   Abel T. Bywater, well-known local pioneer, passed away at his home here Saturday.
 He had been ill for some 
little time, but his death was undoubtedly hastened by that of his wife who preceded
him on February 11. The 
funeral was held from the United Brethren church Monday afternoon, Rev. G. W.
Bonebrake, pastor, 
preaching. The remains were interred in Lakeside cemetery.

   Mr. Bywater was one of our real pioneers, having lived in this section for many
years.  He led a consistent, 
christian life, and was thoroughly liked and respected by the entire community.  He
leaves four children: Mrs. 
Wm. Shepard of Lake Odessa, Mrs. Julia Smith of Whitmore Lake, Geo. Bywater of
Hastings and Freeman 
Bywater of Grand Rapids; three brothers: William Bywater of Portland. T. L. Bywater
of Sherman City and John 
Bywater of Rudyard; two sisters: Lucy Tissue of Fruitport and Penton of Clear Lake,
Iowa.

   The obituary will appear next week.
