      Well Known Photographer Died Here Saturday

      Edward G. Maier, 64, well known as a photographer in Cass City, passed away Saturday night in his home on East Third St., where he had been ill, for about six weeks. Funeral services were held at the Douglas Funeral Home on Tuesday afternoon, conducted by Rev. John Safran, pastor of the Methodist Church, and interment was made in Elkland cemetery. He is survived by a sister, Miss Laura Maier, and a brother, Fred Maier, both of Cass City.

      Mr. Maier was born in Cass City June 19, 1883. Following his education in the public school here, he was employed for several years as a marble cutter by Hill & Parent, monument dealers, and then went to the Photo School of Engraving at Essingham, Ill. After his graduation from that school, he entered business with his father, Jacob Maier, in the photo studio, and after the death of the elder Maier, he conducted the photographic business here for many years. Because of failing health, he disposed of the business in June, 1946, to Fritz Neitzel.
