The obit reads - On Tuesday of last week, Mark Whiting, son of Nathan Whiting a former resident of Evart, was severely injured at one of the skid ways on the Muskegon River & Rose Lake Railroad. He was brought to town on Wednesday and taken to Bay City the next day for treatment, where he died on Friday night from his injuries. His remains were returned to this place last Monday and buried in Forest Hill cemetery from Lesia House last Tuesday.I think he would have been buried on April 27. (Kent) Clarence D.
