- Peter AEBLI: Old Time Grayling Printer, Passed Away.
Had Long Been A Well-Known Resident of Crawford County.
Monday came the news of the passing away of an old and well known resident of Crawford county, Peter AEBLI. Death occured at the State hospital in Traverse City Monday forenoon at 11:00 o'clock. Mr. AEBLI with failing health, his mind and memory weakened and at his request entered the State hospital for treatment in August a year ago. Before that time he had suffered attacks of paralysis while making his home with his daughter, Mrs. Henry BORCHERS.
Peter AEBLI was born in Galrious, Switzerland, November 7, 1849, and died at Traverse City, October 25, 1920 having almost reached his 71st birthday. Mr. AEBLI remained in his home country, Switzerland, during his boyhood, and when he came to America settled in Cincinnati. Afterwards he went to Jackson, Mich., where he made his home for about a year, and then came to Crawford county in 1881. He was united in marriage to Miss Amelia HOESLI and to them eight children were born. Mrs. AEBLI passed away about 22 years ago.
On coming to this country he took up a farm in Sigsbee township and farmed until the year 1895, when with his family he moved into the county seat, Grayling. Here he took up his old trade as printer, being employed on the Avalanche by Dr. O. PALMER, who was then the publisher. He followed this work until the spring of 1913, when his health began to fail him and he then made his home with a daughter. For a number of years he served on the board of Superintendents of the Poor. He was a thoroughly respected citizen and a friend of all who knew him.
The remains of the old gentleman were brought to Grayling Tuesday and taken to the home of his son-in-law, John J. NIEDERER, and the funeral services were held this afternoon at the Michelson Memorial church at 2 o'clock Rev. C. E. DOTY officiating. Interment was at Elmwood cemetery.
The following children survive the deceased: Mrs. Henry BORCHERS and Mrs. Jeanette HARRIS of this city; Fred AEBLI of Bay City and John AEBLI of Windsor, Ontario. John AEBLI and Mr. and Mrs. Fred AEBLI came to Grayling the fore part of the week to be in attendance at the funeral.
