The Ionia Daily Sentinel-Standard, Friday, April 2, 1948
Word was received early Friday by Mrs. Arthur James of Belding of the sudden 
death of her sister, Mrs. Madge A. Stoakes, of Detroit in a Detroit hospital 
Thursday evening.  Employed as a bookkeeper for the municipal employment 
agency, she was stricken with a cerebral hemorrhage while at work Thursday 
afternoon.

She was born in Grattan township March 13, 1900, and graduated from Belding 
high school in 1908.  She also was a graduate of MacLachlan Business 
university in Grand Rapids.  June 16, 1922 she married William J. Stoakes, a 
former Greenville resident in Detroit.  Mr. Stoakes resided in Detroit for the 
past 28 years.

She is survived by three sisters, Mrs. James of Belding, Mrs. Clarence…
(illegible)… and Mrs. Alfred Carahan of Arcadia, Fla.; and one brother, Henry 
Clemons of Lowell.

Funeral services will be held in Detroit Monday at 2:30 p.m. with interment in 
Detroit.


Additional Comments:
Note:  The obituary states she was born in 1900 and graduated from high school 
in 1908.
           This would appear to be in error but is typed exactly as printed.
