Ionia Standard - Friday, Jan. 28, 1887

The late Mathias Orth was born in Alsace, France, in 1805 and came to this country 
in 1830, settling in Philadelphia, Pa. In 1832 he married Caroline Greyer and moved

to the State of Ohio, where he resided 26 years. He then moved with his family to 
Michigan and located on the farm known as the "Phillips farm," now the Darins Holden

farm, in the township of Ronald. After living there eight years he retired from 
farming and took up his abode in Ionia, where he has since lived. He was the father

of eleven children, of whom four sons and three daughters survive him. They are: 
Fred, Jacob, Louis P., Chas. M., Mrs. Jacob Schmoltz, Mrs. E. Zank and Mrs. Jules 
Taubert, all of Ionia. He also leaves twenty-five grandchildren and ten great-
grandchildren. He was a genial companionable man and held the respect of who enjoyed

his acquaintances and as a husband and father he was among the kindest.
