Ionia Sentinel – Wednesday, 29 January 1919
John Poole, aged and highly respected citizen of Lyons since 1850, died Monday 
morning after a long illness during which he was tenderly cared for by his 
only daughter, Cora Poole.  He was born in Lincolnshire, England, Oct. 14, 
1833, came to America when a young man and settled in Oakland County, soon 
after entering the employ of Hale Bros., at Waterford as a practical miller.  
Soon after the business was transferred to Lyons, in the early fifties, Mr. 
Poole also moved to Lyons, and was employed at the mill continuously from 
August 1, 1869, to August 1, 1901, when he had the misfortune to have his 
right hand taken off in the rolls, which incapacitated him for work to a 
certain extent, although he was more or less active about the mill as long as 
it remained in Lyons.  Funeral services ere held at his late residence Tuesday 
afternoon, conducted by Rev. G. A. Brown, and the remains were taken to 
Burlingham for burial.
