Ionia Sentinel-Standard - Thurs. May 23, 1929

The funeral services for Jacob Shutt, who died at the home of his daughter, 
Mrs. Victor Kimball, of Detroit, Wednesday morning will be held from the Muir 
Presbyterian church Saturday afternoon at 2:30, Eastern Standard Time. The 
interment will be in the Muir cemetery. Dr. Willard K. Spencer will be in 
charge of the services.

Mr. Shutt was born in Ohio 80 years ago, and came to Michigan when Mrs. Kimball 
was a small child. Although he has spent several winters in Detroit with his 
daughter, he regarded the vicinity of Muir his home, and spent the summers 
there. The past winter he had been in poor health but was able to be about the 
house and attend church. Tuesday he was about the house as usual and seemed no 
worse but was found dead in bed Wednesday morning by Mrs. Kimball as she went 
to call him. 

At the time of his death he still owned the little farm northwest of Muir which 
had been his home for so many years before his retirement. He was also a 
butcher by trade, and in years past, when practically every farmer cured his 
own meat, was seen many cold mornings with his paraphernalia going to some 
rural home where he was to prepare the summer's supply of meat for the family. 
He was considered an authority on the methods of curing the different kinds of 
meat. About 35 years ago he lost one of his legs in an accident when he was 
buzzing wood.

late in life he became converted in the United Brethren denomination, and his 
every action and work reflected the beautiful Christ-like faith he professed.

Mrs. Shutt died several years ago. He leaves, besides his daughter, Mrs. 
Kimball, another daughter, Mrs. Emma Ely, who is in Indiana and will be unable 
to attend the services and a son Harry of Akron, O.
