Belding Banner – Thursday, 2 December 1909

Nathaniel Whitston died at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Thos. Bracken, 
Monday, Nov. 29, at 7 o’clock p.m., where he has lived for the past eleven 
years, aged 86 years.  The deceased was born in County Kerry, Ireland, March 
25, 1823, coming to Quebec, Canada, in 1845, where he settled on a farm.  He 
was united in marriage to Joanna O’Brien and four daughters were born to them, 
Mrs. Wm. Kenyon of Newport, Vt., Mrs. Thos. Bracken and Miss Joanna Whitston 
of Belding and Sister Francesca of New Orleans.  Mrs. Whitston died nine years 
ago.  The children were all present at their father’s bedside when death came 
except Sister Francesca.

Mr. Whitston loved his home here and was seldom away, always at work doing 
something when health permitted.  He will be greatly missed by his family, to 
whom he was very devoted.  The funeral service was held at St. Joseph’s 
Catholic Church Wednesday morning, Fr. Zindler officiating, and the remains 
were laid to rest in the Catholic cemetery.  Miss Anna Bracken was home from 
Kalamazoo to attend the funeral.
