vessel in the brain. She made an appointment with Dr. Busch to do some dental
work, Nov. 28; after the work was done,
on their way home before they left Gladwin, Mr. Battees noticed as they were
talking that heir speech grew thick, spoke of it to her, and suggested taking
her back to consult with a physician. She objected, but as she grew worse, he
insisted and she said no more. He drove back to Dr. Leininger's, and with the
help of one other, she walked to the office, but nothing could
be done. About midnight Thursday they called both Drs. Leiniger and Suylandt,
and they visited her Friday. No help was found, and she never regained
consciousness. A
message was sent to Jack Battees at Mishawaka, Friday noon, and with his wife
he reached Gladwin, Saturday noon only to learn that their mother had died. The
deceased was born in Cumberland county, Illinois, June 10, in 1854, the
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Richards. They removed to Columbus, O., the same
year. Mary Richards was united in marriage with J. C. Battees at Marysville, near

deceased with the family all at home excepting Jack Battees, removed from 0.,
to their present home in Gladwin county in August., 1899, hoping the change

distances, working in the Sunday-school and
church at Round Lake; until the German Baptist church was established, and was
a frequent visitor at North Sage, and Sherman F. M. churches. Mr. and Mrs.
Battees united with the Church of Christ near Paulding Center, Ohio. She was a
devoted wife and mother, and as time passes she
will be greatly missed from many places. The pioneers are dispersing; time is

aged 84 years, at his home at Wagarville in Gladwin township, in which township
he had lived 45 years. Mr. Bellinger was born in November, 1833, in Bellinger
township, Mr. Bellinger, knew privation and sacrifice
few can understand a tthe present time. With no roads, distart markets, and neighbors,
if at all, far apart, with few companions except the wild inhabitants of the
forest, yet he steadily held to his purpose until he saw the obstacles yield
and his family surrounded by the comforts of life. Coming as he did of sturdy There were born to Mr. and Mrs. Bellinger 10
children, four boys and six girls. Of the girls, Carrie and Gertrude, and one
boy, Daniel, preceded him to the other world. Three boys, Ross and Melvin of
Gladwin and George of California, with four daughters, Mrs. Gil Koontz, Mrs.
John Foran, Mrs. Ernest Collins and Mrs. Norman Wagar, are living and all
except George were priviledged to be with their father during his last
sickness. About 18 years ago, during the pastorated of Lev. A. C. Peters, he
united with the Methodist church at Wagarville, to which he had been faithful
ever since, attending its services whenever health and strength would permit. His health had been failing for some time,
but true to the habits of his life he kept about the house until 24 hours
before his death. His funeral was held Sunday, Nov. 4, at the Methodist church
in Wagarville in charge of his pastor, Rev. W. W. Chatfield, attended by his
old neighbors and friends beyond capacity of the church to seat. The floral
offerings were abundant and beautiful, speaking louder than words of the esteem
in which he was held. His body was carried by six of his old neighbors and laid
in the Ridge cemetery by the side of the children who had gone before. The Record published the following sketch of
Mr. Bellinger's career Jan. 16, 1908, which will be read with interest at this
time. "One of the few residents of Gladwin county who can remember when
its virgin forests were a seemingly inexhaustible source of wealth is John
Bellinger. His residence in the county dated back to the year 1871, when he
came here in the employ of Myron Butman, driving one of his tote teams from
Sanford over what was known as the old Meridan road to the farm of Mr. Butman
in Gladwin township, now owned by W. B. Spike. After a drive of nearly 40
miles, mostly through the woods, the traveller found a clearing of nearly 40
acres, which seemed like an opening of extremely good proportions. "At that time the sole industry of the
country was lumbering, the winters being occupied in getting the timber to the
streams, and the summers in driving and getting ready for the winter's work.
"Mr. Bellinger was one of the first to perceive the possibilities of
Gladwin county for farming purposes, and in the year 1872 located on his farm
in section 29 in town 19 N., R. 1 W., Gladwin township, which he continued to
occupy until 1906, and which he still owns. For several years after taking up
his farm his nearest point was Edenville, or 'Sixteen,' as it was commonly
called, a distance of 25 miles, but It was considered quite the proper thing to
walk to "Settlers now locating in the county on
newer land have good roads, schools handy, church priveleges, good markets for
farm produce and the conveniences of a railroad for getting to and from the
county. A good grist mill is operated at Gladwin, and they know nothing of the
hardships endured by the early settlers in endeavoring to get a foothold.
Without any of these encourgements, Mr. Bellinger stuck to his farm, working on
it in the summer and working in the lumber woods in the winter. For many years
he drove to Farwell in Clare county to get his grist ground, over roads which
would now be considered impassable, and requiring three days for the trip. The
first 10 years of his residence on his new farm was spent in a small log house,
but as his circumstances improved he built himself a commodious farm house and
good farm buildings. For the past few years he has retired from farming, and
has lived at Wagarville. Gladwin County Record dated 11-08/1917 Column - 4 Page

