The Ionia Daily Sentinel-Standard, Tuesday, August 10, 1943

Lewis Hibbard, 52, a veteran of overseas duty in World War I, and for the past 
eight years a guard at the Michigan state reformatory in Ionia, was found dead 
of a heart attack in his hotel room in Jackson Tuesday morning.

Hibbard was transferred to the guard personnel at Jackson prison only six 
weeks ago after serving in Ionia continuously since 1935.  He had previously 
served one year as guard here from 1932 to 1933.

Born in Jackson county October 6, 1891, Hibbard had lived much of his early 
life in and about Hillsdale county.  He enlisted in the United States army 
July 17, 1917, and served overseas with the 389th motor transport as a 
corporal.  He was discharged in this country May 19, 1919.  Later he was 
conductor at Jackson of the Michigan United railways, an electric line.

He was a member of the Ionia home guard service company until he left Ionia 
six weeks ago.
