Memphis Special.


Michael j. Blessing, chief proprietor of
the principal gambling house in this city,
and one of the best known sporting men in
the South. died September Is, in Chicago,
where his family have been spending the
summer. He was 46 years old, and a ma
tive of Altoona, Pa. He came to Memphis
with his parents when q boy, and began
the battle of life on his own account as 4
newsboy. When the war broke out he en-
listed in the Confederate army, entering
the service in Missouri. Being sharp and
audacious youngster and an accomplished
rider he attracted the notice OF General
Ben Mccullough, who made him one of his
couriers. and he was at the side of McCul-
Tough when the latter was killed in the battle
OF Pea Ridge. Later in the day he was
captured by the Federals and brought back
to Memphis. BY this time he had had
enough of fighting and short rations, par
ticularly the latter, and concluded to follow
the ways of peace and profit, so he specu-
lated in cotton and embarked in other ven-
lures. which proved fairly successful. In
1867 he took to gambling, going in with Ed
Greenwood and Bobby GARRISON in The
Bank, which was quite a noted place in
those days. When the partnership was
dissolved Blessing went in with +. Breat-
HIT in the famous Senate, the gambling
house on Jefferson street, when that thor
oughfare was lined with such houses from
the river to Second street. He drew out
with fat stake, and he and Ed Greenwood
then opened the house on Main street,
where they have been located for twelve
years. Blessings estate is worth fully
$500, 900, of which about half is in real prop
arty
