Belding Home News – 11 September 1879

Mr. George McElroy of this village, who for four months past has been confined 
to his house with consumption, died at his residence on Wednesday night, Sept. 
3.  Mr. McElroy was born in eastern Ohio in 1816, and resided in Ohio until 14 
years ago, when he migrated to this county and settled in the township of 
Boston.  Eleven years ago he became a resident of Otisco, settling on a farm 
about 3 miles south of Belding.  Five years ago he removed to Belding, where 
he has since resided.  When 30 years ago he removed to Belding, where he has 
since resided.  When 30 years of age he made a profession of religion and 
united with the M. E. Church, since which time he maintained a consistent 
Christian life.  In the earlier part of his sickness he expressed great 
anxiety to recover for the sake of his family, but when he became conscious 
that he must die he calmly submitted to the impending result, and when upon 
the verge of the grave bade a final farewell to his family and calmly passed 
to the other shore.  He leaves a wife, a son and daughter, three brothers and 
four sisters to mourn the loss.
