A Veteran Gone.

Death of Simon Danner, of Ronald.

Simon Danner, of Ronald, died Dec. 16, after a brief illness, from la grippe.  
Deceased was born in Block house, Penn., March 25, 1836, and was left 
fatherless when an infant.  His mother soon after moved to Ann Arbor, this 
state, where his boyhood days were spent, and from which place he enlisted in 
October, 1861, in the First U. S. Sharp Shooters.  He was wounded July 14, 
1862, in the Seven Days fight, and from the consequent disability received an 
honorable discharge.  He came to North Plains soon after, and was there married 
to Christenia C. Heydlauff, Feb. 12, 1863, and then took up his residence on 
the farm in Ronald.

Mr. Danner again enlisted March 2, 1865, this time in Co. D., Ninth Michigan 
infantry, serving until the close of the war, after which he returned to his 
Ronald farm, where he spent the remainder of his life.

He leaves a wife and five children:  F. W. Heydlauff, Mrs. A. S. Curtiss, Miss 
Nellie F., and E. S., of this county, and J. H., of Post Falls, Idaho.

The funeral services took place at family residence in Ronald, and at the North 
Plains church, Sunday.  The son from Idaho was unable to be present.  The 
services were conducted by Rev. Geo. Ransom, of Muir, and Rev. D. H. Shelly, of 
this city.

Deceased was an exemplary citizen, greatly respected by his neighbors, who 
deeply sympathize with the bereaved family.

-----

in Ronald, and church in North Plains, yesterday.  The bearers, comrades of 
Borden post, were Judge A. M. Willett, Chas. A. Cornell, J. L. Fowle, Benj. 
Covert, Henry Barrows and N. L. Brookins.  Judge Willet, Cornell and Barrows
