The Ionia Standard, Friday, June 2, 1916


A telegram was received in Ionia Saturday afternoon, announcing that William 
Kanouse had been shot to death at St. Charles, Louisiana.  Another telegram 
was received later from his wife, which read, “Will is dead.  Can’t arrange 
for the funeral; am in jail.” 

Will Kanouse was born in this county, and is a son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank 
Kanouse of Prairie Creek district, and a brother of Bert Kanouse, who left on 
same afternoon, to bring the remains back for interment, if possible, where 
the first wife is buried, as that was the oft expressed wish of deceased.  Wm. 
Kanouse left Ionia some thirty years ago for the west, and has never made 
Ionia his home since, though he had made visits here—the last time, about two 
years ago, and last year Bert Kanouse equipped his Ford machine with a 
complete camping outfit and made the long trip to St. Charles and return as a 
vacation trip.  

No further particulars.  William and wife, it is said did not live together 
happily, and the fact that she is in jail arouses the suspicion that there had 
been a family quarrel.
