Berlin [Kitchener, Ont.]: [s.n.]. _____________________________ Age 83 years, 11 months, 28 days Nearly 84, passed away Saturday after a long illness. He lived for many years in Leighton Twp. and was well known here. Some years ago he sold his farm and went to California to be near a son and family - later he sold out there and came back here and purchased the M.E. Thompson property where the wife passed away about a year ago. He had been in failing health since and was given the best of care by his daughter, Mrs. Perrault, and his son and family of Chicago, a part of whom moved here and was with him constantly. He was fortunate in one thing, that he had no pain all during his illness. The funeral will be a t 2 PM at the late home. The relatives have the sympathy of their friends in the passing of a real man. Banner - Hastings, Michigan Wednesday, 2/16/32