his parents, Mr. and Mrs. George Blaney of Gladwin township, Oct. 28; aged 13
years, 2 months and 20 days. Roy was a promising boy, loved and respected by
everyone who knew him and his sudden demise was a sad shock to the family and
cast a gloom over the whole community. Suddenly and unexpectedly disease fastened
its fatal fangs in the vitals of their sweet boy of promise and baffled every
medical attempt to save him. With
modest pride and affectionate hope the now sorrow stricken parents regarded
their only son, but somewhere in the great Divide program other things were
written for him. Death
came to our quiet home one day. And stole our noble boy away. We loved him more than we can tell, But know
God doeth all things well. Then we'll trust His mighty power and love, That
perfect gift that's from above. Were learning his blessed, blessed will. While
the Master says, "Peace, be still." Of
the immediate family Boy leaves to mourn his loss his parents, Mr. and Mrs. George
Blaney, and three sisters Mrs. John Ehle of Kalkaska, Mrs. Ray Shell of Butman
township, Mrs. Claude Card of Gladwin township, besides a host of relatives and
friends who feel they have lost one of their own number. The floral offerings
were many and bespeak the respect in which Roy was held. Funeral

the court-house. Rev. A. Robinson officiating. Mr. Carter was born in the state of By trade he was a carpenter and joiner. A
large share of his time was spent in hunting and trapping, and many a night he
spent under the spreading branches of the forests giants by the side of his
camp fire, with nothing but the rustling of leaves to disturb the deep silence
of nature. He was a member of two secret societies, the Orangemen and
Odd-fellows. In 1864, when the great fratricidal strife
was at its height, he shouldered his musket and marched southward to help
maintain the honor of our union. He was promoted from a private to a corporal,
but at the end of three months he received an honorable discharge, and returned
from the field of battle with injuries which finally caused his death, and
added one more name to the long list of martyrs who gave their lives to keep
the finger of disgrace from off their county's flag. His grandfather fought for
liberty in the revolutionary war, and his father was a soldier in the Mexican
war. Underneath his rough exterior there beat a
heart as true as steel, and those who knew the friendship of "Uncle
Billy" will tenderly cherish memory. Gladwin County Record dated

