The Ionia Standard, Friday, November 24, 1911

Solomon Perry Tanner, son of Solomon Tanner, was the 13th in a family of 
fourteen children, six of whom are still living: Judson, Marshall, Dora, 
Elizabeth, Dell and Carson.  He was born in Berlin township, April 19, 1856, 
his parents coming to this county in 1842, and Perry, as he was best known, 
having been a resident during his entire life of over 55 years.

Perry was married in 1878 to Etta Arstens LaDow.  To this union were born 
seven children, four of whom are still living: Robert, Vernon, Abram and 
Lodema.  Robert has been in Chicago and Vernon in Detroit, but both came home 
when their father’s illness assumed a serious phase in August and have 
remained here since.

Perry was employed in the P.M. car shops for seventeen years and in the Ionia 
Wagon Works for eight years.  For the last ten years he has worked on his farm 
at northern end of Union street.  He was known as a faithful employee, a good 
citizen and an affectionate husband and father, seeking to do his duty in all 
the relations of life.

Death came to close his useful and unpretending life Nov. 16, 1911, and he 
passed away in the serene and peaceful manner most to be desired.  The funeral 
was from the home Saturday afternoon, the service by Rev. D. H. Shelly and the 
singing by Mrs. W. L. Peck and Mrs. Jessie Hicks, with Miss Greta Brooks at 
organ.  Among those in attendance from out the city were: Judson Tanner, 
Stanton; Mr. and Mrs. Marshall Tanner, Berlin; and Mrs. Elizabeth Minier, Big 
Rapids.  The bearers were three sons and a nephew: Robert, Vernon, Abram and 
Fred Tanner.  Interment, Highland Park.
