The Lowell Ledger, Thursday, October 27, 1927


John Cary, son of R. I. and Susan Cary, was born at Omer, Seneca County, Ohio, 
June 17, 1839, and died at his home in Boston Township Tuesday, October 18, 
1927, aged 88 years.  He was married to Phoebe A. Tapham, Dec. 19, 1866.  Two 
children were born to them, Flora Pearl, who died in infancy and Samuel Y. 
Cary, of Boston township.

Mr. Cary was a soldier in the Ionia army.  He enlisted in the fall of 1861 in 
the Third Ohio Volunteer Calvary and served four years until the war closed.  
His regiment fought in the battles of Corinth, Murfreesboro, Lookout Mt., and 
Missionary Ridge.  He was with Sherman during a part of his famous march and 
campaign in Georgia.

After the war he returned to civilian life, married, and soon after moved to 
Odessa township in Ionia county, where he resided for eight years.  He came to 
Boston township forty-nine years ago and settled on the farm where he has 
since resided.   He has been since early life a member of the Methodist 
church.  His life has been long, useful, patriotic, and honorable.  

He is survived by his only son, Samuel Y. Cary, three sisters, Mrs. Hannah 
McPherson, Kansas City, Mo., Mrs. Jennie James, Ann Arbor; Mrs. Jessie Hatton, 
Woodland; two grandsons and a number of nephews and nieces, Mrs. Cary having 
preceded him in death Sept. 3, 1923.

The funeral service was largely attended and was held at the home Friday 
afternoon, Oct. 21, Rev. A. T. Cartland, officiating. He was buried in the 
South Boston cemetery with military honors in charge of representatives of the 
American Legion, of Lowell.
