WATERMAN, Samuel   1918
DOD:  Sunday, 30 June 1918
Belding Banner – Wednesday, 3 July 1918

The many friends of Samuel Waterman were shocked to hear of his sudden death 
Sunday afternoon when it was learned that he had suddenly died while on his 
way over to the office of the Belding-Hall Co.  Mr. Waterman was employed for 
the past year as shipping clerk for the company and had been around the city 
with his friends during the day in his usually apparent good health.  At about 
2:30 o’clock he left some of his friends in Hotel Belding stating that he 
would walk over to the office.  A short time after, Miss Allie Arnwine, who 
happened to be passing the canvas basket factory noticed him sitting on the 
steps leading to the entrance of that building and upon her asking him if he 
was ill, he nodded in the affirmative.  Miss Arnwine at once notified R. 
Howard Hall of the company, who quickly notified Dr. J. F. Pinkham and the two 
hurried to the sick man’s side.  Mr. Waterman was so far gone, however, that 
he only lived about five minutes after this and he died, before he could be 
removed, on the steps of the old canvas factory building.  His remains were 
taken to the Miller & Harris undertaking rooms where they now are, awaiting 
word from his relatives in the east, who have been notified.  Mr. Waterman has 
a sister living at Boston, Mass., and a mother living at some town in Maine, 
but no word has been received from them as yet and the body will be held 
pending word from them.

“Sam” as he was familiarly known, was a genial, whole-souled individual and 
made many friends here.  While he had been in his local position for only 
about a year, he had been with the New York offices of the Belding-Hall Co. 
for many years and was considered a valuable, trustworthy employee by the 
company.
