Muskegon

Man, 26,
killed in crash. By JENNY VOGT Chronicle
staff writer. A
26-year-old Fruitland Township man was killed early this morning when he lost
control of the pickup truck he was driving and hit a tree near the intersection
of Michillinda and Jay roads, according to the Muskegon County Sheriff’s
Department. Muskegon County’s first auto
fatality of 1987 was Bruce V. Chaffee of 2935 Scenic Drive who apparently fell
asleep at the wheel of the vehicle, Sheriff reports indicated. There were no witnesses to the accident,
which was reported at 1:18 a.m. THE
ACCIDENT report said Chaffee’s truck was westbound on Michillinda when the
truck may have gone off the road onto the right shoulder. Chaffee then apparently lost control of the
vehicle, which spun sideways and rolled onto its side with the cab hitting a
large tree. Sheriff Department officials said a routine investigation will
continue, but no autopsy is planned and alcohol was not a factor. The Muskegon County Medical Examiner’s office
reported Chaffee died of multiple head injuries. Chaffee had been employed as a craftsman at R
& J Woodworking in North Muskegon.
He had served with the U.S. Navy for eight years before that. A 1978 graduate of Whitehall High School,
Chaffee is described by those who knew him as an exceptional young man. While in high school he had participated in
varsity football, wrestling and baseball, according to school officials. “YOU JUST wouldn’t believe what a super kid
he was,” said Barbara Beckeman, whose son, Dan, had attended school with
Chaffee. “He always had a smile, he was
always happy, he was just uplifting.”
Funeral services are scheduled for Saturday at 10:30 a.m. at Evangelical
Covenant Church in Whitehall. Visitation
will be at Clock Funeral Home in Whitehall Friday from 2:30-4:30 p.m. and 6:30
to 8:30 p.m. Survivors include his
father, Robert Sr. and stepmother Rosella; three sisters, Brenda of Whitehall,
Cindy of Texas, and Judy Haines of Holton; five brothers, Robert Jr. of North
Muskegon, Peter of Muskegon Heights, Jeff of Whitehall, Jonathan and Timothy at
home; and a step-grandmother, Gladys Franklin of Muskegon.

Fatal
crashes claim two lives. A
Twin Lake man and a Laketon Township man died in separate fatal crashes last
week. Early Monday morning, August 23,
Bruce Richard Cherney, 44, of 2576 Fenner Road was pronounced dead at the scene
of a crash at Kern and Peterson roads.
That single car crash happened at about 12:34 a.m. in Laketon
Township. According to information from
the Muskegon County Sheriff’s office, Cherney was a passenger in the vehicle
headed east on Kern Road as the driver lost control and failed to make a stop
for the stop sign at Peterson Road. IT
slid across Peterson and struck a utility pole at the front seat passenger’s
door. Cherney was not wearing a seat
belt. Alcohol is believed to be a factor
in the crash and last week deputies sought more information on the driver. He was seen by witnesses who heard the crash
and went outdoors to investigate. He
fled the area. On Wednesday evening,
August 25, a Twin Lake man, William Joseph Musser, 38, of 659 W. Englewood died
as a result of injuries he suffered during a single vehicle crash on the curve
near Montague Tree Farms in Montague Township at 7:40 p.m. Musser was taken to Mercy-General Health
Partners Sherman Campus where he was pronounced dead. His passenger, James Robert Joslin, 41, of
Dogwood Court in Muskegon, was listed in critical condition in Hackley
Hospital’s intensive care unit on Friday morning, Aug. 27. According to a Muskegon County Sheriff
report, Musser was westbound and had braked for a sharp curve, when he lost
control and slid on the pavement. His
vehicle left the roadway and struck a tree.
Dave Francis of Montague Tree Farms was nearby mowing his yard at the
time of that crash.<

Traffic
Blocked, Crowd Attracted by Stubborn Burro
Traffic was blocked on Western avenue for a short time Saturday by just
a long haired, homely burro, recently purchased by the management of the Radium studio. The burro was being taken to Lake Michigan
park, where it is to be used in taking pictures this summer of the visitors,
but just when it reached the car tracks
it decided that it did not desire to continue the journey. A crowd collected, all telling how to get the
burro off the tracks. An interurban conductor and motorman did
considerable cursing and finally a city
car was also in line. The employees of
the street car company decided to disregard advice, and take matters in their
own hands. Four or five men
stationed themselves on the south side
of the animal out of range of the heels and then shoved. The burro just naturally couldn’t help but
slide off the track. Later the trip to
the park was resumed by the borro, under
pressure. Louis Cihak brought the burro
from the country eight miles Memorial Day and it took most of the boys in the
city to convince the burro that it was
necessary to leave the pasture for city life. The animal it seems has taken a dislike to
children.

