Isabella County Enterprise-December 05, 1890
Isabella County Enterprise, Volume XXVI Friday December 5, 1890, page 1, column 2
 
William Whitehead died Tuesday at the advanced age of 74 years and 6 months.  he
was one of the early settlers of this county, having lived here over twenty-two
years and was a respected and honored citizen.  In his earlier years, he was a
member of the Church of England and his request was that his funeral service
might be the form of that church.  He was born, raised and married in England
and with his family, wife and three children, came to New York state nearly
fifty years ago.  There four other children were born.  Twenty-two years after
his arrival from England, the wife and mother died, and a few years after with
five of his seven children, he came to this county, having married the present
Mrs. Whitehead before starting.  One child resulted from this marriage and six
of his children, George and Frank, Mrs. Chas Slater, Mrs. Henry Ellsworth,
Carrie and Susie still live here.  The esteem in which Mr. Whitehead was held
among his children was fully demonstrated by their faithful and untiring efforts
to make his last days as comfortable as possible.  No word was left unspoken or
act undone by any of them whereby they could cheer him to the time of his death.
 The funeral, conducted by Rev. E. L. Kellong, was held Thursday attended by a
large number of his friends and relatives and the interment was at Riverside
cemetery.
