Belding Banner – Wednesday 25, August 1920
The death of Charles Broadhead occurred at his late home at the corner of 
Isabelle and Alderman Streets Thursday morning at five o’clock following a 
lingering illness caused by tuberculosis and other diseases.  Mr. Broadhead 
was severely injured on September 29th, 1919 when a log rolled over him while 
a work in the basket company yards and has been ill the greater part of the 
time since although his injury of nearly a year ago had nothing to do with his 
death.  The funeral was held on Sunday afternoon at 3 o’clock from the Free 
Methodist church and burial was in the old Belding Cemetery.  Relatives and 
friends from away who were in attendance at the funeral were:  Mrs. Frances 
Gratkowski, Grand Rapids; Mrs. Mary Rowley and son, Charles and Mr. and Mrs. 
George Graham of St. Louis; Mr. and Mrs. Charles Green, of Ashley; Orrin 
Lehmer and family of North Star; Mr. and Mrs. Hugh Kinney, of Pompeii and Mr. 
and Mrs. Birdsey H. Tyrell, of Ithaca.

Charles Wickham Broadhead was born in Newark Township, Gratiot County, July 
24, 1862.  He was the oldest son of John and Emily Broadhead.  He was married 
to Miss Clare Lehner, February 22, 1892 and to this union were born seven 
children:  Claude of Corunna; Helen, wife of Guy Lozo, Hazel, Ida Irene, 
Harriett and Isabelle at home.  He passed peacefully away August 19, 1920 
fully trusting in his Savior.  He leaves to mourn besides his devoted wife and 
children his aged mother, one brother at Alma; one sister at Ludington and one 
in Riverside, California, besides many friends.  He came to Belding 8 years 
ago the 2nd of June and has been employed in the basket factory ever since.  
He was a patient sufferer, always trying to wait on himself and never 
complained of his condition.  His funeral was held Sunday at the Free 
Methodist church, conducted by B. W. McKibben and his remains laid to rest in 
the Belding cemetery.

Passing out of the shadow, into a river bright,
Stepping behind a curtain, getting a clearer sight.
Passing out of the shadow, into eternal day,
Why do we call it dying, this sweet going away.
