Lake Odessa Wave-Times Friday 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 parent and lived here until 1902 when he sold his farm and 
went into business at Sunfield, later at Coral, where he was married to Flora 
B.Hoover in 1905. 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 state 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 the Cong'l church. 
Interment at Lakeside.
