   THE PORTLAND (MICHIGAN) OBSERVER, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 29, 1921:  "David
Coleman Passes Away at Home of Daughter in Ionia Last Thursday. - In the passing
of David Edward Coleman, whose death occurred at the home of his daughter, Mrs.
William Stevens of Ionia, last Thursday evening, Orange township looses one of
its oldest settlers and most highly esteemed and well loved citizens.
   Mr. Coleman who was 92 years of age came to Orange township with his father
when fifteen years of age and up to a few months ago, when he went to live with
his daughter at Ionia, had always lived in the vicinity of what is known as
Coleman's corners.  Locating there when the country was a practical wilderness,
he with others of the old pioneer stock devoted their efforts to reclaiming the
land from nature, that they might in future years, enjoy the fruits of their
earlier work.  That this work was well done the present fine farms in that
community testify.
   He was a brother of the late Eli Coleman and besides the daughter, Mrs.
Stevens at Ionia is survived by a sister, Mrs. John Well, of Battle Creek, who
is now 80 years of age.  
   The funeral was held from the Portland Baptist church, Tuesday forenoon, in
charge of Rev. DeVette.  Interment was made in the Portland cemetery."
