The Ionia Standard, Friday, September 28, 1910

George Townsend was born in the State of New York, town of Parma, April 16, 
1841.  He passed away Sept. 3, 1910.  He was one of a family of fifteen 
children of Charles and Laura Townsend.  He came to Michigan with his father 
when only four years of age.  They first went to the home of a sister in 
Oakland county, where they remained about six months, when the sister and 
family moved to Orange, Ionia county, which was the home of the deceased to 
the end of his life.  At the age of 16, Mr. Townsend lost his health, and was 
ever after more or less an invalid.

He was married in 1861 to Calista G. White, daughter of Alonzo and Ruth 
White.  One child was born to this union, Melvina, who passed away 17 years 
ago.  He is survived by the wife, two grandsons, one granddaughter, and two 
great-grandsons; also by four sisters.

Card of Thanks:  

We desire to return our sincere thanks to friends and neighbors for many acts 
of kindness and expressions of sympathy, in our recent great bereavement.

Mrs. Calista Townsend
Mr. and Mrs. Will Cooper
Mr. and Mrs. T. C. Heberley
