DAVID A MOTE IS CALLED TO REST
WAS WELL-KNOWN RESIDENT OF LAKE ODESSA: LEAVES FOUR CHILDREN

D.A. Mote, proprietor of a shoe repairing shop here, and a well-known and 
respected resident of this place, died Sunday at the home of Mr and Mrs.James 
Rogers, after a long siege of typhoid fever. The funeral was held in the Radical 
U.B. Church here in the village, and interment was made in Lakeside cemetery. 
Rev. C. C Grisso of the Brethren Church west of town preached the sermon, and 
music was furnished by the Brethren church choir.

                                OBITUARY
David Anderson Mote was born April 2, 11850, in the state of Ohio, and died July 
30, 1916, age 66 years, 3 months, 28 days.

He was married to Sarah Manda Shopbell, February 22, 1873, she having preceded 
him to the home of the soul on February 14, 1916. To them were born four 
children: Mr.Irene Mosey of Lake Odessa, Mrs.Anna Stocker of Lansing, Mrs. 
Cassie Wilcox of Battle Creek, and Mr.Andie Mote of Lansing.

Besides the four children he is survived by two sisters, two brothers and six 
grandchildren.

He was a faithful member of the Brethren church from  the time of its 
organization until the Lord took him, he  being one of the seven charter members 
of the local Brethren church. He loved the church and  was especially loyal to 
its distinctive teachings and ordinances. On July 28, 1916, although his body 
was scorching with fever, he called for the sacred rite of anointing with oil in 
the name of the Lord. He died a Christian.

                               CARD OF THANKS   
We desire to extend our most heartfelt thanks to the choir and all those who so 
kindly assisted us during our recent and bereavement.
                               Mr. and Mrs. Frank Mosey,
                               Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Stocker,
                               Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Wilcox,
                               Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Mote
