HAGE, MRS.
HELEN LYDIA, Muskegon. Helen Lydia Hage,
95, passed away on Wednesday, February 9, 2005 at Christian Care of
Muskegon. Helen was born on Dec. 16,
1909 to Louis and Lydia (Ehlers) Orlowsky in Chicago, Illinois. She and her beloved husband, Theodore (Ted)
Hage to whom she was married for 60 years made their home in the Chicago area
until they retired to Whitbeck Road in Montague. Helen and Ted spent many happy years there
together in retirement. Helen became
involved in the Montague Museum and the Montague Garden Club. In 1989 they moved to Pine Grove Manor in
Muskegon and made many wonderful friends.
Helen is survived by her very dear friend Norma Jones of Muskegon. Also surviving are her nephew, Dr. Marvin
Hage and his wife Miriam of Wilmington, NC, a very special great niece,
Elizabeth Hage of Alexandria, Virginia and her great nephews, Dr. William Hage
(Penny) of Raleigh, North Carolina and John C. Hage (Anna) of Princeton, New
Jersey. Although Helen lived to be a
senior citizen she was always young at heart and continued to enjoy life and be
active until very recently. She had a
curious mind and remained an avid reader and student. She loved the classes she took at Pine Grove,
was a loyal educational TV viewer, and was a faithful subscriber to Smithsonian
magazine. She loved to cook and to
experiment with new recipes. She never
missed Jeopardy! Although she did not venture far from Muskegon, in her mind
she traveled the world! Her infectious
laugh and straightforward “Chicago” sense of humor will be greatly missed by
those who knew and loved her. Over the
years she had many physical challenges but she always remained good natured and
optimistic. We are thankful for the joy
that Helen brought into our lives and will miss her a great deal. As a family we are so grateful for the love
and friendship that Norma Jones gave to Helen, especially in the last few
days, We are also grateful to the staff
of Christian Care for the support and care given to Helen. A celebration of Helen's life will be held on
Monday, February 14, 2005 at 1:00 PM at Sytsema Funeral Home, Inc., 737 Apple

Alcohol
linked to crash that kills two By ROGER MORGENSTERN Chronicle
staff writer. A
second young man has died from injuries caused by a one-car accident in Blue
Lake Township early Wednesday morning.
And the county medical examiner now says the driver – who also was
killed – was drunk at the time of the crash.
A back-seat passenger in the vehicle, Robert William Miesch, 19, of 7740
Carefree, Whitehall, died of head injuries Wednesday night at Butterworth
Hospital in Grand Rapids, a spokesman said.
Miesch had been flown to Butterworth from Muskegon General Hospital
shortly before 2 a.m. Wednesday. An
autopsy performed on the driver, Bruce C. Hager II, showed the 20-year-old
Whitehall resident had a blood-alcohol level of 0.222 percent, according to Muskegon
County Medical Examiner Dr. Henry DeLeeuw.
Hager died at the crash scene.
Hager’s blood-alcohol level was more than twice the legal limit. A level of 0.1 percent is the legal threshold
for drunk driving charges, according to state law. State Police troopers investigating the
accident were not available this morning and officials at the Grand Haven Post
had not seen the autopsy reports and declined to comment. According to a state police report, Hager was
driving his new two-door 1995 Eagle Talon north on Blue Lake Road, three-tenths
of a mile north of Crystal Lake Road about 12:30 a.m. when he lost control of
the car on a curve. The car left the
road, rolled several times and struck at least two trees, the report stated. The posted speed limit is 55 mph and it
appeared Hager was exceeding that speed, troopers said. An investigation is continuing to determine
the car’s exact speed. A front-seat
passenger, Shane Robert Plichta, 19, of 2133 Fruitvale, Montague, was treated
and released with minor injuries at Hackley Hospital. According to the police report, all three
occupants were wearing seatbelts and both driver-side and passenger-side
airbags deployed. Hager was born in
Shelby but lived in the White Lake area his entire life. A graduate of Whitehall High School, Hager
was employed as a machine operator at CMI-Dearborn Inc. in Montague. He had attended Bible Baptist Temple. Hager is survived by his mother, LouAnn Bowen
of Whitehall, father, Bruce Hager Sr. of Twin Lake, a brother, Dyllon Hager of
Whitehall, a sister, April Hager of Whitehall, a stepbrother, Sean Hower of
Whitehall and a stepsister, Tiffany Hower of Twin Lake. Speaking for the Hagers, a family friend from
church said the young man always had his fellow high school students laughing. She said he was an avid skier and loved to
hunt and fish and also played the bass guitar.
