Lyons Herald, 20 Dec 1917

The funeral of Fremont Spaulding, whose passing was noted in these columns last 
week, was held at his late home, southwest of Pewamo, last Saturday afternoon.  
The services were in charge of the Pewamo Lodge F. & A.M., of which the 
deceased had been a loyal member of for a number of years.  The funeral sermon 
was read by Rev. George Brown of the M.E. church, interment being made in the 
Lyons cemetery.

John Fremont Spaulding, son of David and Elizabeth Spaulding, was born in 
Onondaga county, N.Y., October 25th, 1853, and passed from this earthly life on 
Wednesday, December 12th, 1917, in the 64th year of his age.

At the age of 18 years he came with his parents to Ionia county and has been a 
resident here since that time.  He was united in marriage to Miss Mary E. 
Watters on May 21st, 1877.  To this union were given them five children, Ney, 
of Muir; John, living on a farm adjoining the old homestead; Mrs. Lavalette 
O’Neil, of Lyons; and Perry and Charles, who live on the farm home, who, 
together with the wife and mother, are left to mourn his departure to another 
world.  He also leaves a brother, Henry Spaulding of Perrington, who was 
present at the last sad rites performed for the deceased.

We have known Mr. Spaulding from the time of our earliest recollections, and we 
have always been proud to claim him as a friend.  We knew him to be a kind and 
loving husband and father, and a citizen whose loyalty has never been 
questioned.

Coming here a young man he grew to manhood and then to evening years, respected 
by everybody who knew him, and loved for the tender consideration he always had 
for others.  He has gone from out this life into that beautiful mystery of the 
eternal existence that lies beyond.  He leaves behind him the memory of years 
well spent – of the duties of life well performed.  May his be the reward that 
has been promised unto the faithful.
