Pioneer Notebook, Greenville Library
Sylvester Thompson died at his residence, corner Pleasant and Center Sts., on 
the 7th inst. of heart failure, aged 79 years, 2 months, and 5 days, after an 
illness of several weeks confining him to his bed.  He was born in Ponnell, 
Vt., and when 21 years of age came west and first settled in Ionia for a few 
years, afterward removing to a farm in Easton township which he purchased and 
resided there until thirteen years ago, when he sold out and came to Belding.  
He had many friends in Ionia county, being a resident 58 years, always 
attended strictly to his own business, never aspired to office, and while 
living on the farm his counsel was much sought after by his neighbors.
He leaves beside his wife, who is now confined to the house by sickness, two 
daughters – Mrs. A. l. Spencer and Mrs. E. C. Floyd.  Funeral services were 
held at his late residence Sunday morning, sermon by Rev. C. I. Devo.
