The Ionia Daily Standard, Saturday, August 5, 1899

Noah Bishop, a well known pioneer resident of Easton township, died very 
suddenly of heart disease at 11:30 last night.  He was born in Western New 
York, Aug. 15, 1822, and was consequently very nearly 77 years old.  He came 
to Michigan in 1836, when only 14 years old, going to work on a farm in 
Oakland county.  In 1842 he came to Ionia county.  In 1845 he was married to 
Miss Ellen Madison, and three years later they settled on the farm where Robt. 
McKendry now lives, which he took up at the government price of $1.25 per 
acre.  His wife died during the past year.  They were not blessed with 
children.

Mr. Bishop enlisted in September, 1861, in Co. E., 1st Eng. & Mech., and 
served three years.  He was a good soldier and an honored and respected 
citizen, whose death removes another of the living ties that binds us to the 
pioneer age.

Mr. Bishop has known for some time what was liable to be the manner of his 
death, and had often talked about it.  Last night he entered his house, where 
Mr. and Mrs. Loucks are living as farm tenants, enquired what time it was, and 
almost immediately fell, being caught by Mr. Loucks.  His death was 
instantaneous.

Deceased was a prominent member of the Methodist Episcopal church, and the 
funeral services will be held at Easton church, at 1:30 p.m. Monday.
