A goodly number of family friends assembled at the home of the late Theron M. 
Nesbitt, on East Adams street, Thursday p.m. to pay their last friendly tribute 
of respect, the Ionia County Bar association attending in a body.

The funeral service was conducted by Rev. W. K. Spencer, D.D., of the 
Presbyterian church; Mesdames Thane Benedict and G.M. Phelps were the singers; 
the bearers were: F. C. Miller, W. F. Marquette, Emory W. More, F. T. Mason, W. 
F. Soule, Fred K. Graff; and interment was in Highland Park.

Deceased was born in Otisco township, and came to Ionia for his schooling while 
yet a mere lad, and Ionia was his home since, with the exception of a brief 
period of a year when he went to Clare county for the practice of his 
profession.  He was a graduate of the Ionia High school, and was admitted to 
the bar in this city.

Early in his practice, Mr. Nesbitt was affiliated as firm member with such 
eminent lawyers as the late W. W. Mitchell, and R. A. Hawley.  He was regarded 
as a good interpreter of the statutes.

He early developed a liking for the political life.  He contested 
unsuccessfully for the offices of judge of probate and prosecuting attorney, 
but he was three times elected justice of the peace in this city, which office 
he filled with ability and credit.

Surviving him are the widow and three daughters; Mrs. Fred Manning of Lansing, 
Miss Isa, a teacher in the Saranac school, and Miss Naomi, who lives with her 
mother at home.

At time of death he was a member, with policies in force, in the Modern Woodman 
and Modern Maccabees, and he had taken very advanced degrees in Masonry.  He 
was aged 49 years.
