The Belding News, Friday, January 8, 1904
Albert Wilder was born  at Muir, Ionia county, Mich., in 1875 and died 
Saturday, December 26, 1903.  Most of his early life was spent at Big Rapids, 
Mich., with his parents.  After his father’s death in 1893, he lived with his 
mother until her death in 1989.  For several years previous to her death, his 
mother lived in Smyrna.  For the last five years made his home with Mrs. Fred 
Purdy, three miles west of Smyrna.  He had not had good health for several 
years and for the last eighteen months he sank rapidly, being confined to his 
bed the last three months.  He leaves two aunts, the only surviving 
relatives.  

All that could be done by kind and loving friends to supply his every need and 
comfort was cheerfully done.  He was a member of two fraternal orders, the 
Gleaners and the Maccabees.  Many beautiful flowers bore evidence of the 
esteem in which he was held by his friends. 

The funeral took place at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Purdy on Tuesday, Dec. 
29, the Rev. H. N. Spear of Belding preaching the funeral service.  The burial 
was at Muir on Wednesday, Dec. 30.  Loving friends from the lodges of which he 
was a member, and from the neighborhood accompanied the remains and attended 
the burial.
