Death of Mrs. W. H. Smith Died- At her late residence, Ferris Street, on Monday, May 30, at 11:00 a.m., Mrs. William H. Smith, in the 43d year of her age. Mrs. Smith was born in Yarmouth, Ontario, and had been a resident of Sault Ste. Marie since 1871, during which time she had made a wide circle of friends and acquaintances. The most of these friendships were formed by the bed of sickness and were warm and lasting. Mrs. S. was a practical nurse, and understood the whims and caprices of the sick perfectly. She had charge of the Marine Hospital here for some years, and many a poor mariner tossing upon a bed of sickness, a stranger in a strange land, had cause to be thankful for many acts of kindness and attention received at her hands. Her work in that direction was not confined to the hospital, however. Wherever there was sickness and she thought she could be of service, there she was to be found. Night after night she has sat at the bedside of the suffering, comforting them in her sympathising way. These kindly traits of character won for her the love and esteem of the community, and she will always be remembered lovingly by those to whom she ministered.
Mrs. Smith leaves a husband and five children, one of them an infant a week old, to mourn the loss of an affectionate wife and kind mother. The funeral took place yesterday at 2:30 p.m. from the M. E. Church and was very largely attended.

Louis Mickelson was shot and instantly killed on the 25th by Amos Rhodes at a logging camp four miles south of Manistee. During the past four months Mickelson had employed Rhodes and wife as housekeepers on his farm, a few miles south of that city, and during the spring Mickelson has been engaged, in addition to his farming duties, in logging about one mile from his farm. During that afternoon Rhodes came to Jark's store in the Village of Oak Hill, and bought some small buckshot, and after he had put the same in his pocket remarked that he was going to shoot Mickelson. Returning to the farm Rhodes learned that Mickelson had gone to his logging camp to load logs. Rhodes took a gun, loaded it, and said he would hunt up and kill Mickelson. The son of Mickelson hearing the remark, ran to his father and apprised him of his danger but his father treated it as a scare. Soon after Rhodes appeared where Mickelson was at work with a half dozen men and getting within twenty feet of Mickelson called out to him, "if you have anything to say, say it, as I am going to shoot you" Mickelson said, "Go away and don't molest me in my work" whereupon Rhodes aimed the gun and fired, over 100 shots striking Mickelson in the left breast, some penetrating to the heart, causing instant death. Rhodes returned to his home and went to bed, where he was afterwards arrested and placed in jail. The friends of Rhodes claim that Mickelson had been intimate with Mrs. Rhodes and that Rhodes is crazy. Mickelson was 45 years of age, has always been a hardworking quiet person, had a wife and several children who reside in the city, where the children can enjoy better educational advantages. Rhodes is 26 years old, of German descent and a few years ago came from the eastern part of Ohio. He has a wife and one child.

About six years ago he left the Sault and had been gradually growing worse, the past two years being almost entirely confined to his bed. He had been a great sufferer and his friends, while mourning his death, cannot help feeling thankful that his sufferings are at an end. The remains were brought here by steamer on Sunday morning and the funeral took place the afternoon of the same day.

Henry Burhan, clerk, also died of exhaustion.
Mr. and Mrs. Keogh, Chicago; drowned; bodies not recovered.
Two children of Martin Bange, steward; drowned, bodies not recovered.
Jack Hoxtley, second cook, drowned; body recovered.
Mrs. Mary Fall and daughter, Lulu Williard, residence unknown, missing.
Unknown man and little boy, who took passage at Milwaukee for Mackinac Island both drowned. The body of the father was found, but not that of the boy.
Four whites and four Indians, from Elk Rapids, of the boat's crew and Eddie Wilkins, cabin boy, of Chicago, drowned. The latter's body was found.
The following gives the identity of the "unknown-man and little boy" referred to above:
"Upon the body of one of the dead was found a piece of paper on which were these words." If anything happens to me, write my wife, Mrs. J. J. Rogers, Fort Mackinac. J. J. Rogers, Hospital Steward, U. S. Army." His little boy with him, is missing."
-The Captains's Statement-
Capt. Casey states that the first he knew of the fire the first engineer rushed up on the upper deck with his clothes all ablaze. He shouted to him to jump into the water tank and with the assistance of the first mate threw him in and extinguished the flames. The engine room was all on fire, and after seeing that there was no chance to quench the flames, the Captain headed the boat for Fisherman's Island and gave orders to lower the boats. But the boat, was rushing along at full speed, and before they could be launched the fire drove all hands upon the bow of the boat. Here all were provided with life preservers. The boat grounded about a mile from shore. The flames had been kept back by the speed of the boat and the wind, but now they came rapidly nearer and the people were forced to take to the water. Many were let down with lines, while others jumped overboard.
The captain says it was not more than ten minutes from the time the fire broke out before the boat was wrapped in flames.
The books were lost, and as the clerk died from exhaustion after being picked up, it is possible that a complete list of the lost will never be secured. The engineer and firemen who were saved, are at Smithson's camp, six miles from Charlevoix, and they were so badly burned that he made no effort to learn from them the manner in which the fire originated.

Dickenson of Commonwealth, who mysteriously disappeared while returning home from school on the afternoon of November l, 1881, has at last, it is thought, been cleared up. It is believed that the boy was kidnapped and murdered by certain disreputable parties who infested Florence and Commonwealth some six or seven years ago. The motive for the crime is thought to have been revenge, the supposed kidnappers having become incensed against Captain Dickinson because he had thwarted them in some of their acts of villainy. Recently a letter was found in Milwaukee giving a clue to the whole mystery, and the father is there engaged with the police in investigating the affair.

Sudden Death —A Carpenter Drops Dead at the Superior House-Norman J. Scott is a carpenter who came to the Sault on or about the 9th day of July last, and has been employed for some time past on the round house. Since his arrival he has been stopping at the Superior House. Last Saturday evening, Scott quit his work, saying he was not feeling well and would rest for a few days. Until Tuesday he was feeling miserable, but did not consider himself sick, but on Tuesday he felt much better, and so expressed himself to his friends. Tuesday evening he was sitting around the hotel, reading and chatting with his friends. A little before eight o'clock he sat reading, when the guests who happened to be sitting in the office, noticed him settle back in his chair, his head drop and sway as if nodding. Once or twice this occurred, when someone walking over to where he was seated to see if he felt badly, when it was discovered that the man was dead. Without a struggle or a gasp, he dropped into the silent sleep of death as quietly as a child to repose. A doctor was hastily summoned, but too late to be of any service, save to take care of the body. It was not thought necessary to hold an inquest, as death was undoubtedly caused by heart disease. Mr. Scott was a man much liked by all who knew him, quiet in his manners, industrious and hard working. Such an unexpected death will come hard upon his wife and two children, who were not with him at his death, but at their home in Verona, Huron Co., Mich. The remains were cared for by Mr. Kennedy, who has done everything that could be done. His wife has been informed of the sad occurrence, but up to the time we go to press, no answer had been received from her.

