Belding Banner - Wednesday, 21 April 1915
News was received here Monday by Willis F. Bricker of the death of Ernest W. 
Dewey in Indianapolis Sunday night.  The message also stated that the 
interment would be in Belding.  The body arrived this Wednesday morning and 
was taken to the home of Mr. Bricker where the funeral service was held at two 
o’clock p.m. in charge of the Masonic order of this city.  The deceased is the 
son of Harlow Dewey, a former resident of Belding in its early days.  Mr. 
Dewey with his three sons operated the lath mill for Wilson Luther & Wilson at 
this place and later in Luther.  He was thirty-two years old and for several 
years has been manager of the Great Western Oil Company’s interest in 
Indianapolis.  The remains were accompanied by his wife, Mr. and Mrs. Ed. 
Lampkins and Miss Nova Dewey of Owosso and the father, Harlow Dewey of Grand 
Rapids.  The burial took place in the old cemetery where a relative of the 
deceased is buried.  Mr. Dewey was closely associated with Frank H. Barnes of 
Grand Rapids, general manager of the oil company, who was stricken with heart 
failure Tuesday night at the supper table and died immediately.  Mr. Barnes 
made arrangements for Mr. Dewey’s funeral here and it is supposed the sorrow 
and the excitement incident to the obsequies caused his collapse.
