The Lake Odessa Wave, Thursday, December 9, 1926


Quiet and retired in his nature, John Bainbridge was highly respected by the 
elderly people of the village, especially the men companions of his age.  He 
lived several years on his farm northeast of this village.  He was tenderly 
cared for in his declining health by his faithful wife.

John N. Bainbridge was born in Seneca county, New York state, October 5, 1849, 
and died at his home in Lake Odessa December 3, 1926, aged 77 years, one month 
and 28 days.  

At the age of five years he came with his parents to Galesburg, Michigan.  He 
was united in marriage on December 30, 1874, to Harriet Rossetta Gates.  To 
this union was born one daughter, Bertha May, who died at the age of three 
years.  He engaged in farming until 1914, when he moved to Lake Odessa.  He 
was of a quiet nature, a kind husband and neighbor and loved by all who knew 
him.  He leaves to mourn their loss, a wife, six nephews, four nieces and a 
host of friends.

Funeral services were held at the home Monday at one o’clock conducted by Rev. 
A. E. Gay.  Interment was made at Mount Hope cemetery, Middleville, Michigan.

Card of Thanks:

I wish to thank the friends and neighbors for flowers, also the singers and 
Rev. A. E. Gay for his comforting words, for all other acts of kindness shown 
me during the sickness and burial of my husband.  

Mrs. Rose Bainbridge
