Ionia Daily Sentinel, 18 & 22 Oct 1918

Mr. and Mrs. Ferdinand Kuempel, No 6 Stevenson place, today received a message
from the war department at Washington informing them that their son, Edward Emil
Kuempel, a private in the marine corps, died this morning.  The telegram says
that the remains can be sent home or can be buried in the national cemetery at
Brooklyn navy yard.  Mrs. Kuempel replied by wire to send the remains on to
Ionia.  Private Kuempel was 22 years of age and was born in Canada, moving here
two years ago with his parents.  He enlisted in the navy about a year ago, in
New Orleans, and had been aboard a United States ship, located much of the time
near the Cuban islands, until two months ago when he arrived in New York.  While
in Ionia he was employed at both the Hayes-Ionia and Ypsilanti-Reed factories. 
Arrangement for funeral later.

was held from the residence at 2:30 this afternoon, Rev. B. H. Succop
officiating.  Interment at Highland Park cemetery.  There were many beautiful
flowers.  Private Kuempel enlisted in the navy in July, 1917, at Detroit, and
was sent to Paris Island, N.C.  He was with the marines in many places, but
never got to France.  He was born in Kitchner, Canada, in 1897, and was in his
22d year.  A brother, Jacob Kuempel, is with the American army in France.
