John Jacob Wurster, 79 years old, died at his home on West Washington street, 
Sunday evening, May 27, at 6 o’clock, after an illness of three months.  Mr. 
Wurster was born in Germany in 1854 and came to this country when he was 8 
years of age, living in Ann Arbor for a short time before coming to Ionia 
about 60 years ago.  He was married 54 years ago, they being the first couple 
to be married in the Evangelical Lutheran church after it was built and 
dedicated.  They built their home on 436 West Washington street over 40 years 
ago and have lived there since.  Mrs. Wurster’s death occurred on May 26, 
1932.  Since that time their youngest daughter, Mrs. Herbert C. Hall, of 
Chicago, has been staying with her father and caring for him.  Mr. Wurster was 
the last of the family of six children.  He was a member of the Evangelical 
Lutheran church, and had always been a faithful and devoted father to his 
family.

Surviving are three daughters, Mrs. E. C. Bowlby, of Benton Harbor; Mrs. Frank 
E. Hall and Mrs. Herbert C. Hall, of Ionia.

Funeral services will be held from the home on Washington street, Tuesday 
afternoon at 3 o’clock.  Rev. Father E. G. White will conduct the service.  
Burial at the family lot beside his wife, Highland Park cemetery.
