The Ionia Standard, Thursday, February 26, 1880

Sebewa.  Died, on the evening of Feb. 16th, at his residence at Mr. Theodore 
Gunn’s, Mr. John Waddle, in the eightieth year of his age.  Another pioneer 
has gone.  Mr. Waddle came to Sebewa in the summer of 1841.  He has lived to 
see the township cleared up and improved, as at first must have seemed 
impossible.  Before the war he sold his farm to Mr. Isaac Bretz and has since 
been living in an humble way on the interest of his money.  He was a man of 
strong personality and many peculiarities and few could come into contact with 
him even so briefly without remembering “Old Waddle.”  His death was caused by 
an overdose of opium taken to break up a cold.
