He moved with his parents, when about three years old, to a farm near Millbrook, this state. He lived and worked with his father on the farm until he was a young man. After working for some time a foreman in a department of the Belding silk mills at Belding, Ionia county, he was employed as fireman on the P.M.R.R. system for several years. He was married to Anna Anway, February 29,, 1903. To this union was born one son, Kenneth Clare. They live about a year in Belding and Grand Rapids, then moved to their present farm home, where the deceased, by his kind disposition and accommodating ways has builded about him a host of friends. During the first part of July he became afflicted with diphtheria, which was immediately followed by pneumonia.The best of medical services were obtained but all seemed of no avail and through all those long tedious weeks of suffering he has lingered and faded away until the summons came on Thursday of last week when his last wish was being executed and together with his wife and friends he was being conveyed by automobile toward the hospital at Grand Rapids. He leaves to mourn his departure a devoted wife and son, a loving mother and three brothers, John, Albert and Claude, and one sister Maude all of Millbrook, Mich., his father having passed to the Great Beyond, February 22, 1910. He was a member in good standing of the local Masonic and Knights of Pythias lodges.
