Alonzo Justin 

   Alonzo Justin died Feb. 23, 1923, at his home west of the river, in the 
city of Gladwin, having been in poor health several years. Alonzo Justin was 
born at St. Clair, Mich., Oct. 20, 1844 and was aged 78 years, four months and 
three days. When 17 years old he enlisted in the Eighth Michigan Cavalry where 
he was thrown from his horse and seriously injured. Although his health was 
never good he followed the occupation of farming until 10 years ago when he 
left the farm and moved to town. He was married March 13, 1870, to Miss Fannie 
Gardner of Speaker, Sanilac county, Michigan. 
   To this union were born six children, Mrs. Hattie Hillaker of Argyle, 
Sanilac county, Michigan, Mrs. Minnie Hillaker of Smith Creek, Gladwin county, 
Herbert Justin of Gladwin, Mrs. Ella Collins of Flint, Mrs. Nina Wolf of 
Highland Park, Detroit, and Mrs. Fannie Turner of Gladwin, who survive him 
with his wife; 15 grandchildren and seven great grandchildren. He was a kind 
and loving husband and father and an honored and respected citizen. Funeral 
services were held at the home Tuesday afternoon conducted by Rev. E. T. 
Smith. 
   Today a grief our hearts would rend, Today shall sleep beneath the sward, 
The husband, father and the friend. Nor call for aid was made in vain, His 
generous heart with pity filled, He shared our joys our grief and pain, The 
fears of youth with love he stilled, His blood has damped his country's soil, 
He bore his struggles in the fight, And through a life of honest toil, He gave 
his best, his loyal might.
