H. Spencer, 627 Union street Saturday morning at 10 o’clock after an illness of several months. Mr. Voyzey was born in Devonshire, England, April 9, 1844. When he was 21 years of age he came to this country and engaged in mining. In 1877 he came to Michigan and took up farming as his livelihood. This he followed until nine years ago when he and Mrs. Voyzey moved to Ionia because of the failing health of Mrs. Voyzey. One year later she died. Mr. Voyzey was a man of sterling character, loyal to the church of his affiliation, that of the Methodist Episcopal denomination, and to his many friends, and altogether the type of man that makes a good citizen. The three children who are left are Mrs. E.H. Spencer, of Ionia; Walter Voyzey, of Lowell; Dr. G.H. Voyzey, of Kalamazoo. He is also survived by a sister and a brother in England. The funeral services will be held from the home of Mrs. Spencer Monday afternoon at 2:30. The services will be in charge of Rev. W.F. Kendrick and Rev. A.T. Luther. Burial will be in Oak Hill cemetery.
