wife died in 1891. 

His second marriage was to Adele Hayes of Orleans in 1897.  For a short time 
they lived on a farm in Easton and operated a grocery store.  Twenty years 
ago, they returned to Orleans where the second Mrs. Ostrom died in 1930.  He 
was made a life member of the Ionia Masonic lodge in 1927.  For sixteen years 
he served as Orleans township clerk.  He was the father of two sons, Fred and 
Edward, by this first marriage.  Surviving are a son, Edward of Orleans and

years he was cared for by his daughter-in-law, Mrs. Fred Ostrom.
