The Lake Odessa Wave-Times, Thursday, July 12, 1934

Elory Frank Foght, son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Foght, of West Odessa, died at 
the home of his parents the evening of July 4th.  Elory had been ill much of 
the time following a stroke of two years ago.  Everything was done for him 
that could be done to restore his health but all efforts failed and the 
collapse came as mentioned above, and the young man, who was looked upon as 
the staff upon which his parents would lean in their declining years, was 
taken away.

The funeral was largely attended at the parents’ home, Friday.  Rev. R. L. 
Boadway, his pastor, assisted by Rev. A. L. Hoffman had charge of the 
services.  Mr. and Mrs. D. A. Mourer had charge of the music.  Burial was at 
Lakeside cemetery.

Those from out of town to attend the unreal were Mr. and Mrs. N. E. Blakely 
and family of Kalamazoo; Mr. and Mrs. David Garfield and Mr. and Mrs. P. 
Peterson of Lowell; Mr. and Mrs. William Garfield, Mr. and Mrs. Charles 
Palmer, Mrs. James Scott, Mr. and Mrs. Cecil Taylor, Mrs. Nellie Otis, Mrs.

township on July 19, 1886, and died July 4, 1934, at the age of 47 years, 11 
months and 15 days.  He obtained his education in the Lake Odessa high 
school.  He was a faithful member of the First U. B. Sunday school.  He 
preferred his home life above anything else, but was always willing to help 
any one in need.  

He was a patient sufferer of complication of diseases for over two years but 
died with the great hope of going home.

He leaves to mourn their loss his parents, four sisters, Mrs. Lera Blakely of
