The Portland Review, Thursday, July 20, 1950

John Sheets, 79, a resident of this area for 50 years, passed away at his home 
early last Friday morning.  Funeral services were held Monday afternoon at the 
Bandfield chapel, Rev. Lowell J. McCarty officiating.  Burial was in Danby 
cemetery.

Mr. Sheets is survived by his wife, the former Edna Martin and three 
daughters.  They are Miss Grace Sheets, of Toledo, Ohio; Mrs. Harold Aungst, 
of Danby; and Mrs. Roscoe Smith, living near Okemos.

The deceased was born in Seneca County, Ohio.  He came to Portland in 1900 and 
resided on a farm.  He moved into Portland in 1912.  He was a painter by 
trade, but was forced to abandon this profession, due to his health.  He was 
employed in the Bandfield store for some time and later carried mail on the 
star route from Portland to Westphalia and Grand Ledge, as well as serving as 
substitute rural carrier here.  After resigning this position, Charles Rader 
replaced him.

Pall bearers were Peter Trierweiler, Lee Hendee, W. L. Cassel, Charles Munger, 
C. J. Hill and Lestus Kirkham.
