Springwater - The death of Marchus J. Ingraham occurred at Wayland hospital on Wednesday Aug. 12, at the age of 87 years and 4 days.

Mr. Ingraham was a son of the late Hiram and Amanda Jackman Ingraham and was born in Springwater Aug. 8, 1855. When a small boy, he moved with is parents to Canadice, where he lived until he returned here and after a few years purchased the Dr. Gray place. He remodeled the house and had resided there since, a period of over 50 years.

Mr. Ingraham was engaged in farming, and as a sideline did mason and carpentry work. At one time he had a large apiary, furnishing honey for this community.

He was one of the three rural mail carriers who began service here when the routes were established in 1903, and acted in that capacity until his route was divided between the other two carriers some 15 years later.

Since that time, Mr. and Mrs. Floyd Caskey have occupied the home and cared for him until he became mentally ill and was taken to the hospital for care last March. After he was not able to do any work, he kept up his physical strength by taking daily walks and calling on his friends.
