FOUGHT LIFE'S BATTLE TO THE END
Michael Freeman DEAD After Short Illness
Michael Freeman, a prominent business man, well known in Boston through his connection with the firms of Jordan & Marshall and Jordan, Marshall & Company, for nearly forty years, died at his home, 423 Beacon St at 4:30 this morning, after an illness of about two months, of stomach trouble.
The funeral arrangements have not yet been completed. It is probable, however, that the burial will be on Tuesday, services being held either at the Church of the Immaculate Conception on Harrison Ave. or at St. Cecilia's in the Back Bay. The interment will be at Calvary.
Mr. Freeman was born in Boston about 76 years ago and after his graduation from the Brimmer School entered the employment of Jordan & Marsh when he was 19. He was advanced to various positions of responsibility until finally he had a hand in the direction of the legal, financial and confidential affairs of the firm. He retired from this position about 20 years ago, five years after the death of his wife, and since then up to the time of his fatal illness, cared for his real estate interests, which were considerable.
Mr. Freeman is survived by four children, Mrs. George W. Campbell, Miss Katharine Freeman, a prominent social worker connected with the Associated Charities; Francis Freeman, connected with the Merchants National Bank, and Harold P. Freeman, connected with the Leather house of Frank E. Fleet Company.
Although he was not a lawyer, Mr. Freeman was particularly well known to the Legal fraternity, having taken part, either as a representative or as principal in the trial of many important cases. He was a most determined fighter and this instinct remained with him to his last breath. He never lost hope of recovering from his recent illness and was conscious to the end. He had never known a day's illness up to two months ago.
Although a close friend of the late Mayor Hugh O'Brien, Mr. Freeman never took a prominent part in politics, being devoted to his home and family. The death of his wife about 25 years ago so affected him that five years later he gave up his business pursuits.
Up to the time he severed his connection with Jordan, Marshall & Co. he had been a tireless worker. He was the sole support of his mother and a brother and a sister when his father went to California with the 49ers. He made many friends, and retained them through life, and those now living will cherish his memory.
