County officers Drop In

Judge Webster, Probation Officer,
former county treasurer Thomas
Sparks. Samuel Pitt and Register Of
Deeds, Dan Lind, all of Ionia dropped
into the office Tuesday afternoon for
visit. They had been attending the
funeral of Frank l.. Moon well known
Ionia county man who was buried
that afternoon. They came in a big
Nash six automobile and each one
of the men denied ownership of the
car, but from the continued story
which we recently read in the county
seat paper relative to brand new
car which certain register of deeds
in this county was seen sporting
around in, we quickly came to the
conclusion that old Dan Lind was
some liar when he denied that the
machine belonged to him. We watch
ed when they left town and Dan was
driving, so the machine must be his
property.

OFFER FREE
VACCINATION TO
PREVENT DISEASE
PREVALENCE OF SMALLPOX IN
OTHER CITIES CAUSES CITY
COMMISSION TO ACT

The city commission at their last
meeting thought best to offer free
vaccination to any person in this city
who is desirous of being vaccinated
and immunized against possible at
tack of smallpox and for that rea-
son have authorized City Health Of
ficer, A. Z. Hollard to vaccinate any
one who presents themselves to him
for that purpose. In other years
when smallpox epidemics have struck
this and other cities, this treatment
was performed and charged for, but
the commissioners feel that it will
be conducive to better health TO take
this action now than to wait until
an outbreak of the disease has start
ed.
There are at present, no cases in
this city, but the usual time for its
spread is at hand and there are many
cities In the state in which numer-
Gus cases are reported. While the
choice of doctors in vaccination is en-
tirely up to the person who is to take
the treatment, the city health officer
is the only one to whom you can go
and have the trick performed with
out charge, as the city pays for the
vaccine and the work falls to DR..
Hollard as part of the duties of his
Office.

FRANK |. MOON
EXCELLENT CITIZEN
DIES SUDDENLY
PROMINENT MAN WAS STRICK-
EN- WHILE MOVING LAWN
AT COUNTRY HOME

Th e grim old man with the scythe
made a visit into this vicinity and
called home one of Ionia county's
best and we'll loved men when Frank
l.. Moon died suddenly at his coun-
try home at Cooks Corners, Friday
afternoon, shortly after five o'clock,
within fifteen minutes of the time
he first felt the attack and complain
ed of not feeling well. Mr.. Moon
had been in his usual good health
and was engaged in moving his lawn
when he first complained of not feel
ing well and went in the house to lay
down. Mrs. Moon thought best to
summon a physician, but by the time
she had returned to the house, he
was so far gone that he was unable
to speak and he passed away within
few minutes and before medical
aid could be given.
Mr.. Moon was the son of James
and Lydia Moon and was born in this
vicinity on March IL, 1850. He at
tended the district school at Cooks
Corners and grew to manhood and
lived in that neighborhood all of his
life. On April 18th 1872 he was mar
ried to Sarah Richmond, who sur
wives, two children who were born
to this union having died in infancy.
Mr.. Moon was a successful far
mer and a good business advisor. He
was supervisor of Otisco township
for ten years, was sheriff of Ionia
county for four years and at the
time of his death he was a member
of the board of directors of the Peo-
pies Savings Bank, where his advice
and counsel was held in high regard
and where he will be greatly missed.
He was also vice preoident of the
Citizens Light Company and for the
past year had been secretary of the
Farmers Mutual Fire Insurance Co.
at Ionia. He had been for many
years an honored member of the Ma
sonic order, Grattan lodge. His en-
tire life had been spent in Ionia coun-
ty and with the exception of the few
years at Ionia while holding Offices
which necessitated his living there,
of Otisco township. He was always
the foremost among those who work
ed for the moral. social and civic
betterment of the community and
was ever a staunch, true friend in
time of need. To sum it up, Frank
Moon was an excellent citizen and
friend TO everyone.
He was the last of tts cfllren Of
James and Lydia Moon and in his
passing not only the people of this
community, but the people of the en-
tire county, have lost one of their
most honored, influential and re-
spected citizens.
His funeral was held from the old
home at Cooks Corners, Tuesday af-
ternoon at two o'clock and was large
ly attended by Ionia county officials
and others from other places in the
county. Rev. II. S. Ellis officiated
and burial was made in Otisco GEM
etery.

Came Near Losing Car

Fred Hadley, the West Main st.
blacksmith had a disagreeable sur
prise sprung on him Tuesday morn
ing when he went out to his garage
to get the new Ford Sedan which he
has been enjoying for some time
past and found that the machine had
been on fire during the night and
that the floor Of the car, together
with the mat, cushions, ETC., were
burned beyond repaira nd what was
not burned on the insioe Of the car
was so badly scorched' and smoked
up that the entire inside of the ma
chine was practically ruined. The
Hadley's had been out with the car
until shortly after nine o'clock Mon
day evening and everything was all
right when it was run into the ga
rage and left for the night. Owing
to the fact that the windows and
doors of the machine were closed,
the fire smothered itself out. How
ever, had door or window been op-
en- the chances are that the machine
would have been entirely consumed
and a disastrous fire might have, re-
suited. ~
