ALBERT E. DEMEROST
Well Known Argyle Young Man a Victim of Pneumonia
Albert E. Demerost, who spent his boyhood days in Argyle where he attended school and grew to manhood, passed away in a Detroit hospital on Friday, Feb. 20, at the age of 23 years. He had been ill with pneumonia for two weeks. Funeral services were held at the home of his grandmother, Mrs. Neil McPhail, in Argyle township Sunday, Rev. Paul Allured of Ubly officiating, and interment was made in Elkland cemetery.
Following his return from France, where he was a member of the 85th division, Mr. Demerost entered the employ of the Burroughs Adding Machine Co. and he continued in their employ up to the time of his demise. Mr. Demerost had a large circle of friends who find it hard and particularly sad to give up one whose influence among men has been for good and who by precept and example in his brief career has shown that he was so well calculated to spread abroad the blessed influence of godly living. He was an enthusiastic Christian Endeavor worker and a member of the Masonic fraternity.
Floral tributes at the funeral were numerous and beautiful and attested to the love and respect in which the young man was held by his friends and acquaintances. Those from the Burroughs Co. and its employees are worthy of special mention.
Mr. Demerost is survived by his mother, Mrs. Flora Demerost, of Detroit, his grandmother, Mrs. McPhail, and several aunts and uncles.
