Arthur Van Blaricom passed away on Aug. 15, 1944, at the Pontiac State hospital, where he had been employed for the past 15 years.
He was born in Northumberland county, Ontario, June 27, 1869, and spent his boyhood days there, coming to Michigan in June, 1894.
He settled on a wild 80 in Kingston township, enduring the hardships of pioneer life. On Jan. 14, 1897, he was united in marriage with May McCracken. To this union were born five children, two of whom passed away in infancy.
Those left to mourn their loss besides the widow are Foster Van Blaricom of Highland Park, Mrs. Maurice Kelley (Amy) of Flint, Mrs. Edna Sadler; five grandchildren, Clinton Perry, Eichard Van Blaricom, Keith Arthur, Dona Fay and Mona May Sadler; two brothers, Alciberis of Codrington, Ont., and Sheridan of St. Louis, Mo.; and several nieces and nephews.
Funeral services were held in the Deford Methodist church of which he had been a member for over 30 years. Burial was in Novesta cemetery. Pallbearers were six nephews, Harvey Palmateer, Ross Van Blaricom, Oscar Valentine, Zeno Crittenden, Howard and Clare Patch.
Those from a distance who attended the funeral were Mrs. Fred Johnston of Toronto, Ont., Mr. and Mrs. Ross Van Blaricom, David McCracken, Mr. and Mrs. Ira Little, Mrs. Florence Schneider, Mrs. Carmer Weston, Mrs. John Hoffman, Mr. and Mrs. Clare Patch and daughter, Wilda, Mr. and
