Lake Odessa Wave, Thursday, August 24, 1922

Highly Respected Citizen Falls Asleep

Resident of Sebewa and Odessa for Seventy Years - Dearly Beloved by Family and 
Respected By All
George High after a short illness, passed to that bourne from which man never 
returns.  “We mourn not for material losses but for the absence of the loved 
one whose voice is forever stilled.”

Mr. High was a man respected by every one and beloved by his family and grand 
children.  He was particularly fond of the latter who will greatly miss the 
company of the genial grandfather.

Mr. and Mrs. High have made many friends in Lake Odessa, identifying themselves 
with the I.O.O.F. fraternities and otherwise being friendly and social.  Mr. 
High gave up active work some time age but was quite a hale old man until 
recently when disease did its finishing work.

George C. High was born in Ohio, October 19, 1848 and moved to Sebewa township 
with his parents in 1852, the family being one of the pioneer families of that 
township.

June 24, 1874 he was united in marriage to Miss Mahala Whaley of the same 
township.  To this union was born one daughter, Mrs. Nellie Morse of this 
village.  He lived in Sebewa until 1900 when they purchased a farm in Danby, 
living there until 1911 when they moved to a farm in Odessa township and in 
1915 they moved to the present home in this village, where he departed this 
life August 19, 1922.

He leaves to mourn his loss, his wife and daughter, one brother, John of Danby 
and two grandchildren, Francis and George Morse, and a host of friends.

The funeral was held at the home Monday afternoon.  Rev. Nagler preached and 
Mrs. Thomas Johnson and Mrs. Royal Johnson sang.  The Odd Fellows and Rebekahs 
attended in a body and the Odd Fellows had charge of the services at the grave.
