Ionia Sentinel - Fri. Nov. 24, 1911

Solomon Perry Tanner, son of Solomon Tanner, was the 13th in a family of 
fourteen children, six of whom are still living; Judson, Marshall, Dora, 
Elizabeth, Dell and Carson. He was born in Berlin township, April 19, 1856, his 
parents coming to this country in 1843

Perry was married in 1878 to Etta Arstena LaDow. To this union were born seven 
children, four of whom are still living: Robert, Vernon, Abram and Lodema. 
Robert has been in Chicago and Vernon in Detroit, but both came home when their 
father’s illness assumed a serious phase in August and have remained here since.

Perry was employed in the P.M. car shops for seventeen years and in the Ionia 
Wagon Works for eight years. For the last ten years he has worked on his farm 
at northern end of Union street. He was known as a faithful employe, a good 
citizen and an affectionate husband and father, seeking to do his duty in all 
the relations of life.

Death came to close his useful and unpretending life Nov. 16, 1911, and he 
passed away in the serene and peaceful manner most to be desired. The funeral 
was from the home Saturday afternoon, the service by Rev. D H. Shelly and the 
singing by Mrs. W. L. Peck and Mrs. Jessie Hicks, with Miss Greta Brooks at 
organ. Among those in attendance from out the city were: Judson Tanner, 
Stanton; Mr. and Mrs. Marshall Tanner, Berlin; and Mrs. Elizabeth Minier, Big 
Rapids. The bearers were three sons and a nephew: Robert, Vernon , Abram and 
Fred Tanner. Interment, Highland Park.
