Ionia County News, 9 Oct 1941

Funeral services were held Monday afternoon at two o’clock for Ernest Friedli,
under the auspices of Boston Lodge F. & A. M.  Mr. Friedli had been in failing
health for some time but his illness was not considered critical.  He was found
dead in his barn early Saturday morning shortly after he had left the house to
do the chores.  His son-in-law, Thomas Caulfield, of Pontiac, who was visiting
at the Friedli home, followed him to the barn and made the discovery.  Ernest
Friedli was born in Berne, Switzerland, August 17, 1887, and came to this
country with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Gottlieb Friedli, when very young and has
lived in the vicinity of Lowell and Saranac most of his life.  He had lived on
the farm where he died the past 18 years and was well known and well liked.  He
was a member of the Masonic order and Eastern Star, and had held offices of
trust on the township board.

He is survived by his widow, Louise; a son, Paul; a daughter, Mrs. Geraldyne
Caulfield of Pontiac; his father, Gotlieb Friedli of Lowell; one sister, Mrs.
Marie Hanselman of Ann Arbor; and three brothers, Herman of Detroit and John and
Armiel of Lowell.  Rev. Frank Loomis officiated.  Bearers were Stanley Ayers,
