Theodore Henry Moehlman, 64, former Ionia business man and school board 
member and for many years secretary of the Ionia Elks, died Monday afternoon 
at 2:45 at the Ionia County Memorial hospital. He had been admitted at 9:30

Mr. Moehlman had been afflicted with a heart condition for several years and 
had retired in his Muir farm several years ago because of his failing health.

A native of Montague, he was born April 24, 1893, the son of Henry and Marie 
Moehlman. He attended school at Montague and was graduated from the Muskegon 
Business college. On December 26, 1917 he was married to Louise McKinstay.

He saw considerable service in World War I and served as a sergeant major of 
Company A, postal express service. He served 25 months in the Army of which 
15 were overseas.

Mr and Mrs Moehlman moved to Ionia in April, 1921 and he was active in 
business circles until June, 1953.

In August, 1948, Mr and Mrs Moehlman moved to Muir where they made their 
home. After his retirement from Ionia Business circles he continued to be 
actively engaged in his profession and was bookkeeper at the Lower Motor
Sales, three miles east of Ionia. He was a life member of the Iona Elks and 
was one of two honorary past exalted rulers. He served the lodge as its 
secretary for eight years.

Active in veteran affairs, Mr Moehlman was a past commander of the Gerard-
Horrocks American Legion post of Ionia. He was elected to the Ionia city 
board of education from 1939 until 1947, being secretary of that board most 
of that period. He was the first commander of the Ionia VFW post.
