Belding News – Thursday, 10 May 1906
John Greenop, Sr., of Orleans died at 1 o’clock Saturday morning, May 5, of 
heart disease from which he had suffered for many weeks.  He was in his 
eightieth year, and had been a resident of Orleans for over 35 years.  He had 
been engaged in mercantile business there many years and by close attention 
and careful manipulation of his business affairs acquired a handsome 
competency.  Mr. Greenop was closely identified with many prominent business 
interests of Belding, having been a director of the People’s Savings bank, a 
leading stockholder in the Citizens’ Electric Light and Power Co., and 
interested in city real estate.  He was also allied to the business affairs of 
Ionia more largely perhaps than any man not a resident of that city.  He was a 
large stockholder and Vice president of the Ionia Wagon Co.; a director and 
stockholder of the Michigan Clothing Co.; a stockholder and one of the 
sufferers in the Ionia Furniture Co.; was formerly a director of the First 
national bank of Ionia, and for a long period of the Ionia County Saings 
bank.  In all these business relations he was an agreeable associate, fair and 
reasonable.  He has had his share of reverses but received them with 
equanimnity, made no complaint, proceeding calmly on his way trusting that 
time would right matters.  He is survived by a wife and two children, Miss Iva 
and John Jr., the latter of whom is carrying on the mercantile business at 
Orleans.  The funeral services were held at the family home in the village of 
Orleans, at 1:30 o’clock last Monday afternoon, conducted by the rector of St. 
John’s Episcopal church of Ionia.  Mrs. L. P. Brock of Ionia, sang with 
appropriate sympathetic taste, three solos, the last exquisitely rendered 
being “Lead Kindly Light.”
