Ionia County News, 22 Jan 1942

Frank Adgate, life long resident of Ionia county and prominent Orange township 
farmer for many years, died at his home in Portland at 2:30 Monday morning, 
January 19.  Although he had been failing in health for more than a year, he 
was seriously ill only about three weeks before his death.

Mr. Adgate was born in Berlin township 83 years ago, the son of William and 
Sarah (Tuttle) Adgate.  He lived at the home farm until his marriage to 
Elizabeth Fleming in October, 1883.  At that time they moved to a farm in 
Orange township where they lived until going to Portland about 25 years ago.

Mr. Adgate is survived by the widow and two sons, Maurice, of Washington, D.C. 
and Elmer of Lyons; three sisters, Mrs. Phoebe Scheurer, Lyons; Mrs. Mary Taft, 
Ionia township, and Mrs. Arton Benedict, Hall street, Ionia; one brother, Lewis 
Adgate of Ionia township, and several grandchildren.  A brother, John Adgate, 
of Ionia, and a sister, Mrs. W. Hall, of Eugene, Oregon, are deceased.

Largely attended funeral services were held from the Congregational church in 
Portland Wednesday afternoon at two o’clock.  Bearers were Chauncey Jordan, 
Nicholas Lawless, Allen Hughes, Verl Tyler, George Smith and William Toan, all 
members of Portland Grange.  Burial was in Balcom cemetery.
