JEANNOT,  William E.
Obituary        
Tuesday, October 4, 1938 W. E. JEANNOT, LONG ILL, DIES  WAS PROMINENT BUSINESS LEADER, MANUFACTURER AND CIVIC FORCE MANY YEARS   William E. Jeannot, 72 years old, former president ofthe West Michigan Steel Foundry company and of the Eagle Foundry and Machine company, a prominent manufacturer, businessman, banker and member of fraternal and civic organizations, died today at his home, 1601 Jefferson street, Muskegon after a long illness.   Mr. Jeannot had been suffering from ill health since 1930 and during the years his condition had become progressively more serious.  He became critically ill last Friday.   Few residents of Muskegon probably have enjoyed as varied and successful a career as Mr. Jeannot, which included lumbering, business administration, mining and manufacturing.  His ability to concentrate and master details quickly were considered outstanding qualities which enabled him to forge to the front in his various endeavors.   Mr. Jeannot, who enjoyed a brilliant scholastic record and was a medalist at the University of Notre Dame, continued throughout life the active, constructive pace he set there.  He made good at his first job, in the employ of his father's lumber company, and it was the same thereafter, in railroading, lumber, mining and last of all in manufacturing.   Despite his busy years, he found time for civic affairs, and was among Greater Muskegon's most zealous friends.   During the World war, Mr. Jeannot originated an idea of an agency for centralizing Muskegon county's war funds, and as a result the Muskegon county War Chest association came into being.  He served as its first chairman.  Surplus funds it held after the war were the foundation of the beautiful Causeway Memorial park.  The idea of the War Chest was carried over into its successor , the Community Chest, which unifies the support of local charitable social service, and other communitiy enterprises and organizations.
