Ionia Sentinel, 26 Nov 1926

Taps Sounded Thursday for Ionia Veteran

E. S. Shattuck, 84, One of Few Remaining G. A. R. Members, Dies in Hastings.

Another veteran answered the last call Thanksgiving morning when E. S. Shattuck 
passed quietly away at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Mary Rushford Surine, in 
Hastings.

Mr. Shattuck had been very active in spite of his 84 years, and had been a 
familiar figure about the streets of Ionia.  Only the night before his death he 
was about the streets of Hastings, and remarked to his daughter how well he 
was.  In the morning about 5 o’clock she was called to his room by his labored 
breathing and he died soon afterward.  His death occurred just two years after 
that of his wife, to whom he had been married over a half century.

He was born in Iosco county, and had lived in Ionia 5? years.  He was a member 
of the Eighth Michigan Infantry and enlisted in 1863, remaining in service 
until the close of the war.  He was a member of the local G. A. R.

Surviving him are two daughters, Mrs. Surine, of Hastings; Mrs. Andrew Randall, 
of Ionia; three sons [The names are unreadable.] a brother, [The name is 
unreadable.] of Lansing, besides 27 grandchildren and 33 great grandchildren.

Funeral services will be held Sunday at 2:30 from the Methodist church.  Rev. 
W. R. Kendrick will officiate.  Burial will be in Highland Park.
