The Ionia County News, Thursday, October 15, 1931

Ionia, October 8th—lacking but three months of reaching the century mark, 
Timothy Burtch, Ionia pioneer, civil war veteran and one of the last four 
members of William E. Borden post G.A.R. which one numbered three hundred 
comrades, died Wednesday at the winter home of his daughter, Mrs. Jay Mowerman 
of Miami, Florida.

Born in Chenango county, New York, he came to Michigan in 1854.  He enlisted 
in Company E, Fourth Michigan Infantry.

Notwithstanding his advanced age, Mr. Burtch never failed to walk downtown 
daily and his death was unexpected.  Surviving him are two children, Mrs. 
Mowerman and Harry Burtch of Ionia.

The remains will arrive here from Florida and will be taken to Bradley funeral 
home where services will be held Monday at two thirty with interment in Balcom 
cemetery.