Muskegon Enterprise, November 25,
1870 FATAL ACCIDENT A man named Patrick Clary, employed at
Wilcox, Thomas & Co.'s mill, at Bluffton was shot by the accidental
discharge of his gun at Black Lake, yesterday, which resulted in his death in a
few hours. It seems that the unfortunate man was resting with his chin on
the muzzle of the gun, when he accidentally slipped, one foot striking the
trigger, causing a premature discharge, the ball entering the chin and passing
out at the top of the head. Drs. Cook & Williams rendered all the aid
possible, but of no avail. Mr. Clary was an industrious young man, and
much respected by his employers and associates.

Mr. and Mrs. Albin Colberg or R.R. 3
are happy today. Their year-old Kentucky
Red-bone hound, “Rusty” is home, thanks to Charles J. Hozer, nearby neighbor.
The dog, which had evidently broken
away, had been missing since about 5 p.m. Monday. Tuesday morning Mrs. Colberg notified the
sheriff and also placed an advertisement in The Muskegon Chronicle. About an hour after the Chronicle went on
sale, Mr. Colberg received a call from Mr. Hozer, saying he had found a dog of
that description and would like to have him identify it. So, “Rusty” and his owners are a happy

Three die in
county in weekend traffic Muskegon County's traffic toll climbed to 18
this year when three persons died over
the weekend. The count compares
to eight deaths a year ago. Edna J.
Peterson, 58, of 2605 W. River, died when the car she was riding in was involved in a three-car
collision at Whitehall and River at about 8:30 p.m. Sunday. The driver, her husband Raymond, 60, was in critical
condition today with multiple injuries in Hackley Hospital's intensive care
unit. Muskegon County Sheriff's deputies
said the accident happened when a northbound pickup truck on Whitehall
skidded sideways on slippery pavement
and entered the southbound lane and collided with two approaching cars,
including the Peterson vehicle. Carl W. Parrish Jr., 29, of 3275 Worden, told
police that he tried unsuccessfully to steer the truck into a nearby woods.
The driver of the third car in the collision, Russell A. Pulaski, 27, of
866 Fleming, told investigators that he saw
the truck slide out of control but that he was unable to avoid hitting
it. A passenger, Jason Pulaski, 4, of
the same address, was in critical
condition in Hackley's intensive care unit with a head injury. Five other persons in the accident were
treated and released. Dalton Township firemen were called to free
up trapped victims with a Hurst tool.
Norton Shores police said a
Wyoming, Mich., woman died just before midnight Sunday when her car
rolled several times on Seaway after it failed to make a curve at the Norton intersection. A county medical examiner pronounced Lydia A.
Martinez, 27, dead at the scene of the
accident. A passenger, Diamantina
G. Fernandez, 29, of 2855 Taft in Spring Lake, was not injured. The county's third weekend fatality occurred early Saturday when
a 19-year-old Grand Rapids man died after he fell from his motorcycle into the path of a van. Michael Wayne Conant was pronounced dead on
arrival at Grant Hospital, according to state police from Newaygo.
Police said Conant was northbound on M-37 near White Road in Muskegon
County when he ran into the rear of another motorcycle and was thrown into the
path of the van.

WEDDED SECRETLY Marriage of Toledo Dentist and Miss Ella
Leonhart Announced Wedded secretly last
summer, Miss Ella Leonhart, of Muskegon, has just made known of her marriage to
Dr. B.F. Conkle, of Toledo, Ohio, dentist.
The intimation received by any of her friends that she had long since
become a bride, was an invitation to form a party to speed Dr. Conkle at the
station on his leaving after a holiday visit here. When the train pulled out it carried the
married pair instead of a single departing guest. Mrs. Conkle is the daughter of Mr. and. Mrs.
George Leonhart, 50 Sanford street. She
and Dr. Conkle have been friends for six years.
It was when on a visit to her grandmother at Toledo last summer, that
the marriage was quietly performed.
Later it was made known to some of the relatives, but none of the
friends had any inkling of it until this time.

the service of the Episcopal Book of Common Prayer. The bride wore a wedding dress of white
satin. In her hands, she carried a
bouquet of white roses. Her sister was
dressed in a gown of yellow silk and carried yellow roses. Following the congratulatory hour a wedding
breakfast was served with Mrs. Nequist catering. Mrs. E. H. Harwood of Whitehall, an aunt of
the bride, acted as mistress of ceremonies.

bride and bridegroom. They included from
other places Mr. and Mrs. William Dixon and Mr. and Mrs. Charles Dixon of
Muskegon, the parents and brother and sister-in-law of the bridegroom; his
cousin, Mrs. Fred Anderson and her son of Cadillac, and his aunt and uncle, Mr.

