The Ionia County News, Thursday, February 1, 1923

Funeral services for the late William P. Fanning and Mrs. Chandler Haight, 
father and daughter, were held from the Methodist Episcopal church in this 
city last Saturday afternoon, Rev. Joseph H. Green officiating in the absence 
of Rev. C. J. Kruse, pastor, who was confined to his home at the time though 
illness.

The edifice was crowded during the hour of the obsequies, and it is seldom 
there has been a greater outpouring of genuine sympathy than that manifested 
as the last rites were said in memory of two beloved characters, who had 
written their imprint upon all that was good and holy in the life of this 
community.

Following the obsequies the bodies were taken to Highland park cemetery and 
placed in the vault of the Louis Schmoltz family until spring, when it is said 
the remains of Mr. Fanning will be taken to his old home at Stanton for 
interment.

The bearers for Mrs. Haight were Dr. Lee Haight, Wallace Haight, Frank 
Kaphart, Horatio Pramalee, Herbert Everest, and Nelson Powell.

The bearers for Mr. Fanning were A. H. Tuttle, R. A. Hawley, Dr. F. M. Marsh, 
H. E. Kidder, O. W. Slocum, and R. A. Colwell.

The following were here from away to attend the funeral services:  Mr. and 
Mrs. Frank Kaphart and daughter Edith Parmlee and son Horatio, of Flint; Mrs. 
Lena Burgeon, of Charlevoix; Mr. and Mrs. Frank Kephart and daughter Patricia, 
of Traverse City (Mrs. Parmlee, Mrs. Burgeon, and Mrs. Kephart are sisters of 
Mrs. Haight); Mrs. E. L. Haight, Miss Loessa Haight, Dr. and Mrs. Ellsworth 
Haight, of Detroit; Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Everest and daughter Janette, of 
Royal Oak; Dr. and Mrs. Lee Haight, of Bellevue; Miss May Alexander, of 
Detroit, and Mrs. George Percival and Mrs. Cameron.
