Short Illness Proved Fatal to Sportsman

Milton J. Ward died unexpectedly at his home at 310 ˝ Hall street, Monday
afternoon.  He had not been feeling well for a couple of days and on Monday
afternoon mentioned that he was tired and would lie down for a little while.  A
short time later it was found that he had passed away.

then.  He had done some contract building and with John Mahar built the Bowling
Alleys known as Belding Recreation and operated the same for three years.  He
was a member of the Sportsman’s club and the Elks lodge of Grand Rapids.

He is survived by his wife, one daughter, Mrs. Betty Calandro of Grand Rapids;
two sons, Milton, Jr., of Lakeview, and Bob of this city; one grandchild; his
mother of East Jordan; one brother, James of East Lansing; two sisters, Mrs.
Mitt Caldwell of Lansing, and Miss Virginia Ward of Detroit.  All of the
immediate relatives were present for the funeral services which were held at

Congregational church officiated, and burial was in River Ridge cemetery.
