Passed to the higher life, in Paw Paw
Feb. I'd, 1888, Joshua Bangs, in the SOth
year of his age. While apparently ripe for
the sickle, yet he was patient sufferer from
diabetes for over two years. being tenderly
cared for by. his eldest daughter, during
twenty-one months confinement to his bed
He was born in the town of Wheelock, Gale
donia CO., VT, of Scotch parentage. April
18th, 1908, and was the 9Th of q family OF
ten children, only one of whom, sister
three years his senior, Mrs. DIR. Warner
formerly of this place., still survives him.
AT the age of thirteen his parents moved to
st. Adams, VT. aud four years later TO the
town of Sweden, Monroe Co.. n. Y. Was
married. February 14th, 1926. to Sophronia
Thrall, and lived in Western n. Y. until the
spring of 1886, when he came to Michigan
and purchased several tracts of government
land, among them the half section compris-
ing the b. G.. Sheldon and Bilsborrow farms
and some pine lands at Breedsville, together
with the farm one mile east OF the village
which he selected for home and remained
during the summer, living alone in shanty,
and erecting log structure for the shelter
of his family on their arrival, Nov. 9th of
the same year.
He was the father of seven children, four
of whom, with their mother, have passed OIL
before. His early advantages were limited,
never having attended district school but
three months. His strong tenacty OF
thought as we'll as purpose, without ostenta-
ton were among his leading characteristics.
He was strongly attached to family and
home, and would meet and resist adverse
winds, for their protection, with a great de-
gree of adherence.
N 10 ha
would take his ak and bundle of provisions
on his shoulder and follow trail to Breeds
vile, crossing the river on log at the Judge
Monroe place. and shantying ont while he
felled the trees for lumber to erect buildings
on his farm. He worked on tailor's bench
with his father until nearly the time of his
marriage, since which time he devoted his
energies TO the farm, with average success,
as viewed from physical standpoint.
Being one of the pioneers of the county, 4
he was somewhat identified with its early
history, and occupied positions of trust and
confidence, holding the office of County
Treasurer two terms, besides being elected
Supervisor and Treasurer of Antwerp at
other times. He was an acceptable member
of an Evangelical church for several years,
but when the news OF the noted Rochester
Rappings" spread over the land, he was at
tracted to them and began to investigate,
resulting in his avowal of belief in the
phenomena of what was termed "Modern
Spiritualism." from which no amount of
ridicule or ostracism could deter him. He
was ever ready to defend his opinions with
argument, and met his last transition with
the firm belief that he was only going to
meet those who had gone before, and that
his earth-work was fully completed. His
earth-life went out quietly as the ripe fruit
falls from the bough when natures work is
done. w.
