The Ionia Sentinel-Standard, Monday, September 29, 1941

Funeral services for Mrs. James Vosper, 93, who died Sunday at 11 a.m. at her 
home on East Main street, will be held Tuesday afternoon at 2:30 p.m. from the 
residence.  Rev. Henry A. Hanson of St. John’s Episcopal church will officiate

Livonia Holmes Vosper was born August 23, 1848, in Utica, Michigan, the 
daughter of Sarah Ann Sell Holmes and Miranda Holmes of Holmesville, New 
York.  Her father died when she was still a small child, and her mother later 
married Walter Floate.  The family then lived at the Floate farm in Clinton 
county near Maple Rapids, Michigan.  As a young woman, Mrs. Vosper taught 
school in Saranac, and it was while she was teaching that she met James 
Vosper.  They were married in St. Johns on December 28, 1870.  For several 
years they lived on a farm east of Saranac, and about 1876 they moved to 
Ionia, where they continued to live for the remainder of their lives.  Mr. 
Vosper died in 1926.

Surviving are three children, Mrs. John B. Chaddock, of Ypsilanti; Zaidee B. 
Vosper, Chicago, and Richard Holmes Vosper; four grandchildren, Mrs. Paul E. 
Firden, John Vosper Chaddock, Mrs. Esther Chaddock Griffin and James Edward 
Vosper, and two great grandchildren, Suzanne Chaddock Griffin and Mary Jo 
Chaddock.
