Ionia Daily Standard, 9 Aug 1898

Pioneer’s Meeting

Secretary Taylor then read the following death record for the year:

Mr. President and Fellow Pioneers:  My duty as your secretary and historian 
will not be complete until I shall have made mention of those who have dropped 
from our ranks.  One poet says: “God’s finger touched him, and he went to 
sleep.”

The first to whom the “Grim Messenger” was sent since our meeting October 26, 
1897, was Jonathan Tibbitts, at Lansing, December 18, 1897.  Mr. Tibbitts was 
born in Oneida county, J.Y., January 21, 1809; came to Ionia September 30, 
1836, making him one of the earliest to choose this county for his home.
