The Ionia Sentinel-Standard, Thursday, May 26, 1932
Mrs. J. J. Wurster, 69, of 436 West Washington street, died at her home early 
Thursday morning following one week’s illness.  Funeral services will be 
conducted Saturday afternoon with prayer services at the home at 2 o’clock and 
services following at 2:30 in St. John’s Lutheran church.  Burial will be in 
Highland Park cemetery.  Rev. B. H. Succop will be in charge.

Mrs. Wurster was born in Germany and came to Ionia with her parents, Mr. and 
Mrs. Carl Neumann, when she was 13 years of age.  She had resided here 
continuously since and in the home where she died, for 36 years.  She was 
confirmed in the Lutheran faith in Germany and had been a continuous 
worshipper all these years.  She and Mr. Wurster were united in marriage 
December 17, 1880, in St. John’s Lutheran church, being the first couple to 
say their marriage vows in the new edifice.   Although devoted to her church 
she led a quiet life spending her time with her religious activities and in 
devotion to her home, creating many beautiful touches in it by her own 
beautiful handicraft. 

Mr. Wurster survives.  She also leaves three daughters, Mr. E. C. Bowlby, of 
Benton Harbor; Mrs. Herbert C. Hall, of Chicago, and Mrs. Frank E. Hall, of 
Ionia, and a sister, Mrs. Florentine Haynor, of Ionia.