DASSAY (- 6 DEC 1935) COUNTY PIONEER DIES AT REDFORD Edward Dassay Succumbs To Illness of Three Weeks Edward Dassay, one of Gladwins pioneers, died
Friday, December 6, at the home of his daughter, at Redford. His health had
been failing for two or three years. He was confined to his bed about three
weeks. He was born in Braumberg, Germany. At about two
years of age he left with his parents for New York City in a sail boat. After
42 days on the ocean they landed at Quebec, Canada, instead of New York City on
account of storms. The passengers were somewhat disappointed when they landed
in Canada, but thought they were fortuntate to land at all. His uncle and family, who prepared to come at the
same time, were delayed by sickness. The boat in which they sailed was driven southward
by storms, finally landing in Venezuela, South America. From Quebec his parents came westward settling in
Stratford, Canada. They remained there several years before coming to Traverse
City, Michigan. Leaving Traverse City in a short time they moved to Detroit.
They returned to Traverse City on a frail lake steamer. They left Traverse City
again, moving to Saginaw; from Saginaw to Gladwin, which at that time was known
as Cedar. He was a subscriber to the Gladwin Record at its beginning and a near
friend of Eugene and Isaac Foster. His father homesteaded the eighty acres which the
fourth generation of his descendants are being reared at the present time. Mr.
Dassay bought the homestead rights of the eighty lying west of his father, from
A. J. Stevens, which he owned at the time of his death. On May 12, 1884, he was
united in marriage to Martha Long. His wife and daughter Elizabeth preceded him
in death. Surviving are his son, Warren, his daughter, Mrs. Bernard Hiller, and
six grandchildren. He worked on the homestead in the summers and in the
lumber camps, owned by Wright & Ketcham, Tom Nester and E. C. Diffin,
during the winter. He was present and took active part in many logging bees. He loved to travel and although uneducated he made
several trips to states of Washington, Oregon, Florida, California, Montana, Idaho
and through several of their large cities. The funeral services were held at the sons home Sunday
at 1 p.m., Rev. Ivan E. Hodgson officiated. Outside relatives present at the funeral were Mr.

C. DIFFIN WAS
RESIDENT OF WARM
POLITICAL TIME WITNESSED
CHANGE FROM The death of Ephraim C. Diffin Sept. 19
removed one of the early pioneers of the county. Coming to Gladwin county in
1869, he had been a resident of the county for 41 years, and had seen the
crooked, narrow log roads give place to regular highways and farms responding
bountifully to the husbandman's toil where first he knew the virgin forest. EPHRAIM
C. DIFFIN In his early days Mr. Diffin was occupied in
lumbering, and conducted large jobbing operations. During these days he became
intimately acquainted with Wellington R. Burt, Major Butman, the Rusts, Arthur
Hill and other men who afterwards became "pine barons." Forcible and
kindly, his relations with these men were such as to create a mutual
friendship. When the county was organized in 1876. Mr. Diffin was chosen its
first county clerk, which position he held for two years. After this he was
elected supervisor of Gladwin township, which then comprised the whole north
half of the county, subsequently being elected for several terms. The early history of Gladwin county was a
long struggle with grafters. The building of the courthouse formed a rich
field. With only three supervisors the organized townships were Gladwin, Grout
and Vigorous methods were instituted by this
board, and the Gladwin County Record, under the direction of the present senior
editor, a boy who had not at that time reached his majority. To quiet the
Record its office was surreptitiously entered on the night of July 2, 1879, and
its type and forms pied. Much tedious labor followed, but the Record continued
to be issued, while Mr. Diffin and Mr. Foster armed with guns were on guard for
several nights thereafter to keep off intruders. He was the first nominee on
the Republican ticket for county treasurer, but was beaten in the election by
Oscar R. Dow, who resigned in 1885. Mr. Diffin was then appointed as county
treasurer to succeed him, and in 1886 and 1888 was re-elected, thus holding the
position five successive years. At the time of surrendering the office of
county treasurer, it was discovered upon the settlement that he was short in
his accounts. He promptly turned over his property for the satisfaction of his
shortage to the county, and it was amply protected from any loss. Mr. Diffin
then went upon a new piece of land, and with no capital but his industry and a
heart big with courage made for himself a good farm, which he recently sold for
a sufficient sum to have guaranteed him a home for his old age. It was always Mr. Diffin's belief that he
had been wrongly dealt with by assistants in the office, and that good
bookkeeping would have revealed conditions in his favor. Certain it is that no
one familiar with the facts believed that he had profited in any way be having
held the office. In 1886 there were elected besides Mr. Diffin as county
treasurer, John McCormick as sheriff, Isaac Hanna as probate judge, W. E.
Barber as prosecuting attorney, W. H. Berry as register of deeds, C. H. Pearson
as circuit court commissioner and George Freeman as surveyor, all of whom preceeded him to their final resting
place. Mr. Diffin at one time was a member of the
Gladwin city council. He was one of the liberal contributors to the building of
the Gladwin M. E. church. In his prosperous days his pocketbook was always open
for any worthy enterprise or individual need. Those who knew him well can have
but the kindliest memories of him. Mr. Diffin was born in the state of PVT

