Col. McCreery Dead.

Many people in Ionia county will hear with sad hearts of the death of Col. Wm. 
B. McCreery, at his home in Flint, on the 9th inst. He was taken with paralysis 
about two months ago. He partially recovered, but a few days ago a change took 
place for the worse. He was colonel of the 21st Infantry, in which were three 
companies from Ionia county. He was one of the best soldiers of the many 
gallant men who went from this state, and was greatly beloved by all the men of 
his command. Since the war he has occupied many important civil positions, 
among them state treasurer and U.S. consul at Valparaiso, Chili. The funeral 
takes place at Flint to-morrow, and will be attended by some of his war 
comrades from this section of the state.
