Obit: Richard TOBIN, spouse of Margaret GRACE, Bay City, MI, d. 1944
The Bay City Times
Bay City, Michigan
February 10, 1944
Richard J. Tobin Dies at Age of 81
Retired Railroad Worker Was Ex-supervisor
Richard TOBIN, 81, former Bay county supervisor and retired Michigan Central Railroad brakeman, died at his home, 1604 Woodside avenue, at 10 o'clock Thursday morning. He had suffered from heart trouble for the past three and one-half months.
Mr. TOBIN was born in Canada Sept. 20, 1862, and had made his home in Bay City for 80 years. He married the former Margaret GRACE at St. James church, of which he was a member, Sept. 27, 1892.
He was a member of the Bay City council No. 414, Knights of Columbus; Hive No. 1052, of the Maccabees; the Telegraphers' Union; the New York Central Pioneers association; and was first ward supervisor from 1922 to 1930.
The body is at the Trahan Funeral chapel where funeral services will be held although arrangements are incomplete.
Surviving is his widow, Margaret, one daughter, Mrs. James BOWE, of Detroit; three sons, James and John, both of Bay City, and Joseph, of Mt. Vernon, O; one brother, Michael of Bay City; 13 grandchildren and one great grandchild.
If anyone wants a copy of the original newspaper obit, email me and I will send you a scanned copy.
I also have the 1931 Bay City Michigan Directory, listing this family with some of their children. If anyone needs it, email me.
Note: I'm trying to determine if this Richard TOBIN (spouse of Margaret GRACE) is the cousin of my Richard TOBIN (spouse of Margaret MCCOSHEN). Both Richard TOBIN men were in Bay City, MI and mine was also in Cheboygan, MI and Ontario.
