Ionia Sentinel, 24 May 1883

Another Pioneer Gone.

Died, at his home in Boston, May 20, after a painful illness of several months
duration, Edson English, in the 82d year of his age.

Mr. English was born September 12, 1801, in the town of Tunbridge, Vt., where he
lived until the fall of 1840, when he removed with his family to Michigan and
settled on the farm that he has since occupied, and where he has since been
actively identified with the interests of his locality and Ionia county, being
widely known as one of the most upright, useful and respected citizens.  In
early life he embraced the religion of Christ and became a member of the M.E.
church.  He retained this connection until the close of his long life, with the
reputation of an earnest, consistent follower of Christ.  He leaves his aged
life companion, a large family circle and numerous friends to mourn his loss. 
Funeral services held at the M.E. church, in South Boston, on the 22d, at 2
o’clock.
