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.

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.

A SOO ROMANCE.
Death of J. Logan Chipman Revives His Career Here.
MARRIED AN INDIAN PRINCESS.
Then He Civilized and Educated Her and was Happy.
The late Detroit Congressman Dedicated the Chippewa County court Hosue and was a Factor Here in the Early Days
Congressman J. Logan Chipman of Detroit, a brother-in-law of Edward and Louis Shawano, of this city, and John Roussain, of Sugar Island, died in Detroit at 7 o'clock Thursday morning, of hypostatic pnemonia. While Judge Chipman had been ailing for some time his death was not expected....
In 1851 he became engaged to a charming young lady in the Soo, a member of one of the first and best-to-do-families. They fell out in some way and the young lady bestowed her smiles on an officer at Fort Brady. This enraged Chipman and he almost at once sought the hand of Lizzie Shawano, the full blooded Indian daughter of the head chief of the Chippewa. The wooing was swift and they were wed. Lizzie is spoken of as a beautiful Indian girl. She left here with her gay young husband to go to Detroit attired in her Indian garb, with her hair hanging in a glossy plait down her back and her head covered with a government blanket. At first Chipman's refined mother and sisters were greatly shocked, but they sensibly made the best of the occasion and at once proceeded to civilize and educate the young princess, ala Pocahontas. When she came to the Soo in later years the Indian wife is spoken of as having been as fine a lady as the land afforded. Four children were born to this union and the marriage was a happy one. Then the Chippewa princess died. Of her children who still live Harry Chipman, the Detroit Lawyer, is the "John Randolph, of Roanoke." Another child, and the only daughter, married into the family of Buhl, the wealthy Detroit furrier. J. Logan Chipman mourned his wife for a time and then married again- a white woman.....
John Logan Chipman was born at Detroit, June 5, 1830, and was educated in the schools of that city and in the University of Michigan. He comes from a celebrated family, being the son of Judge Henry Chipman, a well-known and honoured name in Detroit history and a grandson of United States Judge and Senator Nathaniel Chipman, of Vermont. His mother was a South Carolinian, from whom he takes his middle name....

(Special to THE NEWS)
Detour, March 20, 1894, - A distressing case of self-murder occurred here last Monday evening at 8 o'clock. It caused great excitement. John Donahue had been occupying a {room}? On the 3d floor of the Park hotel. On Monday evening, with no warning whatever, he smashed the window of his room and jumped out. In the fall of 40 feet he turned over twice and then alighted on his head on the sidewalk. Donahue was hastily picked up and was given medical attention at once. It was found that over half of his skull had been bared by the blow and the sight was a sickening one. The unfortunate man, who must have been temporarily deranged, died at 6 o'clock Tuesday morning, without gaining consciousness. Donahue has a wife and child at Allendale, Ont. Dr. W. B. House, who is the coroner held an inquest Tuesday, and a verdict in accordance with the foregoing facts were rendered. The corpse was interred by Corner House. Our bright little town is being shocked by tragedies altogether too often.
Donahue worked in 1 of the camps of the Island Cedar Co. during the winter, and last summer worked for Hughes Bros. & Bangs on Drummond Island. He boarded at O'Briens boarding house, and jumped out of a second story window there. He was 31 years old.

