Ionia County News, 4 Oct 1923

Funeral services for Frederick L. Irish, at one time a resident of Pewamo, 
during his younger years, were held from the Methodist church in that village 
last Friday afternoon, Rev. Mather, pastor, reading the funeral discourse.  
Interment was made in the family lot in Westside cemetery.

The death of Mr. Irish came suddenly while on a business trip to Chicago.  For 
the past year or more he has been making his home with relatives in the eastern 
part of the state, but during the month of July left for Chicago, where he was 
staying at the time of his demise.  The remains were shipped to Pewamo, 
arriving there last Thursday, and were taken to the home of Mr. and Mrs. 
Charles P. Somers, old time friends of the family, to await interment the 
following afternoon.

Frederick L. Irish was born at Carson City on July 16, 1869, and passed from 
this life at Chicago, Ill., September 25, 1923.  He was 54 years, 2 months and 
9 days of age at the time of his death.

Shortly after his birth his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Welcome Irish, removed to 
Pewamo from Carson City, which village remained the family home until their 
death there a number of years ago.  Here the subject of this sketch received 
his high school education.  When but a young man he went out into the western 
country and up until a little over a year ago made that part of the nation his 
home.

He had been in rather poor health most of the time since his return and only 
for his determination was he able to go about his regular avocations.  His 
death was not unexpected as he had been failing rapidly during the months just 
previous to his departure for Chicago.  He is survived by three brothers, Claud 
Irish, of Owosso, William S. Irish, and Glen Irish, Pontiac, and a sister, Mrs. 
Harry P. Snyder, Ovid.
