Obituary:
John Bartle Was Fatally Injured in Bay City
Former Sanilac County Resident Died in General Hospital Thursday Night
John Bartle, 79, who spent the greater part of his life in Sanilac County, was fatally injured when he was struck by an automobile while attempting to cross Center Ave. at Sherman St. in Bay City Thursday evening, Dec. 22, [1949]. He died a few minutes after he was admitted to General Hospital in that city.
Coroner Raphael D. Stapish ruled death was due to shock and loss of blood from a compound fracture of the right leg.
The driver, Patrick J. Trahan, 25, 1805 Sixth Street, told police the elderly man had hesitated at the center line as if in doubt, then darted quickly across in front of his car. Police reported that Mr. Bartle was struck shortly after seven o'clock. Visibility was reportedly poor.
John E. Bartle was born April 22, 1870, in Iowa, the son of the late George and Helen Sanderson Bartle. He came to Sanilac County near Melvin when a small boy and later taught school in that community. He later moved to Chicago where he was married to Mrs. Tillie Haines in 1893. Following their marriage, they made their home in Chicago. In 1903 they moved back to Sanilac County where they made their home. Mrs. Bartle passed away in 1910.
In 1914 he was married to Miss Alice Douglas of Decker. She passed away in 1928.
Mr. Bartle had been a member of the Evergreen Free Methodist Church for the past forty years. For the past five years he has made his home with his daughter, Mrs. Arleen Chisholm, of Bay City.
To mourn their loss are three daughters, Mrs. Chisholm of Bay City, Mrs. Alva Hillman and Mrs. Arnold Copeland of Cass City; three sons, Kenneth Bartle and Bruce Bartle, both of Bridgeport, and Leonard Bartle, of Mr. Clemens; twelve grandchildren and one great grandchild. Two brothers and three sisters preceded him in death.
Funeral services were conducted by Rev. Carl W. Koerner, pastor of the Wilmot
Free Methodist Church, at Little's Funeral Home Monday afternoon. Burial was made in the family lot in Elkland Cemetery.