Canadian Sault.
Mr. Wemyss McKenzie Simpson of Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., who died at Old Point Comfort, Va., on the 31st of March, was, besides being one of the oldest residents in the Algoma district a representative man of a generation fast passing away. Mr. Simpson was born in London, Eng., on the 30th of March, 1824, and after a course of education at Eton he came to Canada early in 1841 as an apprentice to the Hudson Bay Company, in which his brother-in-law, Sir George Simpson, held a distinguished position. On his arrival Mr. Simpson was attached to the Hudson Bay offices at Lachine, whence he was afterwards drafted, in the spring of 1846, by way of the Ottawa river, Lakes Huron and Nipissing and of the St. Mary's river and Lake Superior, to Fort Garry. Here and at posts between the Red River and York factory, notably at Cumberland House, Norway House and Edmonton, he spent many years. It was during this period that trouble ensued when the Sixth British regiment and detachments of artillery and engineers occupied the territory. He was subsequently appointed to the charge of the Lake Huron district, with headquarters at La Cloch. It was during the later period that he married a daughter of the late Captain Ironside, at that time superintendent of the Northern Indian agency at Manitowaning. A year or two later he took charge of the old Hudson Bay fort at Sault Ste. Marie and remained there until, in 1864, he finally retired from the service. This fort was abandoned in 1869. Mr. Simpson, on retirement, acquired the land and built the house east of the town in which he resided for over a quarter of a century. It should be mentioned that on the creation of the Anglican missionery diocese of Algoma, with Bishop Fauquier as its first incumbent, Mr. Simpson gave a portion of the land so acquired for the See house and grounds where Bishophurst now stands. Mr. Simpson, on settling down at "Upton," a name given to his domicile from old country associations, became, of course, intimately connected not only with Sault society but also with its interests and needs. In 1866, after a sharp contest, he became, by a narrow majority, the first member for Algoma in the Dominion parliaments. Sir John Macdonald facetiously after the interests of his constituents during his tenure of office, and when he retired it was with respect and good wishes of political friends and opponents. He was never a very pronounced politician, and towards the end of his life, through travel and enlarged associations, his opinions underwent considerable, if not radical change. Mr. Simpson raised a very large family, 14 in all, of which 11 remain, some at the Sault and others in varius parts of the Dominon - one, we believe in the states. Two girls died young, and one in infancy. A son, Frederick Stanley a splended specimen of manhood, was drowned at the Saskatchewan falls in 1892 in attempting to rescue a Hudson Bay officer who was unable to swim and who, with his would be savior, was immersed by the upsetting of a canoe. Two other sons, Gerald and Scott, are in the Hudson Bay Company's service; two daughters, Mrs. James and Mrs. Garney, reside at Portage LaPrairie, Mr. Frank Simpson, the eldest son, holds a responsible position in connection with the great Ogilvie milling firm at Winnipeg. A daughter is married to Mr. Henry Plummer, collector of customs at the Sault, and another to Mr. Jos. Cozens, P.L.S. The youngest of the family, twins, residing at home, are Miss Edith and Mr. Algoma Simpson. The late Mr. Simpson was twice married, first in 1853 to Miss Annie Symington Ironside and the second time in 1888 to Miss Eliza Ironside, his deceased wife's sister. Mr. Simpson survived nearly all his immediate relatives in the old country. His brother, General S. Simpson, long a distinguished officer in the old East India Company's service died in 1889; 4 sisters pre-deceased him within the last 7 years, and only 2 relatives remain, both living in England. Another brother, John, also in the Hudson Bay service, died at Fort Coulonge on the Upper Ottawa, sometime in the sixties. Mr. Simpson, besides being the first members of parliament for Algoma, was appointed a colonel of milita in 1872, and in that capacity and as a commissioner he assisted the late Hon. Alex. Morris in negotiating a treaty with the Indian in the north - west for a surrender of their land. He was also for many years identified with the agricultural interests of the district as president of the Algoma Agricultural society. He was also a colonel in the Reserve Melitia of Algoma. Mr. Simpson was one of the last survivors of the old school of Hudson Bay officers which will soon be extinct. Confederation and the Canadian Pacific railway have changed the conditions and minimized the profits of the fur trade and a few if any of the company's officers can now hope to retire as Mr. Simpson did in 1864 with a handsome competency.
The Indians find cash purchasers for furs all along the line who trust them as the old company did of yore and the reign of the company except in very remote regions may be said to be extinct. For the rest it may be said that the late Mr. Simpson was the soul of geniality, and until stricken down by illness, the soul of hospitality. He was full of ancedotes, good at repartee, was well up in current and old time literature; so well up indeed, that it was difficult to make a quotation with which he was not throughly familiar, and at all times and under any circumstances it could be seen that he had never forgotten the traditions of an English gentleman. He had reached his 70th year on the day he died. For more than a quarter of a century his had been a daily familiar figure on our streets, and up to his last illness "Upton" had been renowned for over 20 years as the one really hospitable spot where residents and visitors might depend on really disenterested social intercourses. By his death a void will be created here which it may be difficult to fill within our generation.
The remains of the late Mr. Simpson did not arrive as expected, on Thursday and the funeral is deferred until Saturday, April 7. His remains were shipped by express from Old Comfort, Va., Saturday. The body did not arrive until last night and for 2 days it was lost. Those concerned did not know where it was. The funeral was postponed twice. The will bequeathed all money and property to his wife. The estate amounts to about $100,000.