FOUR
GENERATIONS MEET Covell Family Reunion
Attended by 36 Members of Family Whitehall,
Mich, Jan. 3- Four generations of the Covell family were represented among the
36 guests that gathered at the family
reunion of the Covell family at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Charles E. Covell on
New Year’s day. Of the first generation
was Mrs. Lyman T. Covell, the oldest member present. Mrs.
Malvina Ocobock, only daughter of Mrs. Emiline Hinchman represented the
second generation, her only child, Joseph A. Ocobock, the third, and the
latter’s daughter, Helen, the fourth. A
bountiful dinner was served at a part of
the festivities and a social time was enjoyed by the company. One of the family heirlooms that was
examined was an ancient conch shell that is known to have been in the family for over one hundred years and
is said to have been found on the shores of India by an ancestor years ago and
to have been used by the mother of the local branch of the Covell family as a dinner horn. Tradition asserts that the ancestral Mrs.
Covell could make the horn heard for a distance of two miles.

Heights
Officer Answers Shotgun Blast with Revolver
A sudden burst of flames followed by the reports of a shotgun and then
a revolver brought a crown of excited
neighbors and also the Muskegon Heights firemen and police out at 1 a.m. today
to see the home of Sir Wylie Crawford,
1152 McIllwraith street, go up in
flames. Chief Harry L. Ridout was
endeavoring to discover the cause of the
blaze which consumed the small, one story house. Lacking a telephone, Sir Wylie, on
discovering his house afire, sounded the
alarm with a salvo of shotgun blasts which rocked the community, and
startled Officer Ernest Hodges, better known as “Mahogany Kid” to his door. He let loose several revolver shots in
response before he discovered the disturbance was only a fire, and then
raced almost two blocks through the snowdrifts
to the nearest alarm box, summoning the firemen. At the same instant, Sergeant Steve Peply’s telephone jingled at police
headquarters, and he heard a woman’s voice demanding “the law and the firemen
to come right away quick.” A police cruiser raced to the scene, along
with the firemen who were impeded by the slow driving condition on the highway.
The house was beyond saving, but the firemen kept the fire from spreading.

Beverly J.
Cryderman, Whitehall. Beverly Jean
Cryderman of Whitehall, went to be with Jesus on December 26, 2006. Celebrating her passage to heaven are
husband, Lynn Cryderman, and children, Sherry Collins (fiancee Wade
Hetherington) and Irving Cryderman (wife Joan).
Beverly was blessed to have three grandchildren, Lonn Collins, Irving
Cryderman Jr. (wife LeAnn) and Kristen Cryderman (fiancee Chad Sliter). In this past year the joy of her life was
born to Kristen, her great-granddaughter, Kaelynn. The former Beverly Hansen is survived by her
brother, Irving Hansen Jr. (wife Barbara) and her sister, Sandy Wakefield
(husband Doug). She was blessed with
many (12) nieces and nephews; Kathy (Dick) Morrison and Donna Hansen and their
families; Mike Hartman and daughter, Tony (Lisa) Hartman, Larry Hartman, Lea
Ann (Randy) Bean and children and brother-in-law, Lee (Phyllis) Hartman; Steve
(Janice) Wakefield and Cindy (David) Ripplinger and their families. Preceding her in heaven is her Great Aunt
Gertrude (Tee) Swanson, mother Gladys Hansen, father Irving Hansen Sr., sister
Audrey Hartman and nephew, Greg Hansen.
In addition, she is survived by several close friends, Kay Schuitema,
Eva Ehrig and Dorothy Smith. Beverly
spent her life in the service of our Lord Jesus Christ. She was a member of Orchard View
Congregational Church, formerly Jackson Ave. Congregational Church. There, for many years, she served as a Sunday
School teacher, sang in the choir, served on many women’s committees and was a
faithful friend to those in need. She
worked tirelessly for many years with Child Evangelism. But, her greatest ministry was with her
friends, Dorothy Smith, Avis Randall, Edna Myers, Joyce Johnson and Betty
Medema in the Sonshine Trio. These
ladies’ ministry included special appearances at local churches, nursing homes
and other ladies events. There are many
jewels in Beverly’s crown for the faith she had, the work she did for the Lord
and the legacy she left behind in the lives of so many that took Jesus as their
Savior because Beverly showed them the way.
She will be missed but her family celebrates her life. They are proud to call her wife, mother,
grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, aunt and friend. There was a memorial service held for Beverly
on Saturday, January 6, 2007, at 1:00 PM at the Clock Funeral Home in
Whitehall. Visitation was held from noon
until service time at the funeral home.
It is a chance for the family to thank her friends and celebrate her new
life in heaven. The family asks that in
lieu of plants and flowers, donations be made in Beverly’s name to Hackley VNS
