The Ionia Standard, Friday, October 12, 1888


Mrs. Cyrus Lovell died in this city about two o’clock on Saturday morning, 
after a short illness.  In her death this community loses a familiar character, 
one who had been identified with the growth and changes of this immediate 
vicinity for more than half a century.  The funeral ceremony was attended at 
the M.E. church on Monday afternoon.  Rev. Alfred Cornell preached the sermon, 
being assisted in the exercises by Rev. A. P. Moors.  The discourse was from 
Malachi III, 17: “And they shall be mine, saith the Lord of Hosts,” etc.  
Speaking of Mrs. Lovell, he said: “I have known her for half a century and 
never thought otherwise of her than as one of the most amiable Christian women 
of my acquaintance.”  Again he said: “Many of you know the quiet, unobtrusive, 
amiable character of the departed one better than I do.  There has never been a 
day that I haven’t had the most profound respect for her as a citizen and a 
Christian.”

Many old residents were in attendance, and marked expression of sorrow were 
visible on all sides.  The remains were deposited in the old cemetery.