“He was a caring person, very sensitive,” the friend said. “He was life to people around him.” Funeral services for Hager are Saturday at 1
p.m. at the Clock Chapel in Whitehall.
Clock Funeral Home in Whitehall also is handling the arrangements for
Miesch. Details were not available this
morning. Miesch, a Whitehall High School
graduate, is remembered as a natural
athlete with a wide range of friends.
Greg Boughton coached Miesch on the golf team for three years. “Bobby was full of life,” said Boughton this
morning. “He had this big grin. There was a lot of kid in Bobby Miesch. You could be angry at him and he’d get this
twinkle in his eye and you’d be laughing the next minute.” Miesch worked at
Whitehall Products in Montague through Manpower Temporary Services.

Crash kills
elderly Whitehall man. Heavy
ice and snow conditions apparently contributed to a fatal auto accident in the
city of Whitehall near the Business U.S. 31 bridge Thursday afternoon. KILLED WAS Robert Halgren, 70, of 2778 Duck
Lake Road in Whitehall Township. He was
pronounced dead on arrival at Muskegon General Hospital. Also injured in the two-car collision was
Joyce Dykman, 53, of 192 Robinhood in Montague Township. She was listed in fair condition this morning
at Muskegon General with multiple contusions and a broken nose. According to Whitehall Police Chief Orville
Smith, the accident occurred at about 2:30 p.m. on Thompson Street just north
of Hansen. The Halgren vehicle
reportedly was northbound toward the bridge into Montague when it crossed the
center line and was struck broadside by the Dykman vehicle. There were no passengers in either car. SMITH SAID weather conditions were poor and
the roadway was icy and slushy. Traffic
was stopped for about an hour along the busy thoroughfare connecting the two
cities. Halgren’s death marked Muskegon
County’s second traffic fatality this year.
Funeral arrangements were being made by Clock, White Lake.

Headlines: Victims of
Accidents (Pictures of two boys) Lawrence Harken
-Alfred Pearson Two Boys, 13,
Die in County Mishaps Two
13-year-old boys lost their lives in
outdoor accidents in Muskegon County yesterday afternoon. Lawrence Edward Harken, son of Mr. And Mrs. William Harken,
of 1831 Franklim street, Muskegon
Township, was killed when a rifle he had been carrying accidently
discharged as he stumbled and fell. Alfred Pearson, Jr., son of Mr. and Mrs.
Alfred Pearson of 5887 White road, Wolf
Lake, drowned when he toppled from a boat from which he had been fishing in the North Bay at Wolf Lake. The Harken tragedy involved a .22 caliber
rifle which had been dismantled three
months ago and since had been in imperfect working condition. Lawrence ans his
cousin, Ronald Maschke, 12 years old, of Chicago, had been walking along Muskegon Lake at the rear of
the Stewart Hartshorn Company plant. At
about 3:30 p.m. Lawrence stumbled and fell and the rifle accidentally
went off, the bullet striking him in the
face. RONALD had taken a bow and arrow
to the lake while Lawrence carried the
rifle. Ronald was slightly behind his cousin and frequently Lawrence would look over his right shoulder
to make certain Ronald was all right. As he
did that the last time, Lawrence stumbled. When he failed to rise,
Ronald rushed over and saw blood
streaming from his cousin’s face. He tried to stem the flow with a handkerchief, but it was impossible to stop
it. When his efforts to stop the blood
failed, Ronald ran to the factory. There
he met Earl D. Carpenter, a foreman, and Ray Herder, a toolmaker. Police and an ambulance were
summoned and the two men went with Ronald
to the place were Lawrence fell.
