Lake Odessa Wave Times, Aug 1916

Ira Anway, son of George and Sarah Jane Anway, was born in Seneca county, Ohio, 
December 30, 1852 and died about midnight of August 7, 1916, age 63 years, 7 
months, and 8 days.

At the age of three he came with his parents to Michigan, where they settled on 
the homestead just south of their present residence.  On this farm, his 
childhood days were spent and he grew to manhood, and assisted his father on 
the farm.

On the 4th day of May, 1874 he was united in holy wedlock to Miss Harriet 
Frantz, his now bereft and deeply sorrowing companion.  This happy union was 
blessed with three children, Mrs. Anna Cummins, who now resides on the old home 
farm, Mrs. Glennora Kloss, who resides near Ionia, and Bertha, who passed to 
the Great Beyond at the age of 23.

Together with these two living children he leaves a loving wife, one sister, 
Mrs. Alice Bower, of San Pedro, California, and four grandchildren and a host 
of relatives and friends.

In his passing Odessa loses a sterling man, and the community a kind, 
accommodating and courteous neighbor.  In him his companion loses an 
affectionate husband, the children a loving father, and his many friends a kind 
and true-hearted friend.

In July, 1914, he was quite suddenly taken with a stroke of paralysis and after 
the best of medical skill was administered he was taken to Butterworth 
hospital, Grand Rapids, and an operation was performed to removed a supposed 
obstruction in the stomach.  From this he rallied and partially regained his 
health so he could be around but, about three weeks ago he was again overtaken 
by the supposed same affliction, from which there seemed no help, and the 
Master called him on up higher to that land from whose bourne no traveler 
returns.
