Dumon, aged 84 years, died Friday morning from heart trouble and indigestion after a very brief illness. Seemingly he was as well as usual when he arose that morning, and he and son Fred had part of the barn chores finished when called to breakfast. He ate heartily and after breakfast went to finish the work at the barn but soon returned and saying he did not feel very good, he dropped down upon the couch and was soon unconscious. Dr. Dutt of Belding was called and came as soon as possible but Mr. Dumon was past help and passed away about an hour and a half later. He leaves a wife, son, Fred and daughter-in- law, Edith, to mourn the loss of a kind and loving husband and father. Mr. Dumon was born in Otisco township and had lived on the farm where he died for 50 years or longer. His parents lived and died there and a family of brothers and sisters grew to man and womanhood there. One brother, Dr. John Dumon of Centralia, Wash., is now the only surviving member of that family. Charles Dumon was well liked and highly respected in the township where his whole life was passed and for a number of years he served as justice of the peace. Funeral services conducted by Rev. W.J. Rooke, of the Congregational church were held Sunday afternoon at his late home and interment was in Smyrna cemetery.