The body was brought here on Monday, and on Tuesday was buried in Pine Hill cemetery. Spencer had only been in the county but a short time, coming here from Fremont, this state.

John Fletcher Drowned
Last Wednesday night, a party of young people chartered the Flora Holden, for a trip down the river, to McMahon's dock, where there was to be a dance. Among the party was John Fletcher, a young man of about thirty years, well known to the people of the Sault, and the son of Landlord Fletcher of the Fletcher house, situated on Ashmun street nearly across from the DEMOCRAT office.
Every one of the party was bound for a good time and fun reigned supreme. Jack Fletcher, as he is more commonly known, was in his usual good spirits, and in coming from the cabin, he ran up the steps, on to the deck, jumped on the railing to seat himself, lost his equilibrium and fell into the water. The people on the deck saw him fall over, and quickly the cry "man overboard" was given, and the steamer stopped. The man's cries for help were distinctly heard but owing to the darkness of the night he could not be seen. Life preservers were thrown overboard but none reached him, so the young man, unable to receive assistance from the friends and unable to swim, sunk into an untimely grave in the raging waters of the St. Mary's. The people on the boat did everything that could be done, and for over an hour a search was made for the missing man but without avail. Such a death always creates the utmost sadness in a community and it is visibly felt in this. A young man with ability and promising prospects, so suddenly taken away from earthly existence, when in the midst of pleasure, is certainly appalling to those who little think when the time for their departure from this world may come. John Fletcher had a large number of personal friends with whom he was always popular and well liked. He was a member in the best of standing in both the Knights of Pythias and the Workingmen's Union.

They also burned everything they had, tepees, furniture, and even most of the clothing they had on.

Burned to Death.
Four People Lose Their Lives On the Canada Side.
THE DEADLY SMUDGE
It is Responsible for Another Horrible Death.
A farm house owned and occupied by George Dobbs and located in Tarentorus township about six miles east of the Canadian Soo, was destroyed by fire yesterday morning at two o'clock, causing the death of George Dobbs, aged seventy- two years: David Merryfield, aged 21 years: Alice Say Thompson, aged nine years and Margaret Melissa Thompson aged four years. It is the common theory that the fire originated in a smudge, which was burning lazily on the front stoop when the family retired to rest. Mrs. Dobbs, an old lady seventy years of age, who escaped almost miraculously from the burning building, thinks that the children must have thrown a few chips upon the smudge before they went to bed. At all events, she was awakened about two o'clock by the dread crackling of the flames, and realizing the impending danger she quickly awoke her husband and Merryfield, who was sleeping in an adjoining room. The smoke was so dense and stifling that they could scarcely breathe, but they managed to grope their way down stairs to a rear room. Mrs. Dobbs attempted to open the back door, but was stopped by her husband who thought that it would cause a draught which would aid the flames in their deadly work. At this moment she stumbled, her foot striking the ring of a trap door which opened into the cellar. By an almost superhuman effort she managed to raise the door, when overcome by the heat and smoke she fell through. Recovering from the effects of her fall she called to her husband and Merryfield to save the children, who were in a room in the upper part of the house. She then succeeded in crawling out through a ventilator in the cellar which afforded the only means of escape. She managed to work her way slowly to a safe distance from the house, when she sank exhausted to the ground, unable to move or cry out. Here she remained until long after daylight, exposed to the chill night and with no clothing on save a night dress, which in her terrible struggle to escape had been nearly torn from her body. After remaining unconscious until the sun had climbed well up above the horizon she recovered sufficiently to cry aloud. A passing farmer was attracted to the spot by her pitiful wails for help, and conveyed her to a neighboring farm house, where she was tenderly cared for by sumpathetic neighbours. Later in the day she was taken to the Canadian Soo and placed in the care of Dr. Reed. She is badly burned and this together with her enfeebled condition, and advanced age make her recovery doubtful. She is laboring under great mental excitement and can scarely talk rationally. She thinks that her husband and Merryfield tried, in obedience to her call, when she was precipitated into the cellar, to save the children. They probably reached the upper floor and were then either suffocated or quickly burned to death by the greedy flames. No cries were heard from the children by Mrs. Dobbs and it is therefore reasonable to assume that they were suffocated before being burned.
The house was a frame building and the flames spread with great rapidity, completely destroying it. Merryfield was employed on the new steamer Soo City as fireman and had obtained leave of absence for a couple of days to visit the old couple. He came from near Mitchell, Ont., and was unmarried. The children were daughters of James Thompson, whose farm is near the Dobbs farm. Their mother died two years ago, since then they have lived with their grandparents. Mr. Thompson has been employed in the Canadian Soo during the summer. He received the first news of the sad catastrophe yesterday morning.
The bodies which were burned to a crisp were recovered from the ruins yesterday afternoon. The funeral occurred this morning and the last sad rites were performed by the Rev. J. McClung, of the Canada Soo. Mr. Dobbs was born in Ireland but lived many years in Tarentorous where he was highly esteemed. He was in comfortable circumstances.

MRS. CHARLES PAINE CREMATED
The boarding camp of Charles Paine, situated a few rods from the Duluth & South Shore depot, was destroyed by fire on the evening of the Fourth of July, and Mrs. Mary Paine, wife of the owner of the place, was burned to death. The camp was a rude looking building, built partly of wood and partly of canvas, and at the time of the fire was occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Paine and three boarders named Samuel Winfield, Samuel Twelves and Richard Campbell, laborers employed on railroad work by Drew, Lewis & Co. After starting a smudge to drive away the mosquitoes, Mr. Paine and his wife retired. The smudge was built in a tin basin covered with a damp sack soaked with kerosene, and then placed beside the bed. The sack soon becoming dry and inflammable, took fire and in a few moments the whole front part of the building was enveloped in flames. Paine was aroused and after making an ineffectual effort to save his wife, who, he claims was either stupified or suffocated by the smoke, staggered to the door, where he was seen and pulled out by James Mackin. A crowd soon gathered and an unsuccessful attempt was made to subdue the flames by throwing buckets of water upon the burning shanty, but the thin boards were dry as tinder and the entire building was quickly consumed. Meanwhile Paine was rushing about almost bereft of his senses, crying wildly and talking incoherently. It is currently reported that both were under the influence of liquor at the time of the fire, but this charge is strenuously denied by Paine and his friends. At an examination conducted by prosecuting attorney Goff at the coroner's inquest, Paine acknowledged that both he and his wife were in the habit of drinking, but he would not admit that they had taken more than a couple of drinks during the afternoon and evening of the Fourth. He testified that he tried to escape through the window, but could not get it open. Then grasping his wife he staggered to the door of their sleeping apartment, where he dropped her. He claims that then he became unconscious.
The coroner's jury consisted of C.L. Newell, Francis Lessard, H. G. Wait, P. Bertram, Wm. Ireland and John A. McDougall, aided by Mr. Goff. It was his first night in the house examined a number of witnesses. There had been some whispers of foul play, but there was nothing in the evidence to support the charge and the examination was sharply and searchingly conducted by Mr. Goff. The jury therefore brought in a verdict that the woman came to her death by suffocation. The charred and blackened remains, wholly unrecognizable, were removed to Gabriel's undertaking rooms Thursday, where they were prepared for burial. The funeral took place yesterday from the St. Mary's Church and the body was interred in the Catholic cemetery. Paine was an Englishman and was married to the late Mrs. Paine about fourteen years ago in England. Paine came to this country about five years ago and established a boarding camp near Bruce Mines. He came to this side and put up a camp on the line of the Duluth & South Shore road, settling finally at the Soo. His wife did the cooking for the camp boarders, and he acted as cook at the West End saloon. An only child thirteen years old is in a convent in England.

