Mr. Riker died at his home in Grand Rapids on Monday, the 18th, of pneumonia, being sick but a week. He was for 11 years a resident of Portland township and at the time of his death was 45 years of age. He leaves a wife (the daughter of Levi Shotwell of this township) and one child – a daughter. The body was brought here for burial on Thursday last, services being held at the Methodist church by the Rev. Hallenbeck. Mr. Riker had many friends in and about Portland, and they unite with the Observer in extending to the bereaved wife and family, their heartfelt sympathy in their affliction.