By the time Lt. Arthur Zillah of the Muskegon police department arrived, Lawrence was dead. THE TRIGGER mechanism of the rifle had been removed and the pin which holds the
barrel to the stock was lost. It was fired by
holding the barrel in the hands, pulling back on the firing pin and then
releasing it to strike the bullet.
Lawrence decided to take the stock along yesterday, pointing out the rifle did not shoot accurately without
it. The two boys were in a marshy,
isolated spot, seldom visited by
fishermen who frequent that area. To reach the boy, it was necessary for volunteers to wear boots borrowed from
the Muskegon Fire Department. LAWRENCE
was born in Muskegon Dec. 1, 1938. He would have entered 9th grade
at Muskegon Central Junior High School
next month. He was a member of Olivet
Evangelical Sunday School.
Surviving are his parents; a brother, Richard; A sister, Barbara; his grandfather, Edward Harken of
Muskegon. He was a nephew of Charles
Harken, veteran member of the sheriff’s department. FALLING from a rowboat from which he was fishing, Alfred Paerson, Jr.,
drowned in North Bay of Wolf Lake at about
2:15 p.m. The body was recovered about 3:40 p.m. through dragging
operations. Yesterday’s was the second
drowning tragedy at Wolf Lake in less then two weeks. On Aug. 12 Francis Hill, 17 years old of Rapid
City, drowned near the Wolf Lake
Amusement Park while swimming.
Alfred, who would have been 13 years old next Tuesday, was fishing from the bow of a boat
rowed by William Stoops, 13 years old, of
1123 Bolen road. About 75 feet off shore Alfred suddenly fell forward
into the water. “I was dropping the anchor when he fell” the
Stoops boy said. “I grabbed for him, but
missed, I stuck out an oar which he grabbed but he could not hold on. I
think he had a cramp.” Neither boy could
swim. JOHN CARPENTER, 13, of 576 Amity
avenue, Muskegon, who was alone in a
boat nearby, rowed to shore and phoned the Egleston Fire Department. Tony and Rosemarie Paulik, of
Wolf Lake, took the Carpenter boat, and,
fully dressed, dove several times in an effort to rescue the Pearson boy.
Tony is 15, his sister, 13. John Flickema, Egleston fire chief, also dove
several; times. Dragging operations were carried on by Egelston and
Norton firemen, sheriff’s department men,
Muskegon and North Muskegon police and volunteers. The Coast Guard
loaned drags. The body was located at
about the spot where the accident occurred. Water is about 10 feet deep, but the bottom is weedy and muck.
THE DROWNED boy’s father was called from
hos work at the Muskegon Aluminum Foundry and took part in the search. He
had returned to work only 2 days ago
after a long illness. The distraught mother was cared for at the nearby home of Mr. And Mrs. Kenneth
Erickson. The tragedy attracted
many people including youngsters at the
county 4-H exposition a half mile away.
The Pearsons had moved from
Muskegon to Wolf Lake only a month ago. Alfred junior was the oldest of four children. Alfred was born in Muskegon, Aug. 26, 1939,
and had been a resident of Western
Michigan all his life. He had completed 7th grade at the Dangl
School and was a member of the Church of
Latter Day Saints. A former Boy Scout, he had rejoined that organization just a week ago. Surviving besides his parents are two
brothers, Robert and Edwin, and a
sister, Karen, all at home; his grandparents, Mr. And Mrs. Alvin Pearson and Carl West, all of Muskegon, and a

Chronicle, Muskegon, Michigan 1928-1929
Mr. and Mrs
Richard Pyle Seriously Injured in Auto Crash Holland, May 25 - seven persons
four of them resident of Muskegon and Muskegon Heights were injured in an
accident a half mile north of here yesterday afternoon when two cars collided
head on. The seriosly injured are: Mr. and Mrs. Richard Pyle, 1727 Fifth St.,
Muskegon both suffering from fractured skulls. The less seriously injured are:
Mr. and Mrs. Adam Pyle, Sr., 834 Sanford st., Muskegon Heights. Mrs. and Mrs. Thomas C. Lamb of Texas and
John Herman of California. Recovery of Mr. and Mrs. Richard Pyle was regarded
as doubtful this noon. In addition to a fractured skull, Mrs. Pyle has
fractured ribs, internal chest injuries, and numberous lacerations. Mr. Pyle
who was driving the car suffered in addition to the fractured skull, sever cuts
and bruises. Arrival of the seven
patients at the hospital here taxed the accomodations to capacity and a call
was sent to Muskegon for nurses. Three were sent. The Pyles were returning to
Muskegon from Anderson, Indiana. A short distance north of this city, Richard
Pyle drove past a machine going in the same direction but in turning back on to
his right side of the road a front wheel ran off the pavement. In turning back
onto the pavement, the car began swerving and crashed with an oncoming car,
driven by John Herman which also contained Mr. and Mrs. Lamb. The Herman car turned over in the ditch and
the impact of the two machines, swung the Pyle car about, although it remained
upright on the pavement facing south.
