In Memory of
Joseph Sewell

BIRTH: 03 May 1815 , England

DEATH: 03 Nov 1899 Grayling, Crawford, Michigan

-DIED-At the residence of his daughter, Mrs. F. O. PECK, Friday, Nov. 3, Joseph SEWELL, aged 85 years. Mr. SEWELL was one of the pioneers of this county, having resided at Cheney until after the death of his wife, since which time he has vibrated between the homes of the children, ten of whom are living. Though old and quite feeble from a dropsical affection that has troubled him for some time, the end came suddenly and unexpected. He had not been confined to his bed for some time, and ate his supper with the family as usual. About eight o'clock he went out doors alone, but was immediately followed by Mr. PECK, as it was very dark, who found him insensible and immediately summoned help, but he had gone to his long sleep without any suffering. The funeral, at the Presbyterian church was largely attended, and his body laid by the side of his wife in the cemetery at Cheney. "At Rest." (9 Nov 1899)
