CASS CITY CHRONICLE - FRIDAY, JANUARY 16, 1931, page 1, column 1
AMUEL FRUTCHEY DIED IN FLORIDA
For 31 Years in Business Here and Was President of Cass City Grain Co.
Amuel Frutchey, for many years president of the Cass City Grain Co, and for 31 years a business man in Cass City, died suddenly Friday in St. Petersburg, Florida, at the age of 82 years.
He was born in Bangor, Pa., and in that state in 1869 he was united in marriage with Miss Lydia Sarah Ettinger. They came to Michigan in 1877 settling at Troy. A few years later, they moved to a farm near Deford, later coming to Cass City where they resided until November, 1921, when they went to live in Saginaw. Mrs. Frutchey died in that city on May 14, 1923.
Mr. Frutchey commenced business life in Cass City in 1890 when he and E. A. McGeorge engaged in the wholesale egg business. A few years later, they purchased with A. H. Ale, the grain elevator of A. G. Berney. The firm name was Frutchey, Ale & McGeorge. A year later, Mr. Ale sold his interest to his partners. Mr. Frutchey's sons, Joseph and Herbert, became interested as partners in later years and the company was incorporated under the name of Cass City Grain Co. After several years with the company, Mr. McGeorge sold his interest to the Frutchey family. The company's business expanded rapidly and at one time they owned and operated 17 elevator plants, 12 in Michigan and five in Colorado.
The company's main office was moved from Cass City to Saginaw in 1921, and since that time Mr. Frutchey has made his home in that city except for a number of winter seasons which he spent in Florida.
The body arrived in Saginaw Tuesday and the funeral service was held Wednesday afternoon at 1:30 at the home of Joseph Frutchey, 409 Stark Street, and at two o'clock at Oakwood mausoleum, with Rev. Wm. W. Edwards of the Harbor Beach Presbyterian church officiating.
Surviving are his widow, Mrs. Barbara Frutchey, one daughter, Mrs. Alice Nettleton of Cass City, and two sons, Joseph Frutchey of Saginaw and Herbert Frutchey of Gaines.
