Ephriam Francis Dead

Passed Away at Home of His Sister, Mrs. P. N. Chaple.

Ephriam G. Francis died Thursday at the home of his sister, Mrs. Philo Chapel.  
Mr. Francis was born in Oakland county Aug. 18, 1848 coming to Portland to live 
some years ago.  He worked at his trade as carpenter until his health failed 
him.  While living here he built a home in the east part of town.  About eight 
years ago Mr. Francis went to Colorado where he spent one summer returning to 
Lansing to live.

He had been sick about two years, but six weeks ago expressed the wish to come 
to Portland and his family were able to bring him here.  It was a great 
satisfaction to spend his last days in his old home town.

Mrs. Francis and one daughter, Mrs. Walter Spaulding of Lansing survive him, 
besides his brother, Fred L. Frances and his two sisters, Mrs. Philo Chapel and 
Mrs. Chas. Gilden.

The funeral services were held at his sister’s home Saturday afternoon, Rev. 
Millard officiating.  The Odd Fellows had charge of the burial and marched in a 
body to the cemetery.
