Headline:  A Long Time Resident of County Dead.  
                  Dayton Douglass, of Muir, One of Best Known Residents

Dayton Douglass, aged 76 years, who has been in failing health for many 
months, died at his home in Muir, Saturday evening.

Born in New York and coming to Michigan when a lad of 22, he had spent over 
half a century in Muir, making him one of the real pioneers of Ionia county.

Mr. Douglass was a wagon maker by trade and for forty years followed that 
work.  The Douglass mark on a wagon was assurance of quality.  In connection 
with his factory he ran a livery and a blacksmith shop.

For the past twelve years Mrs. Susie Sherman and daughter Reta have cared for 
his home and for him during the months of illness.

He was a member of the Muir Church of Christ, and was active in its progress, 
serving the organization in many capacities.  He was also a member of the 
Knights Templars and was a Shriner.

Surviving him is one granddaughter, Mrs. Bernice Douglass, of Detroit, and a 
brother, James, of Muir.

The funeral will be under Masonic auspices, from the Muir Church of Christ, 
Wednesday at 2 o’clock, fast time.  The services will be conducted by Rev. 
George T. Johnson, pastor of the church, and Dr. Willard K. Spencer, of Ionia, 
the Knight Templar acting as an escort.  The burial will be in the Muir 
cemetery.
