Frank Hosey Found Dead Sunday

Body Found in Chair in Upright Position – Funeral Wednesday

Frank Hosey was found dead Sunday morning at 11 o’clock in his room back of the
Morse-Babcock block, where he was janitor.  The body was found by one of the men
on a milk wagon, who was about to leave milk at the room.

Mr. Hosey had planned to go away and had asked Ed. Brown of the Dexter house to
take care of his work during the interval.  Brown was met by the man who had
discovered Hosey’s body and Sheriff Lowrey, Coroner Boynton and Dr. R.R. Whitten
were summoned.

The body was in an upright position in a chair and by the state of rigor mortis
in which it was, it was determined that Hosey had been dead from 12 to 14 hours,
caused by a hemorrhage brought on by coughing.  Hosey had last been seen at 6
o’clock Saturday evening.

Coroner Boynton called a jury to view the body, but an inquest is not
anticipated.  The members of the jury are: Ed. Price, Joe Poole, A.A. Baxter,
Joe Powell, Glenn Mathews and John Gazella.

The remains were taken to Bradley’s mortuary, funeral Wednesday morning at 9
o’clock at Church of SS. Peter & Paul.  Deceased was about 65 years old and
leaves four brothers, Nicholas of Portland, William and Alfred of Ionia and Phil
of Mulliken.
