Isabella County Enterprise 11 Jan 1889 p1c2
     Myron D. Knowlton, of Lincoln township retired Wednesday night in usual health.  
He
was sleeping up stairs while Mrs. Knowlton was attending a sick child.  Mr. Knowlton 
kissed the
child and said "good bye," instead of the usual good night.  In the morning de did not 
come down
and build the fires as he had done.  Mrs. Knowlton called to him but received no reply.  
She went
up tp his room and found him in bed a corpse, and herself a widow with three children to 
care for
alone.  Mr. Knowlton had been complaining some lately that his heart did not feel right 
and it is
thought he died of heart disease.  His funeral will occur to-morrow at 1 o'clock and will 
be
attended by the Shepherd lodge I.O.O.F. of which he was a member.
