Ionia Standard, 21 Aug 1885

Obituary

Walter Clements, aged nearly 18 years, was born in Canada, Oct. 21, 1867; his 
mother died when he was 3 years old; he then went to live with his grand 
parents; lived with them 3 years; he then found a home with Mr. and Mrs. Thomas 
Murray, of Orleans, Ionia Co., with whom he remained until he met an untimely 
death, by drowning in Long Lake, July 27, 1885.  Under the careful Christian 
training of Mr. and Mrs. Murray, who cared for him as their own child, Walter 
grew to promising young manhood, loved and respected by all.  He will be 
greatly missed by his young associates, and by the Sunday school at Green’s 
church, (of which he has been a member since he was six years old) and more 
especially by his own class and teacher.  Brother and Sister Murray have the 
heartfelt sympathy of all in their great affliction.  Notwithstanding the busy 
season and extreme heat a large concourse assembled at the funeral, which was 
held at Green’s church, July 29.  – His S.S. Teacher
