SUDDEN DEATH COMES TO TWO DURING WEEK
FORMER FOREMAN IN MILL AND RETIRED GROCERY MAN PASS OUT QUICKLY

Death striking suddenly and without warning, snuffed out the life light of two men
well known in this locality, the one a foreman in the mills here for many years and the
other, up until about 7 years ago, when he retired, a prominent grocer of the city. The grim
reaper came to both men as they were walking along and death in each case was considered 
instantaneous.

Walley H. Hein, 70, died suddenly at his home on Howard street shortly before the
supper hour on Monday. He had been doing a little minor carpenter work and was on the lawn
when he suddenly fell. Mr. Hein had been in poor health for several years due to
heart trouble.

The deceased was born in Berlin, Germany and came to this country with his parents
when a lad of 8 years. The family settled at Detroit. Mr. Hein was married to Mary Herzog
while he was living in St. Louis, Missouri. The family later lived in Oklahoma and Texas
where Mr. Hein served in the regular army. He was a veteran of the Spanish American war. The
family came to Belding from Millersburg 27 years ago. Mr. Hein was employed
by Belding Bros. & Co. in the Red mill as foreman in the winding room which position
he held until his health failed.

The mother of his children passed away 13 years ago and he has since remarried. His
survivors are the widow, Mrs. Martha Ritterstorf Hein, four daughters and two sons,
Mrs. Robert Wells and Mrs. Elwyn Williams of this city, Mrs. Frank Talbot of Muskegon, 
Mrs.Arden Young of Ionia, W.T. Hein of Chicago and Everett Hein of Detroit. Also two
brothers, August of Rogers City and Julius of Metz.

Funeral services will be held on Thursday afternoon at the Fitzjohn funeral home.
Rev. H.S. Ellis will officiate, and interment will be in River Ridge cemetery. Mr. Hein was a
member of the Woodman lodge and was formerly affiliated with the Knights of Pythias.