Anna Dyck Mrs.
Anna Dyck was born April 25, 1872, in the village Rosenberg, Govrnmt
Jekaterinoslaw, Russia. Her parents later moved to Molotschna Village,
Morganau, where she received her education at the hand of teacher David Dirksen. In
the winter of 1892 she testifies that she was born again unto the living hope
in Christ and was baptised on April 12th of the same year and became a member of
the Mennonite Brethren Church at Ruecknau. On the 31st of January 1893 Mrs.
Dyck was married to Peter Reimer. Their two children preceded their mother in
death in their early childhood. For
several years they lived in the Maltschner Colony and in 1910 they moved to a
place near Omsk in Siberia. Soon after they arrived there Mr. Reimer passed away
and Mrs. Reimer for a time made her home with her married sister, Mrs. H.
Wiebe. On
October 16th, 1911, she was married to Rev. H. Dyck. She joyfully took up the
care of five minor children to whom she became a most loving and devoted
mother. The oldest son, Peter, was 14 years and the youngest, Mary, was 4. In
1916 their son Peter died in Moscow. During the days of the Revolution in 1917
they again had to move, this time to the Molotschna Colony in the Village of
Guadental. Here they remained until 1922 when they undertook to move to America
in a long roundabout journey that took them more than a year and a half. They
arrived at the port of New York on October 7th, 1923. Our
mother took sick and was ailing very seriously all through the winter of 1943
but the following month of May brought on her complete breakdown and since that
day needed and received the loving and best possible care of her loved ones. She
would like to have lived but was sincerely surrendered to the Lord's will,
saying: "The Lord knows best." After
all these many days of suffering last Tuesday, July 26th a decided
change came over her. She realized that the end was very near. But because of
the intense suffering she made a request for the doctor. What the hand of man
could do was done, but could not change the fact that death was near. Her
suffering grew less and very quietly she breathed her last, on Wednesday July 27th
about 1:35 a. m. The
passing of Mrs. Anna Dyck is deeply mourned by her family and husband, Rev H. Dyck,
two daughters, Mrs. P. Langeman of Leamington, Ontario, Canada, Miss Mary Dyck
at home, A. Dyck of Gladstone, Oregon, and seven grandchildren; also one
sister, Mrs. H. J. Wiebe of Leamington, Canada, besides very many other
relatives and friends. The

Baptist Church who also brought the memorial message. Short addresses were also
given by Rev. J. Kroeker, now of Leamington, Canada, and Rev. Richmond of the

If friends of mine can only say That I was faithful to them all; That I had time for them each day And answered every piteous call For help, that fell upon mine ears And stretched my hand out, here and there I shall not when death's form appears, Hold back, afraid with him to fare. If it can just be said of me That I have borne my burdens well That good in folks I've tried to see That good in men I've tried to tell That I have faced my time of strife, With patience, and have been your friend, That helpfully I've lived my life I shall not fear to face the end--- If I can strew along my way The roses of remembrances sweet Can leave a few friends here to say That I have cheered them in defeat If I can leave in your own heart O One trace of me when I am gone When from this life I shall depart I shall not fear to journey on.

