Clifford R. Gearhart

Tuesday, October 13, 2009 11:45 AM - GateHouse Media, Inc. 

Clifford R. Gearhart, 96, Wolverine, passed away Thursday, Oct. 8, 2009. Cliff was born May 6, 1913 in West Decatur (Blue Ball), Pennsylvania to Burtis Belford Gearhart and Hazel Shontz Gearhart. He had three sisters: Anna (Gearhart) Hinmon, Margaret who died in childhood, and Bernie (Gearhart) Sexton who survives him. Cliff spent his early years on the family farm fishing, hunting, trapping, ice skating and enjoying Sunday school picnics. He worked in his father’s grocery store in Blue Ball during the 1920’s and one of his first jobs was sorting and bagging potatoes. In 1923, Cliff sold his very first Christmas tree to his Aunt Pearl for 35 cents. Later, he and his father traveled to northern lower Michigan to buy and cut wild evergreens to sell at roadside stands. He married Lucille Esther Beach Oct. 1, 1936 in Pontiac.  They had two daughters and two sons.  After the death of wife Lucille, Cliff married Delores Hudson in 1997. Cliff was an avid fly fisherman and kept returning to northern Michigan. In 1939 Cliff and Lucille bought property south of Wolverine across from the West Branch of the Sturgeon River. Cliff hand-planted his first evergreen trees in 1943 on his property. Through the years this enterprise grew and Cliff and his family established "North Star Trees".  In 1959 he was elected president of the Michigan Christmas Tree Growers Association.  Cliff was named "Michigan 1991 Tree Farmer of the Year". The tree business was seasonal, so from the mid 1940s to the early 1960s, Cliff took advantage of the off season to develop a commercial fishery, "Gearhart Fish and Evergreen" in Brimley, in Michigan’s upper peninsula.  This was a creative way to utilize his interests in both trees and fish. Cliff authored two autobiographical books, "The Love of Trees" and "The Fish Peddler". In his later years he enjoyed wood carving, especially fish and birds. He often delighted his family members and friends with his original birthday poems. Cliff was drafted and served his country in World War II in the Army’s 10th Mountain Division. Cliff was preceded in death by his wife Lucille in 1995. He is survived by his children, Martha (Gearhart) and Gordon Evoy, Jean (Gearhart) and Dan Coale, Dan and Becky (Howard) Gearhart and Dave and Carol (Reeves) Gearhart, all of whom reside in the Wolverine area; 15  grandchildren and nine great grandchildren. Officiating at the funeral service Sunday was Rev. Les Sellers and Rev. David Gearhart, with burial in the Silver Lake Cemetery in Wolverine. Visitation was held at Lintz Funeral Home in Indian River. In lieu of flowers, friends are asked to direct their memorial contributions to the Berean Bible Church of Topinabee. Online condolences may be made at www.stonefuneralhomeinc.com.

Pastor Jim Walters

"Welcome home, thou good and faithful servant." We can just imagine the joy that Jim experienced as he walked into his Savior's arms and heard those words on Friday morning, Oct. 9, 2009; going from his loved ones at home immediately to his Lord. This is what he had looked forward to and taught all of his life. His only regret was leaving Kathleen, his wife, behind. They shared 40 years of love and work together and their's was truly a love story. Everything that Jim, as a pastor, had conveyed to couples before marriage and during marriage counseling he lived himself. Jim and Kathleen completed each other and had truly "become one".