Donald McCallum Dies of the Dread Disease Last Monday
Donald McCallum died of diphtheria Monday afternoon at the residence of Mrs. J. Walker, on Ashmun alley. Mr. McCallum was a member of life saving station No. 10. About two weeks ago he came to the Soo after spending the winter with his parents near Montreal. He remained here for several days and then departed for his station.

The remains were interred in the city cemetery. Mr. McCallum was an important witness in the Paccoloni murder trial here last winter. He was thought by some persons at that time to have had some knowledge of the murder of Mrs. Paccaloni, but no evidence was produced to show this.

His untimely death emphasized the urgent need here of a hospital or pest house in which to care for such cases as this.

At Whitefish Point he was interested with John Clark, his brother-in-law, in a big cranberry farm. Mr. Quigley was a remarkable man for his age. He was 83 at the time of his death and was an able and interesting conversationalist. Mr. Quigley left a big fortune. Only a few days before his death he sold his farm near St. Louis for $90,000. He was married twice and his second wife, whom he married 6 years ago, and who still lives, is the mother of Wm. Clark, of Whitefish Point. Mr. Quigley and Captain Roach were warm friends and the death of the venerable gentleman is not only a shock to the captain but to Mr. Quigley's relatives and host of friends.

Death of C. Preslan, W. A. Carlisle and Mr. S. Butterfield.
ALL THREE WERE DROWNED.
First Two Were Thrown Into The Canal From Their Wheels.
Their Sad Fate a Warning to Bicyclists who Recklessly Invite Similar Accidents.
The canal is swallowing up bicycle riders with a vengenance. The second victim this week is Clifford Prestan, who run off the pier at 6:40 o'clock yesterday morning and was drowned only a few hundred feet east of where W. A. Carlisle met a similar fate Wednesday. Clifford Preslan, a bright lad of 19 years, was on his way to work yesterday morning when the fatality occurred. He boarded at Mrs. Wm.

At 6 o'clock he arose, had breakfast and left the house at 6:30 o'clock for his work in Dunbar & Sullivan's machine shop, where he had been empolyed for 18 months as firemen, under Foreman L. E. O'Mara. He was running along the north pier on his wheel. When at a point about 600 feet east of the draw bridge he went into the canal with the wheel. Nobody saw the accident but George Irwin, an employe of Dunbar & Sullivan, who arrive just in time to see the tips of his fingers disappear as he went to the bottom. A general alarm was given and Dunbar & Sullivan's entire force turned out.

