R. Everest. Adam Fender was another of the few remaining Civil war veterans, and was 81 years of age at the time of his death. For 20 years he served Sebewa Township and Ionia County as a member of the board of supervisors, where he was known for his rugged honesty and his interest in the affairs of the people who kept him so long a member of the county board. He is survived by three children, Dora M. Everest, Nathaniel E. and Ray Fender. Mr. Fender settled near Woodland soon after the Civil war and had been a resident of Sebewa Township over 50 years, on the farm which he cleared. [Transcriber’s note: There is a notation on the obituary card that he was buried in Lakeside Cemetery.] File at: http://files.usgwarchives.net/mi/ionia/obits/f/fender24149nob.txt This file has been created by a form at http://www.genrecords.net/mifiles/ File size: 1.4 Kb
