Resident of Lake Odessa 45 Years. Ann Arbor Graduate. Dr. Marion Crane, whose illness has been reported in this paper the last two issues, died at his home Sunday at 3 p.m. of paralysis. Dr. Crane was a Berlin boy and chose the profession of a physician. He finished at Ann Arbor about 1870 and began practice at Saranac. He came to Bonanza in 1877 where he had a store. When the town of Lake Odessa was started he moved his building to the village and rented it until it burned a few years ago. For a long time he was the only doctor near here and had a large practice. Dr. Crane married Miss Eliza Wilson of Saranac and one son was born to them, Charles, now a physician of Grand Rapids. These with a sister, Mrs. Della Sayles of Missouri and the lady who lived with them many years as a daughter, Mrs. Chas. Crist of Grand Rapids, survive. Dr. Crane was remarkably preserved for one of his age until stricken a few weeks ago. He was interested in all village activities and in politics. His familiar figure will be missed as he daily went about town. The funeral was held at the home Tuesday afternoon. Rev. A. F. Nagler preached the sermon and a male quartet consisting of Leon Gilson, S.W. Dann, Merlin Morgan and Geo. Kart furnished the music. Burial was at Lake Side.
