John Rier was born in the year 1856, August 8, in Toronto, Canada and passed

of his life in Easton township, Ionia County.  He moved to Ronald township in 
1913.  

On Feb. 23, 1884 he was married to Almeda Hodge.  To this union were born seven 
children, two of whom, Lena and Luella, have preceded him in death.  The

Milo of Bellaire and Mrs. George Marr of Orleans.  Besides Mrs. Rier and the 
children, he leaves seven grandchildren and many other relatives and friends.  

All of his life he had been a farmer.  Shortly after his marriage he became a 
member of the Easton Methodist Episcopal church.  He lacked but seven months of 
completing fifty years of married life.  He is the last of a family of six 
children to be claimed by death.

The funeral was held Monday afternoon at the Easton Methodist church, Floyd N.
