Ionia Sentinel --  6 February 1933
Taken  acutely  ill two weeks ago of cancer while a flagman at the Pere 
Marquette crossing near the Reed Inn.  Godfried Wentland, 73, died at his home 
on Hill Street Sunday afternoon at 3:30.  Funeral services will be conducted 
Wednesday afternoon at the home at 2 o'clock and at the Lutheran church at 2:30.  
Burial will be in the Highland Park cemetery.

Mr. Wentland was born in Germany  August 20, 1859, and came to  America nearly 
50 years ago, locating at the time at Howard City.  Not long after his arrival 
here he entered the employ of the Pere Marquette railroad and continued in its 
employ in various capacities until his health two weeks ago caused him to 
retire.  He had been a coach cleaner, had worked on the section, and had been 
the flagman.  He was a member of the Lutheran church.

Surviving are the widow; three children, Mrs. Anna Young, of Hudson, William and 
Meta Wentland, of Ionia and a brother in  Germany.
