The Pentwater News
November 25, 1886

           JOHN ATWOOD DEAD
           
           At his home in Fremont Center on Saturday last,
        at 12:30 p.m., in the 59th year of his age, JOHN
        ATWOOD, an honest and upright citizen of Fremont,
        and a former respected resident of Pentwater passed
        to that bourne from whence no traveler returns.
           The deceased came to Pentwater in the spring of
        1865, and was soon after followed by his brother
        JAMES. Early in 1866 the two brothers started a dray
        line in Pentwater under the firm name of ATWOOD Bros.,
        which they successfully operated together, controlling
        that business in the place, until 1874, when they
        disolved partnership, JOHN with his family removing to
        Fremont, and JAMES a few years after, going to Columbia
        City, Ind., where he now resides. At Fremont MR. ATWOOD
        has been very successful, especially in securing and
        maintaining a good name, which is a more valuable leg-
        acy to his family than wealth. He was strictly honest,
        and at his funeral, which occurred on Monday of the
        present week, it was said that he died without an enemy.
           His wife and daughter HATTIE (who is now married and
        the mother of two bright little children) survive him.
        JAMES, his only brother, attended the funeral.
