Saranac Advertiser
OLMSTEAD, RICHARD:
   THE ADVERTISER, SARANAC, MI; Thursday, February 8, 1912:  "OBITUARY - Richard
Olmstead - Richard Olmstead was born in the township of Berlin, Ionia county,
Michigan, August 1, 1862, departed this life January 31, 1912, at his home in
Saranac.
   March 13, 1888 he was united in marriage to Cora Woodruff.  To this union one
child was born.  He leaves to mourn his loss, his wife, daughter, Amber; mother,
sister, Mrs. Willard Hunter, of this place; two brothers, Rufus, this place and
Frank, of Barryton, besides a host of relatives and friends.
   Four years ago his health began to fail him and most of the time he was
confined to the house being a great sufferer but bore it patiently waiting for
the end which came peacefully.  His last words were:  "God bless you Cora and
Amber, good-bye, I'm going."
   Funeral services were held Saturday afternoon at the M. E. church, conducted
by the pastor, F. E. George, speaking from Ecclesiastes 1-2.  The singing was
furnished by the male quartette, Messers. Gesler, Gumsby, Haskins and Sissem,
which was appreciated by all.  

   CARD OF THANKS:  We wish to thank the neighbors and friends who so kindly
assisted us during the sickness and burial of our loved husband and father; the
Royal Neighbors and Epworth League and others for the flowers, also the male
quartette and organist for the beautiful music dendered.
-	Mrs. Richard Olmstead, Amber Olmstead, Mrs. Maria Olmstead, and children."