Corporal Place, of Company A, 23d infantry, Fort Brady, was drowned Monday afternoon, while out sailing with Private Curran. While opposite Seymour's dock in the main channel and near the Canada side the small boat capsized and both occupants were thrown into the water. Their cries for help were unheard and they drifted with the fierce current. The weight of the two men kept the boat underneath the surface of the water most of the time and seeing that there was little chance of both escaping, Corporal Place volunteered to swim ashore. He started and got about half the distance, when it is supposed he was taken with a cramp in the cold water. "Good bye, I've got to drown," he cried and disappeared from sight.... The body has not yet been recovered. Corporal Place was an Englishman and had no relatives in this country....

He died a Hero
The correspondent of THE NEWS at Detour sends the details of another sad case of drowning, which happened near that place a few days ago. George O'Neil, whose home is near Ottawa, went out in a sailbout on the 12th, with five others. The wind was blowing fresh and the boat scudded through the water at a rapid pace. When off Point au Frene it struck a snag and filled at once. The occupants clung to the boat for a half an hour, until they were benumbed with cold. They talked over their chances of escape and came to the conclusion that unless assistance from the shore was secured quickly they would become so chilled that they would have to relinquish their hold upon the frail boat that stood between them and a watery grave. O'Neil, who was a good swimmer, volunteered to make the attempt and with prayerful wishes of his friends for his success he struck out as vigorously as his chilled condition would permit. The men watched him near the shore with glad hearts, knowing that with darkness coming on, they stood but little chance of being rescued by passing boats. Nearer and nearer he got to the shore until only ten rods separated him from it, when to the unspeakable horror of the men on the boat, he suddenly threw up his hands and sank out of sight. The survivors managed to hold on for an hour when they were espied by a passing boat and rescued. O'Neil was in the employ of Smith & Hossack the well known lumbermen, and was well liked. The body was recovered the next day and an inquest was held by Dr. W. B. House of Detour..... O'Neil was a single man. The remains were sent to his home near Ottawa.....

Henry Elliott, of Sault Ste. Marie, was drowned about 10 o'clock, a.m. Tuesday morning in the Waiski River. Mr. Elliott came up on the morning train with other men to go up the river to raft or drive pulp wood for Donald McLelen. They walked from Bay Mills station to G. Bertrand's place through the woods, where they procured a boat to go down to Mr. McLelen's place. Seven of the party got into the boat, but on starting out found it leaking so badly that they returned to the shore, where five of them got out, and two, young James O'Brien and Henry Elliott got into a small log canoe and started out with it. The canoe was very "cranky" and upset not far from the shore. O'Brien turned the canoe over but finding it would not hold them as it was full of water, he struck out for the shore, and as he passed Elliott he asked him if he could swim. Henry said he could, so James swam to the shore as soon as possible. The water was very cold and as he caught hold of a hanging alder he was taken with cramps and would probably have drowned if he had not reached the shore just as he did. As soon as he reached shore he looked around to see how Henry was getting on, as he supposed he was close behind.... His hat was floating on the water near where the canoe had upset. Henry had evidently sunk very soon after the accident occurred. The men were soon at the place making every effort to recover the body but up to the present time 10 o'clock a.m., Thursday, no news has come down of success from the searching party.

Biography of The Late William Hannah of Pickford
William Hannah late of Pickford, was born Dec. 28, 1840, in Harwick, a manufacturing town in Roxburyshire, in the southern part of Scotland, situated at the confluence of the Poviot and the Slitrig, and about fifty miles from Edinburgh. Here he spent his childhood, in the vicinity of ancient fortresses and other conspicuous memorials of the old border life, surrounded by the inspiring, influences of the many legends and traditional stories of the early history of Scotland. His father's name was William Hannah, and his mother's maiden name was Katie McMorine, both natives of Scotland. The family consisted of three brothers and one sister; one brother and the sister are still living, the mother died in Canada about twelve years ago, and the father who is about eighty years of age, is living with his only daughter, Mrs. Hogg, in Seaforth, Ontario. The brother, Walter Hannah resides in Pickford. The parents emigrated from Scotland to Canada when deceased was about seven years of age, and there he received a liberal education in the public schools of Canada. The family first located at Windsor Mills in the Province of Quebec in 1847, then moved to Clinton, Huron Co., Ont., and from there to McKillop township next to Hullett, where he married Janet Neilans daughter of Thos. Neilans, a well to do farmer of the same place, Oct. 13, 1876. In 1878, Mr. Hannah moved with his wife to Michigan, and located on a farm in the township of Pickford, near to what is now known as the village of Stirlingville. There he remained about five years proving himself an active and preserving pioneer and idenifying himself with every movement for the welfare and advancement of the community in which he resided. In 1883 he came to the village of Pickford, where he started a boarding house, and continued at the business, sometimes working at the carpenter trade, up to the sickness which ended his life.
Mr. Hannah was a genuinely religious man, and an active Presbyterian and held important offices in both the church and Sunday school. In politics he was a staunch republican, firm in his convictions, and a useful supporter of the party. He held the office of township clerk, and has been director of district # 15 for a number of years. He was a member in good stading in both the Odd Fellows and Orange societies, both of which rendered valuable services in his sickness and at his death.
His last illness was inflamation of the outer membrane of the heart. For six weeks he was in a very low condition when he seemed to gain strength, and his friends, as well as himself, entertained hopes of his recovery. The day before his death he sat up, walked about, and talked quite freely with the neighbors who called to see him. On Wednesday morning April 16, he awoke without feeling any worse, but about six o'clock he took a sudden change, and in a few minutes with scarcely a struggle, his soul had left the earthly tenement and entered upon the eternal rest.
The funeral took place on Saturday the 19th inst. The services at the house were conducted by the Orange brethren of Pickford, who afterwards marched in procession preceeding the casket to the Presbyterian church, where further services were held by Rev. Mr. Holt, assisted by Rev. Mr. Hicks. Mr. Holt spoke very feelingly from the 12th verse of the 90th Psalm: "So teach us to number our days that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom." The building was densely packed, and a large procession followed the remains to the cemetery where they were interred with the honors and rites of the Orange society. A bereaved wife and a family of eight children, three sons and five daughters, are left to mourn the loss of a true and loving parent, the church an earnest adherent, and the community one of its most valued citizens; and a large circle of friends to mourn with the bereaved ones.