forcibly impressed on the minds of the people of our community Friday evening
when it was announced that George Greer, who during the day and only a short
time previous to his death, had been moving about in his usual way. He had been
visiting in T. G. Ayre's barber shop, exchanging pleasantries with friends
there as was the custom, when at a little after5 o'clock he arose saying he
could not catch his breath. Without further explanation he walked to Dr.
Grover's office, and after reaching there made the remark that he thought he
would fall backward in climbing the stairs. He soon collasped and although
every effort was made to revive him the life thread was broken after some 15
minutes, and he who but a short time before was in apparently usual health had
passed to the life beyond. His sudden departure has cast a gloom over the
community. To the casual observer Mr. Greer appeared to be in
the best of health, but for some time had been subject to bad spells from
attacks of angina pectoris, having had a few bad spells recently, although he
had not complained to any of the family. George Greer was born Oct. 10, 1874, at Lindsey, Ontario,
and at his death Friday, March 21, 1924, was aged 49 years, 6 months and 11
days. When George was eight years of age his father moved to Gladwin county,
and made a home for the family in Gladwin township of which he was one of the
early settlers. His mohter died before they moved to Gladwin. In 1895 he was united in marriage to Lottie B.
Wilsey, who survives him. To this union five children were born Leslie who died
at Camp Custer, Oct. 18, 1918, Mrs. Carrie Garbers, Mrs. Maude Anderson and
Elmer of Gladwin and Mrs. Freida Norton of Flint. Mr. and Mrs. Greer lived on a
farm in Gladwin township until five years ago when they moved to Gladwin, where
they have since resided. While a resident of Gladwin township Mr. Greer filled
various township offices and since residing in the city has been aldermand of
the First ward. He had also been connected with the sherriff's office for some
years as deputy and under sheriff, filling the latter place under the last two
incumbents. In all stations of life he measured up to a high
standard, always trust-worthy, a good husband, kind father, and as a neighbor
held in high esteem. Besides the immediate family he leaves to mourn three
brothers and one sister, Fred of Burney, Calif., James, Adelbert and Mrs. Cyrus
Koontz of Gladwin. A brother Robert, died in December 1901. He also leave other
relatives and a host of friends. Funeral services were held Tuesday at the residence
conducted by Re v. W. J. Johnston, with a large attendence. The cermony atthe
grave in t he Ridge cemetery was conducted by Gladwin lodge I.O.O.F., of which
he was a member, a large representation of the fraternity being presents.

(BICKNELL) GREER (16 JULY 1854 31 MARCH 1927) MRS.
HANNAH GREER Hannah
Bicknell, the only daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Nathan Bicknell, and one of
Gladwin's oldest residents, was born in Camden, East Ontario, July 16, 1854,
and passed away at her home in Gladwin, March 31, 1927, aged 72 years, 8
months, 14 days. She
came to Saginaw in 1872 and was married to George Greer. The young couple came
at once to Gladwin township, and as pioneers started a home on a farm three
miles from Gladwin on the "Ridge," and where eight children were born
to them. In
1899 her husband passed away very suddenly and left her with the responsibility
of the farm and children, but this brave pioneer mother with the aid of her
sons carried on the
battle of life, clinging to the old farm which now was surrounded by kind and
sympathetic neighbors. Mrs. Greer's ancestors were of Puritan stock and these
sterling qualities were brought out in the teaching and training of her family
as well as in dealings with friends and neighbors. She firmly believed that at
heart the intentions of all people were good and was always reluctant to listen
to anything otherwise. For
the past fifteen years, Mrs. Greer has made her home with her well beloved
daughter and son-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Mark Kehoe, where "Grandma" was
always first in consideration and where she has left the stamp of her character
upon the second generation. For
a number of years, she has been made happy by the occasional addition to her
family of a daughter, in-law, or son-in-law, and particularly has she enjoyed
the number of grandchildren, who have played about her knee, or told her about
their childish joys, and sorrows. This was her chief pleasure during the past
six years when she has been more or less confined to the house. Of
the eight children in the family, six are living. Albert of Gladwin township,
who lives on the old homestead, Fred of Saginaw, Burt of Clare, Mrs. A. L.
Nauman of West Branch, Mrs. Mark Kehoe of Gladwin township and Minna of
Cleveland. All of these were at her bedside during her final illness of the
week preceding her death. The
funeral services were held at the home on Saturday afternoon, Rev. Charles
Peterson of Sanford officiating, and interment was made in Ridge cemetery.

