Nicholas Roach, 57, Pewamo R 1 farmer and former Ionia county deputy sheriff 
for eight years, died at his farm home four miles south of Pewamo at 6 a.m. 
Friday.  He had been ill for the past several years with a heart ailment and 
returned home January 1 from St. Lawrence hospital at Lansing after spending 10 
weeks there following an attack.

A resident at the Roach farm south of Pewamo for the past 32 years since his 
marriage, Mr. Roach came from Hubbardston.  He was married June 7, 1920 and had 
farmed all that time until his illness.  He was appointed as an Ionia county 
deputy sheriff in the Pewamo area on January 1, 1933 and he served eight years 
in that capacity, first during the administration of Herbert A. Ross and for 
one term under the late Leslie H. Murphy.

More recently he had been associated with the Production and Marketing 
association of the federal government with offices in Ionia.  He served for the 
past 3 years as third member for the county committee.

Surviving are his wife, Orah; three daughters, Mrs. Marquettia Miller and Mary 
Jane Roach, both of Lansing, and Mrs. Bernettia Smith of Pewamo; a son, Robert 
of Westphalia; his mother, Mrs. Julia Roach of Hubbardston; two brothers, 
William of Detroit and Erwin of Hubbardston; three sisters, Mrs. Harold 
Cunningham of Hubbardston, Mrs. Rose Bollinger of Ionia and Mrs. Joseph Truhn 
of Brighton and six grandchildren.

Requiem Mass was said at 9 a.m. Monday at the St. Joseph church of Pewamo with 
the Rev. Fr. Joseph Henige officiating.  Burial was made in the St. Joseph 
cemetery at Pewamo.  Arrangements were in charge of the Burns Funeral Home of 
Carson City.
