Louis Morgenthaler, One of Ionia’s Oldest Business Figures Passes Away.

Louis H. Morgenthaler, a resident of Ionia all his life and a business man here
for many years, died at his home at 320 West Main street this morning after
several weeks of illness, suffering much pain.  He was born in Ionia in 1861,
and his father having died when he was still very young, he went to work for
George Gundr__ at the age of fourteen, and continued in the same store until his
last sickness.  He was the owner of the business after 1900, and was in the
business altogether 45 years.  In 1893 he was married to Miss Sophia Lauster?,
who survives him.  He is also survived by two sisters, Ms. Elizabeth Thompson of
Grand Rapids, and Mrs. Louise Fletcher of Lyons.  Mr. Morgenthaler was one of
those conservative, honest and reliable business men, who is held high in the
estimation of the citizens, his neighbors and his family, a man of quiet ways,
whose worth is unquestioned and whose influence is felt throughout the
community.  The funeral will be held on Sunday afternoon at three o’clock at the
home.  Rev. Strossman of the Evangelical church will officiate.  Morgan Fletcher
of Chicago, a nephew, is expected to arrive, as well as Mrs. Thompson and Mrs.
Fletcher.

[Transcriber's Note:  There is a notation on the obituary card that he was
buried in Oak Hill Cemetery.]
