Clifford Garwood
1876-1920
The body of Clifford Garwood,who died in Butterworth hospital in Grand Rapids on Tuesday at 9:00 a.m. was brought to Niles Wednesday afternoon and removed to the home of his sister Mrs. Frank Bayles, 513 Cherry street.
The funeral service will be held at the Methodist church tomorrow afternoon at 2:30 o'clock. Rev. J.R.T. Lathrop will officiate. Burial will occur in Silver Brook cemetery.
Mr. Garwood was a former well known Niles resident. He had spent practically all his life in Niles until four years ago, when he went to Grand Rapids to be employed in the Bither paper mills, having, until the mills closed here, been employed by the Niles Board and Paper Co. for many years. He was stricken with influenza and pneumonia last winter and had never recovered from the effects and had gradually failed until the end came. The death of his only daughter, a child of 4 years, which occurred last winter, seemed to hasten his demise. He was 44 years of age. He is survived by a widow, who was formerly Rosa Apple of Niles; by two sons, William, who is in military service and stationed at Fort Sheridan,Ill., and John of Ypsilanti, and by his father, Stacy Garwood, who resides on a farm south of Niles, and by his sister, Mrs. Bayles.
