Ionia Daily Sentinel, Thursday, November 13, 1941
Funeral services for Bert Baxter were held Saturday afternoon at the home of 
his brother, Fred M. Baxter with the Rev. Dunbar of the Ionia Methodist church 
officiating.  Mr. Baxter's early life was spent in this community, but later 
he went to Grand Rapids, where he lived and where his family was raised.  
About six years ago he came here to live, residing in the Fred H. Baxter farm 
home west of the Center school and now owned by Earnest Baxter.  Living alone 
as he did , a few weeks ago he decided to buy the small library building which 
is located on Main Street here and live there where in case of sickness or bad 
roads he would not be alone.  About four weeks ago he moved in and his 
daughters from Grand Rapids came out with their electric sewing machine and 
made curtains and fixed his little home up very cozy and Mr. Baxter was indeed 
happy but the happiness was not to last.  He dropped dead last Thursday night 
and it was about 18 hours before he was found.  He leaves six children, Mrs. 
Frank Malone, Mrs. Joe Hendler, Mrs. Henry Hopp, Harlo and Lyle all of Grand 
Rpaids and another son, Fay, who resides in Wabash, Minn.  and 11 
grandchildren.  The three sons and three sons-in-law acted as bearers.  
Interment was in Palo cemetery.
