The Ionia County News, Thursday, June 25, 1942


William H. Langdon, son of Samuel and Dorothy Langdon, was born at Gull 
Corners, Kalamazoo county, July 12, 1866, and moved with his parents near 
Grand Rapids when three years old.  He lived there until he was united in 
marriage on June 14, 1888, to Belle Doremus of Grand Rapids.  They immediately 
made their home in Hubbardston where they have resided since, spending their 
winters in Florida for some few years.

Mr. Langdon was taken ill at his winter home in Sarasota, Florida, December 8, 
and was in the hospital 15 days.  His two sons and a granddaughter visited him 
during his sickness.  His many friends in Sarasota made his bedroom a bower of 
flowers and they were always greeted with a cheery smile.

Mr. Langdon improved enough in health to be driven back to Michigan early in 
April and was able to be about the house until June 1 and spent the remaining 
days in bed.  He departed this life Monday evening, June 15, after a six 
month’s illness and was laid to rest at West Side cemetery on Thursday, June 
18.  Rev. William Dale Robinson officiated at the services.

Surviving him besides his wife are three children, Charles, Paul and Alice, 
all of Hubbardston; five grandchildren, one great-grandchild; two sisters, 
Mrs. Minnie Munhsaw of Grand Rapids, and Mrs. O. P. Geib of Carson City; and a 
host of friends.  All of the immediate relatives were present at the funeral.

Out of town friends attending were: Mr. and Mrs. William Powers, Miss Florence 
Powers, Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Sparks, Mr. and Mrs. Homer Patterson and four 
sons, Mrs. Kate Vose, Mrs. Etta Price, Miss Myrtie Price, Mrs. Mabel Monroe 
and Mr. Glen Doremus, all of Grand Rapids; Mr. and Mrs. Roy Rice, Mrs. Harold 
Bell of Ann Arbor, Mrs. Emma Terwilliger and Miss Esther Terwilliger of 
Portland, Mrs. Nicholas Roach, Pewamo; Mr. and Mrs. Merle Mulford, Mr. and 
Mrs. George Knowles, Mr. and Mrs. Edward Daily and Mrs. Lillie Goulthrite of 
Carson City; Mr. and Mrs. George Conkey, Woodard Lake; Mrs. Emma Charles, 
Ionia; Mr. and Mrs. Clive Charles and Nathan Greeno, Muir; Mrs. Henry Miller, 
Fowler; Mr. and Mrs. Al Newberg, Crystal, besides a host of neighbors and 
friends.

The home was filled with floral offerings from neighbors and friends.
