Ionia Standard
TREMAYNE, HENRY:
  THE IONIA DAILY STANDARD, MI, Tuesday, June 4, 1907, p 4, col. 5:  "DR HENRY
TREMAYNE.  Close of An Active Professional Life of Over Forty Years in Ionia
County.  The death of Dr. Henry Tremayne, at his home in this city, at 3 o'clock
on Monday afternoon, June 3, brings sadness to many homes in Ionia county, in
which he had been the trusted medical adviser for many years.
   Dr. Tremayne was born in the county of Leeds, Canada, August 16, 1839.  He
was the son of Rev. Francis and Elizabeth Tremayne, natives of England, who
early came to New York state, and later settled in Canada.  The father was an
active minister in the Episcopal church for many years.
   Henry Tremayne's early industrial experience was as a farm boy, but later he
served as clerk in a general store in Canada.  His ambition, however, was
neither in the line of farming or mercantile pursuits, and he entered the
medical department of the University at Toronto, from which he graduated in 1865.
   Immediately afterward, he came to Ionia county, locating at what is known as
Tremayne's Corners, named for him.  Later, he spent two years at Portland.  He
came to Ionia in 1876, where his home remained until his death.
   He was married in June, 1862, to Miss Jane Johnson, and their marriage has
been blessed by two children:  Emma, the wife of Amos M. Welch, and Harry H., a
traveling salesman who makes his home in Grand Rapids.
   The demands of his profession required his time and energies to a degree that
prevented large participation in public affairs, and he met the high degree of
professional success which his devotion to his calling merited.  He was a
Democrat in his political faith, and served the city faithfully as health
officer for many years.  He was a member of the Knights of the Maccabees and the
Masonic orders.  He was also a member of the Episcopal church.
   He was of robust constitution, but the hardships of a general practice
covering a considerable section of the country, made visible inroads on his
constitutional vigor, and caused him to limit his outside practice in more
recent years.  Nothing alarming developed in his condition until within the past
year, and his decline in that time has been steady, and at the last rapid.
   The doctor was of a genial social temperment, steadfast in his principles,
honorable in his business methods, and trustworthy in all the relations of life.
 In short, he was a good citizen, who will be sincerely mourned by many old-time
friends in the city and outside.
   The funeral service will be held at St. John's Episcopal church, on Thursday
morning at 10 o'clock."

   PORTLAND OBSERVER, MI, Wed., June 5, 1907, p 8:  "Dr. Tremayne of Ionia is
dead.  He was a practioner here when Portland was younger, going from here to
Ionia."
