Lake Odessa Wave-Times  November 1, 1912

                                   OBITUARY
Edwin Daniel Bishop was born in Lancaster Pennsylvania, October sixth 1847. He 
was the son of John and Margaret Bishop; he had one brother Rufus who passed to 
the other side seventeen years ago. When a boy he joined the Methodist church in 
Lancaster. He came to Michigan in 1867; was married to Ellen Turner in December 
of that year and settled on his farm in Sebewa. In 1892 he moved to the farm in 
Woodland township which has since been his home and united with the M.E.church 
here under the pastorate of Rev. Nease. He has been a member of this church 
twenty years. Mr.Bishop's health has failed this summer but he was bedfast only 
three weeks. He leaves to mourn their loss the wife, six grandchildren and three 
daughters, Mrs.Charles Lapo, Mr. Frank Guy and Miss Reava at home.

Mr. Bishop has helped to make this part of the country what is now his farm, 
what it is from a new country covered with woods and dotted here and there with 
log houses. He was a prosperous up-to-date farmer setting the example of thrift, 
honesty and christian dealing. Although entreated by his children to leave the 
farm and hard work and move to town and take life a little less strenuous, still 
his best judgement kept him on the "dear old farm."

The funeral was held Sunday at M.E. Church where he loved to attend for twenty 
years. The sermon was by the pastor Rev. Thos.Laity ad the choir furnished the 
music and interment make in Lakeside.
