Ionia Daily Sentinel Standard, 11 Jun 1946

John Kalb, 66, prominent Lyons resident, churchman and Mason, died Monday noon 
at his Lyons home.  Funeral services will be held from the home Thursday 
afternoon at 2 o’clock with the Rev. Gerald Jacobs, pastor of the Lyons 
Methodist church, officiating.  Masonic services will be conducted by Lyons 
Masons and the Ionia Knights Templars will provide the escort.

Mr. Kalb returned about ten days ago from Endicott, N.Y., where he went for 
advice from his son, Dr. John Kalb, an Endicott physician.  An examination 
revealed his condition critical.  He returned home by plane, spending one night 
at Akron, Ohio, where the plane was grounded by bad weather.

Mr. Kalb had been for 36 years an employee of the Ypsilanti Furniture company, 
having been superintendent of the Lyons plant until that was closed.  He came 
to the Reed from Batesville, Ind.

Born in Germany May 26, 1880, he had been in the United States 39 years.  He 
was a member of the Lyons Methodist church, of the Lyons lodge No. 37 F&AM and 
Lyons chapter, No. 60, RAM, and the Ionia Commandery No. 11, Knights Templars.  
He was also superintendent of the Lyons Methodist Sunday school.

Surviving his are his wife, one son, Dr. John Kalb, of Endicott, N.Y.; two 
daughters, Mrs. Russell Miller of Lyons and Mrs. Phillipine Seichart of Los 
Angeles, Calif.; three grandchildren; four brothers, Earnest of Chicago, Eugene 
of Cincinnati, Ohio, Gustav of Batesville, Ind., and the fourth in Germany and 
one sister in Germany.  

The body will be taken to the home from the Shaw-Rivett funeral home in Muir 
probably Wednesday.
