Belding Banner, 15 Nov 1922

Edward B. Post and Margaret Turpenning Post came from the state of New York to 
Wayne county, Mich., about the year 1832 where Martin Post, their oldest son, 
was born, on September 24th, 1836, locating in Orleans, Ionia county in 1844 on 
the farm across the way which was later owned by H. C. Tallman, now Hall’s 
Apple Ranch, moving to the farm where he died, at his marriage, to Miss 
Adelaide C. Tallman, in 1862, who died in 1872, one daughter, Mrs. F. C. Moys 
of Boulder, Colorado, survives.  Mr. Post was again married to Miss Elizabeth 
A. Hinds, of Orange, in 1876 who, with two sons, William, at home, and Darwin, 
of Hemlock, survive, also one grand daughter, Mrs. Harold Washburn, of St. 
Paul, Minn., and one great grand daughter, Mary Adelaide Washburn and one 
brother, Jay O. Post, of Ionia.  Mr. Post joined the Green’s Methodist 
Episcopal church in early manhood and the building which stands on a corner of 
his farm is a monument to his loyalty, having given the land, and where he was 
ever found in his pew at all services until failing health rendered him 
incapacitated.  He departed this life October 31, 1922 in the fullness of years.

The funeral was attended from the late home Sunday afternoon by a large 
assembly of relatives and friends.  Rev. G. A. Osborne gave a splendid 
discourse, Mrs. Luther Berry, Mrs. Bert Rummler and Mrs. Clayton Knapp sang Mr. 
Post’s favorite hymns while he was tenderly borne to his last resting place in 
the family lot in Orleans cemetery by his two sons and four nephews.

“And may there be no sadness of farewell, when I embark.” – Tennyson.
