The Belding Banner, Wednesday, October 6, 1926


John Meade, aged 54 years, well known and prominent Orleans farmer and 
capitalist, died at his farm home south of Orleans village on M-44 Friday 
afternoon.  His death was preceded by a two weeks illness which was at first 
caused by a severe attack of quinsy, which in clearing up, developed into 
pneumonia, with fatal effects.

Mr. Meade was one of the best known and best loved men in Orleans township.  He 
had a faculty of making friends and making money and was looked upon as a 
successful man willing to go the limit in any effort to assist a friend or any 
person whom he knew to be of industrious habits and worthy of assistance.  His 
counsel was considered of the best and many a man can look back to Mr. Meade’s 
advice and financial assistance as having been the cause of his “start “ in 
life.

Born in Orleans township, 54 years ago, Mr. Meade spent practically his entire 
life there and at his funeral which was held on Monday afternoon a great throng 
of people came to pay their respects and last honor to the man and the burial 
was in Orleans cemetery.

On September 22, 1891 Mr. Mead was married to Miss Elsie Nichols, of Easton, 
who with a son, Dr. W. K. Meade and family, of Detroit, and his father, Albert 
Mead, of Orleans, survive.
