When a small boy he came with his parents to Milan, Michigan where he has always lived. His life was an open book which always espressed in a frank way his convictions. About five years ago he gave his life to Christ and the Church. Since then his life has been an expression of the best things and the hope of his profession of faith. It will be difficult to estimate the fine influence his life has been among the younger folks, as he tried to set forth before them only the best examples and habits. His anxiety over the sowing of good seed insures a good harvest. A good man has passed from this life, but his life and his examples live on. He leaves to mourn his loss, a devoted wife, three daughters, Mrs. Douglass, Mrs. Kader, Mrs. Bracken, one sister, one brother, and a host of friends. CARD OF THANKS We wish in this way to express to our many freinds our heartfelt thanks and appreciation for the many kindnesses and for the beautiful floral offerings sent us during our bereavement. We wish espcially to thank Rev. Houck for his kind words and Mr Jay Raplee for the music. Also to thank the Pythian Sisters, the Maccabees, both Knights and Ladies, and the Aid Society and the Weslyan Class for the flowers which were sent. Mrs. Jacob Ferman Mr. and Mrs. Fred Douglass
