JOHN THOMAS HETHERINGTON (1820 - 27 FEB 1895)
GONE TO REST.
AN OLD VETERAN HAS PASSED FROM EARTH
GROUT, MICH., Feb. 22.---(Special.)---It is with
regret that we must chronicle the death of an aged and
esteemed friend Mr. John Hetherington, who died last
Wednesday at the advanced age of 75 years. Deceased
came to his death very suddenly and when least
expected, and the kind gentlemen goes to his reward
after so many years of toil. He was a veteran of the
Civil War, having served under Gen. Buell in 1862, and
was at several hotly contested fights, in which he
always played a conspicuous part. It was his delight
to tell war stories and many a night did he amuse his listeners by such tales. His enemies were none, while his acquaintances were his friends and the old comrade will be greatly missed in our neighborhood. The burial occurred from Grout schoolhouse and was witnessed by a large concourse of people. His remains are interred in Grout cemetery. In addition to his numerous friends, he leaves four sons and two daughters to mourn his loss. .
{Note: Actual Recorded Date of Death is: 2/27/1895. Name: John Thomas Hetherington}