HORMAN DROWNED Body
Found in Detroit River at EcorseMissing Since Nov. 11 The
body of Edward Horman was found in the Detroit river, near Ecorse, last week.
The river was being dragged in an effort to find another body, when the body of
Mr. Horman and another, said to be a priest who had been missing for some time,
was recovered from the same hole. Ed
Horman had been missing since Nov. 11, and during this time a watch by the
police for the body was kept up. He was a man of very steady habits, had been a
D. U. R. conductor for 17 years, and when he did not appear for his regular
duties the police were notified. The last time he was seen he was known to have
a considerable sum of money in his possession. The
body was identified by a bank book found in his clothing. The body was brought
to the home of his boyhood in Butman township for burial. Funeral services took
place Sunday afternoon, and he was buried by the side of his father and mother
in the Ridge cemetery. He
was unmarried, and is survived by two brothers, William Horman and Henry
Horman, who both reside on the home place in Butman township. A large number attended
the funeral, as he was well known in the neighborhood, and had many friends.
Gladwin County Record dated 5-22/1930 Column 4 Page 1. HENRY
HORMAN Henry
Horman of Oberlin was laid to rest at the Ridge cemetery last Monday. He had
been ill for some time. Though at times it seemed as though he would regain his
health, during the last few weeks it was quite evident that death would soon
claim him. Saturday he was taken to the Mercy hospital at Bay City and there
shortly after his arrival he fell asleep. Mr.
Horman was one of the pioneer settlers of Oberlin. He had seen this part of the
country change from a wilderness to a thriving community. He had certainly also
done his share to bring about that change. Mr.
Horman was born Oct. 22, 1853, in the state of Hannover, Germany. There in that
country he spent the early part of his life. In school which he attended eight years
he proved himself to be a very able pupil, leading his class quite a number of
years. In 1877 at the age of 24, he was married to Miss Doris Dorman. Five

the lake but the drowned man was not found until nearly morning, when a seine

breast. A more quiet, industrious and reliable boy could not
be found. In the spring of 1897 he came to Round Lake with Mr. and Mrs. Horner

o u n d Lake, Dec. 31As old neighbors and friends we sincerely regret the sudden
demise of John Horner, who sold his farm here a year ago on account of poor
health, and removed to Gladwin last spring. The first home of the family in
Gladwin county was in the DeLaurier neighborhood but soon after he built a
dwelling and they moved to his farm at Round lake, James Mardlin living across
the lake, Mr. Kingsbury a mile south, and Archie McMillan and the Babcocks four
miles north. G. W. Stuck and William Stuck came in the spring of 1898, and A.
P. Ross in August of 1898, since which time all the improvements have been made
between these points. John Horner helped Mr. Battees bring Mrs. Battees back
home and came to assist in bearing her to her long home. This neighborhood was well
represented at the funeral of Mr. Horner. The pallbearers were Henry Flach of
Oberlin, J. C. Battees, William Allen, David Schuler, George Schmidt, and A. P.
Ross. We feel the loss of our old neighbor, who never failed to give a helping
hand in sickness or death, and extend to the companion who is Left so alone,
and to the remaining members of the family and relatives, our deepest sympathy.

IN SECORD John B. Knight, 19, and Frederick Aldon
Heinz, 20, both of Gladwin were killed about 4:15 p.m. Tuesday afternoon when
their plane crashed and burned 15 miles northeast of Gladwin in Secord
Township. Knight was piloting the plane, owned by Sutherland Bros. Flying
Service, at the time of the crash. According to Hugh Sutherland, flying instructor,
Knight had qualified for his private pilot's license with more than 60 hours of
flying time. Heinz was with him as a passenger. In a statement to The Record this morning
Sutherland said that a witness to the crash had reported that when he observed
the plane it was doing tail spins. Sutherland said this was a violation of his
instructions to the pilot, which were to fly straight and level within a six
mile radius of the port and to practice take-offs and landings. The cloud
ceiling, he said, was 1100 feet when the plane took to the air and did not
permit any other manuevers. An altitude of 3500 feet with a low of 1500 is
necessary to do a spin with safety, Sutherland stated. The plane was a new one, recently purchased
by Sutherland Bros., who operate the municipal airport here. It was not
insured. Double funeral services will be held Friday at 2 p.m. from the Hall
Funeral Home with the Rev. John Scott, of the Methodist church officiating.

