  Porter Trucks, father of Ray Trucks, Baldwin attorney and head of 
the Lake County Abstract Company, died at the latter’s home Monday 
night of a heart attack. He was 73 years old.

  Mr. Trucks had been ailing of the past four months and had been 
intermittently confined to his bed. He had been steadily failing of 
late and Monday evening had a more acute attack than usual. Dr. Stibal 
gave him a hypodermic that seemed to rally him for the time, but 
Attorney Trucks was called shortly before ten and was with his father 
when the end came.

  Mr. Trucks had made his home her the past four years, and has made 
many friends. He was a mason by trade and a good one, learning the 
trade as an apprentice and following it throughout his life. He was 
active up to the time of his last illness.

  Porter Trucks was born in Montpelier, Ohio October 13, 1857 and there 
married Sarah Kreigh 48 years ago. She preceded him in death by eight 
years. They moved to Scottville forty years ago and there reared their 
family of five boys, Ray of Baldwin, Glenn of Detroit, Fred of Flint, 
Kenneth of Benton Harbor and Max of Plymouth. In 1918 they moved to 
Plymouth were Mrs. Trucks passed away and was buried. The body of her 
husband was taken in the Duffing-Stephens funeral car to Plymouth 
yesterday morning at seven o’clock after a brief prayer service at 
the Trucks home, conducted by the Rev. D. J. Miller, Mr. Fred Trucks 
of Flint was here for the service, and the other sons met the cortege 
at Plymouth, where services preceded the interment at three o’clock.
