The Ionia Daily Sentinel, Monday, September 18, 1911

Paul Roth, one of Ionia’s oldest living residents and business men, died 
Sunday morning at his home, 202 West Lincoln avenue, after an illness lasting 
a week.  Stomach trouble from which he has been a sufferer for years was the 
cause of death.  Mr. Roth has never been able to get relief from his ailment 
and constantly recurring attacks weakened him so that he could not withstand 
the last one.  He was 86 years of age and leaves besides the widow six 
children, Paul M., of Pasadena, Calif., Andrew J., of International Falls, 
Minn., Frank of Owosso, Michael D. of Pasadena, Elizabeth, residing at home 
and Anna, of Knoxville, Tenn.  The funeral will probably be held Wednesday 
although the time has not been set definitely waiting word from the sons in 
California.

Mr. Roth has been a resident of Ionia for 57 years coming here in 1854.  He 
arrived in this country only the year before so that Ionia has been his home 
ever since coming from the province of Loraine where he was born in 1825.  He 
was French citizen and served in the French army being stationed most of the 
time at Paris.  During the Civil war here he served as a member of Co. E. 
Engineers and Mechanics, and was a member of the local G.A.R. post.

His life’s profession has been that of tailor and during the first few years 
of his residence here he worked for different firms.  Later he branched out 
for himself and for many years conducted a tailor shop in different 
locations.  The last place he was in was in the Cornell store on South Third 
street.  For about 12 years Mr. Roth has been unable to work.

He has been an esteemed citizen of Ionia and at his death passed one of the 
living pioneers of the city.
