Headlines:  Aged Cobbler Dead at Muir at Age of 87.  For Over Half Century Was 
Familiar Figure at His Bench in Up-River Village

Herman Fiebing, a pioneer Muir resident, died at his home in that village 
Sunday afternoon at 5 o’clock, aged 87 years and one month.  The funeral will 
be held Wednesday afternoon at 2 o’clock and burial will be made in Oakwood 
cemetery at Muir.  Mr. Fiebing, who was of German birth, came direct from his 
native country to Ionia in 1869, and not very long afterward he went to Muir 
and set up the shoemaking business for himself which he carried on until quite 
recently when he retired on account of the increasing infirmities of age.  In 
fact, it may be said of him that he practically died in the harness, for he 
continued to make his usual rounds down town almost until the day of his 
death.  His record for business integrity is indeed an enviable one, and he 
will be missed from his accustomed place where he has been a familiar figure 
for more than half century.  Besides his widow, he is survived by one 
daughter, Miss Marie Fiebing, who is herself a native of Ionia City.
