Pioneer Business Man Died Sunday
Joel F. Hendrick Laid To Rest Wednesday Afternoon
Prominent In Business, Church and Social Circles. Mourned By Host Of Friends.
The Reaper Death has again entered Life's field where the best grain is standing and with his sickle keen has gathered another sheaf, this time Joel. F. Hendrick.
His death occured early Sunday evening after a brief illness of about ten days. While his health had not been of the best for several months, he had been able to attend to his business duties until Wednesday, Dec. 8, when he was confined to his home a victim of paralysis of the left side. After that day, Mr. Hendrick gradually grew worse and death finally relieved him from his suffering. Joel F. Hendrick was born in Saybrook, Ohio, on Jan. 7, 1851. In 1866 he moved with his parents to Michigan, settling in the township of Ellington, Tuscola county. In 1871 he came to Cass City and began his career as a jeweler and watch repairer in the store window of J.C. Laing with $10 worth of tools. A year later he returned to the farm and on Jan. 1, 1872, he was united in marriage to Miss Margaret Ann Higgins. One child - a daughter named Cora - was born to this union. She died when about six years of age.
Mr. and Mrs. Hendrick moved to Cass City in November, 1876, and this time Mr. Hendrick found space in Weydemeyer Bros.' drug store to carry on his trade. In the fall of '80 he built a small store and remained therein until '83 when he moved to the east side of the Crosby Block. Mr. Crosby needing the space, in 1892 he built a neat brick block on Main street north where his business has since been conducted.
As a business man Mr. Hendrick was careful, conservative and painstaking. Altogether reliable, his word was as good as his bond and his reputation was of the highest standing.
Cass City has not only lost one of her pioneer business men, but a citizen of fine moral character, whose home life was beautiful and who always proved a good neighbor. And what a man is is shown by his home life and what his neighbors think of him.
Mr. Hendrick united with the Presbyterian church at Cass City on May 31, 1891, and was among its most faithful members, ever holding the welfare of the society at heart. For 18 years he filled the position of elder of the local church.
He was also a member of the local Odd Fellow, Rebekah and Maccabee fraternitites. In the first society he was especially active occupying the chairs and holding the office of Past Grand. He was initiated in Odd Fellowship on March 9, 1873. He received the first degree April 2, the second degree May 7, the third and fourth June 4, and the fifth Feb. 21, 1876. Mr. Hendrick was a charter member of Venus Rebehah lodge.
The funeral service was held at the Presbyterian church Wednesday afternoon, Rev. E.H. Bradfield, a former pastor, officiating. The members of Cass City Lodge I.O.O.F., attended the funeral in a body and conducted a ritualistic service.
Deceased is mourned by a wife, one brother, Orson H. Hendrick of Ellington and three sisters, Mrs. Hattie Higgins of Rochester, Mrs. Fidella Runkel of Ashtabula, Ohio and Mrs. Lida Bennett of Rapid River, and a host of friends..¹ He was buried at Elkland Twp Cemetery, at Cass City, Tuscola County, MI, USA.
