Belding Daily Bee, 5 Aug 1903

In regard to the article in last week’s issue of an Ionia paper, entitled “Died 
on a couch.” Belding friends think it no more than fair to say a word for Mr. 
Stahlin who is now in South Dakota.  He did not desert his wife six months 
ago.  Over six years ago Mrs. Stahlin took their infant son and left the home 
of his parents where they were staying while he was away at work.  Since then 
they have not lived together.  During this time they were divorced and more 
than a year ago he was married to a very estimable young lady of Belding.  
Before going west Mr. Stahlin called at the home of his little son and wished 
to take and care for him, this was denied him.  Mr. Staley is a man highly 
respected in Belding. 

The following was printed in last week’s issue of an Ionia paper:

Died on a Couch

Mrs. Esther Brown Who Came Here Monday from Belding.

Mrs. Esther Brown, a woman 66 years of age died at 12 o’clock last night of 
heart failure after an illness of one hour.

Mrs. Brown, her daughter Mrs. Gertie Stahlin and two little children came here 
from Belding and moved into the upright of the first house south of the 
waterworks on Jackson St.  Mrs. Stahlin who says she was deserted by her 
husband six months ago came here to find work and the grandmother to take care 
of the babies.  They are in destitute circumstances, were sleeping on the floor 
down stairs.  The woman died upon the couch.

Dr. Logan was called and pronounced it a case of heart trouble probably 
aggravated by the effort of moving here and getting settled.  Supervisor Covert 
has the matter in charge for the city.  The funeral will be held Saturday and 
burial probably in Highland Park cemetery.

Mrs. Brown has no relatives here but she has a brother in Belding and another 
in Eaton Co.  The husband of Mrs. Stahlin is said to be in Kansas.
