Brownstown Banner - Wed 18 Mar 1908

M. B. SINGER
	Morse B. Singer, one of Jackson county’s most highly esteemed 
citizens, died at his home in Driftwood township, at an early hour Saturday, 
March 14, 1908, aged 69 years, 6 months and 7 days.
	Deceased was born in Miama county, Ohio, September 7, 1838. He spent  
his early life on a farm and came to Jackson county in 1856. On December 24, 
1861, he was united in marriage to Pauline Burcham, to which union were born 
seven children, viz: Albert M., Clarence W., James B., Olla. (deceased) 
Charles O., Edith Brown and Pauline Summa. His first wife having preceded him 
to the grave October 24, 1874, he was again married, September 27, 1877, to 
Selma Sontag, to which union were born eight children, viz: Emma Robertson, 
Myria, Morse B., Selma, Ira, Goldie, and two who died in infancy.
	The high esteem in which he was held was evidenced by the large crowd 
of sorrowing friends, who showed their respect to his memory, by attending the 
funeral which was conducted at the M. E. church at this place Monday morning, 
March 16th, and then followed his remains to their last resting place in the 
Vallonia cemetery. It was one of the largest gatherings ever witnessed in 
Vallonia upon an occasion of this kind.
	Mr. Singer was a farmer on an extensive scale, and by careful and 
strict attention to business principles he made a success of his vocation.
	He served the people of Driftwood township as trustee two terms. He 
was honorable in all his dealings and a great friend to the laboring class, 
who will miss him as much as any other class of people. He was a man whom the 
citizens of Driftwood township in general will greatly miss, as he was 
continuously striving to the best interest and welfare of his township. It was 
Driftwood first on all public improvements and enterprises that presented 
themselves. But not only will he be missed in Driftwood, but being a man of 
the highest integrity, and a loyal citizen to the county’s best interest at 
all times and under all circumstances, his death will be regretted by his 
hundreds of friends all over the county, who deeply sympathize with the widow, 
and eleven children and two sisters who survive him.