place is vacant in our home Which
never can be filled. Dearest
mother, how we miss you In
the week that has passed by, Since
you left us, sad and lonely, For
your home up in the sky. The
golden gates were opended, A
gentle voice said, Come And
with farewells unspoken, She
calmly entered home. We
miss our mothers presence; We
miss her kindly smile; But
we know shes safe in heaven While
we wait a little while. Mourners
all, God knows your sorrows, Wait
to comfort and to bless. Let
us look beyond earths darkness For

AWAY. Death
of John. McFarlane, a Pioneer of Gladwin County. The
death of John McFarlane, which had been expected for some time past, occurred
on Monday morning last. That wasting disease, consumption, had slowly but surely
done its work, until "Uncle John," as he was known by all, had to yield
to its fatal grasp. He died at his farm
in Gladwin township, where he had resided 13 years past, Mr. McFarlane was born
at Glengary Canada, and at his death was aged 62 years, 4 months and 2 days. He
was esteemed by all to whom he was known and had filled the offices of
superintendent of the poor, justice of the peace, and other offices. He was
united in marriage some ten years ago, and his wife survives him. He
was reared by Presbyterian parents, and three years since united with that
church, in which he filled the position of elder. He died as he had lived, at
peace with all, and in full assurance of his faith. A
large number of friends and neighbors attended the funeral services, which were
held at the church last Wednesday. Rev. S. C. Tiney preached an appropriate sermon
from the text, "Let me die the death of the righteous, and let my last end
be like his." (Num. xxiii-10.) The
remains were interred in the Gladwin township cemetery. Gladwin County Record

line. Justice Doane was called as acting coroner to the scene, and he with

parents and Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Malosh live on Glidden Road when the mishap
occurred about 10:30 a.m. Rushford said Mrs. Malosh had gotten into

wonderful memory and a sorrow too great to be told; But to us who have loved,

seriously injured were sent to hospitals immediately. The
Peck brothers and Rumminger were returning from a dance held at Art Whitney's Whitney
Beach resort. The car carrying the Kleiss brothers and party were enroute to
the dance. The cars came together about a mile west of the dance hall on the Highwood
road. So teriffic was the crash that the engine of the Peck car was driven back
into the body of the car, imprisoning the men. The gas tank exploded, spraying
the occupants of the car with gasoline and igniting their clothes. Sheriff Investigating The
boys were helpless to extricate themselves from the car. At first their
clothing was burned off and their bodies seared. Efforts of passing motorists
to null them from the car were at first foiled by the gas explosions and bursts
of flame from within the car. Finally, however, all three were taken from the
car. Sheriff Ray Cowell and Deputy Leonard Merrick are in charge of investigation
of the case. Statements will be taken from the six passengers in the Kleiss car
as soon as they are in condition to testify, the sheriff said. Edwin
Kleiss, driver of the car, says he was blinded by the approaching headlights
and that visibility
was further blurred by frost on the windshield, officers reported. FUNERAL SERVICES Funeral

OF MRS. JEROME SECORD I was born in I lived there until the age of 22, when I
was united in marriage to Jerome Secord of The first winter Mr. Secord trapped furs to
the value of $1,800 and in the spring took them to More settlers began to move in and roads and
footpaths became numerous. My husband has carried 50 pounds of flour from In September, 1907, I went with my daughter,
Mrs. William Leaton, and family to From my earliest recollection I was taught
and believed in the Catholic faith. On Feb. 7, 1923, God for Christ's sake
forgave me of my sins, and I was born again, truly converted to God. Old things
passed away, and all things became new. I was a new creature in Christ and
ready for Heaven, enjoying my new faith. On August 19, 1923, I was stricken with a
paralytic stroke which disabled me so I could not walk, but having a wheel
chair, I have enjoyed many days praising God. I know this is the place to
prepare for Heaven, as there is no repentance after death. Such are the last
days of one of the old pioneer settlers of Gladwin, saved and sanctified, and
living for God, just waiting for His coming. May all my old friends find Jesus
as precious to their souls as I have to mine. May God bless and grant we may
all meet in that home Jesus has gone to prepare for all his faithful followers
here below. Yours