A SHOCKING ACCIDENT.
The Drowning of W. A. Carlisle in the Canal Wednesday Morning.
One of the saddest cases of sudden death that ever occurred in the city was that of William A. Carlisle by drowning at the head of the ship canal at a few minutes before 11 o'clock Wednesday morning. Mr. Carlisle for two years had been employed as accountant for Dunbar & Sullivan, the dredge contractors. He was a brother in-law of H. T. Dunbar, of the above firm. Wednesday morning Mr. Carlisle left the firm's office, in THE NEWS building, to visit the dredges and shops of the firm to take the time of the several employes, as was his usual morning custom. After crossing the lock gates at the canal he mounted his bicycle and rode along the edge of the crib work next to the canal. All went well until a point near the International draw bridge was reached, when he struck some obstruction, which caused his wheel to take a sheer and without any warning he was thrown into the canal with his wheel. Mr. Carlisle could not swim. He came to the surface once. R. S. Carr and son, of St. Louis, Mo., who were near the spot fishing, ran to the drowning man's assistance, passed him a fish pole, which he grabbed and held onto, but despite the warning of Mr. Carr, who cautioned him to be still and await the arrival of assistance he attempted to climb up the frail rod, of which Mr. Carr was forced to let go. Mr. Carlisle then made an unsuccesful attempt to climb the pier, lost his hold and fell back into the water and sank to the bottom, where he remained for eight minutes before he was finally brought to the surface by grappling hooks and taken out by Sidney Kneff, an employee of Dunbar & Sulllivan, assisted by Sidney Knox and Joseph Crushier. Medical aid was summoned at once and in a very short time Drs. Lang, McDonald, Bacon and Taylor responded. All that medical aid and hard work by many willing friends could do was done, but the unfortunate man could not be resuscitated. The remains were turned over to Undertaker Blue, who prepared them for shipment to St. Catherines, Ont., where the were accompanied Thursday morning by H. T. Dunbar, Mrs. Dunbar and Mrs. Carlisle, wife of the deceased. W. A. Carlisle was born in St. Catherines 32 years ago. He had been married for several years, but had no children. His heart-broken wife and sorrowing relatives have the sympathy of the entire community. Mr. Carlisle was a genial, jovial gentlemen and commanded the respect of all who knew him.

DROWNED AT DETOUR.
Montford S. Butterfield Meets a Watery Grave While Bathing.
A gloom has overcast the thriving village of Detour since Thursday night, when one of its most promising young men, Montford S. Butterfield, was drowned in the river while in bathing in company with A. F. Carroll bookkeeper for the Island Cedar Co. Just after supper the two men went down to the river to go in bathing. They walked out on the boom where they left their clothing. The water at that point is 20 feet deep. They had only been in the water for a short time, when Carroll heard Butterfield call for help. Not being a very good swimmer Mr. Carroll asked him what he wanted. The reply came from Butterfield, "For God's sake come to me; I am drowning." Carroll swam to the boom and although very weak himself, called loudly for help. His cries were heard by Alex McCullough, who ran to the place, took off his coat and shoes, jumped into the river and made for the drowning man. But before McCullough could be reached, he sank for the last time. A searching party, which numbered almost all of the male residents of Detour, turned out and recovered the body in about an hour. Montford S. Butterfield was 22 years old, unmarried, and three sisters and his aged father Samuel Butterfield who is ex supervisor of Detour township, survive him ....

