OF MRS. JOSEPHINE CHATTERTON Josephine Forey was born Jan. 30, 1824 in
Port Ryesie, Ont., and departed this life March 9, 1909, at her home in Grout
township, Gladwin county, She leaves besides her own children,
thirthy-one grandchildren and twenty-four great-grandchildren who mourn her
loss. She was converted when 20 years of age, and united with the New
Connection Methodists, then a flourishing society in Ontario, but in later
years, when this church society became absorbed in others, she worked in any
church that was handy, until declining strength compelled her to cease all
outside activity. As a worker among the sick none excelled her. Her love for
humanity sent her out to minister to the afflicted, and many a life was spared
through her ready ministrations. "Grandma" was well-known for her
skil in restoratives, and as "we reap the crop we sow," so she reaped
and abundant harvest of loving care from relatives and friends in her last
sickness, that soothed her in her last hours. Funeral services were held Friday at 1 p.m.
at the West Grout M. E. church conducted by Rev. H. J. Nicholls, followed by

DAYS INCIDENTS
IN THE LIFE OF A GLADWIN MAN RECALL THEM AND OLD MIDLAND COUNTY NAMES Willard
Grout, Sr., of Gladwin county, died Feb. 28, the day after he had completed his
91st year. The Record gives some interesting incidents of Mr. Grout's life.
Having run short of money he at one time gave his note for $3 to Captain Bean,
of the famous steamer Belle Seymour, for transportation from Saginaw to
Midland, the remainder of the journey being completed in a canoe which was
poled up the river. He
was the first farm settler in the county and moved, with his family, to the
land where he has since lived in 1865. The Record says: Mr.
Grout's journey with his family to this county from Port Huron was by boat to
Bay City, and from Bay City to East Saginaw by stage. At East Saginaw there was
only one "tavern"---just across the street from where the Bancroft
house, now stands. The country between Saginaw and Midland was just settling,
Freeland was the first stopping place, and had a hotel. At
Midland Benj. Ball kept a hotel and at Edenville John McMullen kept a hotel,
soon after Charlie Axford established his famous hostelry. The journey from
Saginaw to Gladwin took three days, all by river, poling by canoe from Midland.
At Edenville, or "Sixteen" then called, Alex Bowman, S. Erway, D.
Burton and Zenas Weaver were their among the few settlers. Ralph Dunton started
his store there soon after. [Midland

PRIEST (16 APRIL 1825 - 19 MAY 1911) AT
A RIPE AGE IS CALLED TO HIS LONG HOME William Pries died at his home in Grout, May
19, 1911, aged 86 years, 1 month and 3 days, death resulting from diseases
incident to old age. Mr. Priest was born in Licking county, Funeral was held from his home at 1 p.m. and
from Grout school-house at 1:30 p.m., Monday, Rev. Betts of Gladwin officiating.
He was a man of sturdy constitution, excellent habits and fine moral character.
He continued to be active in his accustomed pursuits until long past the age at
which men ordinarily drop out of the ranks of the workers. He was a good
neighbor and there was no happier family circle than his. His best monument
will be the good report that he left behind him in the community in which he
lived. Weep not that his toil is over, Weep not that his race is run, God grant we may rest as sweetly, When, like his, our work is done. Call me not dead, Farewell friends, yet not farewell, Where I go you too shall dwell. I am gone before your face, A moment's worth, a little space, When you come where I have slept, We will wonder why ye wept: Ye will know by true love taught, That here's all and there is naught. Weep awhile if ye are fain, Sunshine sitll must follow rain. Gladwin

