Ionia Daily Sentinel Standard, 27 Sep 1923

About three weeks ago Andy Ward, who lives at Lansing, met a tragic death by
electrocution.  Mr. Ward, upon a tower to make some repairs, after hooking his
belt securely he started working, and in a very short time was seen to collapse,
the belt holding him until he could be taken down.  It was some minutes before
this was done and when it was accomplished, the body was lifeless.  Mr. Ward was
a former resident here and did the electrical installing at the reformatory. 
His wife was Miss Lucille Gibson of the city and at one time lived with her
parents north of Muir on the Emory Townsend farm.  She is planning on making
Ionia her home.  They had only been married about 18 months.  Mr. Ward leaves a
mother and two brothers.

[Transcriber’s note:  There is a notation on the obituary card that he was born
20 March 1891 in Indiana the son of William and Bessie (Gisell) Ward.]
