Sentinel-Standard - June 15, 1937

Ernest Radsack, 82-year-old resident of Ionia, died at his home, M-21 at Dexter 
street, Monday afternoon shortly after 4 o'clock. Although his health had not been 
extremely good, his death was sudden and unexpected.

He was born in Prussia, Germany, February 13, 1855, a son of Frederick Radsack, and

came to America with his parents at the age of six. He was married in 1880 at Ann 
Arbor.

He was a stone mason and an artist at his trade, and with his partner, John Koch, 
did the masonry on  many of Ionia's finest buildings, including foundations of the 
K. R. Smith home on East Washington street. They also built the stone walls on the 
Woodcote stock farm then owned by William Steele.

Mr. Radsack was a member of the German Lutheran church, having been baptized as a 
child in Germany and was a member of the Maccabees for 40 years. After first moving

to this vicinity, he and Mrs. Radsack lived for a year and a half on North Jefferson

street, then bought the home where he and his wife have lived for the past 56 years,

and where he died. Mr. and Mrs. Radsack celebrated their 57th wedding anniversary 
last February.

Survivors are his wife, Fredericka, three daughters; Mrs. Wilburt Hahn of East 
Lincoln avenue, Mrs. Howard Blow of Grand Rapids and Mrs. Anna Straub of Lansing, 
one son, Claude of Detroit, one brother, Charles Radsack of Chicago, nine 
grandchildren; William Blow of Grand Rapids, Miss Elleen Blow of Muskegon, Miss 
Virginia Blow of Grand Rapids, Ernest Radsack of Detroit, Mrs. Crystal Stencil at 
Ionia, Howard Hahn of Ionia, Mrs. Lucille Burrier of Detroit, Victor Hahn of Ionia 
and Claude Radsack of Detroit; and five great-grandchildren, Katherine, Ruth, Joyce,

Burton and Jimmy Stencil of Ionia. 

Funeral services will be held from the home at 538 West Lincoln avenue on Thursday 
afternoon at 2:30 o'clock with Rev. R. A. Rook of the St. John's Lutheran church 
officiating. Interment will be in the family lot in Highland Park cemetery.
