H. Geck died in St. Mary hospital, at Grand Rapids, on Wednesday night, where he had been for care and treatment for some weeks, though his last illness dates back some six months. The remains will be brought to Ionia on Saturday morning, for funeral service at church of SS. Peter and Paul at 9 o'clock, and for interment. Deceased was aged 47 years and was the son of the late Anton Geck, one of Ionia's pioneer watchmakers and jewelers. He was born in this city, and was for many years a leading merchant; was for many years a supervisor and alderman whose judgment was usually respected, but alas, financial reverses and weakness of the flesh were elements he could not overcome, and his last days were a source of sadness to his friends, of whom he had many in Ionia. The aged mother, now 85 years old, still survives, making her home with a daughter, Mrs. Mary Konkle, in Grand Rapids. Additional Comments: Services; Saturday 29 September 1906 Mt.
