Obituary of Mr. Claude Milton Plant:
Claude M. Plant, 70, passed away Christmas Day at a Lansing hospital. He had lived at 625 Academy st. for 43 years and had been a Portland resident since a young man.
Surviving are the wife, Eda; a daughter, Mrs. Virginia Alexander of Portland; and a sister, Mrs. Pearl Campbell of Lansing.
Funeral services were held Monday morning at St. Patrick's Church, the Rev. Fr. Louis Flohe officiating, and burial was in Portland cemetery. The Rosary was recited at Neller Funeral Home Sunday evening.
Mr. Plant was president of the Grand River Conservation club, a charter member of Portland Country Club, and formerly had operated a grocery and meat business here for 35 years. He was widely known for his connection with baseball, having successfully managed local independent teams for a number of years, and he also was a standout player in his younger days.
Mr. Plant came here in his ‘teens from Lake Odessa, and worked in the Ramsey-Alton factory and played first base with the old Portland Independents. He went into meat market business in a building on east side of Kent st. that stood where J & J store is now located. After building was damaged by fire he moved across street to where Jean's Recreation is located and continued there until retiring from the market.
At one time he had contract for disposal of Lansing's garbage, with late O.S. Rice, and after termination of that activity, farmed the land so used, along Grand river in Danby township. He also operated his farm east of Frost corners.
Pall bearers were Dan Watson, Fred J. Mauren, Leo Lehman, Severin Jean, William Young and Jay Clark.

Additional information: The disposal was known locally as the "Portland Piggery" and it was located on Okemos Rd.
His daughter Virginia was preceded in death by Mr. Alexander and her second marriage was to Garland Schwab.