The death of Max Lenhoff, which was announced in this city on Sunday last, as having occurred in Detroit the day previous, caused many expression of regret at the early demise of a gentleman of more than ordinary business ability, and social tact. Max Lenhoff was of foreign birth, and forty years of age. He engaged in mercantile pursuits in early life, and for some years has carried on the clothing business in a number of localities simultaneously. He opened his doors in the Soo some five years ago, and leaves not only his store here, but also one in Saginaw, Romeo, Oxford and St. Louis, Mich.. The fatal malady which carried him off had pursued him sharply for the last six months, but he bore up under the strain of sickness with a manly fortitude. He was a member in prominent standing of the fraternal orders of Masons, Knights of Pythias, Odd Fellows and Maccabees. Mr. Lenhoff leaves a wife and three children to mourn his early removal. He was laid to rest with the ceremonial of the Jewish faith in one of the Detroit Cemeteries.

Thomas Nester, the Great Lumberman Dies Suddenly
While walking on his lumber dock at Baraga on Saturday last, Thomas Nester was stricken with apoplexy, and died at an early hour on Monday morning. His remains were taken to Detroit for burial.
Thomas Nester was born in the west of Ireland about fifty-five years ago and when a well grown boy came to this country with his family. After some stay in Canada the Nesters finally settled in Sanilac county. From a logger Thomas Nester began to take small contracts for lumbering, increased the size of his operations and became a purchaser of pine lands. He became interested with A. W. Wright, Charles Wells and F. C. Stone in large tracts of lands in Gladwin and Roscommon counties. In 1881 he became interested in the upper peninsula. In company with the gentlemen named above and with Thomas Merrill he had bought the Ward tract in Ontonagon county and a tract on Sturgeon river of R. K. Hawley. When in 1881–82 Mr. Nester sold out of the Well-Stone combination he received $510,000 as his share, most of which he took in the upper peninsula lands owned by the concern. The big mill at Baraga was set going in 1882 and quite a town has grown up about it. Other purchases of pine were from the Lake Superior Ship Canal company about Keweenaw Point and from the Michigan Land and Iron company on Sturgeon river. The business was a flourishing one and the Baraga plant became noted in the annals of pine lumber. To Mr. Nester belongs the credit of building the first vessel of modern dimensions on Lake Superior, and his venture in that direction was a successful one....

Transactions of One Hundred Years ago Gone Over
Tuesday and Wednesday of this week were taken up in the Circuit court in determining the legal heirs of Louis Gurnoe, who died some twenty-five years ago. It was claimed by the petitioner, John Gurnoe, son of Louis, and the representative of the children of Louis Gurnoe by Archange Cadotte, that his branch of the family are the only legitimate children and heirs at law of Louis Gurnoe. This was disputed by Isabelle Cota, and her descendants who contend that previous to the marriage of Louis Gurnoe and Archange Cadotte in 1820, Gurnoe had taken unto himself a lawful wife in the person of Angelique Defoe and that his children by her, to-wit: Isabella Cota, Frank, Louis and Joseph Gurnoe are his legal heirs. Many interesting features arose during the progress of the trial, as, in attempting to prove the marriage of Gurnoe and Angelique Defoe 1809, the marriage ceremonies as performed by the Indians, and by contract with witnesses in the early days of the Sault were pretty thoroughly described by witnesses, some of them so far removed from youth that their own ages had been long since forgotten. The Gurnoe family was represented by E. S. B. Sutton, C. C. Yerkes and M. J. Doyle and the Cotal branch by J. W. McMahon. Decision reserved.

Thomas Ellis Tries to Cross the Waiskai on Logs and Fails
Thomas Ellis was drowned here in Waiskai river about 2 o'clock Monday afternoon. He attempted to cross the river on the logs, which was made somewhat difficult to do on account of pulp wood being mixed with the logs. Another man was crossing the river at the same time, but some little distance from Ellis. He saw Ellis, when near the shore, fall onto his knees on the logs. He called to him, when Ellis recovered and got on his feet again. The other man reached the shore and turned around only to see Ellis in the water struggling with the pulp wood. He reached a log and attempted to climb onto it but before the other man could reach him or render any assistance Ellis disappeared under the logs and wood and was not seen again until his body was recovered about an half hour later.
The coroner was telegraphed for, but as he could not reach the place until next day noon, the body was given in charge of Ellis' brother who came on the evening train from Dollarville and took the remains to the Soo. Ellis was a single man. His home was in Canada. He had been working here only a half-day.

News From Gatesville
Sudden Death of Mrs. Fountain and Other Recent Occurrences
The people of Gatesville were startled by the news of the sudden death of Mrs. Fountain, on the morning of the 7th inst. in her seventieth year. For twenty hours she complained of a pain in her breast, but did not seem to think seriously about it, for she attended to her house hold duties most of the time. Before sunrise she was up and about, but feeling very weak she called to her son for a drink of water which he was prompt in bringing to her, but of which she did not taste, for as her son approached her with the water he beheld her swaying towards him, and dropping the cup and water he sprang and caught her in his arms and bore her to a lounge, where he laid her in cold grim death, the lifeless form of a beloved mother. The large concourse of people who followed her remains to their last resting place in Montrose cemetery, on the 9th inst., was a testimonial to the esteem with which she was regarded by neighbors. Her sorrowing sons Andrew and George, gave evidence of such grief as is rarely noticeable in men of their calm demeanor. The only daughter (Mrs. Wall) who was able to attend her funeral, was so overcome with sorrow we were not disposed to intrude upon her thoughts. The numerous grandchildren old and young alike, showed great reverence for the fond grandmother. Mrs. Fountain was born in Nova Scotia, from where she emigrated thirty years ago to Ontario and again ten years ago to Michigan, settling in Gatesville in company with three other families, who were the first four settlers in the wild forests of Detour township....

A Sad Accident.
Little Ray Cory Burned So Badly That He Dies....
The news of the sad accident that resulted in the death of Ray, the bright little son of Rev. and Mrs. H. P. Cory, at Greencastle, Ind. was received here this week. A letter from the bereaved father gives the full particulars of the affair. On Thursday of last week the unfortunate child, in company with a brother, was playing in front of a neighbor's house, where some leaves and twigs from trees had been burning, and by some means he stumbled and fell into the smouldering embers. His clothes caught fire and before any one could get to him he was so badly burned that five hours later he breathed his last. As soon as his screams were heard Mrs. Cory rushed out, enveloped him in a blanket and smothered the flames. The child was not burned deeply, but over a large surface of his body, arms neck and under the chin, while his face was disfigured but little. It is thought he must have inhaled the flames, or his injuries would not have been fatal. To use the language of the letter, "the funeral was held on Saturday afternoon, under a gray November sky, with the kind administration of loving friends, smoothing out and hiding under flowers and evergreens, so far as possible, the repulsive features of burial, we laid his little body to rest in the beautiful cemetery on the hill."

