PASSED AWAY WAS ONE OF COUNTY'S BEST KNOWN PIONEER CITIZENS.
Perry Ostrander age 83 years, passed away at his home in the city Wednesday afternoon. For some time he had been in feeble health and gradually became weaker until finally rest came to relieve him of his earthly duties and marked the ending of an active and useful life.
Uncle Perry, as he was best known by his friends, was one of God's own men, and we love to think over the many pleasant chats we have had with him in our office. He was devoted to his home and family, a true loyal citizen and has been an ardent promoter of good citizenship and of the welfare of his community. We are deeply grieved to know that his hand is stilled and no more will be be able to contribute to the columns of the AVALANCHE more of his interesting and instructive articles. He knew Crawford county When it was young and was well versed in its history and knowledge of the men and women who played strong parts in its early development. To know the venerable old man was a pleasure and a delight
and we are sure his memory will be revered by those who knew him for many years to come.
Oliver Haaard Perry Ostrander was born in Clarendon, Orleans County, York, April 1, 1841. When but a youth he came to Michigan and resided in the southern part of the state for about 28 years, the time divided between Wayne, Ingham and Shiawasee counties. On January 16, 1862 in Williamson, Ingham county he was married to Miss Sarah Elizabeth Piper, and to that union was born eight children, all of whom survive except a daughter Clara Augusta, who passed away in infancy. In 1881 Mr. Ostrander with his good wife and children came to Crawford County and took up a homestead six miles southeast of Grayling near the village of Pere Cheney. Each year he improved his farm, and labored from morn until night tilling the soil, until about ten years ago when his health began to fail him and he was forced to give up his labors. Then his sons, Elmer, Frank and Arthur besides taking care of their own farms also carried on the work of their father. They resided on the old homestead until the summer of June 1921, when the structure was burned to the ground by forest fires, while Mr.and Mrs. Ostrander stood by and looked on. After losing their home they came to Grayling and have since resided with their son Arthur. Mr. Ostrander was a charter member of the Crawford County Grange, being master for a number of years. He also for a time was a state deputy of the organization and spent a short term of writing Grange fire insurance. Besides his aged wife who recently suffered a paralytic stroke, five sons and two daughters survive, Elmer Ostrander, who resides at his farm in Pere Cheney adjoining the old homestead Lewis W. of Hillman, now serving as prosecuting attorney of Montmorency county Charles, Frank, Arthur, Mrs. Frank Whipple and Mrs. Charles Waldron of this city. The funeral of Mr. Ostrander will be held Saturday with a brief prayer at the home followed by a service at the Michelson Memorial church at 2:00 o'clock. Interment will be in Elmwood cemetery.
