Feb. 2, 1889 p. 1 George Bedford died at his home in Silver Creek township, Monday, January 28th, aged abut 75 years. His funeral took place yesterday forenoon and his remains were laid at rest in Indian Lake cemetery. Mr. Bedford was a native of England and emigrated to his country about 55 years ago and first settled at Syracuse, New York, where he remained a few years, when he got the western fever and removed to Michigan about fifty years ago and settled upon the lands he has since brought up from its state of nature to as finely cultivated land as is to be found in southwestern Michigan. He has generally enjoyed good health and was a hard working man. He has raised a large family who have grown up to be men and women who are highly respected by all who know them. He leaves a wife and seven children who deeply mourn his departure. (reprinted in Niles Democrat from Dowagiac Republican.)
