The Ionia Daily Standard, Monday, June 28, 1897

Ransom Rathbun, for many years a well-known farmer of Ionia county, but for 
the eight months last past, a resident of this city, expired suddenly on 
Sunday morning, shortly before seven o’clock, the cause being neuralgia of the 
heart.  He was aged 60 years.  The funeral will be attended from his last 
home, 142 West Lincoln avenue, at 10 a.m. on Wednesday, and interment will be 
beside his first wife in Easton cemetery.  Mr. Rathbun and Mrs. Sylvester 
Young, second wife, had been married but eight months.  Rev. W. Ostrander, of 
the Seventh-day Adventist sect, of Grand Rapids, will conduct the funeral 
services.

Mr. Rathbun was a resident of Ionia county continuously for the long period of 
43 years, and was known and respected as a good former citizen and a 
scrupulously honest man.  He leaves two grown up sons and one daughter.  Mrs. 
Deborah Reed, mother of Mrs. F. C. Miller, is a sister of deceased, and is now 
the one surviving child of a family of eleven