A PIONEER GONE.
Frank Denoiyer Called to His Final Reward Sunday.
Death at a Ripe Old Age.
Over Three Score Years of His Life Spent in the Soo.
He was an Early Day Voyageur and One of the Oldest Residents of Chippewa.
Frank Denoiyer, who was one of the oldest citizens in Chippewa county, died at the residence of Jos. Campbell, on Portage avenue, east, last Sunday night at the age of 89 years. For several ears he had been a sufferor from asthma and throat trouble. This affliction, coupled with declining years, brought death on the day above mentioned. Mr. Denoiyer came to the Soo 63 years ago from Montreal, and was one of the early voyageurs who made the trip from Montreal over the great lakes in open sail boat, which was portaged around Niagara Falls, and requiring almost two months to make the journey. He was for years employed here as trapper for the Old American and Hudson Bay fur companies. The log house in which he lived here for 40 years, was built by him and one of the first ever put up in Chippewa county. This house was torn down last summer. It was located on what is now the Endress property on the north side of Portage avenue, east, of Sova street. The property was given by Mr. Denoiyer to his children years ago. He was twice married. His first wife was Harriet Bingaush, by whom several children were born. Only two of these are living at present- Mrs. Hudson, of this city, and a son, Baptiste, who resides in Duluth. Shortly after the death of his first wife Mr. Denoiyer married Mrs. Jennie Ermatinger, mother of Thomas, Charles, John, James, Alex. And Isabel Ermatinger. The latter is now the wife of Joseph Campbell. No children were born from his second wife. He owned 160 acres of farm land on Sugar Island. This on Mr. Denoiuers death was left to Chas. Ermatinger. Everything else was given to Mrs. Hudson, Mr. Denoiyer's daughter by his first wife. Mr. Denoiyer was cared for during the last eight years by Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Campbell, Sr. who showed him every attention. The funeral was held from St. Mary's church Tuesday morning and the remains were laid to rest in the Catholic cemetery. The funeral was largely attended, especially by the older residents. The old settlers of Chippewa county are fast dying off. As one of these, an old man with one foot in the grave, said to THE NEWS this week, when speaking of Denoiyer, "Who will be next:?"

Death of Frank Bettes.
He Expires Suddenly Last Saturday From Heart Disease.
Frank bettes dropped dead in J. A. Francis's yard, at the corner of Sova and Maple streets, about 7 o'clock last Saturday evening, of heart failure. Mr. Bettes left his home at 7 o'clock that evening in search of one of his pigs, which had strayed away. He found it in the Barbeau grove between Cedar street and Spruce avenue. Mr. Bettes started to drive the pig to his house on Spruce avenue. The animal became unruly, began to run, and after a hard chase was finally cornered by Mr. Bettes in Mr. France's yard. Just at this point, however, Mr. Bettes fell backward to the ground, and died within a few minutes. Coroner Bacon, who was summoned and viewed the body, did not consider an inquest necessary. He says death was the result of heart trouble. Frank Bettes was 48 years old. He had lived in the Soo for 15 years, and was well known and highly respected. A wife, two sons and two daughters survive him. The funeral was held from his late home Tuesday afternoon. The services were conducted by the Rev. T. R. Easterday, and the body was taken to Riverside cemetery for interment.
Among the relatives called here by the sad death of Mr. Bettes, were his brother, A. Bettes, of Newberry, his mother, Mrs. Wm. Bettes, and his niece, Miss Hellen Bettes, of Yale, Mich.

Deid Among Strangers.
A Pathetic Incident That Occurred in the Soo Fish Week.
A sad case of death among strangers occurred in the Soo this week. Sunday morning just before train time, Dr. H. R. Floyd received a telagram to meet a sick woman at the train, with a hack, and take her to some house for medical attention. He obeyed the summons. With commendable kindness, Mrs. Floyd consented to care for the sick woman. Dr. Floyd found her in an unconcious condition. Everything possible was done for the unfortunate woman, but without avail. She died at 9:30 o'clock Sunday night regaining consciousness. The lady's name was Mrs. G. W. Pierson. She was on her way from her home at Elkham, Mont., to visit relatives at McBain, near Cadillac, Mich. She had been in poor health for several months. On the train her condition grew so bad that the trainmen thought best to bring her here for medical attention. With her was her infant, aged about 16 months. She had no baggage with her. It had been left at Duluth in her hurry to get on her way. The only way Dr. Floyd got trace of her home was by means of a box of pills which she possessed. Her husband, who was a civil engineer of Elkhart, Mont., was notified. He arrived yesterday. Mrs. Pierson's sister, Mrs. McBain, accompanied by her husband also arrived yesterday. The trio of sorrowing relatives took the remains of Mrs. Pierson to McBain for interment. Dr. Floyd says Mrs. Pierman's death was caused by uraema, from which she had been suffering for several months. The infant was tenderly cared for by Mrs. J. W. McMahon until it was taken away yesterday by relaties. The death of Mrs. Pierson was a pathetic and touching incident. The body was prepared for shipment by Undertaker Vanderhook.

