The Belding Banner, Thursday, September 26, 1912
Headlines:  William F. Currie Passed To His Last Rest on Saturday Morning 
                    A Faithful Engineer at Belding-Hall Co’s. Factory “A” For 
Twenty 
                     Years—Always Lived in Belding

Saturday, September 21st, 1912, at 11:45 a.m. William F. Currie, one of 
Belding’s well known and honorable citizens, passed to his last rest after an 
illness of several months.  He was 46 years of age and had been a resident of 
Belding nearly all of his life.

For about 32 years, Mr. Currie had been in the employ of the Belding-Hall Co. 
beginning work when a small boy and remaining in their employ all these years 
until obliged to quit on account of illness a few months ago.  For the past 
twenty years he has been the faithful and trusted engineer of the plant.  As a 
fitting testimonial to the esteem in which his employers held him it is worthy 
of note that the company sent him his pay check every two weeks right up to 
the hour of his death.

Deceased leaves an aged mother, one brother, Harvey Currie of Elwell; two 
sisters, Mrs. E. Pickhaver of Coldwater and Mrs. O. Culver of Elwell, a loving 
wife and three sons, Byrell and Hollis of this city and Lyell of Detroit.  He 
was a member of the Masonic and Modern Woodmen lodges and carried $1000 
insurance in the Woodmen lodge.  An autopsy was held Saturday afternoon to 
ascertain the cause of death.

The funeral was held Tuesday at his late home under the auspices of the 
Masons, Rev. W. A. Biss officiating and the burial was made in River Ridge 
cemetery.  So passes from our midst a man whom all who knew respected him.
