Unidentified Publication, Jan 1913

Esteemed Citizen and Long Time Professional Man Joins the Unnumbered Throng.

Dr. J.M. Hathaway passed away early this morning, at the home on Lafayette
street where he has calmly been awaiting the summons for several weeks. His
death had been expected, and all the immediate family were here.

Dr. Hathaway was born in Oakland county 72 years ago last March.  He was one of
eight children, five of whom are still living.  They are: Mrs. Wm. Coney of
Pontiac, Mrs. Geo. Bird and M.D. Hathaway of Pontiac, J.B. Hathaway of Flint,
and Mrs. Ella Coney of this city.  He entered the 1st Michigan cavalry in 1867
and served until the close of the war, when he returned to his profession of
dentistry.  More than forty years ago he moved to Ionia, where he has lived ever
since, an active and highly esteemed citizen.  The death of Dr. Hathaway will be
the source of genuine grief to many, for his friends and friendships were known
to be sacred to him.

He married Miss Amanda Phillips of this city, and leaves two children besides
his widow - Dr. Claude Hathaway of this city and Mrs. Robert L. Taylor of Grand
Rapids.  He has been engaged in the pursuit of his profession of dentistry all
of his life except while he was in the army, and for two years immediately after
his father’s death, which occurred more than forty years ago, when he cared for
the Oakland county farm for his mother.  His father’s death took place four
years ago.  About two years ago failing health forced him to abandon regular
work, and the office here was continued by his son alone, and has been in his
hands ever since.

The funeral will be held at the Church of Christ at two o’clock Friday
afternoon.  It will be conducted by Rev. Branch.  The bearers will be chosen
from the local G.A.R., who will probably hold their service at the grave in
Highland Park.
