RECENT DEATH:  Leon A. Walter, 87, husband of Doris (Kimble) Walter, widower of 
Mary (Witbeck) Walter, father of David Walter and Linda Gibbons, grandfather of 
Chris Walter, Jeff Walter, Amy Hazel, and Rebecca Mazurek, great-grandfather of 
Traver Walter and eight others., plus two great-great-grandchildren, brother of 
Lois and son of Hattie (Dausman) & Homer A. Walter, son of D. Freemont Walter, 
son of George Walter, who settled there in Boston Township on the north shore 
of Morrison Lake in 1864.  Born January 7, 1920, died September 1, 2007.  Leon 
was a dairy farmer on the Walter homestead all his life and Boston Township 
Supervisor for 20 years.  Just three months before his death, he let us tour 
his historic double-drive nine-bay gambrel-roofed barn, one of the largest ever 
in Ionia County, with its two hayrack-lifters, and his maple sugar shanty, 
along with lots of oral history of farming in Boston Township for the last 150 
years.  He is buried by his first wife in Saranac Cemetery.
