The Portland Observer, Wednesday, May 17, 1893


Lewis Willey, one of the very oldest pioneers of Lyons township, and among the 
first settlers of Ionia county, died at the home of his  niece, Mrs. Clark, in 
North Plains township, on Friday morning last.  He retired in his usual health 
Thursday evening and upon being called Friday morning made no response.  On 
going to his room he was found dead in his bed, with his head resting on his 
hand, and appeared to be asleep, so peaceful had been his passing away.

He was upward of 78 years of age, a prominent farmer and a man of considerable 
wealth.  Years ago he was a familiar figure upon our streets, doing all his 
trading with our merchants, and many of our readers will well remember him.

The funeral services were held last Sunday and the remains were interred in 
the cemetery at Maple.
