Abram Hopper.

Last winter Mr.. Hopper left town
on a business trip to Florida, and at
ter transacting his business there, he
proceeded to Atchison, Kansas, where
he was taken sick. He was cared for
by his brotherin-law, Joseph Parks,
who formerly resided at this city. At
first it was thought that he would re-
cover, but the hope was vain, and his
death occurred on the 9Th of the pres
cnt month. Mrs. Hopper had been
telegraphed for previous to his death
and at once proceeded to him, to rem
der what help and consolation was in
her power.
On Saturday morning last the re-
mains of the deceased were brought
to town by steamer Arundel, being
accompanied by Mrs. Hopper, Artie
Hopper, Mr.. and Mrs. j. Parks, and
by S. l.. Carpenter, who represented
the Knights Templar commandry, tc
which the deceased had belonged. a
delegation of the commandry was
at the wharf when the steamer arriv.
ed and took charge of the body.
The funeral took place at two
o'clock Sunday afternoon, and the at
tendance of citizens was very large
The services were held in the Congre'
gational church, Rev. j. A. Mock Of
ficiating. The church was unable tC
hold all the citizens who had come tc
show their respects to the deceased
and hundreds of persons were oblig
ed to remain out doors. The services
were very impressive.
After the services at the church
the funeral procession was formed OIL
Washington avenue. The knights
Templar, in full uniform, took the
advance, and numbered about thirty
swords. Then came the members Of
the +. aud A. NJ, about sixty in mum.
Der, after which came the hearse at
tended by the pail bearers Z. X. Pot
ter, a. w. Comstock, Alex. McDon
aid, II. j. Eaton, c. w. Richardson
and G. J.. Kimball. Then came the
mourners and friends in carriages
At the time the procession passed the
church, there were iifty-sevcn car
riages in line, and by the time the
cemetery had been reached there were
about seventy carriages in the process
sion.
Mr.. Hopper was one of the first
pioneers of Alpena. He arrived al
Alpena in the latter part of Novcm
Der, 1853, in the schooner j. S. MirNr
With him were +. X. Potter, Samue
Boggs, and some twenty-five persons
AN enormous immigration to Alpc
ma at that time. In describing The
place to the writer as it appeared a
that time, Mr.. Hopper said that th'
first building he noticed was the stor,
of Miller, Fletcher & Co, two storie
in height, which occupied part of th'
location where is now the johnson
brick block, That building had jus
received new coat of paint whicl
caused it to loom up prominent,

amid the surrounding wilderness.
Close by it was a small frame house
and little further from the river was
another small building, and these
three, together with a cooper shop,
and log hut, constituted all the build
ings in that part of the city south of
Thunder Bay river. The north side
of the river boosted Of only one shan
ty, and thus six buildings comprised
all the city of Alpena, or as it was
then called, the village of Fremont.
The land north of Second street was
occupied by burnt slashing.
Such was the condition of this town
when Mr.. Hopper first became resi-
dent, and he remained a citizen from
that time to his death. He has been
actively associated with the growth
of the city and has seen the place
grow from six houses until it possessed
some eight thousand inhabitants.
He has seen the burnt and desolate
looking slashings replaced by brick
blocks, mills, and handsome dwelling
houses, and has taken an important
part in promoting the growth and
prosperity of Alpena.
Mr.. Hopper was born in New York
State, was AZ years old at the time Of
his death, and was miller by trade
He held the Office of Register Of
Deeds for several years was the first
Recorder of the city of Alpena was
County Treasurer, and at the time OF
his death was one of the Superinten
dents of the Poor. He has also been
engaged in various business enterpris.
es. In 1860 he married Miss Eliza,
beth Ross, sister of Mrs. j. B. futile
and some time after her death, HI
married Miss Park, who survives him.

clothing store, and by the first of the
coming week will be ready to wait
upon any who may be in need of hi;
services. The South Bend Indiana
Tribune says:
DR.. Charles A. Gallagher, of this
city, has gone to Alpena, Michigan
to locate and practice dentistry. The
Tribune regrets to see DR.. Gallagher
leave this city of his birth where he
has so many friends, and where he
could have built up lucrative prac
tice in short time, either as a dentist
or as a physician, for he is a graduate
Of Rush Medical College, of Chicago
as well as from the dentist department
at Ann Arbor. He has been close
student all his life, is young man o.
unexceptionable morals, and will be
an honor to the professional and so
ciety circles of Alpena. His hundreds
of friends here hope for his fullest
success in his chosen home, in our sis
ter State.

Communication.

A week ago last Sunday Mrs.
Christ Humber gave birth to three
little girls. Their united weight was
twenty-three pounds-one weighing
eight pounds and the other two weigh
ed seven and one.half pounds each.
This is the third case of triplets which
has occurred in this county this year
In the two former cases the triplets
did not live long after birth, but those
of Mrs. Humber are doing well. Re-
garding this case, the following com,
munication will speak for itself:
Mr.. EDITOR Will you please say
to the ladies of Alpena that that poor
woman who presented her husband
with three living children Sunday be-
fore last is in very delicate health
and also in very poor circumstances
and that there is great danger of the
new addition being taken away if there
is not something done to ensure then
proper care, comfort and food. TC
my knowledge the mother has been il
very poor health for a number O.
years the father also is in very pool
health, so that their means are very
scanty indeed Judging from my pas
experience Of the generosity of the la
dies of Alpena, and tho promptnes'
with which they always respond whel
suitable occasion presents itself,
feel justified in saying that if the cir
cumstances Of this case are only
brought to their notice, there will b,
no need of further anxiety on accoun
of the three little strangers. Food
clothing and a suitable nurse will sooI
be forthcoming.
Yours respectfully,
DR.. WILKINSON

The steamer City of Cleveland fail
ed to arrived in this port last We'd
nesday night, on her down trip. Her
officials say that the reason was that
the weather was too boisterous and
the sea too rough. This is the first
time we have heard of a boat being
unable to run into Thunder Bay dur
ing storm. That night the waters
in the bay were not very rough, and
few hours after the City of Cleve-
land passed the Bay, the steamer
Pearl arrived in port from Detroit
having crossed Saginaw Bay that
night. The mail steamer Arundel
also arrived early in the morning
which would seem to indicate that the
City of Cleveland could have got to
this port that night, if her officials
had so desired. The steamer Pear
made all her landings and got to this
port on regular time. 1t is the first
time since the City of Cleveland got
on the route that she missed making
her regular landings.