As August Beck, a respected citizen of Negaunee, was returning to his home from business, Monday evening, Nov. 10, he was met by a crowd of fiendish Finlanders, a number of which held him, while the balance drew knives and carved him, inflicting dangerous wounds in his breast and frightfully cutting his arms in numerous places. The murderous fiends left their victim in an unconscious state, and he was picked up by friends, who at once took him to a hospital where he received medical attention. He will probably die.

Death of Jos. Richley.
In Sound Slumber He Crossed the Mystic River Without Suffering.
Joseph Richley, proprietor of the Soo bus and baggage line, a well known and genial character, slept off to death at one o'clock Thursday morning, as a result of an acute attack of pneumonia, due to exposure during a recent trip to West Superior. Mr. Richley was not sick long and never realized the near approach of dissolution, as he fell into a profound slumber, with stentorous breathing and was in that conditon without once rallying for 36 years previous to his demise. He had been in this city for several years and prospered here sufficiently to acquire considerable property. Born in Canada he came to the states at an early date and was a famous bus driver for years at Bay City. He leaves a wife but no children. A sister resides at Bay City and a brother at Hurd's Corners, Mich. To the latter his remains were taken at 3:30 o'clock yeserday afternoon. Frank and Fred Cooper and gentlemen of good repute, will continue the bus and baggage line here. The world would be a great deal better if it had no worse men than Jos. Richley was. Decency was his motto at all times and if a man had no money Joe, hauled him 'for nothing.'.... The deceased was 43 years old.

An Old Resident Gone.
Thomas McNight Dies in Chicago and is Brought Here for Burial.
Thomas McNight, a former well known and respected resident of this city, died Wednesday morning, of paralysis, at the ripe old age of 80, at the residence of his son, Lester McNight, 5925 Wright street, Chicago. The remains accompanied by the sorrowing son, were brought here Thursday afternoon for burial.... A large number of old citizens and friends met the body at the depot and escorted the remains to the Presbyterian church, where funeral services were conducted by Rev T. R. Easterday, in the presence of a large audience ... The pall bearers were M. W. Scranton, Thos. Ryan, Guy H. Carleton, A. B. Roach, Fred Trempe and Wm. Ruckle. The body was interred in the family lot on the old McNight farm on the hill just south of the city, where also repose the remains of his mother, a wife and three sons, and also of Mrs. McDonald, who was an old friend of the family. Thomas McNight was born in St. Johnsbury, Vt., and there married also. Mr. and Mrs. McNight came to Sault Ste. Marie, in 1852, having buried in their old home two children and bringing with them their son Lester. Three children were born to them here, all of whom are gone to the beyond.
He had the management of the Chippewa Portage company's business of transferring the freight around the rapids and was afterwards a member of this company. When the lock and canal were finished in 1855, he assisted in locking the first boat through to Lake Superior. He acquired considerale property in those early days. At one time he owned most of the land on which the business portion of the city now stands, as well as several tracts of farming land. Mrs. Olive W. McNight was one of the original members at the organization of the Presbyterian church of this city; two only of the number still remain in the church below. For many of the early years of the church Mr. and Mrs. McKnight were its earnest suporters. On Jan. 22, 1867, while crossing the river in a cutter with Mrs. McDonald, his housekeeper, and his son Frank, about twelve years old, the ice gave way; Mrs. McKnight only was rescued and he more dead than alive. The body of the housekeeper was found and laid away just three months later beside the wife and two children she had nursed with such tender hands. The body of the son will be recovered only when the sea shall give up its dead. About two years later the grandmother suddenly died of heart disease and so the the family was broken up.
For many years Attorney McKnight was a prominent character here, being plentified with many interests and holding many offices in the gift of the people. While this was the collector of customs port he was the deputy, and at the time of the change he went to Marquette and was chiefly the instrument in establishing the office there. Shortly afterwards the infirmities of age came upon him and for five years or more past he has been quite an invalid. Death at last came by two strokes of paralysis, the first on the fifth inst. and the second about a week later.
Lester McKnight, who accompanied the remains of his father here, is the only surviving member of the family. He has been employed for fifteen years by Libby, McNeil & Libby, beef packers, of Chicago. He was warmly greeted by his friends here, who extended their heartfelt sympathy in his affliction, and rendered him great assistance in his sad errand. Mr. McKnight desires THE NEWS to thank all the old friends of his father who so kindly volunteered their services. He expects to return home today.

M. G. Payment, Once the King of Sugar Island, Dies at Bay City.
Old residents of the Soo will be pained to learn of the death of M. G. Payment, at Bay City. A very full biographical sketch appeared in a Bay City paper, from which the following is taken:
"M. G. Payment passed peacefully away at 1:05 o'clock yesterday afternoon at his residence on the southwest corner of Campbell and Johnson street, in the 80th year of his age. The funeral will take place tomorrow afternoon at 2:30 o'clock from the residence and the remains will be interred in the family lot in Oak Ridge cemetery, West Bay City. Services will be held at the house by Rev. J. S. Holmes, pastor of the First Baptist Church.
"Deceased was born at Pointe Claire, near Montreal P. Q. Jan 20, 1812. After completing his education he was engaged in the mercantile business at Montreal and Vaudrueil, and in 1837 he removed to Detroit, where he established trading posts with Lake Superior, Mackinaw and Sugar Island. In 1840, he was united in marriage to C. Edesse, the oldest daughter of Dominique Riopelle, a young lady of wealth and accomplishments, who died at Sugar Island in 1850, at the age of 30 years, leaving four young children, the youngest an infant daughter who died at the age of six months. Miss Rose Payment, sister of the deceased, made her home with her widowed brother and his three sons until her death, which occurred in Bay City in 1888. In 1876 Mr. Payment removed from Detroit to Bay City, where he engaged in the real estate business and devoted his spare time to the study of the English language, in which he was successful, becoming quite proficient in both the French and English language. Mr. Payment's life was one of constant struggle, but he was a man of uncommon natural talents and indomitable energy and activity, and he remained perseverent to the end, in spite of the deepest calamities and loss of money in speculations of various kinds. He studied the scriptures diligently for twenty- five years and knew the New Testament by heart. His mental faculties remained bright and clear to the last, and the noble example which he set will make him regretted by all with whom he came in contact. He left a collection of valuable manuscripts to his son, F. C. Payment, who was deeply attached to him and was constantly in his company for months up to the time of his death. The surviving members of his family are Dr. R. C. Payment, dentist, of Detroit; Clovis C. Payment, engineer, at Sault Ste. Maire, and Fred C. Payment, of Bay City, who has been engaged in the real estate business, and was also connected with the grocery business for several years.

