year that we find ourselves grateful, said Dr. Paul L. 
Steward in speaking at the funeral services for Ruth Elmir Thomas, "for little 
children. The home is happiest where there are little children. But in time we 
find them transplanted from the home: they may grow up and leave the home, or 
they may be called from this life. Heaven must find much of its joy in the 
little children there." 

The services were conducted Sunday afternoon at the home of the parents. Mrs. 
and Mrs. Claude Thomas, in South Ionia. The child died Friday afternoon from 
burns received Monday when she fell on a gasoline stove, which ignited her 
clothing.

The bearers were Charles Thomas, Grover Thomas, George Thomas and Tony 
Emelander.  Burial was in the Balcom cemetery.