Adam Pyle, Sr. suffered a broken clavicle and broken left leg. Mrs. Pyle
has a broken arm and leg. Mr. Lamb was
cut about the body and his wife's jaw was broken in two places. Mr. Herman has a broken leg. A few minutes after the accident, Sheriff
Cornelius Stekett of Grand Haven came by and he took the injured back to the
local hospital. The accident occurred shortly after 5 o'clock yesterday
afternoon. The driver of the car which Mr. Pyle had passed failed to stop and
so far the identity of the driver or owner has not been revealed. Nurses who were sent from Muskegon through
the local hospitals were Marjorie Harvey, Marie Reed and Miss Rebbins. I am not related to this person but I got the
second part of an article written about her on a copy of one of my families
obits. The article can be found in the
People's Scrapbook #2 located at Hackley Library in Muskegon, MI. The date on
my copy has been cut off but the dates on the other article on this paper are

Muskegon
Chronicle, Muskegon, Michigan, 19 March 1962, Page 1
Speed Blamed
for County’s First 1962 Traffic Fatality.
Muskegon County’s amazing traffic
record of 76 days without a highway death was shattered Saturday night when a
teen-ager died in a Scenic Drive crash.
First road victim of the year was Russell D. Hertel, 17-year-old son of
Mr. and Mrs. Russell Hertel, 1794 W. Lakewood Road. He was killed instantly in a high-speed
accident near Duck Lake Channel that injured three others. Coroner James Apostle said a skull fracture
caused the youth’s death. Other
contributing causes were internal injuries and multiple fractures. The youth died just three days before he
planned to complete a Navy enlistment at Detroit that would have taken him to
the West Coast Tuesday. * *
* DEPUTY
CHARLES Lorenz said Hertel was at the wheel of the car that left the Lake
Michigan highway on a curve 200 feet south of Duck Lake Channel. Police said the vehicle was traveling about
75 mph, when it soared off the right side of the road where an embankment drops
22 feet to the beach. It landed on its
nose, rolled end-for-end several times and then spun, throwing two young
sisters into open, shallow water. The
driver was thrown 125 feet beyond the point where the car, wheels down, ground
to a stop. * *
* A
THIRD passenger, Melvin Kissling, 19, of 4965 Jay Road, was found half-in,
half-out of a shattered rear window when first rescuers reached the
wreckage. He is in “fairly good”
condition at Osteopathic Hospital with a compound right leg fracture. He is in danger of losing the leg. The girls, Dianne Pulsipher, 18, and her
sister, Joanne, 16, daughters of Mr. and Mrs. Oren Pulsipher, 4879 Weber Road,
are regarded in “fairly good” condition at Hackley hospital. Dianne suffered a left knee fracture and
sever cuts; her sister al eft wrist fracture and multiple cuts and
abrasions. Lt. Bernard Brondyk said the
St. Patrick’s Day tragedy occurred just after 8 p.m. * *
* EUGENE
McLAUGHLIN, of 2031 Addison St., who was parked near the scene, and Fred Brown,
of 1026 W. River Road, ran to the crash site and pulled the girls from the
water, and freed Kissling from the wreckage, police said. The car’s motor was still racing at high
speed when first rescuers reached it, Lt. Brondyk said. Personal effects from the vehicle were strewn
