July 26, 1895 he was married he was married to Jessie E. Morey of Ronald, Ionia county. He was in failing health for many months, and went to Detroit, February 11, last, for medical treatment. His case was at once pronounced hopeless. This decision he accepted without a murmur, patiently waited for the end, at times expressing his desire to be at reset. The funeral services were held at the residence of his grandfather, Mr. E. P. Cheney, near Woods Corners, Saturday April 13, Rev. W. H. Scott of this city officiating. Interment at Woodard Lake Cemetery. Additional Comments: Transcriber's Note: The marriage date is after the death date. It is transcribed exactly as it appears in the newspaper account. I checked the Woodard Lake Cemetery records and they show death date of 1895 so one can likely assume the marriage date is incorrect.
