The Ionia Daily Standard, Monday, January 14, 1901

Peter VanVleck, a prosperous farmer of Ronald township, and one of its pioneer 
residents, died very suddenly on Sunday, dropping in his tracks.  Mr. VanVleck 
had long been an invalid from a heart affliction, and while death was expected 
as likely to occur at any time, it nevertheless came shockingly without 
warning. 

Deceased was born in Delaware county, new York, near Middleton, on October 22, 
1824.  Peter VanVleck came to Michigan with his parents, in 1838, when there 
were only two other families in the township.  The family came direct to this 
country from New York; and settled upon a tract of 320 acres of land in the 
territory which is now Ronald township, the land being purchased the year 
before.  This land, with other added to it from time to time, has been 
occupied continuously by the family throughout all these years.

Funeral at residence at 2 p.m. (sun time) on Wednesday.  Interment in Palo 
cemetery.
