Portland Observer, 10 Apr 1924

Mrs. James Creighton, a well known and highly esteemed resident of Sebewa 
township, passed away at her home early Wednesday, after a lingering illness of 
three years.  The funeral services will be conducted from the residence 
tomorrow (Friday) afternoon at two o’clock, Rev. Dinsmore, pastor of the Weslyn 
church, officiating.  Burial will be made in Baptist cemetery, near Lake Odessa.

Miss Almira Holmes was born in the state of Pennsylvania in 1844 and came to 
Michigan with her parents, when a young girl, settling in Sebewa township.  She 
was married to Mr. Creighton 58 years ago and moved on the farm where she 
passed away.  She was a member of the Weslyn church, being a devoted christian 
worker until her illness caused her to give up the work.

Besides the husband she is survived by eight sons, Charles Creighton, of 
Elkart, Ind., George Creighton, of Lansing; Chester Creighton, of Rosie, Minn., 
Dan, Sam and Arthur Creighton, of Sebewa township, and Ralph Creighton, at 
home.  There are also five sisters and two brothers living.
