The Ionia County News, Thursday, May 16, 1929
Monday afternoon funeral services were held at the home of William Woods, 622 
Lafayette street, for Mrs. Woods who died late Friday evening after an illness 
which had endured since she suffered an attack of influenza several months 
ago.  Her death brought to a close 54 years of happy married life for the 
venerable couple, a life filled with the utmost in devotion, one to the other, 
and of peace and contentment such as is the lot of but few couples.  Her death 
came as a distinct shock even to those who knew of her ill health.  Thursday 
she was able to be downtown and Friday was about the yard at her home as she 
loved to be in the springtime.  At night she was taken ill and died about 
midnight.  

She was born in Pennsylvania December 28, 1842.  At the close of the Civil War 
she came to Michigan and in 1874 was united in marriage to her husband, who 
survives her.  They came to Ionia in 1880 and have resided here since that 
time.  Mrs. Woods up to the very last days of her life was actively interested 
in church and fraternal work and took prominent parts in the affairs of the 
various groups to which she belonged.  She was a member of the Pythian Sisters 
until that order disbanded here; belonged to the Women’s Relief Corps and the 
Ladies of the Macabees and was loyal and active worker for the Baptist church 
of which she was a member.  Greater than these things, however, were her 
faithful and loving devotion to her family and home and her warm friendship 
and splendid qualities as a neighbor.

Besides her husband, she is survived by three sons, John G. Bullers, Chicago; 
William Bullers, Warsaw, Indiana, and Alfred Bullers, Ionia and two 
stepchildren, Mrs. Lulu Bodie, Columbus City, Indiana and William H. Woods, 
Mishawaka, Indiana.

Rev. F. J. Fitch, pastor of the Baptist church officiated at the funeral.  
Burial was in Highland Park cemetery.
