Cooper of Battlecreek, Mrs. Cal Sperry of Three Oaks, Mrs. Arminta Beger of Elkhart, Indiana, and Conrad Gunn of Kalamazoo.
His wife died about three years ago while they lived at Vermontville, and without doubt the grief of separation hastened his departure. He was a loving husband and a kind father.

Soon after he complained of pain in his breast and died very suddenly of heart failure.
