Belding Banner-News - Wednesday, Jan. 8, 1919

John Scheidt, aged 74 years, one of the oldest pioneers in Otisco township, and 
also one of the most highly respected residents of the community died at his 
home a few miles south of the city on Thursday afternoon at 5 o'clock following 
an illness of five days, of pneumonia. Mr. Sheidt was born just 74 years ago 
last Christmas day and had resided on the farm where he died, for about 54 
years, having been with the county in its great development in every way that he 
could during all those years. His funeral was held from St. Mary's Catholic 
church, Miriam, Tuesday morning at 9:30 o'clock and the remains were laid to 
rest in St. Mary's cemetery there, where sleep so many of his friends who have 
passed before.  Mr. Scheidt had been a member of St. Mary's Catholic church ever 
since coming in this section of the country and his might well he patterned 
after as a model Christian life by many. A good man is gone with his passing.