over an area 300 feet in diameter. In
fact, police had to wade into the ice water to recover a seat from the car, a
spare tire and a door. The tragedy was
the first in the county since a Dec. 30, 1961 collision in Egelston Township
produced a road death. At this time last
year, the county toll stood at eight fatalities. * *
* RUSSELL
D. HERTEL was born Feb. 23, 1945, in Ishpeming.
His family moved here in 1951 and he attended Whitehall High
School. He was a member of Finnish
Lutheran Church at Eben Junction.
Survivors, other than his parents, are a brother, Dennis, and his grandmother,
Mrs. Tynne Tanttula, both at home.

THANKS
Family, friends, community of Newberry--- I
would like to take the opportunity to thank you for the many act of kindness
bestowed upon Cleo and her family during her illness and during our
bereavement. Mother enjoyed her many visits, messages and letters of
encouragement. She was grateful for delicious, hot-cooked meals and desserts
for her pleasure. The outpouring of love and concern was truly appreciated and
recognized by her family. Mom loved
Newberry. She had no desire to leave. She fondly recalled her move to the U.P.
frontier in 1951. Questioning my father, "We are going where?",
Newberry became her safe haven, her refuge, Newberry was home.
She
asked that I might place this letter in the paper so that she might convey how
dear and important this community was to her. She truly felt this community
held her close; cradling her in tragedies and sharing in her joys. She loved living among you and was grateful
to be considered a "local."
Thank you Sincerely, Amy McNamara and the family of Cleo Hicks

James Hill, 48, Stricken on
Arising Whitehall Police Chief Dies Two Days After Getting Post WHITEHALL—James
Hill, 48, named Whitehall police chief on a permanent basis only two days ago,
died early today at his home after suffering a heart attack. He was found dead when the attending
physician, Dr. A. M. Engstrom, arrived in answer to a call from Hill’s wife.
Chief Hill, father of six, was a veteran of 18 years in police work. He served on the Muskegon City force and was
a Muskegon County deputy sheriff before joining the 3-man Whitehall force six
years ago. He was named to succeed
resigning Whitehall chief, Donald Ver Sluis. Arising this morning, Hill took
three steps and collapsed, his wife said. He had appeared in good health. Thursday night he had visited the home of
Mayor Richard Cogswell, to have the mayor countersign some checks. “He was in
good spirits,” the mayor said today. “I
told him we were delighted to have him as chief.” Sgt. Hill had been appointed
acting chief last week. The council made
the appointment permanent Wednesday
night. Hill’s death leaves the City of Whitehall without regular police officers on duty. Joseph Tickle, third member of the force, is
attending a basic training course at Michigan State University, East Lansing.
The mayor and City Manager Robert Langkawel said offers of police protection
from the State Police, Montague and Muskegon police, and the sheriff’s
department had been received, but that the city is adequately protected by
relief officers trained to act in emergencies. Mr. Hill had been a resident of
Whitehall 12 years, since moving here with his family from Muskegon. At that time he established a gasoline
station which the family still operates. He first served as a police officer
here on a part-time basis under the former city manager, Howard Gwinnup. He subsequently became patrolman and then
sergeant. Born Dec. 28, 1913, Sgt. Hill was a high school graduate. He was a past president of the Fraternal
Order of Police. He was a trustee of the
Muskegon County Constable Association, and a member of the West Michigan law
Enforcement Association. Mr. Hill was
born in England. He was naturalized in
Muskegon County Feb. 21, 1940. Surviving
are the widow, Daisy, the former Hower; four sons, James of Whitehall, John of
Muskegon, Donald at Ft. Lee, Va., and William at home; two daughters, Mrs.
