The Ionia Daily Sentinel, Wednesday, July 3, 1918
Leonard Dows for fifty years a resident of Ionia, died last night at his home 
on Lytle street after a brief illness.   He was 70 years of age and leaves 
besides his widow five children.  Mrs. J. A. Mountain and Miss Molly Dows of 
Detroit, Mrs. J. W. Hansen of Belding, Pearl of Ionia, and John of Grand 
Rapids.  The funeral service will be held from the residence, 133 Lytle, 
Friday afternoon at 2:30 with interment in Highland cemetery.  Mr. Dows was a 
victim of Pyorrhea and consequent systemic poisoning.  On Tuesday he submitted 
to the extraction of his teeth and apparently rallied but his system was 
enfeebled by the long encroachment of the disease and his strength failed to 
endure.  He has been well and favorably known here for many years as an 
untiring worker, conscientious in the performance of his labors and a good 
citizen.  He was born in the Netherlands and at age 20 years took up his 
residence in this city.  Rev. M. L. Marshall will officiate at the funeral.
