A copy of last
Friday's Review, of Evart, Mich., has been sent to us. It contains the
following reference to the passing of Dr. Frank S. Sovereen, son of
Samuel Sovereen, a former well known resident of Windham Township. The
Review says: --
"Another old citizen passed away early Sunday morning, October 4.
Although not unexpected, the death of Dr. Frank S. Sovereen cast a
shadow of regret over this community where he had been a familiar figure
during more than a third of a century, a beloved physician, and well
respected resident. The cause of death was heart trouble.
"Dr. F. S. Sovereen was
born in Simcoe, Ontario, Canada, Sept. 12, 1853, and died in Evart,
Michigan, October 4, 1914, aged 61 years, 22 days.
Dr. Sovereen lived in Canada
about 24 years and since 1881 has been a resident of Evart, Michigan.
The doctor was graduated from the Homeopathic medical college of New
York in 1881; since which time he has practiced medicine.
He was the ninth of eleven
children, eight girls and three boys and is survived by one of the
family, a brother, Charles Sovereen of Simcoe. In 1881 he was married to
Emma O'Heron of Canada, in Buffalo, N.Y. After a happy married life of
thirteen years he lost by death his wife who passed away April 10,
1894.
In 1896 he married Harriet
Spinney of Reed City. To them were born three children, Lucile, who died
ten years since when but seven years of age, Ernestine and Eveline.
