The Ionia Daily Sentinel-Standard, Thursday, October 21, 1921

Portland, October 27.—The funeral of Handy A. Pinkerton, 74, who died at 
Portland Monday was to be held from the residence of Mrs. Reuben Lucas, his 
niece, today at 12:30 o’clock.  Services were also to be held at Banner Grange 
hall at 2:30 o’clock.  Burial was to take place in the family lot in Higbee 
cemetery, near the Grange hall.


The late Mr. Pinkerton was born at Burlington, Michigan, and came to Ionia 
county immediately after the Civil war, having enlisted in that conflict when 
fifteen years of age at Sigourney, Iowa.  He was a member of Company D., 13th 
Infantry and served throughout the entire war.  After receiving his discharge 
from the service he came to Ionia county, making his home in this community 
until six years ago, when he went to Grand Rapids, where he entered the 
Soldier’s home in that city.  Shortly after suffering the stroke of paralysis, 
last August, he was removed to the home of his niece, Mrs. Lucas, where he 
received all the attention that loving hands could administer.

With the exception of a half sister, Mrs. Amanda Carr of Sigourney, Iowa, and 
a half brother, Edward Strong, of Orleans, and a number of nieces and nephews 
no nearer relatives survive, Mr. Pinkerton never having been married.
