Belding Banner, 19 May 1904

Jacob Kuhn one of the prominent and most highly respected residents of Keene 
township, died at his home Friday morning at an early hour, of pneumonia, 
passing peacefully away after an illness of about two weeks.  

Mr. Kuhn was born in Rheinheim, Bavaria, and emigrated to America with his 
parents while he was but a lad of three years and settled in Seneca county, 
Ohio.

Nearly a quarter of a century ago he and his wife came to Michigan and located 
in Keene on the farm he purchased of Mr. Cowles which has been his home since 
to the day of his death.

A year ago last November the venerable couple celebrated their golden wedding, 
besides his faithful wife he leaves 11 children, five sons Wm. Kuhn, now in 
Louisiana, Otto J. of Belding, Jacob of Keene, Joseph of Maple Grove and 
Lawrence of St. Louis, Mo., and six daughters Mrs. Paul Feuerstein, Mrs. J. P. 
Gasper, Mrs. Joe Jacoby, Mrs. M. Billinger, Mrs. Louis Dollar and Mrs. Amos 
Walter, the latter of Greenville.

The funeral services which were very impressive and attended by a large number 
of old neighbors and friends were held in the church at Miriam, in charge of 
Revs. Fr. Muer of Miriam, Fr. Fierle of Ionia and Fr. Auer of Portland, the 
Ionia Catholic church choir were present and rendered the music for the solemn 
occasion.  His remains were tenderly laid to rest in the cemetery near the 
church.
