He commenced his business life as a
poor boy, but by close attention to
business, by unceasing labor and by
careful management, he rose from
poverty to become the richest citizen
of Alpena. What his wealth really
is. we are not able to state, but is gen.
orally believed to be at least $1,000
900. Besides his lumber business, he
had a large interest in vessel property.
1t is not yet known what disposal he
made Of his wealth, but is believed to
have made will. Mr.. Richardson
had no children. He had an adopted
daughter, Mrs. DIR. Newton. With
the men in his employ, Mr.. Richard
son had but very little trouble as far
as we know. He paid good wages,
kept good men around him and paid
cash. His life has been one of un-
ceasing labor with few pleasure re-
laxations, and about the only amuse-
ment he took part in was in his trot-
ing horses.
In politics Mayor Richardson was
an ardent and sincere Democrat, hut
had few aspirations for Office. We do
not believe there was happier
Democrat in Alpena county when the
news became known in November,
1884, that Democrat president had
been elected.
In 1874 the Democrats of Alpena
city nominated Mr.. Richardson as
their candidate for Mayor. His OPP
ponent was Geo. L. Maltz. Mr..
Richardson received 36S votes, and
Mr.. Maltz 401 Last April the
Fusionists nominated Mr.. Richardson
for Mayor and he received a majority
of 785-the total vote cast for the
Office of Mayor being 1s659.
On the receipt ofsthc news last Fri
day, flags were displayed at half mast
from the various flag stats and on
the Alpena vessels and tugs.
The funeral takes place tomorrow
afternoon at 2 o'clock, and will be in
charge of Masonic order.

Death of Mayor Richardson.

On Monday, the 14th, Mayor
Charles w. Richardson, accompanied
by Mrs. Richardson and some friends,
left by steamer City of Mackinac, be-
ing ON visit to relatives and friends
at Pittsfeld, Maine. Shortly after
his arrival at Pittsfeld, Mayor Rich
ardson was taken sick and on Friday,
the 18th, he died. The sad news was
telegraphed to this city, and soon be-
came known through the city, caus-
ing general regret. On Saturday
morning, his adopted daughter, Mrs.
DR.. Newton, accompanied by her hus-
band, left by mail steamer, for Pitts
field, to render what assistance they
could in bringing the remains to this
city, and attending to Mrs. Richardson.
AS soon as possible the sorrow-strick-
en- party started on their return to
Alpena, and arrived here last night
by steamer City of Alpena.
The remains were taken in charge
by committee of the Masonic lodge
and conveyed to his late residence,
followed by Mrs. Richardson, DR.. and
Mrs. Newton, relatives, friends and
the Common Council. There was an
immense crowd present on the wharf
Mayor Richardson was born in
Maine, 1928, and was So years of age
at the time of his death. He was one
of the pioneers of Alpena, arriving in
1864. In 1870 he leased the Oldfeld
mill, running it until 1871, when in
company with Avery and Murphy, he
purchased the mill. The firm was
known as Richardson, Avery 81 Co.
Five years later the firm dissolved
partnership and Mr.. Richardson then
purchased the entire mill property
and has retained possession from then
to the present. The mill is one of
the largest in town and manufactures
some 100000 feet of lumber per
year. Near his lumber mill, he, some
years ago, built single mill, which
manufactures about 5000, 900 shingles
per year. Both mills are run by
water power. When the Alpena
National bank was organized in 1884.
Mr.. Richardson became stock holder,
and at the time of his death was Woe,
president Of the bank.

Strawberries.

Our people love strawberry short
cake and strawberries and cream are
q stock solution at church social
at this season of the year. Nearly
every one is fond of strawberries, and
the consequence is that large guam
titles are needed. The first shipments
brought in are from away down south,
then from the Central States, then
from the southern part of Michigan,
and last comes the home crop. Prices
are high at first but soon drop to 25
cents per quart, and then competi-
ton forces prices down below the cost
of the berries. The price this year
has been as low as six and eight cents
per quart, and the berries were
brought several hundred miles by rail
and steamer. The berries were mostly
sent here by commission dealers.
BY the Bay City steamers, straw
berries were brought to town last week
as follows:

On looking over Alpena the other
day we found her poisoning into one
of the most beautiful cities to be
found anywhere in the State. A few
years ago it was generally considered
that Alpena was barren sandy waste
where nothing would grow, but her
now beautifully shaded avenues and
fine gardens give the lie to this old
idea. Really, the streets and gardens
of greater portion of Alpena are
beautiful to look upon, showing a
great improvement since three years
when our home was there. Au Sable
and Oscoda may not have quite as
fertile soil as Alpena, but the efforts
that have been made to raise shade
trees have borne good results and we
hope in the future to see interest in
these things develop rapidly.-Osco-
da Monitor.