The beginning of the illness which resulted in Mr. McMahon's death dates back four weeks ago, when he made several campaign speeches in Sanilac county where he lived all his life until he came to the Soo in February, 1887....
On July 27, 1871, Mr. McMahon and Miss Minerva Wheeler were married. They would have celebrated their silver wedding soon. To them have been born 12 children. A devoted wife and eight loving children survive. Of the children, the Misses Emma, Cora and Carrie have reached womanhood. Miss Emma is a valued teacher in the city schools. To his family Mr. McMahon was a perfect-father-loved and loving. His unexpected death is to them a bitter blow.
Joel W. McMahon was born in Sanilac county June 29, 1848..... His father was a brave soldier in the Mexican war. When little Joel was five years old his father was killed by a tree, under which he was camping in the woods, burning down and falling on him. The boy worked hard on a farm in the wilderness until he was 17 years old.....
The various orders will attend the funeral in a body, while the ceremony will be conducted by the Masonic blue lodge. The Rev. T.R.Easterday and the Rev. J.E.Whalen will officiate. The remains will be interred at Riverside cemetery.....

One of the Miamis
The Death of One of the Last of a Once Powerful Indian Family
Mrs. Jese Richards, a Miami Indian, daughter of Wa-ca-co-nah, one of the most conspicuous members of the tribe, died Thursday night in a miserable hovel on the Indian reservation in the southern part of this country, near Somerset. She was the last surviving member of the Wa-ca-co-nah family, influential in the Miami tribe back in the seventies. Wa-ca-co- nah, who was nearly 80 when he died, was of a religious turn, and as he was quite wealthy, having received large grants of lands from the government, he built a church at his own expense, conducting services himself for the benefit of the Miamis and the "poor whites' who hover about the Indian land. Sometime before his death the old man contracted debts and lost much of his property. His six children, each of whom received 100 acres of land from the government, attained their majority and took their real estate into their own hands, squandering it for gaudy clothing and articles for which they had no use and buying liquor in wholesale quantities. In 1880 Wa-ca-co-nah piled on the last straw when he undertook to build a gravel road from Treaty situation to his farm, four miles distant. The project was a failure, and the land, heavily mortgaged to Wabash capitalist, was sold, and the old brave died in 1881 of a broken heart. One by one the six children had mortgaged their farms to Wabash business men, who had sold them goods readily as long as their land was unencumbered, and who at each annual settlement secured the bills by taking a lien on the fertile farms.
Two year ago Mahala, who married Jesse Richards, was the remnant of the once powerful family. Both drank heavily of the worst whiskey money would buy, and when her property was dissipated Jesse deserted the woman, who sunk lower and lower in depravity until, in a little cabin in Waltz township. Thursday night, with scarcely enough clothing to keep her comfortable, the last of the Wa-ca-co-nahs perished miserably. At one time the Wa-ca-co-nahs held 1,000 acres of the most fertile lands in Wabash county. All of this has fallen into the hands of white men, and indeed there is very little of the magnificent farms with which the government endowed the Miamis remaining on the lands of the Indians, mortgage after mortgage having been foreclosed in the last ten years and the homes sold over the heads of the Indians. Comparitively few of the full bloods are left, and the children born of intermarriages are more degenerate than their ancestors - Wabach (Ind.) Dispatch.

A Pioneer Gone
John M. Johnston Died on Thursday Morning
Lived To A Ripe Old Age
He Was Born in the Soo 79 Years Ago
Played a Prominent Part in the Early History of Chippewa County
John M. Johnston, died Thursday morning at 2 o'clock, at his home on Maple street, after an illness of three months. While the news of his death sent a shock to most every one it was not unexpected by his relatives.

