The Ionia Sentinel-Standard, Thursday, July 29, 1937

William Swartz, of Jackson, formerly of Ionia, died at the home of his 
daughter, Mrs. Richard Todd, in Jackson Wednesday morning after having been in 
poor health for the past year.

He was born in Germany on January 13, 1868, and when six years of age came to 
America with his parents to settle at Fowler.  He lived there until shortly 
before his marriage, when he and his mother moved to Ionia.  He was married on 
December 21, 1892, to Minnie Utess, of Ionia and they had lived in Ionia until 
a year ago when they moved to Jackson with the daughter.  

For several years he was employed at the carshops in Ionia, until he bought a 
farm near here where they lived for many years.  During the last four years he 
worked, he was caretaker of the Ionia fair grounds.

Survivors are his wife, Minnie; a daughter, Mrs. Richard Todd of Jackson; a 
stepson, Carl Swartz of Detroit; and three granddaughters, Mrs. Josephine 
George of Fowler, and Miss Marguerite Todd and Miss Marion Todd of Jackson.  A 
brother, John Swartz, of Ionia, died a year ago last December.

Funeral services will be held Friday afternoon at 2 o’clock at the home of 
Vincent George at Fowler.  Rev. R. A. Rook of the St. John’s Lutheran church 
of Ionia will officiate and interment will be in the Highland park cemetery.
