Gladwin County Record dated 01-16/1919 Column - 4 Page - 5
RAYMOND---Walter Merritt Raymond, the youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. A. A. 
Raymond of Tobacco township, was born Feb. 25, 1899, and departed this life 
Jan. 9, 1919, aged 19 years, 10 months and 15 days. On the morning of his 
death he started for Arkansas, in the car with Mr. Blades' stock and household 
goods, and it was while this car was being switched at Coleman, that he met 
his death.
   From childhood up he has always been a kind and obedient boy. He finished 
his common school education and started on a high school course when his 
nerves failed and he was compelled to give this up. He then decided on staying 
on the farm with his parents where he was always a great help to them. His 
beautiful, untarnished character endeared him in the hearts of all who knew 
him. 
   He leaves a vacant place in the home, Sunday school and community, but we 
feel our loss is Walter's gain. He leaves to mourn his death, father, mother, 
one brother, Wesley of the U.S. Marines, one sister, Hazel, one grandfather, 
one grandmother, several aunts and other relatives, and host of friends. He 
was a member of the Dale Arbor of A.O.O.G.
   Funeral services were held at the Dale church Jan. 14, at 2 p.m., conducted 
by Rev. Lawrence, assisted by Rev. Mitts. Interment in the Dale cemetery.