Barbara Smith of Peru, Ind., and Connie at home; two brothers, Charles Eberbach
of Muskegon, and John Eberbach of Roosevelt Park, and two sisters, Mrs. Martha
Borgerding of Muskegon Heights, and Mrs. Elizabeth Baran of Toledo, Ohio.

Lula Belle Loss, 7-month old daughter of Mr. &
Mrs. Howard Loss was killed instantly Saturday night when the car in which she was riding was rammed from behind by a
car driven by Arthur Hilliker of Grand Rapids. The baby was thrown from
her mother's arms as the car overturned
and was crushed beneath the vehicle. The mother was hospitalized as a result of
the accident. According to the Newaygo county sheriff's
department who investigated the accident which occurred about two miles south of White Cloud near the Church of
God, Hilliker was assumed to be traveling at a high rate of speed when he smashed into the car driven by Frank Palen.
Palen's 1935 Ford Coupe was overturned as a result of the impact, and the
Loss family, his passengers, thrown from
the car. Mrs. Loss suffered from fracture and dislocation of the left wrist and
lacerations on the right ankle. Mr. Loss
was admitted to the hospital for treatment but released when his injuries were
found to be slight. Hilliker was held at
the county jail following the accident where a charge of negligent homicide was
lodged against him. Funeral service for
the Loss baby were conducted Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock from the Crandell
and Ensing Chapel with Rev. Roman
Hornjoski of Muskegon, officiating. Burial was made in the Dalton township
cemetery. The child, who was born June 30 in Gerber hospital, is survived
by her parents, her grandmother, Mrs. Loral Hillard, Ravenna, a great grandmother, Mrs. Agnes DeTrey, Union City,
Penna; a great grandfather, Arthur Hillard, Ravenna; and several uncles

Article and
Obituary
Muskegon
Chronicle, Muskegon, Michigan, 3 January 1997,
Page 1B
Activist who
shared Indian heritage dies. By SUSAN E.
HARRISON, Chronicle staff writer. She spoke for
her ancestors and the children still to come.
She spoke for those who had no public voice. She spoke for all those like her, a woman
whose upbringing spanned two nations—the one inhabited by the majority of
Americans, and the one in which the Anishinabeks walk. In the language of the American Indian,
Anishinabek means “the first people,” “the true people,” or simply, “the
people.” With her Ojibwa and Ottawa
ancestry, Rosie Holmberg of North Muskegon spoke for the Anishinabeks—not as a
birth mandate or job, but as a mission in life.
Her influence was felt in classrooms, boardrooms, committees and
community and political organizations throughout West Michigan. But Holmberg’s voice was silenced this week
at the age of 44. She died Thursday
after suffering a stroke. Holmberg, who
had been coordinator of Indian Health Programs for the Muskegon County Health
Department, was a representative for the Michigan Indian Employment Services. She served on dozens of committees and boards
of directors, including the Muskegon County Museum, Lakeshore Lung Society,
Muskegon Area AIDS Resource Services, the Muskegon Charter Commission and
Community Leadership Academy. As a
community activist, she followed in the footsteps of her celebrated
grandmother, Rose Shalifoe, of Whitehall.
“I say a prayer every day that I will be a strong woman like her,”
Holmberg said in a 1992 interview with The Chronicle about her grandmother’s
influence on her life. “I say thank you,
God, for letting me live another day.”
In 1995, Shalifoe and Holmberg were featured in a five-generation
photograph as part of an art exhibit at the VanAndel Museum Center in Grand
Rapids called “Anishinabek: The People of This Place.” As visible as she was in the community, the
heart of her involvement was in the North Muskegon schools and activities with
her husband, David, and children, Dustin and Hannah. The Holmbergs were active youth soccer
coaches. In recent years, her children

Obituary
Muskegon Chronicle, Muskegon, Michigan, 15 October 1969, Page 19
Couple Planning Wedding Date Dies in Tragic Crash on M-20 - A
young couple planning to marry at the end of the month was fatally injured
early today in a rear-end collision in which the youth lying on the pavement
was struck by a third car that skidded into the wreckage of the first
crash. Paul V. Hough, 19, of 4560 E.
