Ionia Weekly Standard, Fri. Mar. 5, 1886
Died, Feb. 4th, 1886, in his nineteenth year, Bert A. Faulkner, at the home of 
his aunt, Mrs. S.S. Sherwood, near Palo, of diphtheria. He had twice before had 
the disease at his home in Chautauqua, N.Y. All that good care and medical 
attendance could do was done, but without avail. He was delirious a part of the 
time during his illness, but during his lucid intervals did not complain of 
pain and did not fear death. He put his trust in Him who is able to save. Just 
before his death his aunt, placing her hand on his head said, "Bert, you are a 
very sick boy." "Yes, aunt."  "I am afraid you are not going  to get 
well." "All right; I am ready," said the brave boy. March 1st was to have been 
his wedding day. The beautiful young girl of his choice has the love, respect 
and sympathy of all.
