Lake Odessa Wave - June 21, 1945
          A. H. McCARTNEY DIED MON. A. M. 
     Arthur H. McCartney, 47, died at his home here Monday morning from a stroke of
paralysis suffered early 
in the morning.  Though he had been in failing health for more than a year, his
death came unexpectedly.
   He was born here May 4, 1898, and attended the local schools.
   He had been chief of the local fire department until forced to resign about a
year ago on account of poor 
health.  He was one of the organizers and the first president of the Lions Club, a
member of Central Methodist 
church, and also of the LaVerne Demaray post of the American Legion here.  He was
the youngest child of the 
late Mr. and Mrs. William H. McCartney, pioneer business people of Lake Odessa.
  Following the death of his father in 1933 he took over the management of the
McCartney Store where he 
had been associated with his father for several years.  He was greatly interested in
his home town and ever 
ready to help sponsor any project for civic improvement.  He had been a member, and
ardent supporter and 
active leader of the Boy Scouts for 35 years.
  In October, 1923, he was married to Miss Edrie Pull who survives him.  Other
survivors are three daughters 
the Misses Lucille of Detroit, Mary an attendant at Wayne university in Detroit, and
Patricia at home, two sons, 
Arthur and William at home; one brother William C. in Lake Odessa, two sisters, Miss
Alice McCartney of 
Detroit and Mrs. Leon T. Gilson, Lake Odessa.
   Funeral services were held at the home Wednesday afternoon with the Revs. Leon W.
Manning of St. Joseph 
ad J. Lawrence Ward, pastor of Central church, officiating.  Interment was made in
Lakeside cemetery under 
the auspices of the American Legion.
