Friday January 28, 1921 The Cedar Rapids Evening Gazette
Edward Paul Michel, son of Desire and Eugenia Michel, was born in Dubuque, Iowa, March 22, 1857, and died at his home near Marion Jan. 24, 1921. He was 63 years, 10 months and 2 days old.
Mr. Michel came to Marion, Ia., with his parents at the age of twelve years and has lived in that vicinity continuously from that time and by a consistent, upright manly life has gained a host of friends and kindly neighbors.
On Oct. 22, 1879, he was united in marriage with Ida B. Certain and to them was born one son, Charles B.F. Michel, who has remained with them on the farm where they first commenced keeping house. About ten years ago Mr. Michel build this present home where he lived.
He made a profession and joined the church about thirty-five years ago and while he may not have been as active in church attendance and church work as some might desire he was interested in the church and evidently thought more of christian deeds than profession.
He is survived by his wife, his son, two grandchildren, three brothers and two sisters, all of Marion except one of the sisters living in Beloit, Kan.
In the old home, now occupied by his son on Wednesday afternoon at 1:30 p.m. funeral services were conducted by the Rev. J.T. Davis, pastor of the Seventh Day Baptist church of Farina, Ill.--Contributed