Mr. Johnston was one of the most popular Indian interpreters away back in the early days. He acted in that capacity for all of the Indian agents, and was the means of making several traties long before the old state lock was built. He had a wonderful memory, and had a faculty fof entertaining friends with stories of his early life. During the almost four score years of his life his reputation was spotless, and his memory will remain pure and sacred in the hearts and minds of many Sooites. He knew no enemies and acknowledged all as his friends. To mourn his loss are left a devoted wife and eight children, Spencer N., Anna M., Charlotte J., Mrs. T. C., Anthony, James L., Howard L., Henry G., and William M. The children were all present at his death bed with the exception of Spencer N., who is in Oregon, James L. who lives at Grand Rapid, Wis. And Mrs. T. C. Anthony and William, who are now at Detour. Owing to sickness Mrs. T. C. Anthony could not stand the journey to the Soo, before her father's death, but will arrive here tonight.

His death was caused by drinking a large quantity of cold water, while he was in a heated condition from work. Bawaka was an interesting character. He accidentally shot himself 15 years ago, and a round was afflicted from which but few men could recover, as a charge shot and the ramrod of a gun penetrated his breast. About five months after the accident a piece of the rod, five inches long, was extracted from his back. His recovery was almost miraculous, but he was hale and hearty up to the time of his death.

Poor Unfortunate Christine Nelson Ends Her Life of Shame
"Death by her own hand" was the verdict of Coroner Bacon after examing into the matter of the death of Christine Nelson-Davis, who expired shortly after 2 o'clock Sunday morning, in a house at the west end. Christine Nelson, as she was more widely known, was one of those "poor unfortunates" who had seen better days, but through a disappointment in love had allowed herself to drift into the depths of shame. Two years or so ago she married a soldier at Fort Brady whose name was Davis. One child was born to them. Davis died last summer, and since his death she allowed herself to sink into even deeper degradation than before. Last Saturday night she attended a bowery dance on Water street, and while there it is said she became somewhat intoxicated. On her way home she bought a quantity of morphine, which she took.--------
She left a note "Well, Scully, dear, this is my last word to you. I will die for you, dear. You have quit me for good. I hope you will better yourself. Good-bye, love."
Just who "Scully, dear" is, is not known. The funeral was held from Vanderhook's undertaking establishment Tuesday aftgernoon. The Rev. Geo. Shorter, of the mission, officiated, and the remains of the unfortunate woman were intered in the city cemetery.

Christopher Clarke an Aged Meaford Man Whose Death is widely Mourned.
Last week Mrs. J. W. McTavish and Mrs. N. L. Martin received the sad intelligence of the death of their aged uncle, Christopher Clarke, near Meaford, Ont. Feb. 12, Other relatives of Mr. Clarke are Sarah A. Rae, bookkeeper for Thomas Hopkins, of this city and Wm. Dunseath, of the Canadian, Soo. Concerning the deceased, who was a highly respected and prosperous farmer, the Meaford monitor of Feb 12 says:
Mr. Christopher Clarke, of Eupharsia, died at his residence there on Wednesday morning, after a very distressing and painful illness of some months, at the age of 70 years. About a year ago Mr. Clarke moved with his wife and daughter to Meaford, taking up his residence on Nelson street top of Layton's Hill, having purchased the home there from his son-in-law, Mr. Wm. Dunseath. Mr. Clarke had been in rather poor health since the fall of 1894. The sad death of Mrs. Dunseath, his daughter, was a severe blow from which it appears he never fully recovered. Latterly his mind became unhinged, which was a source of extreme anxiety to his family. Deceased was an honest, kindly citizen and neighbour: social and obliging in disposition. He leaves a wife and six children–four sons and two daughter's–two daughters having predeceased their father. Mr. Clarke came from Ireland to Canada in 1842. He, with the rest of his father's family resided some time in Toronto. They moved to Euphrasia 47 years ago. Two years later Christopher was married to Mary Grier, who survives him and who has been to him a faithful partner in life. Deceased belonged to the English church. He was conservative in politics. He was a successful farmer and leaves his family in good circumstances. The funeral took place today—Friday—to St. James' cemetery, Euphrasia, where the remains will be interred in the family plot.

