The funeral of O. H. Perry, took place at the family residence, in Orange,

morning before his death, but was about as usual during the day, and went to 
bed at the usual hour.  His wife awoke in the night and asked him how he was; 
he replied that he felt very badly, and by the time she could get up and get a 
light he was gone.  He was about 67 years old, and leaves a wife and three 
children grown to maturity.

of his city and was formerly a popular knight of the grip.

A Sudden Summons.

Oliver H. Perry, one of the leading farmers of Orange township, died very 
suddenly on Sunday night last, aged 68 years.

He was up and about all day Sunday and during the forenoon took some Ionia 
friends to his daughter’s (Mrs. Walter Phillips) to spend the day.  When he 
returned he laid down on the couch and complained of not feeling well.  Later 
in the day he went to bed and died about midnight.  The cause of his death was 
heart failure.

He had been a resident of Orange about 26 years and was a prosperous farmer and 
well-known hunter, making a trip every fall into the northern woods deer 
hunting.  He intended to go this fall, as he and his son George had taken out a 
deer license on Friday last for that purpose.

The funeral services will be conducted from his late home on Wednesday 
afternoon of this week at two o’clock.  Rev. D. E. Millard will officiate and 
burial will be made in Portland cemetery.
