heaps where rsny OF the helpless victims had been all
consumed. while men went about In wild excitement,
seeking some trace Of lost one among The wounded

De0tb of n Pioneer.

It is with the most sincere re-
gret that we this week make the
announcement of the death of Hon,
Obed Smith of this city, which &C
Cured at his residence on Monday
morning, Nov. Goth. 1876. Aged
so years.
Mr.. Smith was one of the carly
settlers OF Alpena,-having arrived
here in 1S59-and has ever taken
an active part tending to the gen.
eral prosperity Of this city and
county. In the year 1859, in COM
pany with Mr.. Chamberlain, Mr..
Smith erected the first steam saw
mill built in Alpena, and has since
been identified with many Of Alpe-
mas enterprises and improvements,
among which might be mentioned
the Hemlock Extract Factory,
which was afterward destroyed by
by fire. The deceased was the
builder OF the first bridge that con-
nected Dock and Second street
many years ago.
The deceased was one OF our
leading and prominent citizens
during the time of his stay among
us, and at the time of his death was
Judge Of Probate Of this county
But his work is done; his joys
sorrows and trials Of this earth are
forever past, and his spirit now
rests in peace with its Maker.
The deceased was member Of
the Masonic fraternity, and thu
funeral will take place at 2 o'clock
to-day, the members Of the order
escorting the remains to their las
resting place. Funeral from TIT
Congregational Church.
