Typhoid Fever Claims a Victim - Funeral Tuesday Afternoon

The news of the death of William J. Lee, which occurred at 9 o'clock Sunday 
morning at his home in Easton, was received with sorrow and regret by many 
friends in this city. Mr. Lee suffered about five weeks with Typhoid fever, to 
which disease he finally succumbed. He was born in Canada, his relatives living 
a the present time in Brantford. He was 37 years of age. Besides a devoted wife 
he leaves a bright little son aged 10years, who are deeply sympathized with in 
their sad affliction.

Deceased had been a resident of Ionia for many years, and his genial spirit and 
honest character won for him the friendship and esteem of all who made his 
acquaintance. For some time he was engaged in the confectionery business, and 
later had the management of the old Titus hotel, but for a time past he has 
been engaged in handling a patent roofing paint.

Mr. Lee belonged to both the Maccabees and the Woodmen, having a $1,00 policy 
in each order, and the two orders will furnish the bearers for the funeral 
which will be held at 2 p.m. Tuesday from the residence, the second house west 
of the Pere Marquette overhead crossing beyond the West Main street limits in 
Easton. It was here that he bean to see the brightness of life, having the past 
year or so completed the building of a cozy home, the enjoyment of which is so 
early cut off by death. The interment in Highland Park.

Mrs. A.E. Evans, of Brantford, sister of deceased, with her husband arrived on 
Sunday. Monday's Daily Sentinel.
