Ionia Standard, 28 Nov 1913

Reuben Crossett died at five o’clock a.m. Friday, of acute gastritis at the 
home of Mrs. Plant, E. Washington St., where he has been a boarder.  His death 
was quite sudden, as he was walking on the street Thursday, looking much as 
usual.  He was never married, and leaves no near relatives, except a niece, 
Mrs. Fanny Spaulding of Lyons.

Mr. Crossett served three years in the war in the First Mich Cavalry.  He made 
his home with his sister, living for several years in Ronald and later in 
Easton.  On the death of his sister, about two years ago, he came into town to 
live, and finally took up his abiding place at the Plant home.  He found a 
congenial companion in Mr. Plant and it is presumed that the death of his 
friend less than a week ago was a shock that affected him seriously.  He was 78 
years old, a quiet, unassuming man, thoroughly reliable, and a good citizen in 
every way.

The funeral was held at the Bradley undertaking rooms on Monday afternoon at 
1:30.  Interment in North Plains cemetery.

----

About twenty five members of the G.A.R. post attended the funeral of Reuben 
Crossett at Bradleys undertaking rooms Monday p.m.  E.L. Shattuck, A.H. 
Guernsey, W.E. Normington, Geo. Corey, Robt. Carpenter and Nathaniel Winslow 
served as bearers.  Rev. Branch conducted the service.  Burial took place in 
North Plains.
