Ionia Sentinel, 26 Apr 1888

The remains of L.H. Mead, who died at White Cloud Thursday evening, arrived here
this morning on the 11:57 train from Grand Rapids, and were met at the depot by an
escort from Wm. H. Borden Post G.A.R.  The funeral was held Sunday afternoon at 3
o’clock from the M.E. church.

The funeral of the late L.H. Mead took place on Sunday afternoon from the M.E.
church, a very large audience being present.  He was a member of the G.A.R. and Wm.
H. Borden post, No. 211 turned out about 40 strong as an escort, and furnished the
pall bearers.  Rev. A.M. Gould preached an excellent and appropriate sermon,
speaking of the deceased as a good man, a loyal citizen, beloved by his family, and
regretted by his friends.  The remains, at the close of the services at the church
were escorted by the post to Highland Park cemetery where they were laid at rest
with the impressive burial service of the grand army, there to remain until the
final revielle on resurrection morn.  Mr. Mead was for many years a business man in
Ionia.  He served in the war in an Ohio regiment, coming to Ionia soon after his
discharge.  Recently he has lived at White Cloud where he died.
