Belding Banner, 27 Dec 1906

Jerome Sagendorf passed away at his late home in this city Saturday at about 9
o’clock p.m. of heart failure, age 75 years.  The news of his death which spread
quickly Sunday morning was a surprise and a shock to very many who had not heard
of his sickness.

The deceased, with his wife Elizabeth came to live in this city about five years
ago having sold the farm on which they had lived near McBride more than thirty
years.  He was born in Ulster county, New York, May 4, 1833 and on Feb. 28, 1856
was united in marriage to Elizabeth Morse a sister of Alvin Morse of this city
and soon after came to Michigan residing in Stanton for about a year then moving
to the farm at McBride where he was counted among the best citizens and
neighbors in that vicinity.  Since moving here he has proved an excellent
citizen and a whole souled Christian gentleman and made many warm friends.  He
has always been a faithful member of the Baptist church having been converted at
the age of 20 years.

The funeral services were held at his late residence Wednesday forenoon, there
being no Baptist pastor Rev. J.W. Sheehan officiated and spoke comforting words
and his remains were laid to rest in River Ridge cemetery.

He leaves besides his wife one daughter and three sons Mrs. Eli Kendall and R.L.
Sagendorf of this city and William S. Sagendorf of Edmore and Louis Sagendorf of
Hackley Wis., all of whom were present at the funeral of their esteemed father.
 His death at this time made a sad Christmas for the bereaved family who have
the deepest sympathy of all.
