Sudden Death of Collins Man

Leonard Ginnebaugh Found Dead In Bed By His Wife Early Friday Morning.

Leonard Ginnebaugh, aged 58 years was found dead in bed by his wife Friday 
morning, his death coming as a distinct shock to the entire community. Mr. 
Ginnebaugh retired the night before apparently in the best of health. During 
the night he complained to his wife of a pain in his stomach but insisted that 
she not get up as it was of minor importance and would soon pass away. He got 
up to relieve the pain and told her he would finish the night on a cot. When 
Mrs. Ginnebaugh arose in the morning she discovered the dead body of her 
husband.

Funeral services were held at the Collins church Sunday afternoon and burial 
was made in the Portland cemetery.

Mr. Ginnebaugh had been a lifelong resident of Portland township. His parents, 
Mr. and Mrs. John Ginnebaugh were pioneer settlers of Collins where he had 
spent the greater portion of his life. For many years he had operated a 
threshing outfit and had become well known throughout this district. Some time 
ago he accepted a position at the Collins elevator which he filled up to the 
time of his death.
He had been married two times. His first wife’s maiden name was Flora Chipman. 
Four children were born to this union: Fred and Margaret, of Battle Creek; 
Esther, of Lansing, and John, of California. After the death of his first wife 
he was married to Mabel Gates, who with five children from that union survives. 
He is also survived by one brother, Charles Ginnebaugh.
