EFNER MATSON PASSES AWAY
Efner F. Matson, well known resident of Grayling since 1899, and who for years had been one of its estimable business mall, passed away at his home Saturday evening at 7:80 o'clock after suffering for a long time from a throat ailment. It was in 1831 that he retired from . business, disposing of his interest in the firm of McCullough & Matson, because of ill health, and from that time he had steadily failed health.
Mr. Matson was born in Lapeer, Michigan, June 19 1875 and there he grew to manhood. In 1898 he was united in marriage to Jeanette Anderson at Flint and the next year Mr. and Mrs. Matson came to Grayling and this had been their home since. From the time he began his business career he had been in business for himself and in 1922 became a member of the firm of McCullough & Matson. Mr. Matson served as township treasurer, and had been a member of Grayling Lodge F. & A. M. since 1901. He was very active in lodge work holding severalof the offices, and was a postmaster of Grayling Lodge.
Local business places were closed Tuesday afternoon during the funeral, as a token of respect. Services were held at Michelson Memorial church, where Rev. H, J. Salmon delivered a most Impressive sermon. The choir composed of Mrs. Herbert Gothro, Mrs. June Underwood, Mrs. Roy Milnes, Mrs. Harold Jarmin, with accompaniment by Mrs. T. P. Peterson, beautifully rendered the hymns during the service. The deceased was laid to rest with Masonic honors, the following members acting as pallbearers: George Olson, Jesse Schoonover, M. A. Bates, Clayton Straehly, Frank Ahman, George Schaible. The large profusion of flowers with which the casket was surrounded spoke the sympathy of hosts of friends.
Surviving the deceased are his widow, three daughters and two sons, Mrs. W. Clarence Smith, Roscommon, Miss Janet, Detroit, Miss Elizabeth, student at Battle Creek College, Stanley of Flint, and Famham at home. All were at home together with Mr. Smith of Roscommon, Mrs. Stanley Matson of Flint and Mrs. Matson's sister, Mrs. Elizabeth Heenan and son Kenyon of Royal Oak, and in attendance at the funeral.
