                             JOHN B. CHRISTIE DEAD
              This Esteemed Ionian Finally Succumbs to Consumption.

John B. Christie died at 6:30 o'clock Wednesday, at his home, 356 Lafayette 
street. He had been confined to the house for four months, the fatal disease of 
consumption finally claiming its reward.

Mr. Christie was born in Dundee, Scotland, March 10, 1848, and on Nov. 27, 
1870, was married at Fort Wayne, Ind., to Mrs. Christine who, with three 
children survive him. Of the union there were three sons, Charles, now located 
at Ft. Scott, Kas,; Will, who died in June 1897, and Walter, of this city, 18 
years of age; also one, daughter, Miss Mamie, 15 years of age. 

Mr. Christie was a man highly esteemed by every Ionian. For a number of years 
he was foreman of the machine works at the Pere Marquette shops, having lived 
in Ionia for 13 years past. He was an honorable, upright citizen, whose death 
is greatly deplored.

Mr. Christie was a member of the A. O. U. W., and the Court of Honor, and was 
enrolled as a consistent member of the Church of Christ. The great bereavement 
of the family is fully realized by their many friends, who extended sympathy in 
their sad hour.

The funeral will be held Sunday.

The Ionia Sentinel - Thursday, June 7, 1900
We take this method of thanking our kind friends and neighbors who were so kind 
to us during the long illness and death of my husband. It is the only way we 
can reach all. Words or space cannot express our kind feeling for those who 
showed so much kindness and sympathy in our sad bereavement. We kindly thank 
the Ancient Orders of United Workmen and the Court of Honor and the employees 
of the car shops for their kindness.
