Belding Banner – Thursday, 2 September 1897
Jerry Bricker’s long illness was terminated (unreadable).  He possessed a 
wonderful constitution and not until a few hours before breathing his last did 
he lose consciousness.  He had made every arrangement for the final 
dissolution and the burial service was carried out as he requested.  Mr. 
Bricker was much respected and had many friends in this city and vicinity.  He 
was 67 years old having been born in Ohio in 1830.  He located in Boston 
township with his wife soon after the close of the war where he was in the 
lumber business for a time and also run a sawmill.  In 1870 he came to Otisco 
and worked a farm and five years later moved to Belding engaging in the 
mercantile business which he conducted until succeeded by his son, W. F. 
Bricker.  Mr. Bricker was a member of the Masonic fraternity and also the 
order of Eastern Star, and an honorable, upright man.  The funeral service and 
burial was in accordance with Masonic rites.  Hon. L. V. Moulton of Grand 
Rapids made the address at the Congregational church, Rev. B. V. Child 
assisting in the service.  His remains were laid to rest in the old cemetery 
by the side of those of his wife who died several years ago.
Conrad Bricker and wife, David Bricker and wife of Ft. Wayne, Ind., John 
Bricker and wife and Nicholas Brew of Swan, Ind., brothers of the late Jerry 
Bricker were in attendance at the funeral Saturday.