His watch was found in the path leading from the house to the bank of the lake, but nothing was thought of this as he never wore a chain and had lost it many times before. Coronor Bacon thought it accidental drowning and did not hold an inquest. The boy had to use a small skiff to reach the sail boat and it is surmised that he fell from it as it was very narrow. Henry was a bright and industrious boy, and his death is a severe blow to his parents. The remains will be interred at Riverside at 10 o'clock this morning.

July 25, 1891 Page 2 "Old Narcisse' Dead.
He Expires With His Boots, Overcoat and Sash on Tuesday Noon.
Narcisse Bresbean, known to every resident of the Soo as "Old Narcisse," died at the residence of Cap. A. Stiles, No. 185 Cedar street, at noon Tuesday, of inflammation of the bowels. He had been sick but a week. "Old Narcisse" was a character long to be remembered, and especially by the city children. He was born in the far Northwest and came to this city seventy years ago, so the oldest residents say. He was known by everybody, and his peculiar dress, consisting of a long overcoat, worn winter and summer with a bright red sash, a quaint old hat and heavy walking stick, was most noticeable. He could be seen from early morn until dark slowly promenading the principal streets, muttering incoherently and fighting back at the nagging street gamins. Poor fellow, half-witted, he had no living relative and outside of old Cap. Stile and wife, he called none other friend. With them he had lived off and on for over forty years. No one present when a NEWS reporter called at the house where his remains reposed, Wednesday, could tell his age. Several claimed he was over an hundred years old. At his death the remains were removed to an adjoining house, as the Stiles residence would not even accomodate the friends of the deceased Mrs. Stiles, who died the same day. There was the body in a cheap coffin provided by the county, in an unoccupied house, where the only furniture was the casket, stools and three chairs. Two women were in charge and the spectacle was a sad one. Narcisse was buried in the Catholic cemetery Thursday morning at 8 o'clock.

Death of Mrs. Cap. Stiles.
An Old Settler Leaves the Declining Circle For the Bourne Beyond the River.
Pauline Johnson Stiles, wife of Cap. A. Stiles, died at her home, No. 185 Cedar street, at 5 o'clock Tuesday afternoon, of inflammation of the bowels, after an illness of eleven days, aged 75 years. Mrs. Stiles had been an invalid for two years, but bore her sufferings bravely and never failed to look after and care for her household duties. She was known by many and every one who knew her held her in the highest esteem. She was a friend to the friendless, and a poor person never left her door empty handed. She was born and reared in this city and her birth place was near the present Fort Brady. Besides a husband, who is one of the oldest employes on the canal, she leaves a sister Mrs. Sophia Edwards, and three nieces, Mrs. Joseph Rouleau, Mrs. Allen Rains and Miss Sophia Edwards, and a nephew Captain Edward Edwards. The funeral occurred from St. Mary's church Thursday morning at 9 o'clock and the remains were interred at St. Mary's cemetery. Mrs. Stiles was one of the most interesting of the Soo's very old settlers. Her mind was clear, her memory strong and her fund of reminiscence consequently large. She had been heard to tell of unrecorded events in the Soo which occurred on from the time she was five years old. In the older circle, where the evening of life grows fast into darkness, there will be a vacant chair and it will not be filled, but will keep company with those vacated before.

Superior. [Special Correspondence.]
Another noble woman has been called away. Our little community is again mournful on account of the death of Mrs. Eleanor Harrington, of this place, at her home on the 4th inst. Her death was quite unexpected. Alhough she had been very ill for about eleven days, we had hopes of her recovery up to almost the last hour. No one has been called away who was more universally loved and respected than our dear friend and neighbour. She had words of kindness and friendship for every one. Her home was made pleasant by many pet animals, birds and flowers which were tenderly cared for by their loving and beloved mistress.... Mrs. Harrington was about 48 years of age and was a member of a large family of very worthy and respectable people. She leaves one son, a number of brothers and sisters and very many friends, who mourn her departure. She was followed to her resting place in the cemetery in the city of Sault Ste. Marie by many relatives and friends. Owing to the burial place being so far from here there was only a short service of prayer at the residence before going. A funeral service will be preached in the Pilgrims church of this place, and perhaps at Bay Mills also tomorrow, by Rev. Leonard, the Methodist pastor.

Killed a Babe.
A Canadian Bald Eagle's Fatal Attack on a Pappoose.
The details of an uncommon and awfully tragic event that occurred last Sunday in the Echo River region, about twenty miles from here, arrived in the city through the medium of a Scandinavian pulpwood worker named Svenson, who came in Monday. From his recital in badly fractured language, it appears that a Chippewa squaw named Quo Quak, one of a camping party of Indians, near the river, had her papoose tied in the usual wooden frame used in transporting children, on their backs. It leaned against a convenient tree, while the dusky mother packed various things and otherwise prepared for a journey. While thus engaged the squaw was aroused by the child's terrified screams. Hastening to it she found a large bird, no doubt an eagle, of which considerable numbers breed in the Canadian mountains near by, attacking the defenseless child with beak, claws and wings.....Their efforts were for naught as the baby died the next day....

Account of the Life of Miss Clark's and Mrs. McTavish's Mother.
The Meaford, Ont., Mirror has this account of the life of the late Mrs. Robert Clark, mother of Miss Clark and Mrs. J. W. McTavish of this city.
As the late Mrs. Robt. Clark, who death was referred to in our columns last week, was well known to many of our readers, a short sketch of her life may be of some interest. Mrs. Clark was a daughter of Mr. David Miller. she was born in the county of Monaham, Ireland, in the year 1833 and came with her parents to Chingacousy township, Ontario, when seven years of age. After remaining there for sometime, the family removed to St. Vincent, where her father took up considerable property in the vicinity of Meaford, and built the first grist mill in the place. At the age of seventeen years she was married to Mr. Robt. Clark. Mr. and Mrs. Clark settled on a bush farm on the townline of Euphrasia and St Vincent. By industry and perseverence they soon made for themselves and children a comfortable home. Besides the old homestead consisting of 200 acres of land, Mr. Clark owns considerable other property, and we need hardly add that his wife contributed much to his success. Six years ago they moved to Meaford, where they have resided since. Mrs. Clark had two sons and ten daughters, of whom two are dead. Several of the children are married and comfortably settled in life. Two, Mrs. McTavish and Miss Minnie Clark, resides at Sault Ste. Marie. Mrs. Clark was a member of the Methodist church, and there is consolation for the sorrowing family in the thought that she has only gone before, to a land where parents and children may be reunited and where parting is unknown. The funeral on Friday afternoon to Meaford cemetery was largely attended by sympathizing friends and relatives.

