   Funeral services were held Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock at the Beaverton 
Church of the Brethren for John C. Rich, 80, year old pioneer resident of 
Gladwin county. Mr. Rich passed away Wednesday, Nov. 24, at the home of his 
daughter and son-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Ottomer McKimmy, following a month's 
illness. The son of Andrew and Magodeling Rich, he was born August 6, 1874 at

life here. On September 14, 1898 he was married to the former Miss Agnes Dow,

in Tobacco township for many years and served 12 years, from 1920 until 1932,

years ago, because of failing health the Richs moved to Beaverton where they 
resided until Mrs. Rich's death in January when he went to live with his 
daughter, Mrs. McKimmy, who survives him. He also leaves six grandchildren, 
one brother William Rich of Unionville; and one sister, Mrs. Emma Graf of Ann
