"John Garfield Westervelt was born in Hartland, Livingston County, Michigan on September 27, 1844 and departed this life on March 19, 1927, the cause of death being angina pectoris.
He had been a resident of Iosco County for more than 50 years and of Reno Township for 21 years, having successfully followed the occupations of blacksmith, farmer, and merchant. He has also held various offices of trust in the community.
In the passing of John Westervelt at his home in Reno on Saturday, the community has lost a well-respected citizen, noted for strict honesty in all his dealings.
He was a faithful friend, a loving and kind father and husband, and he will be sadly missed. The bereaved family have the sympathy of their many friends.
The funeral was held Tuesday from the Hale M E Church and interment was made in the Hale cemetery.
Those who came from a distance to attend the funeral were Mr and Mrs Charles Westervelt, daughter and son, Blanche and Robert, of Lennon, Mr and Mrs William
Glendenin, Elmer and Elizabeth Glendenin, and Mrs and Mrs ?? Boomer, all of Flint."