His father opened a store in 1848 where the First National Bank in now located and before very long the son succeeded to the business ....
Left to mourn their great affliction are five sons and four daughters. They ministered to his last wants lovingly. Death came like a peaceful calm and the remains suggested those lines of Shelley, in Queen Mab: ....

Father L. T. Garceau, who consoled the deceased during his departing hours.... At 10 o'clock the solemn service was concluded and the funeral procession wended its way to the City of the Dead....

William Ruehle Identifies Geredot Who was Drowned Here in 1869.
Last Saturday, while a couple of men were digging in a sewer trench near the opera house they unearthed a box which contained the bones of a man. William Ruehle, who is an old resident of the Soo, identified the remains as that of Henry Geredot, who kept a saloon on Water street in 1869 and says the man was drowned in the river in April of that year. Mr. Ruehle was at that time custom inspector at this port,and Corporal Cloit, a lieutant, and two privates from Fort Brady and Geredot engaged a boat from Mr. Rueble to go to Canada and while returning the boat was capsized in some manner and Geredot and Corporal Clore were drowned. Geredot was buried in the old grave yard which was located where the city hall now stands. Mr. Ruehle was present at the funeral and knew just where the grave was located. To make the identification doubly sure there were hanging to the feet of the corpse, which was moved to the city cemetery Saturday, sewed boots which Mr. Reuhle had made for the man a few weeks previous to his untimely end. It is thought that many more graves were neglected when the transfer was made from the old to the new burying grounds.

Mrs. Bonno was feeling quite well and walked to the depot to see a friend go away on the train. Shortly after the train left she had a fainting spell and thought she would go to Mrs. Giest, her niece, who lives near the depot, but before she got to Mrs. Giest's she beckoned to them to come to her. She was seen and helped to the house and died shortly after. The only words she spoke being, "Oh, My children." Mrs. Bonno was a good mother and a hard working woman, always pleasant and pleasing to converse with. The writer had many a pleasant chat with her.

A Strange Killing.
Mrs. Dalton Shoots James Wice Dead at Her Doorway

Saturday Night.
Another killing affray was added to Chippewa county's annals of tragedies shortly after 8 o'clock last Saturday evening, when Mrs. Mary Dalton shot down James Wice, at the door of her home, in the western part of the city. Wice was shot in the left eye, with a revolver bullet, the ball passing clear through the head, causing instant death. One story runs about as follows: James Wice, a hard working man who lived with his wife at Raber and who was employed in the mill of Feltus & Treadwell, came to this city on the Faxton last Saturday evening in search of a woman to accompany him home to take care of his sick wife. Mrs. Harriet McIntyre was recommended and he started out to find her. Shortly after 7 o'clock he called at M. Reidy's grocery store, corner Magazine and Spruce Sts. and asked Mr. Reidy to direct him to Mrs. McIntyre's house, which is located in that part of the city. He was shown the way, but the night was very dark and a dreary rain was falling at the time Wice made a mistake and knocked at the door of the Dalton house, and was shot by Mrs. Dalton. This occurred about 8 o'clock, Abram Dalton, the husband, said to The News that he was down town at the time and returned home shortly before 9 o'clock. He was told by his wife that she had shot at some one three times, but did not know whether she hit him or not. Dalton said he than retired, and did not see the dead man until 6 o'clock Sunday morning. At 7 o'clock Sunday morning Dalton went to the home of Officer David Ellis and informed him of the affair, and requested Mr. Ellis to remove the body, as he did not care to have it so close to his house. The dead body laid with upturned face and outstretched arms all night long and until almost noon next day in a torrent of rain when, by order of Coroner Bacon, it was removed to Blake's morgue.
Mrs. Dalton was arrested by Deputy Sheriff Lessard. She was taken before Justice Warner Wednesday morning,.... The murdered man was 30 years of age, and is said to have been a quiet, sober and industrious man. He married a daughter of Andrew J. Smith two years ago, who with one child, survives him.

Western Reserve Victims Float Ashore-Other Waftings of the Waves.
Six more bodies from the Western Reserve wreck came ashore twelve miles north of life saving station No. 12 Thusday morning. They were the remains of Capt. Albert Meyers, the Reserve's commander, the little son of Capt. Peter G. Minch, the owner, and four unknowns. They were in a bad state of decomposition and had to be buried on the shore by the life saving crew at station 12. One of the four is thought to be that of Martin Klausen, the look out, but Capt. Frahm said he was not sure. The bodies of Capt. Meyers and the Minch child will be exhumed and taken to Cleveland. This makes a total of twelve found so out far of the twenty-six lost.

They expect to leave tomorrow in company with Undertaker Jacob Vanderhook for Lite Saving Station number 12 to exhume the bodies of Mrs. Captain Minch, her two children, Captain Albert Meyers and Marten Klasen, and take them to Cleveland for burial. Mr. Klasen is a brother of Martin Klasen, the lookout who was drowned in the wreck of the Western Reserve. Mr. Fisher is a stepson of Captain Meyers, and Captain Coles came up to look after the removal of the Minch's. Other friends and relatives of the others buried at Station 12 are expected to arrive today from Chicago on the same mission. All the bodies, excepting the six that were in the metalic life boat and that of the Egglesby child have been recovered.

A Fatal Accident.
Alex. Watson Meets Death by a Bullet From an Unknown Source.
A sad and fatal accident occurred near Stirlingville last Saturday afternoon, resulting in the death of Alex. Watson, a most estimable young man. David Hill jr. and Alex. Watson, bosum friends, living in the vicinity of Stirlingville, were returning home from a hunt. Mr. Watson was walking behind Mr. Hill, who was carrying a rifle over his shoulder. Following the report of a gun, Mr. Watson cried "I am shot," and would have fallen had he not been caught by his friend. Mr. Hill called his brother Henry Hill who was working near. Dr. Webster was summoned, the injured man taken to the residence of the Hills and everything possible done to relieve, his sufferings. But his wound was so severe that he died within a few hours. From whence came the bullet that cut off the life of Mr. Watson is a mystery. The wound was in the left side, just above the hip bone, and two low to have been caused by a shot from a rifle carried in the ordinary manner by a man of Mr. Hill's height. This, with the fact that Mr. Hill had as many cartridges on his return home as he did when he started out, and the additional fact that other rifle reports were heard at the time of the accident, leads to the belief that the wound was caused by a shot fired by some unknown person. David Hill Jr. was almost crazed with grief over the tragic affair and Dr. Webster had to administer opiates before he could be calmed. He is exonerated from all blame in the terrible affair by the Watsons. The remains of Mr. Watson were interred Tuesday at Graham's cemetery. His death has cast a gloom over the entire community.

