The Ionia Daily Sentinel-Standard, Tuesday, March 12, 1940


Wilbur L. Mead, 82, of Grand Rapids, a former Ionia resident until his removal 
to Grand Rapids in 1875, died during the weekend as the result of injuries 
received when he was struck by a car near his home in Grand Rapids as he 
attempted to cross the street.  Mead died in the St. Mary’s hospital early 
Sunday morning.

He was born in Ovid May 4, 1837 and resided in Ionia several years before 
moving to Grand Rapids.  In 1908 he moved to Chicago and entered partnership in 
the hotel brokerage firm of Barron and Company.  Later he became the sole owner 
of the hotel chain.  He retired from business about eight years ago.  He was in 
the grocery business in Iowa with his father and later in the firm of Aniba and 
Mead.

One daughter survives, Miss Blanche Mead.

Funeral services were held Tuesday afternoon in Grand Rapids and burial was at 
the Highland Park cemetery in Ionia.
