Ionia Sentinel Standard, 2003

Berton E. McCaul, 82, of Lake Odessa, passed away suddenly on Wednesday 
evening, Jan. 22, 2003.  Berton was born in Lake Odessa on Dec. 14, 1920 to 
Anthony and Mabel (Slater) McCaul.

He graduated from Lake Odessa High School in 1939 and married Doris Fahrni on 
May 15, 1942.  Berton delivered milk from 1940-1947, owned and operated the 
Lake-O-Maid Dairy from 1949-1956, and continued farming outside of Lake Odessa 
until 1996 when he and Doris moved into town.
Berton was well-known for the love he had for his draft horses and all the 
parades he participated in.  Berton’s family will remember him for his soft-
spoken, gentle, and non-confrontational attitude.
He is survived by Doris, his loving wife of 60 years; his children, Roxie (Lee) 
Hazel, Neil (Yvonne) McCaul, Betty (Terry) Haskins, Alex McCaul, Sue (Gary) 
Elliott, and Steve (Jane) McCaul; 12 grandchildren; six great-grandchildren; 
his sisters, Doris (Myers) Canfield and Lois Goodemoot; his sisters-in-law, 
Carol Fahrni and Rosie Fahrni; and many other loving relatives and friends.
He was preceded in death by his parents; his brother, Owen McCaul; and his 
brothers-in-law, Bruce Fahrni and Mike Goodemoot.

Visitation will be Friday from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. and from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.  The 
funeral service will be held 2 p.m. Saturday at the Koops Funeral Chapel in 
Lake Odessa.  Burial will be in Lakeside Cemetery.  In lieu of flowers the 
family suggests memorial contributions be made to any of the following: 
Lakewood Community Ambulance, Lake Odessa Fire Department, Lakewood High School 
FFA, or the First Congregational Church of Lake Odessa.
