Hubert R. Bookey, 60, widely known farmer in Grattan township, Kent county, was 
found dead about 7 a.m. Sunday at his home.  He had arisen as usual and had 
gone outdoors and was found a short time later.  Although Mr. Bookey had 
suffered with a heart ailment some five years, he had been in usual health and 
had been doing his usual farm work.  Coroner Dr. T. W. Bloxsom of Grand Rapids 
stated that a heart attack was the cause of death.

Mr. Bookey was born Oct,. 26, 1889, son of the late Richard and Margaret 
Bookey, on a farm near his recent home, 5906 Ashley Ave.  With the exception of 
about four years that he operated a farm in Ronald township, Ionia county, Mr. 
Bookey had resided in the neighborhood where he died.

Funeral services will be held Wednesday afternoon at the Ashley Baptist Church 
of which he was a member.  The Rev. H. S. Ellis will officiate and burial will 
be made in the family lot at Ashley Cemetery.

Surviving besides the widow, the former Francis Foy of Grattan, is a son, 
Edward Bookey, who resides near the family home; two brothers, Tom and John 
Bookey, and five grandchildren, all living in the same community on adjoining 
farms.
