FRED WIELAND OF BOWNE TOWNSHIP DIED SATURDAY FEBRUARY 10TH
A Former Resident of Campbell Church and Sunday School Worker Leaves Many friends.

Fred Wieland of near Elmdale, but at one time a resident of Campbell, on the farm
bought of Mr. Ernsberter west of Lake Odessa, died at his home in Bowne township, February
10th.

Mr. Wieland was particularly intricated in Church and Sunday School work and was 
practical in his religious views and life.

The Church loses a worker and the community a friend and neighbor

OBITUARY
Fred Wieland was born in Bowne township, Kent Co.. Dec. 20, 1872, and departed this
life Feb. 10th 1923 at the age of 50 years, 1 month, and 21 days. In the year of 1894 he
was united in marriage with Mary Weaver of Campbell. To this union were born four
children, namely, Ray of Grand Rapids, Charles of near the present home north of Freeport,
Myrtle and Minnie at home.  Besides rearing their own family, it can truly be said he
opened his home of an orphan child, Fred Holswarth, who has now grown to manhood, and at the 
present are in the home, Howard and Donald Quets.

About 19 years age he with his wife united with the Brethren Church near Elmdale in
the faith he remained a faithful, devout Christian until the messenger called him from
his earthly home to a home not made by hands, eternal in the heavens whose builder and 
maker is God.

Besides the sorrowing family are left a sister, Mrs. Sarah Tischer, near Lake
Odessa, one brother, Chris Wieland of Lowell, one aunt, Mrs. Martha Magesse of Marshall and a
number of cousins, a large concourse of dear friends who will greatly miss him, especially
in the church and Sunday school where he has been an earnest worker as long as health 
permitted.

Mr. Wieland has been a sufferer from valvular heart trouble for years and for the
last year had become very much afflicted and on January 28 became afflicted with malignant 
jaundice from which he gradually grew weaker and could no longer endure the 
complications. Thus the ending of another useful life which we can truly say the
world was made better by his having been with us for a while at least.