A Destitute Widow and Children Given Relief by Kind Neighbours
One of the saddest sights that has been witnessed in the city for many years was that observed at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Abram Beacock, on East Portage avenue, Thursday. At 3:15 a.m. that day Mr. Beacock, who had been sick with typhoid fever for many weeks died. At about the noon hour James Harvey entered the house and found the father dead, Mrs. Beacock almost sick from overwork and six children, ranging in age from one to twelve years old, suffering with hunger and shivering with cold, there being no fuel in the house and but little, if anything to eat. Mr. Harvey at once notified the neighbors, and with the assistance of E. J. Penny, R. J. Stuart and others, soon ministered to the wants of the unfortunates. Willing hands soon arrived and the good women of the neighbourhood did everything in human power to lighten the grief of the heart-broken Mrs. Beacock and children. The deceased came here from Bay Mills two months ago, and opened up a meat market in the Ireland's building, just below Johnstone street, on Portage avenue. When he arrived here he had about $500, but in opening up his business spent most of it, and was just beginning to realize some profit when he was stricken down a month ago. He was 40 years old and before coming to this country lived at Wyevale, Ont. The funeral will occur today. The widow is deeply grateful to R. J. Stuart, E. J. Penny, James Harvey proprietor of the Wilbur House, and the ladies of the various church societies for their kind attentions. Mrs. Parker, mother of Mrs. Beacock, arrived here yesterday.

Owing to the negligence the correspondent failed to chronicle the death and sketch the life of John W. Grady, who died after a brief illness of a week at the residence of Jos.

While in that country he followed the occupation of fishing and sailing which he carried on quite successfully. From there he went to Grey Co. Ont., near Leith, where he purchsed a farm and followed rural pursuits for thirty years. Getting old and infirm he bequeathed his farm to his son James and in 1885 came to the Soo, and lived with his daughter Mrs. Jos. Hembruff up to the time of his death. Mr. Grady intellectually was a very bright man and could converse on almost any topic fluently and was well informed on current events. He had been an earnest and devout christian for about thirty years. He leaves a family of twelve, scattered our different parts of North America, to mourn his loss. His remains were interred in Sand Hill cemetery, and many friends attended the funeral, showing him the last respect that is possible for man to show the death on this earth.

The sufferings of Nelson Ostrom, the faithful old lock employee, who has been sick for so long, were ended by death Wednesday night at the Stewart boarding house, on River street. His remains were interred yesterday afternoon at the city cemetery, all the members of the lock force turning out in a body to pay their respect to the memory of their late comrade.

Nelson Ostrom, whose age is unknown, but who was thought to have been 65 to 70 years old, was of a very peculiar disposition. One of his eccentricities was a lack of confidence in the banks. It is related of him that several years ago he hid a sum of money, said to be $650, in the woods across the river, and on account of his failure to properly mark the spot was unable afterwards to find the money, which, so far as known, remains in its hiding place to this day.

An old friend of the Ashmund family has furnished THE NEWS the following sketch of Edward G. Ashmund, who died March 15, 1893 at Fresno, Cal.
Edward G. Ashmun, son of Judge Edward Ashmun, formerly of this city, was born in Sault Ste. Marie, March 31st, 1858 and was at the time of his death, sixteen days less than thirty-five years of age. Mr. Ashmun was brought up in this city, and the family, originally from New York state, were both there and here affiliated with the Presbyterian church Judge Samuel Ashmaun, E. G.'s grandfather and Jehudi Ashmun famous to colonization of Laberia, and first govenor of that county, were brothers. Edward G. Ashmun was educated in the common school of this city, and in his day, school district No. 1 not only embraced the whole village, but the whole township as well. Much of the time while he was a pupil the school was taught by Rev. T. R. Easterday, who for several years was the only protestant minister in the county of Chippewa. His instructions in the church, the Sunday school and the day school were received from that clergyman, by whom he was baptized. In a period of nearly thirty years the funerals of the grandfsther, father, mother, sister, nieces, nephews, and nearly all the marriages were conducted or solemnized by the one pastor who, on the 17th, at the hour Edward E. was buried in San Francisco, held memorial services with the relatives and friends in the old Ashmun homestead on Ridge street.
The family here knew of Egie's illness, but were ignorant of its serious character until the message of Charles Harris was received, announcing his death. Mr. Ashmun went west about ten years ago. He was for almost all the time since in the employ of one firm, by whom he was held in the highest esteem. Some two years ago he married Miss Anna Shultzberg of whom he was the most devoted of husbands. Mrs. Ashmun, with an infant daughter twelve days old at the fatheris death, are left in their loneliness.....

DROWNED IN FORD RIVER.
Oscar Lerou Leaves Bay Mills To go On A Drive And Loses His Life.
Moses Lerou, of LaFontaine, Simcoe county, Ontario, a brother of Jos. Lerou, of Bay Mills, and of Mrs. Fred Dufresne, of the Soo, was in the city this week attending to matters growning out of the drowning of his son Oscar, about two weeks ago, near Escanaba. Oscar Lerou was 19 years and five days old when he drowned. He came to the Soo a little over a year ago and went to work soon afterwards for the Hull & Munson Co., at Bay Mills. That he was frugal is proven by the fact that his father found $110, to his credit in the Soo Savings Bank; $21 at the Hall & Munson office; #15 and a trunk full of good clothes and a gold watch at an Escanaba hotel. Young Lerou left here to go on a Gord river drive. On the last day of May he was riding on a log with another driver and fell off. Coming up once, his companion could not rescue him and his body has not been recovered. The drowning took place 35 miles from the mouth of the stream and three miles above the Ford river dam. The father of the drowned man is a hard working farmer and was deeply affected by the sudden loss of his favorite son. He left for home Thursday after having secured all of his son's effects.

Two Men Killed By Lightning.
Sleeping in a tent near a Giant Tree, Which is Struck by the Fiery Bolt, They were Ushered into Eternity in an instant
Joseph McGirr, a well known resident of this city, committed suicide by drowning himself in the river at the Canadian Soo Thursday evening about 5 o'clock, while it is supposed in a fit of despondencey, brought about by business and private troubles. Mr. McGirr went across the river Thursday, sought the middle dock, took off his coat and vest, jumped into the water and was drowned. A resident on the other side, who witnessed the act, vainly attempted a rescue. He reported the matter. The body was soon recovered, brought to this side and taken to the Pacific House, near the depot, which is conducted by John McGirr, a brother of the deceased. In the pocket of the dead man was found a note saying in effect that his troubles had driven him crazy; that he was tired of life and had drowned himself. The deceased for a time, recently, was associated with Joseph Walker in the restaurant business, but lost money in enterprise, and this with other troubles, is supposed to have led him to end his life.... Mr. Girr was a brother-in-law of Gilbert Van Wyck. He leaves two sons, aged about 10 and 12 years. His wife died some years ago. The funeral will be conducted by the Rev. P. T. Rowe, M.A., at 2 o'clock to-day, at the Pacific Huse, and the remains will be interred at Riverside cemetery by Undertaker Vanderhook.
