The Ionia Daily Sentinel-Standard, Thursday, January 15, 1920

From a Sentinel-Standard Correspondent

Jan. 13.—Last Saturday Mrs. Bird Stone, of Ionia township, received a telegram 
from Hurley, Virginia, announcing the death of her father, Henry Settle, which 
occurred at six o’clock that morning.  The remains were sent here by way of 
Ionia, and the funeral service was held at the home of Mrs. Mary Banning, who 
is a sister of the deceased, Rev. C. R. Strobridge officiating.  Interment was 
in the family lot at Oakwood cemetery at Muir.  

Mr. Settle was born at Vernon, Ohio, September 5, 1860, being one of a family 
of ten children.  When he was seven years of age he came to Muir with his 
parents, grew to manhood here and was identified with the lumbering interest 
for many years.  In 1884 he was married to Mamie Charles, and two years later 
they went to Dakota, where Mrs. Settle died, leaving one daughter, Bessie, who 
is now the wife of Bird Stone.  Returning to Muir, Mr. Settle lived here until 
1896, when he went to Virginia to enter the employ of the Ritter Lumber 
Company, and remained with them 23 consecutive years.  In 1918 he suffered a 
stroke of paralysis, after which he returned to Michigan and made his home 
with his daughter, returning south a few weeks ago to spend the winter.  His 
only surviving brother, Elmer Settle, lives in Detroit.
