Portland Observer, 5 Nov 1918

Mrs. Myron Belcher and her son George died at Grand Ledge last week of 
influenza.  They were former residents of Portland, having moved to Grand Ledge 
less than two years ago.  George Belcher, who was 17 years old, died first and 
his mother was so ill that she was not advised of his death.  His remains were 
taken to the home of a brother across the street.  A few hours later the mother 
was taken and a double funeral was held Friday.  Burial was in Grand Ledge.

George, who was born in Perrinton, was an industrious young man. While in 
Portland, he assisted Oscar Rice at Temple Theatre, giving close attention to 
his duties.  He had been working in a factory at Grand Ledge.

The father, two sisters and two brothers survive.  Miss Mildred Belcher lives 
at home and Mrs. Lillie Peake in Lansing.  Cecil and Floyd, the brothers, live 
in Grand Ledge.  Others of the family are ill.
