Battees of Round Lake.
Round
Lake, Dec. 2—Mrs. J. C. Battees died, on this eve. of Nov. 29, at the home of
her daughter., Mrs. William Stuck, of paralysis; caused by a rupture of a blood
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
Columbus, 0. in 1871.
Six
children were born to them: John the eldest, of Mishawaka, Ind.; Flora, wife of
William Stuck of Round Lake; Lulu, wife of Frank Kelley of Beaverton, Ore.;
Myrtle, wife of Charles Austin, of near Gladwin; and infant son, died, near
Paulding Center, 0., in 1886. Walter Battees of Hillsboro, Ore., Mrs. Battees
sister Mrs. Charles Gordon, of Edson, South Dakota, Mrs. Frank Kelley and
Walter Battees could not be present at the funeral, which will be conducted at Round
Lake G. B. church, Tuesday at 10 o'clock a. m., Reverends Willard of the
Evangelical association and Hahn officiating; interment in Gladwin cemetery.
The
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
might benefit her health, which it did. She became very active walking great
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
passing swiftly, and when we look back fourteen years, miraculous changes have
taken place. No idlers have struck this camp. It behooves us to work while yet
it is day.

HERE 45 YEARS AND HEWED OUT FINE FARM FROM WILDERNESS SAW PIONEER LIFE.
John Bellinger, died Thursday Nov. 1, 1917,
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. We’re 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.

services were conducted from the Ridge church Sunday afternoon by Rev. Wade.

--- At the Gladwin Exchange, May 29, 1886, William J. Carter, aged 56 years.
Buried Tuesday afternoon; funeral services next Sunday morning at 11 a.m., at
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

EDWARD

COUNTY PIONEER DIES AT REDFORD
Edward Dassay Succumbs To Illness of Three Weeks
Edward Dassay, one of Gladwin’s pioneer’s, 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.
and Mrs. Bernard Hiller, Redford; Mr. and Mrs. Charley Hunt, sons, George and L.
V., and Mr. and Mrs. Clinton Ostrander, Mr. and Mrs. Edgar Ostrander, West
Branch; and Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd Edick, Clare.

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

Gladwin County Record dated 7-26/1944 Column – 4 Page – 1.
Mrs.
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
memorial services were in charge of Rev. Thomas Stoeri of the Round Lake
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
Butman and Hockaday F. M. churches. Burial was in the Ridge cemetery. Pallbearers

No
rarer gem on earth was born, So sweet of face, so frail of form, The many days
she faced the storms, We know not how her heart was torn, But we know her smile
was heaven born. And mother now we know you've gone, To a happier place and a
lasting home, Tho' we grieve for our
loss in the coming years, You now are safe from this vale of tears. So farewell
Mother dear, your work here is done, Accept your reward, in Heaven your home.
