                         JARED BUTTON DEAD

One of Best Known Men In Campbell Township.

Died, on Friday evening, Dec. 10th, after an illness of only two days, Jared 
W.Button, for 18 years a resident of Campbell Township and a citizen well and 
favorably known.Funeral Was held at the Thornapple Church, Campbell,Rev. I.H. 
Mourer officiating, and the remains laid at rest in Clarksville cemetery the 
following Tuesday.

The death of Mr.Button was a great shock to the relative and friends and has 
cast a gloom over the entire Community, as he had been enjoying usual good 
health, at least to all outward appearances. On Thursday he attended an auction 
sale at Alvin Shepard's at Campbell, and was taken so suddenly ill that for the 
immediate time death seemed certain. Dr. Kiblinger was hastily called and kind 
hands moved him at his earnest request, to his home where he seemed to rally 
from  his shock. All was done that it was possible for medical skill and careful 
nursing to do, but he was past all earthly help and a few minutes before mid-
night Friday evening he breather his last.

Mr. Button was a strictly honest man careful in his daily life and dealings with 
his fellowmen. Being a plain practical man, he was  highly honored and respected 
by everyone. Being one among the few that never found time, or, at least never 
cared to discuss the objectionable qualities of others.

Mr.Button was born in Russel, Geauga Co.Ohio, May 29th, 1844. At the out-break 
of the Civil War he responded to his country's call to arms and joined the 105th 
Ohio Vol. Inf. being assigned to Co.F. and was transferred to the 171st Ohio 
National Guard. At the close of the war he returned to his home in Ohio and was 
married to Miss Emma Corliss in 1865. Death claimed his wife and three children. 
A short time after the death of his family he came to Michigan making his home 
with the Hewitt families, August 9, 1886, he was married to Miss Nora Champlin, 
to whom he proved a devoted husband.

The broken-hearted widow, one sister and two brothers and a host of friends and 
neighbors mourn the loss of a husband, brother and neighbor.
