FRANK VIVIAN.
An old settler is gone. One of the best men
that ever made a home in the Wisconsin lead
mines is gone Many family enjoying the COM
forts of home and the luxuries of life would
have been poor and homeless but for Frank
Vivian. He came to the country away back in
1881. As a Smelter he commanded the yeneration
and respect of the entire mining community,
His justice, uprightness and fair dealing were
universally acknowledged. As smelter, a mer-
chant and a farmer he was all that could be q =
sired of a hiSh minded, noble man He died at
at the ripe age of eighty-three, leaving family
of children 10 mourn his loss, His beloved and
highly respected son-in-law James Toay pre-

They were in life singularly alike. Neither had
an enemy; neither ever turned slightingly from
the calls of charity; neither in their condem-
dation of the false and the wrong forgot the
bat iii
that lenity that alone renders civilized life more
tolerable than that of the savage.
Poor old Frank. Noble old Frank! Good old
Frank! His place will never be filed in this
country; and in the next we believe that he will
find that mercy which was so distinguishing a
trait of his noble character while here.
