The Carson City Gazette, Thursday, March 16, 1933


Willis Townsend, who since a small boy had lived and was well known near Carson 
City and Hubbardston, died at the home of his sister in Palo, March 11th, 
1933.  He was born in Russell, New York, in 1854 and as a child came to 
Michigan with his parents.  He lived south of Carson City on what is known as 
the Goodell farm for many years.  For months he had been sick and suffered a 
great deal and was cared for by his two sisters, Mrs. Alice Wilson of New Haven 
township, Gratiot county, and Mrs. Mattie Reimer of Palo.  He entered into the 
world to come with a confessed faith in Christ and a confidence of his 
acceptance with God.  He was in his 79th year.

Besides his two sisters, he leaves three sons, Albert, James and Ford, who live 
in Bloomer township. 

The funeral was held Monday from the home of Fred Wilson, a nephew, four miles 
southeast of Carson City,  Rev. Floyd N. Drake officiated.  The burial was in 
the East Side cemetery at Hubbardston, beside the body of his wife who died 16 
years ago.
