                 VETERAN OF CIVIL WAR DIES SATURDAY AT MUIR
Muir, Dec. 6 - Amos B. Cooley died at one o'clock Saturday afternoon, after an 
illness of less than a week. Funeral services were held at the house Sunday 
afternoon, conducted by Rev. Charles Nease of Lyons, and on Monday the remains 
were taken to Martinville for interment. He was born near Detroit 76 years ago. 
He had lived in Muir about 8 years, coming here from the Soldiers' Home in 
Grand Rapids. He was a veteran of the civil war, attaining the rank of corporal 
in Company F, 24th Regular Michigan Infantry. He is survived by a widow, a 
brother, Charles Cooley, of Pontiac, two sisters living at Romeo and Lapeer and 
two sons, Andrew Cooley of Muir, and James Cooley, of Redford.

The death of Amos B. Cooley was the passing of one of the more familiar 
characters and indefatigable workers in the village. We learn that the cause of 
his death was a fall from a wagon, which he recently sustained. After disposing 
of some of the property, the aged widow will go to Grand Rapids, her former 
home, to live. In their bereavement she and the other kinsfolks received many 
considerations from neighbors and friends, for which they are very grateful.
