Lyons Herald, 8 Jan 1920

The ranks of the Civil War veterans are fast being thinned out, the latest from 
Lyons to answer the last long roll call being Michael Canty, father of Mrs. 
H.D. Kelley of this village, who passed away Tuesday noon at the home of a 
brother-in-law at Coopersville, where he had been making his home.

Michael Canty was born in the state of New York in 1842, and when the Civil War 
broke out joined regiment from there, with whom he served for the duration of 
the war.  In 1866 he came to Michigan and for many years made his home with his 
daughter in Lyons.  During the past year he has been in poor health, his last 
visit to Lyons being a month ago.  He was well liked wherever known, and his 
dry humor gained him quite a reputation and many friends.  He was Commander of 
the M.W. Dresser Post G.A.R. in Lyons for the past two years.  He is survived 
by a son and three daughters: Charles Canty of Jackson; Mrs. Philip Kraft of 
Minneapolis, Minn.; Mrs. Claude Barkman of Lake City; and Mrs. H.D. Kelley of 
this village.  Funeral services will be held Friday morning at ten o’clock from 
the home where he died in Coopersville, and burial will be made in the cemetery 
there.
