"SUDDEN DEATH
Harry Eddy, of This City, Died in a Barber's Chair
at Battle Creek, Wednesday Evening.
While seated in a barber's chair in a shop at Battle Creek, Wednesday evening, Harry Eddy, of this city, suddenly died, it is supposed of heart disease.
Mr. Eddy, who for several years was foreman of the linemen in the employ of W. A. Foote, residing with his wife and three little boys on Centre street, just north of West Ganson street. His business took him to various places where his employer has interests, and he was engaged in work in progress in Battle Creek when death removed him from the scenes of life.
Deceased was 32 [sic-34] years of age and had lived in Jackson a number of years, during which time he drew about him a large number of friends who are greatly depressed over his sudden death. Mr. Eddy was a member of the order of the Knights of Pythias, and carried $2,000 life insurance. In his death his family have the deepest sympathy of all their acquaintances. The body was brought to the city today. The sad news of her husband's death was broken to the grief-stricken widow by W. A. Foote, who came to the city on the evening train."

"Brevities ...
The funeral of the late Harry Eddy, who died in a barber's chair at Battle Creek, Wednesday evening, was held from his late residence, on Centre street, at 3 p.m., Sunday, attended by a large concourse of friends. Rev. J. F. Orwick conducted the services at the house, and Mrs. Larabee and Mrs. Faulkner sang. The remains were escorted to their last resting place in Woodlawn [sic-Woodland] cemetery by Rowena division, uniformed rank, and by Rowena lodge, K. P. The bearers were friends associated with the deceased in the electrical business. There were several electricians from out of the city in attendance at the obsequies."
There is no "Woodlawn" cemetery in Jackson; "Woodlawn" should have read "Woodland". Because the cemetery record book does not begin until 1914; because there was a fire that burned cemetery records in 1920; because Mr. Eddy's death certificate stated that he was buried in Jackson County and his obituary stated that he was buried at Woodland Cemetery, the cemetery sexton agreed that he could be listed as buried there.
