A PIONEER GONE.

Cyrus J. Ring Dies at His Home in Grand Rapids.

Cyrus J. Ring a former old resident and much respected citizen of Otisco, died 
at his home in Grand Rapids, Sunday. His remains were brought to Smyrna 
Wednesday and taken to his old home from the train, where his many friends and 
neighbors gathered to pay their last tribute to an old and respected citizen.

They met at 1:30 p.m. at the farm home and drove to Smyrna church where the 
funeral was held. The comforting words were spoken by Rev. D.E. Hill of 
Greenville. The singers and bearers were chosen from among his old 
acquaintances of this vicinity and his remains now rest in the old cemetery.

The following obituary was read: Cyrus Ring was born in Independence Township, 
Cuyahoga County, Ohio, Nov. 24, 1834. He came to Michigan when a boy of bout 
fourteen years with a brother-in-law, Erick McArthur. He returned in a short 
time however, and came back the second time with his parents., Mr. and Mrs. Wm 
ring, they settling on the banks of Flat river in what is now the Township of 
Keene. He was united in marriage to Almira L. White on Oct. 26, 1862 in 
Grattan, living with and caring for his parents during the Civil War. In 1866 
they bought them a farm home near Smyrna of Marcus Tuttle where they resided 
until Dec. 1898 when they moved to Belding, and made their home with their 
daughter, Mrs. W.M. Francisco.

In December 1902 they with their daughter and family moved to Lowell where they 
lived about a year and moved to Grand Rapids. He sold his farm in January and 
bought him a home on Warren Ave. , which he lived to enjoy only three weeks.

He departed from this life on Sunday May 1, 1904, making him 70 years 5 months 
and 7 days. Besides a faithful and devoted widow the deceased leaves one 
brother Edmond Ring of Alton, one daughter Mrs. Waldo Francisco of Grand 
Rapids, one adopted daughter Mrs. Floyd Totten of Belding and one grand- child, 
besides a large circle of friends to mourn the loss of the departed one.
