NORMAN M’LEOD DEAD

WELL-KNOWN FIGURE AT BALDWIN GARAGE FOR PAST 5 YEARS PASSES AWAY

  Norman MacLeod, father of Angus E. MacLeod of Baldwin Garage, and 
father-in-law of Judge Ray Trucks, passed away at 2:30 Monday morning
at the age of 68, after an illness of several months. Death was due to 
ulcers of the stomach, in the belief of physicians who were unable to 
definitely diagnose his malady.

  Mr. MacLeod came here in 1922 and since then has been a familiar 
figure at the garage. He was known to motorists from many states who
dropped in at the place for gas, oil or to submit their punctures and 
blowouts to his practiced hand. He continued in his work until last 
fall and since November he was unable to do any active work. For
several weeks past he has been confined to his bed and despite the best 
of medical care, was unable to retain any food, and his vitality soon 
ebbed to a point where life could no longer be sustained. He had a 
splendid constitution, and his mind was clear up to the instant of his 
passing.

  Mr. MacLeod was born in Inverness Shire, Scotland, April 12, 1859. As 
a youth he emigrated to Canada and later crossed into the States, going 
to Wolverine, where he was employed by the Hawk Lumber Company as a filer. 
His trade was a molder, but he had a wide capacity for mechanical work 
and was an excellent workman. When his son Angus moved to Baldwin to 
engage in the garage business, his parents soon followed, their other 
children being married and in homes of their own. Since 1922 they have 
made their home here.

  Mrs. MacLeod survives him, also three daughters, Mrs. J. W. Haworth of 
Spokane, Mrs. Urban O’Connor of Bellingham, Wash., and Mrs. Ray Trucks of 
Baldwin. One son, Angus E. MacLeod, also survives, two brothers, Don, of 
Richmond, Mich. and Malcom, of Detroit, and one sister, Mrs. Mary Doonan, 
of Spokane. All his children were with him at the end.

  Funeral services were held in the Baldwin Congregational church at two 
o’clock Wednesday afternoon, and a large gathering of old friends was 
present to pay their last respects to his memory. The Rev. W. A. Alleyne 
delivered a comforting sermon and a brief prayer at the graveside in 
Pleasant Plains cemetery. There were many beautiful floral contributions.

  Mr. MacLeod was a splendid Scotch gentleman and will be greatly missed 
by those who came to know him well.