Summit, died three hours later at Hackley Hospital with a skull fracture. His financee, Linda Ann Siedenstrang, 16, of
2934 Riley-Thompson, was pronounced dead at the scene of the accident at M 20
and Riley-Thompson Road. The double
fatality raised the county’s 1969 highway toll to 26. The last traffic death in the county occurred
Aug. 20. Sheriff’s deputies said the
initial crash occurred about 1 a.m. when a northbound car driven by Erwin L.
Moon, 27, of Twin Lake, ran into the back of the Hough car that was making a
left turn onto Riley-Thompson. Deputy
Jack Crowell said impact flipped the Hough car on its roof, throwing the driver
out, and pushing the car across the intersection where it came to rest upside
down in a ditch. Investigators said the
girl was partially out of the car and pinned beneath the overturned
vehicle. Deputies were en route to the
fatality when a southbound car driven by Leslie J. Lee, 51, of 1656 Glade,
encountered the darkened Moon car in the road and went into a skid as he
braked. Deputy Crowell said the Lee Car
went sideways, striking the Moon vehicle and Mr. Hough who was lying alongside
the car. Impact hurled the youth 50 feet
and he landed off the road. Mr. Lee said
he saw nothing in the road until just before the crash when he saw the car
whose lights had gone out after the rear-end crash. Lee was not injured. Mr. Moon, who was treated at Hackley for
chest bruises, said he hadn’t seen any turn signal from the Hough car. Sheriff’s deputies were only three miles from
the scene when an M 20 resident notified the department of a possible accident
at the intersection. A tow truck had to
lift the Hough car before Miss Siedenstrang’s body could be removed. Investigators said the couple was returning
to Miss Siedenstrang’s nearby home when the accident occurred. A family spokesman said Mr. Hough had dropped
his fiancee off at his sister’s home when he went to work at Westran and then
picked her up after work. Tuesday night
they had talked over with their parents possible dates for their impending
marriage. Three persons were
hospitalized after a two-car crash at 3 p.m. Tuesday at Terrace Street and
Muskegon Avenue. Mrs. Elaine Moyer, 31,
of 503 Terry, was reported in fair condition today at Mercy Hospital with a
concussion and bruises. Her 22-month-old
daughter, Kimberly, was treated for abrasions and released. Mrs. Margaret Moyer, 67, of 646 West, Mrs.
Moyer’s mother-in-law, was listed in fair condition with a concussion, broken
ribs, and multiple abrasions. She was
thrown out of the car. Roosevelt
Richardson, 67, of 454 W. Grand, the other driver, was reported in fair
condition with broken ribs and possible internal injuries. Muskegon police said Mrs. Elaine Moyer was
northbound on Terrace when she was hit broadside by the Richardson car. Mr. Richardson declined to give police a
statement. Police said three witnesses
reported Mr. Richardson ran the stop light.
He was ticketed.

Muskegon Chronicle,
Muskegon, MI, Tuesday, July 1, 1947
E. G. Hunsberger Makes Last Run Edwin G. Hunsberger, 66, a railroad man for
47 years, opened the throttle and eased Grand Trunk train No. 56 out of the
Peck street yards for the last time at
12:05 Monday afternoon. Top man on the
seniority list of the Detroit Division of the railroad, the veteran engineer
announced he would retire at the
completion of the run to Detroit. His
decision to retire was reluctant. He had
been granted two extensions delaying his departure since passing the retirement
age of 65 on April 23, 1946. During his 47 years of service, Hunsberger
fashioned an enviable record with the railroad.
He never was involved in a major accident, and his performance behind the throttle was characterized
as “near perfect”. As a youth of 19,
Hunsberger started in as a fireman on freight engines on Nov. 22, 1900, and
was promoted to engineer Dec. 4, 1905. Continuing his way up the ladder to success,
he completed training as an engineer on freights, and was advanced to handling
passenger trains, working on the run
between Port Huron and Battle Creek for many years. He was assigned to the Detroit-Muskegon
division in 1929. A familiar figure at
the Peck street station, Engineer
Hunsberger has been guiding the Detroit and Muskegon express for 12 years. He is known to hundreds of kids along the
route who waived a daily greeting as the
giant engine pounded down the tracks, Hunsberger always returned their
salutes. With his career as a railroad man
behind him, the veteran engineer plans
taking a well earned rest at his home, 61 Wellesley street, Pleasant
Ridge, near Detroit. After that, he
hopes to satisfy his desire to travel, an urge which 47 years of railroading
wouldn’t satisfy.

