Ionia Daily Sentinel, 13 Mar 1909

Lewis Kelner was born in the State of New York on Feb’y 5, 1818, and died at 
the home of his son, Geo. L. Kelner, in Ionia, on Thursday, March 11, 1909 – 
thus having attained the ripe age of 91 years past.  He came to Michigan 63 
years ago, settled on and cleared what is now known as the Houghton farm in 
Ronald.  He then moved to the State of Ohio, returning to Michigan after an 
absence of five years, locating again in Ronald, where he continued to reside 
until about seven years ago, when he came to the home of his son, George L., 
where the sunset side of his life was made comfortable to the end.

Deceased was twice married.  His first wife passed away 51 years ago.  To this 
union were born seven children, two daughters and one son surviving.  His 
second marriage was to Phebe Spear, who died about eight years ago.  There were 
no children by second marriage.  Deceased leaves fifteen grandchildren, twenty-
four great grandchildren, and two great great grandchildren.  He was the last 
one of his father’s children (thirteen in number) to pass away.

Mr. Kelner was converted about ten years ago, and lived a consistent Christian 
life to the end.  The funeral service, conducted by Rev. D. H. Shelly, was held 
in the Woodard Lake church on Sunday, and he was laid to rest in the Woodard 
Lake cemetery.
