RETIRES AFTER 57 YEARS; NOW 'WHAT TO DO' PUZZLES
Edward J. Joyce Goes into Second Day of a Permanent Vacation from Factory

    Every morning for 57 years -- barring layoffs -- Edward J. Joyce of 120 Cherry St., SE has gone to work for the William A. Berkey Furniture company. Fifty seven years, winter and summer, cold weather and hot, he's been at work for the one firm and since 1886 on the same job, a sanding machine.
    That's long enough for any man, so on Friday, Mr. Joyce went to work for the last time, and today he is well into the second day of retirement and wondering what to do with his time.
    Mrs. Joyce has a few ideas, such as running a vacuum cleaner and drying dishes, but whether that will fill the time of a man who has always been a hard worker remains to be seen.
        Plant on Hotel Site
    The William A. Berkey company was located on the site of the Pantlind Hotel when Mr. Joyce went there to work as a furniture salesman. The firm sold furniture then as well as made it. Mr. Joyce was born here 78 years ago, son of Mr. and Mrs. Austin Joyce who built the first house in the Ellsworth division at what was then 37 Goodrich St., SE.
        A short time after Mr. Joyce started work, Berkey's was moved to 71 Camal St. NW, a bit further north, and then in 1885 came the move to the present location, 55 Market Ave., NW.
        In 1888, Mr Joyce married Miss Cora Monroe in St. Andrew's cathedral. Mrs. Joyce is a native of Bennington, MI., but had come in 1886 to live in Grand Rapids. They celebrated their golden wedding on April 25, 1938, by renewing their vows in the cathedral, in which Mr. Joyce had been "brought up."
    Five of their nine children are still living, and, although money has never been plentiful in the Joyce home, all had high school educations, two finished college and one had two or three years college training.
    The five daughters, all of whom live in or near Grand Rapids, are Mrs. Aileen Joyce Hills, who live with her parents at 120 Cheery St. SE,; Mrs. Leonard F. Howe, 111 Carleton Ave., SE; Mrs. Joseph A. Potchen, 1145 Edison Road NW; Mrs. Edward T. Hannon, 828 Prospect Ave., SE, and Mrs J. Condon Zant, 211 Leonard St. NW. There are also 18 grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.
        Mr. Joyce is a member of the Knights of Columbus, the Modern Woodmen and of Holy Name Society.

SUING FOR DAMAGES
William E. Lemon Seeks to Recover $2,500 From the City.
The case of William E. Lemon against the city was placed on trial before a jury in the superior court yesterday and will be continued today. Mr. Lemon claims that he was in a wagon driven by Anthony Gelock on South Ottawa street, near East Fulton street and that on account of a defect in the construction of the street he was hurried to the ground with such force as to seriously injure himself. His doctor’s bill amounted to $50, and he was for a long time ill. It is stated in the plaintiff’s papers that a large stone was left negligently and carelessly in the center of the street, and that on account of it the wagon was overturned and he was thrown out. The accident occurred May 14. The stone complained of is as big as a half-bushel measure, and was placed on exhibition before the jury. Mr. Lemon places his damages at $2,500, and his case is looked after by Attorneys Lombard and McAlister, and City Attorney Salasbury and E. A. Maher are defending the city.
