OBITUARY--DECEMBER 2, 1915
SUDDEN DEMISE OF RESPECTED RESIDENT
Sudden death came to John H. Covert, of Northeast Fork, on the morning of Nov. 
27th.  After having performed his usual labor and chores the preceding day, he 
was evidently feeling as well as usual, but on the morning of the 27th when 
his little grandson went to call him for breakfast, they discovered that he 
was to awake in this world no more.
He was born on January 31, 1836, in Seneca Co., N. Y. , and in the following 
year his parents moved to Oakland county, Michigan and lived there until the 
fall of 1844, when he moved to Gaines township, Genesee county.  There he made 
the acquaintance of Miss Mary A. Jewell, whom he married on July 4rh, 1859.  
To them were born five children, Jesse B., Alvina Ann, Martin E., Alonzo J. 
and Claud A.,  His wife died March 3rd, 1870.
He remained single until July 24th, 1872, when he married Mrs. Phebe Marble, a 
widow with one son, Jerrie D.  To them was born three children--Lena M., 
Charles H. and Mary I.  He resided in Gaines until 1897, when he and his 
family moved to Fork township, Mecosta Co.  His wife, Phebe, died April 18, 
1905, and his remaining years were spent with his son, Charles, and wife.  His 
children that survive him are Mrs. Joseph Harris, Mr M. E. Covert and Mrs. 
William Brewer of Flint.  A. J. Covert of Gaines;  C.W. Whitmore, of Clinton  
Ontario;  Mrs. Abner Tibbits of Monday township and Charles H. Covert, with 
whom he resided; also one brother, Robert Covert, of Linden, all being present 
at his funeral except Jerrie Marble, Claude Whitmore and Robert Covert.
