Lake Odessa Wave - Times - June 4, 1920
          OBITUARY
   John Shipman son of William and Angerona Shipman, was born Nov, 20, 1860 near
Jonesville, Hillsdale 
county, Michigan.  At eleven years he came to Sebewa township with his parents and
lived there until 1902 
when he sold his farm and went into business at Sunfield, later at Coral, where he
wa married to Flora B. 
Hoover in 1903.  They moved to Luther and lived there about four years, moving back
to Sebewa in 1912, later 
to Lake Odessa where they have resided for the past four years.  There are seven
children, a wife and four 
sisters left to mourn the departure of a very loving father, husband and brother.
   He was ill since last September with a serious heart trouble, the worry of his
poor health and inability to care 
for his family so taxed his already failing strength that mental trouble set in,
making it necessary on April 1, to 
send him to the Stat Hospital at Traverse City, where he passed away May 31, 1920
aged 59 years, six 
months, 10 days.  Funeral services held at Lake Odessa, on Wednesday afternoon
conducted by Rev. Abram 
H. Lash of Cong'l church.  Interment at Lakeside.
