Arthur L. Corey, aged 55 years, died Tuesday morning, July 19.  He was the son 
of Peleg and Eliza Corey, born in Matherton, July 9, 1855, and the eldest of a 
family of nine children.  Eight brothers and sisters survive him:  Tola Corey, 
of Matherton; Mrs. Minnie Hillabrandt, of this place; James Corey of Britton, 
S. D.;  Harry Corey, of Grand Ledge; Judson Corey and the Misses Lenna and 
Nellie Corey, of Lansing, and Mrs. Jennie McCarthy, of Alma.  December 21, 
1882, he was married in Ionia to Miss Annis Mack, of New York.  They have 
lived on the farm west of town until about five years ago, when they moved to 
their home in the village.

In January, 1908, he was obliged to undergo a surgical operation in the 
hospital at Grand Rapids.  Most of the time since he has endured terrible 
suffering but always with patience and fortitude.  During his treatment in 
Grand Rapids he was converted to the Christian faith, and after his return 
here joined the Methodist Episcopal church.  The funeral was held at the 
church Friday, July 22, and the services were conducted by the pastor, Rev. 
Charles Baugham.  At Mr. Corey’s special request the Hubbardstown cornet band 
headed the funeral procession, followed by the members of the Masonic order, 
of which he was a member.
