Ionia Daily Sentinel Standard, 20 May 1920

Elmer A. Winchell, 625 East Lafayette street, was the son of the Lemuel and
Sarah Winchell and was born in Milton, Saratoga county, N.Y., Sept. 15, 1863. 
He felt peacefully asleep as the hands pointed the hour of 12 noon, May 17.  His
parents came to Michigan when he was four years of age and he received his
education in the Ionia schools, being a graduate of the class of 1880, and
finishing with a course at the Poucher Business college.  Soon after he left for
the far west spending 15 years traveling throughout the mountain states,
principally the states of Oregon and California.  He was an encyclopedia of
knowledge and delighted to impart to others the wonders he had seen.

He was married to Alice M. Young June 5, 1901, and she survives him.  He leaves
a brother, Adon Winchell, a sister, Mrs. Ida Peer of this city and many
relatives among the Winchell, Tyler and Grieves families, with a host of true
and loyal friends.  He was a member of the Merchants’ [unreadable] Reserve in
the Royal Arcanum.

The funeral service was held at his late residence Wednesday afternoon at 2:00
o’clock, the services being conducted by the Rev. E.E. Branch.  Mrs. Colwell and
Mrs. Beck sang.  The bearers were chosen from the orders to which he belonged
and were J.C. Beattie, Ira Cotton, G.F. Brown and M. M. McGeary.  Interment was
in Highland Park cemetery.