REID AND TWO SONS, OF GROUT, MEET DEATH IN A WELL WHILE GOING DOWN THEIRING FOR
A BUCKET---OVERCOME BY FOUL GASES. THE
DEAD. WILLIAM
REID AND TWO SONS, ARTHUR B. REID AND JAMES REID. The farm of William Reid, four miles west of
Gladwin, was the scene Sunday of one of the most appalling accidents that ever
took place in Gladwin county, resulting in the death of William Reid and his
two sons, Arthur B. and James. The victims were overcome by gas in a well and
afterward drowned. The fatal well is within a few feet of the
Reid residence, and is 48 feet deep besides being banked up a few feet. It is
the old fashioned kind, covered with a well house, the water being drawn by a
windlass and bucket. A ladder is attached to one side of the well. On Saturday
the bucket became detached, falling in the water in the well, the water said to
be only three feet deep. Mr. Reid and sons were away from home, but when they
arrived Mrs. Reid spoke of the loss of the bucket. The youngest son, Arthur, left the house
about 8 o'clock Sunday morning, and he was followed by his father an hour or so
after. Nothing was thought of their absence, as it was customary for them to
visit neighbors near by Sundays. But subsequent events tend to show that the
son went down in the well after the bucket and was followed by the father.
James was in the house sleeping during the forenoon, but at 1 p.m. his mother
called him to get the bucket. While he was after the bucket, she got a pail of
water from a neighbor's well. Returning she noticed shoes and hat left by James
near the well. She looked for him in the well, but owing to the depth of the
well could not see the bottom plainly. However, she started down the well, but
better judgement prevailed, and she came back before going far. Then Mr. and Mrs. W. D. Morris were passing
along the road and were hailed. Mr. Morris started to go down the well, but
owing to warnings of his wife did not go. C. L. Ferrell, a brother of Mrs.
Morris, had a narrow escape from death by gas in a well only a year or so ago,
and the idea of deadly gas in the well then occurred. Neighbors were summoned
and with ice tongs the lifeless bodies were pulled from the well, first secured
being Arthur, next Mr. Reid, the father, then James, the son, in the order they
are supposed to have gone down. They were also found with their heads down.
Lanterns lowered in the well went out at a depth of 15 to 20 feet, and a cat at
same distance became nearly lifeless in a few moments. From these experiments
the supposition is that the victims fell into the water when they reached the
gas line at this depth. News of the sad affair soon spread, and many
visitors were on hand. Mrs. Reid was crazed with grief, and is in a serious
condition from the shock. Mr. Reid and family moved to Gladwin from Mr. Reid was 62 years old; Arthur B., the
youngest son, was 17 years, and James, the other son, 23 years of age. They
were well known and highly respected in the county. The sons had but recently
secured an insurance of $1,000 each in the Gleaners in favor of their mother. Funeral services were held Wednesday at the
schoolhouse in district No. 1, Grout, conducted by Rev. McGraham, pastor of the
Presbyterian church at Coleman, assisted by Revs. DeLong and Huff. The
attendance was a very large, the procession being nearly a mile long. The
remains were interred in two graves in the Grout cemetery, the father in one
and the two brothers in a grave together. Gladwin County Record dated

ANN (SIRDAN) RYAN (5 OCT 1960 - NOV 1986) Wife-Mother Fire
Sunday claims life of Billings Township woman A
26-year-old Beaverton woman lost her life in a fire that swept through her
one-story home in Billings
Township Sunday night. Polly Ann Ryan, who lived at 3944 Shorky St., was
pronounced dead
at the scene, Billings Township firemen said. Authorities said she was overcome
by the smoke and flames and an autopsy was done in Lansing Monday. Authorities
said Mrs. Ryan was home alone at the time of the fire. Her husband, Ricky Ryan,
was at a neighbor's house and reportedly
had gone home to check on his wife when he noticed smoke coming from the eaves. Apparently
Ryan called to the neighbors who reported the fire at 11:11 p.m. Ryan then
attempted to enter the home through a door, but was driven back by the intense
smoke and heat. He then broke windows out in the bedroom, sustaining cuts to
both hands, in an attempt to reach his wife. Ryan
was taken to the Gladwin Area Hospital, admitted for treatment and observation
and discharged Monday morning. When firemen from the Billings Township Fire
Department arrived, flames were shooting out of the livingroom window and the single
story home was totally engulfed, authorities said. "From
what we're able to determine, it appears the fire was accidental," said
Billings fireman Ken
Storms. "It's a real tragedy." Billings firemen received mutual aid
assistance from the Edenville Fire Department, which sent a tanker, pumper and
personnel. This
is the first fire-related fatality since the Billings department was organized
14 years ago. Officials
have been unable to determine the cause of the fire or where it originated. One
area they are looking at is in the livingroom where Mrs. Ryan and a portable
propane space heater was found. Detective
Sgt. Jim Bush of the State Fire Marshall Division in Flint, was called in to
investigate. Bush, along with local authorities, spent most of Monday at the scene,
sifting through the rubble in search of a clue to determine the cause or fire
origin. Also assisting at the scene were the Gladwin Sheriffs Department,
Gladwin Emergency Medical Services of Midland Hospital and the Billings
Township Rescue Squad. The
home and its contents were a total loss and there is some insurance, firemen
said. This is the second fire fatality in the county this year. A Beaverton
woman lost her life in a mobile home fire Feb. 5, in the city of Beaverton. Mrs.
Ryan's obituary is on page 2 of this section. Gladwin County Record dated
