Ionia Daily Sentinel-Standard, 12 Oct 1950

Vern Hunt, 48, former Lake Odessa fire chief, died at Ingham County Sanitarium 
in Lansing Wednesday afternoon after being a patient there since Friday.  He 
had been in ill health for two years and was a patient at the sanitarium for 
part of that time.

He was born Feb. 21, 1902, in Odessa township where he made his life’s home.  
Interested in the volunteer fire department, Hunt was assistant fire chief and 
fire chief from 1942 until 1948 when illness forced him to resign.  Mr. Hunt 
was a machinist by trade.

He was also past president of the Alert Fire association and past grand and 
former secretary-treasurer of the Lake Odessa I.O.O.F. lodge.

Surviving are the wife, the former Florence Shellman, of Lake Odessa; one son, 
Elwyn, of Lansing; two daughters, Mrs. Barbara Strong of Lake Odessa and 
Madeline at home; one grandchild; one sister, Mrs. Irene Floyd, of Benton 
Harbor; and three brothers, Glen and Roy of Milwaukee, Wis., and Edwin of 
LaPorte, Ind.

The body rests at the family home but will be removed Saturday noon to the 
Pickens funeral home where funeral services will be conducted at 2 p.m. by the 
Rev. O. L. Heltzel of the Evangelical U.B. church.  Interment will be in 
Lakeside cemetery.
