The Ionia Standard, Friday, March 19, 1897
Miss Rose Vizard, the lovely and accomplished daughter of Mr. and Mrs. M. 
Vizard, died Friday eve., of consumption.  She was aged 18 years and had been 
ill about a year and a half; it was in the latter part of ’95 that a 
feebleness became apparent and took her from her school studies.  Deceased was 
a popular favorite in a wide circle of Ionia young people and her cheerful 
demeanor will often be recalled by many with real pleasure.

The funeral services for Miss Rose Vizard were largely attended at the Church 
of SS Peter & Paul Monday a.m., the auditorium being filled beyond its seating 
capacity.  The audience, too, was a noticeably sympathetic one.  Former 
schoolmates and young friends of deceased were present in large numbers, as 
well as sympathizing friends by the score of the bereaved parents.  Rev. Fr. 
Fierle read the solemn ritual service of the Catholic church, and at the close 
offered words of consolation and comfort to the bereaved family and likewise 
an admonition to all present to make true use of the life here.  He paid a 
fitting tribute to the deceased girl, whose sweet and pure life was recognized 
and admired by all who knew her.

The bearers were: Frank Carten, Fred Wortman, Will Kenny, Eugene Kerstetter, 
Cornelius Kelleher, Luke McGowan, young friends of deceased.  Interment was in 
Catholic cemetery.
