   Not alone in his home, but in the business activities of the village, Leonard
Anway was a man beloved and 
respected.  Consequently when the news came Monday morning that he had died that
morning in the Grand 
Rapids hospital, man after man said, "That is too bad."  Every one seemed to deeply
regret his early 
departure.
   In his dealings at the garage he was just and fair and on the mail route his
patrons greatly appreciated his 
kindness and courtesy.
   He was especially noted for his kindness in his family where the little family
were devoted to each other.
   The last reports from him previous to the fatal one were encouraging and although
his condition was so very 
serious, his many friends lived in hopes of his recovery.
   The funeral was very largely attended at him home Wednesday afternoon, Rev. A. H.
Lash of the 
Congregational church giving the address.  A quartette consisting of Messrs. Geo.
Kart, S. W. Dann, L. T. 
Gilson and Merlin Morgan accompanied by Mrs. Gilson, furnished the music.
  Friends from out of town in attendance at the funeral were Bert Anyway and family
of Williamston; Roy 
Hulliberger and family and Mr. and Mrs. E. C. Braman of Dansville;  Mr. and Mrs.
Carl Anway and son of 
Lansing; Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Shepard of Detroit; Mrs. Earl Houghton and Mrs. J. L.