Canadian Soo Suicide
Frank W. Brown Shoots Himself Through the Heart.
F. W. Brown, town and township collector of Sault Ste. Marie, Ont. committed suicide by shooting himself through the heart, shortly after 6 o'clock Wednesday night, in his office on Queen street.

It was decided not to hold any inquest and the body was taken to the home of the deceased. Just what caused Mr. Brown to commit the rash act is a mystery to his friends, as he seemed in his usual happy mood all day Wednesday. He was a sober and industrious man, Mr. Brown's honesty was never questioned. He had lived in the Canadian Soo for many years and was 33 years old. He was the son of Customs Inspector Brown and leaves a widow and three children. The funeral was held yesterday afternoon.

"Grandma Seaman" as she was familiarly called, has crossed the dark river from which there is no return---- We say Grandma Seaman, because she was called grandma by grandchildren, great grandchildren and friends and seemed like one to all children. The funeral was held at the M. E. church on Thursday, March 5, and was conducted by Revs. G.D. Strickland, of Drummond and T. R. Easterday, of the Soo.

She was laid to rest by the side of her husband Murray Seaman, in a lovely spot selected by him before his death, 33 years ago. Grandma Seaman was not a christian in the later years of her life, but she did not die in great agony of mind, being a great lover of life and it's joys, she had a dread of entering the dark unknown. Even when she was a christian and church member she did not believe in the endless punishment taught, but thought there would be a heaven for all, so why should she fear. She leaves 10 children to mourn her loss-five sons and five daughters. All were present at the funeral except two daughters, Mrs. Ludow Hill, of Wonecoe, Wis., and Mrs. J. D. Hill, of Chicago.

Death of James Taylor
Another Old Resident of the Soo Goes th His Reward
James Taylor died at his home on Cedar Street on Easter morning, in his eightieth year. The deceased was born in Dublin, Ireland and was the son of Richard Taylor, who, with his wife, died while Mr. Taylor was a youth.

There were seven of them, four brothers, Edmund, Robert, William and James, and three sisters, Anna, Gertrude and Mary. James was educated in the city of his birth, graduating from Trinity college at the early age of twenty. Shortly after this he came to America and began a successful seafaring life, rising quickly to the command of a merchant ship. He sailed for 20 years, making voyages to most every southern port of the old and new world. At the same time his older brother Edmund was master of an East India merchant ship. When the roving disposition was satisfied he came to this village and having accumulated some money he engaged in business, building what was for many years the best store on Water street. About three years thereafter he quietly settled down on a farm by the riverside not far from Garden River, but on the Amercian side. Here he married a wife and reared a family and lived happily for several years.----
There was born to Mr. and Mrs. Taylor five children, three daughters all of whom are living, and two sons, who did not survive their infancy. One daughter is married and there are five grandchildren living and one with the angels. -----
The funeral was conducted at the Presbyterian Church by the pastor Rev. C. P. Bates at 2p.m. Tuesday----- Many friends followed the remains to Riverside. —

The doctor had about three weeks been suffering from an internal trouble for which he had been taking occasional doses of aromatic spirit of amonia with a few drops of chlordyne.------- no sooner had he swallowed the fatal dose than he discovered his mistake. He said "My God", what have I done and called upon the assistant, Mr. Blaine, for an emetic which was immediately presented to him, but, to late, as the throat had closed. He went out to the sidewalk and sat down on the edge of it, where he died a few minutes later in the arms of his faithful attendant, Richard Pringle.----------------- The remains were accompanied to the late doctor's home at Clarksburg, near Meaford, where he was finally interred yesterday, by his sorrowing mother Mrs. George Hunter ------
