The Carson City Gazette, Thursday, December 7, 1944


Edward William Peoples was born in Home township, Montcalm County, Michigan, 
April 28th, 1866, where a part of the town of Edmore now stands which at that 
time was only a wilderness.  With only a half acre cleared around the cabin in 
the standing green pine and a half mile from the nearest neighbor, Mr. Peoples 
spent the most of his life in the county in which he was born until failing 
health made it necessary for him to make his home with his son Eric, at Ionia 
about 12 years ago.  

February 14th, 1900, he was united in marriage to Miss Dula Giles of Edmore, 
Mich.  To this union were born four sons of which three grew to manhood.  

He departed this life at the Ionia hospital Nov. 23rd, 1944.  The funeral was 
held at the Carson City Congregational church at 2 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 26th, 
1944.  Rev. Edward Humphrey of Saranac, a former pastor at Carson City, 
officiating.  

Mr. Peoples leaves to mourn his passing, his three sons, Eric, Cleon and Cleo 
and their families, all of Ionia County; one brother, Mr. Emory Peoples and one 
sister, Mrs. John Lulham, of Carson City.  Two nieces at Lowell and one nephew 
of Carson City, a number of cousins and a host of friends.  He was a kind and 
loving father and brother and will be deeply mourned by those he left.  Burial 
was made in the Carson City cemetery beside his wife who preceded him in death 
in 1926.
