Jerome Nathaniel Secord
SECORD---On Monday, June 14, 1886, at his residence
in Gladwin township, Jerome Nathaniel Secord, aged 46
years and 10 months. Mr. Secord has for over a year
past suffered from that fatal disease, hereditary
consumption, from the effects of which he has been
confined to his house about six months. He has been a
patient sufferer, and died resigned to his fate. He
was visited by Rev. S. C. Tiney in February last, and
expressed a desire to experience a change of heart,
and at a visit in March following testified that he
had found peace with his God, saying he felt prepared
to die. He was baptized March 9, 1886, Mr. Tiney
officiating.
The deceased had been a resident of Gladwin county
during the past 15 years, having came here from
Shiawassee county, where he was born and grew to
manhood. He was also married in that county to Miss
Bridget Rurk, who survives him with seven children,
two of whom are married. Deceased was an honest,
upright and industrious citizen.
Funeral services had been arranged to be held
Wednesday, but owing to rapid decay the body was
buried Tuesday in the Gladwin cemetery, and the
funeral service adjourned until Sunday next at 10:30
a.m., when they will be conducted by Rev. S. C. Tiney
at the Presbyterian church in Gladwin. {Michigan
