Belding Banner – Thursday, 2 May 1912
Last Sunday at 2:30 pm occurred the last sad rites over the remains of John 
Greenop, whose death at Mt. Clemens was announced last week.  Rev. Edrie 
Collins pastor of the Congregational Church and an intimate friend of the 
deceased preached the funeral sermon and spoke words of consolation to the 
grief-stricken family.  The floral offerings from friends were beautiful.  
After the ceremonies at the house were completed a large procession of friends 
accompanied the remains to their last resting place in the Orleans cemetery.  
There were twenty-five automobiles in the procession and it is said there were 
as many more at the grave when the said cortege reached there.  The Masons and 
Oddfellows attended in a body and the large attendance at the funeral spoke no 
uncertain way of the respect in which the deceased was held in the community.  
A heavy rainstorm at the time of burial made it impossible to conduct the 
Masonic service at the grave.