DEATH
SUDDENLY TAKES MALCOLM HUTCHINSON Well
Known Inventor and Manufacturer Victim
of Peritonitis After an illness of
about two or three months with
peritonitis, which was not deemed fatal until shortly before death
occurred, Malcolm Hutchinson, 35 Ransom
street, Muskegon manufacturer and inventor and thirty- second degree Mason,
died suddenly Sunday morning at about 3 o’clock. He was 57
years old, having been born at Ayr, province of Ontario, Canada, July
20, 1853. Mr. Hutchinson went to Detroit when about 24 or
26 years old and entered the lumber
manufacturing business there. He
was married February 7, 1884 to Catherine

her to Detroit where they lived for ten
years. In 1895 Mr. and Mrs. Hutchinson
came to Muskegon for residence, Mr.
Hutchinson being president of the Crescent Manufacturing company, whose factory was on the lake front in
Lakeview. The company manufactured nail
kegs principally. Following the destruction by fire of the
plant, Mr. Hutchinson confined himself
to inventing, obtaining seven patents in all on various folding package, box
and pall devices made of fiber board, he
would then organize companies and sell the
patents. Fraternally, Mr.
Hutchinson was very active, belonging to a number of orders and societies. He was past eminent commander of the local
lodge of Knights Templar and headed the
local Templars last year at the triennial conclave of the order held at Chicago.

HYATT,
Mrs. F. A.
Article
Michigan
Pioneer and Historical Collections, Volume 35, 1907, page 650
Mrs. F. A.
Hyatt of St. Johns, Mich., writes of the early times in the following
manner: My mother came to Michigan with her parents about 1846, and for
several years taught some of the young ideas of Kent county how to grow. Grand Rapids was where she spent the
few dollars of her scanty income, and often in speaking of it called it a "shanty village". The stores were few and mostly built with
wide boards with the ends reaching from water table to cornice.
The widow Tawnley who furnished the millinery, lived in a little cottage
which did duty as a salesroom and
residence, it being built on piles over the river on Canal street. It had a bridge from the door to the
street. The stock consisted of three bolts of ribbon from
which to make a selection. One spring
she brought from the east a parasol and
placed it on exhibition with fear and trembling it being the only one in the
city. Mother being young and endowed with a goodly amount of pride,
became the proud possessor of this rare piece of merchandise. I
believe the river was afterwards straightened, and the old bed filled
in, giving a firmer foundation for the wodow's
little cottage. From this small
beginning a business grew which resulted in two or three brick blocks. Somewhere
about 1853, my parents lived at Muskegon, father being head sawyer in
Martin Ryerson's mill, which, together with
the boarding-house, the company's store and a few rough cottages made up
the city. Often mother entertained
me by telling of watching the masts of
the sailboats as they came in quest of their cargo or lumber, and also of how she was lulled to sleep by the howls of the
wolves as they stood at the edge of the clearing, with their ugly forms outlined against the moonlit landscape. Indians were numerous in those days, and many
of them often took on too heavy a load
of fire-water. The squaws had an
original method of promoting sobriety, which was accomplished by two squaws taking hold of a tipsy Indian and
dragging him to the lake and sousing him in, and after two or three dips he was laid on the shore to dry, and in
a short time he was able to get about with a clear brain and steady legs. The usual mode of travel between Muskegon
and Grand Haven was by rowboat, or on horseback, following the edge of the lake and winding in and out around the
sand dunes, at times the horse being obliged to wade some distance in the water.
Land that father would not pay one dollar an acre for, saying "that
white sand would never amount to
anything," is now the heart of the city of Muskegon.
