Ionia Standard, 20 Aug 1889

John Adgate, one of the best known, amiable and respected citizens of Berlin 
township, died on Monday, aged 70 years.  He had been sick about three weeks 
with typhoid fever.  The funeral services were held Tuesday afternoon, and 
interment was in Balcom cemetery.

Mr. Adgate was one of the early settlers of this county, coming here in 1840, 
and locating in Ionia township, near where is now the Tuttle cemetery.  He was 
twice married, his first wife being Catherine Taft, by whom he leaves two 
surviving children, Chester, a resident of Berlin, and Luany, wife of Riley 
Harwood, of Berlin.  After his wife’s death, he married Rosetta Briggs, of 
Campbell, by whom he leaves three surviving children, Wm. D., a farmer in 
Berlin, and Philo and Milo, twins of mature age, but unmarried and living on 
the homestead farm.  His second wife died about five years ago.  he also leaves 
one brother, William, of Ionia township.

He was a man of estimable qualities, and naturally numbered among his friends a 
wide circle of neighbors.
