The Ionia County News, Thursday, January 30, 1930


Funeral services for Silas W. Ward, 85, long time resident of Belding and 
vicinity were held Tuesday afternoon.  Interment was in the Mausoleum where he 
will lie until spring when he will be buried at Ashley cemetery.

Mr. Ward died last Sunday after an illness of six weeks though he had long 
been feeble.  He was born in Morristown, St. Lawrence County, New York State 
in 1850, coming to Michigan when he was about six years of age.  Since that 
time he has resided almost continuously in the vicinity of Belding.  For many 
years he followed the trade of blacksmith, later becoming active as a live 
stock buyer.

Mr. Ward was a Civil War veteran and a survivor of Sherman’s March to the 
Sea.  He enlisted in the 1st Engineers and Mechanics at Grand Rapids and 
served a long period in the war.  He was a member of no organizations.

He is survived by one son, Silas of Belding.
