Death Of Mrs. Geo. OR. Black.


family residence, the people Of Owosso lose
lady who has for years been regarded as
one of the leaders In all good work. Her
genial greeting and pleasant words will be
sadly missed by those who have met her
daily. The suddenness of her death, en-
tirely unexpected, came as shock to our
citizens Mrs. Black had not been well for
long time and for year past had taken
treatment at several sanitariums, returning
home less than three weeks ago from one OF
them, In improved health. On Saturday an
attack of grippe compelled her to give up
and remain in bed. yet her condition was not
considered serious until Tuesday morning,
when she began to fail quite rapidly and at
six o'clock her spirit took Its flight to ap
heavenly home.
Her rest from life's labor is well earned.
In church work she was active and useful,
devout member of Christ Episcopal church,
in social life leader; in her home all that
wife and mother could be. Such women
are the blessed of earth. No words OF
praise are needed for Mrs. Black. Her
works tell the story of life well spent.
The family, her husband, son, p. H., and
daughters Mrs. c. K. Wheelock, of Peoria,
ILL.,, and Mrs. p. M. Roth, have the tender
sympathy of their wide circle Of friends in
their loss. Mrs. Black also leaves three
sisters. Mrs. Jas. Rosencrans, living north of
this CITY. and two near Buffalo. Her age
was So years.
The funeral service willsbe held at the
residence this afternoon at two o'clock,
Rev. Sherwood Roosevelt officiating.
Mrs. ID. M. Christian gave tea party to
twenty-five of her lady friends Thursday
afternoon.
A very pleasant dancing party was par
ticipated in by about twenty couples at
Richardson's hall last evening.
Grand Master Davis, Grand Secretary
Whitney, of Lansing, and Grand Warden
Wilder, of Grand Rapids, were in the city
yesterday looking up the ACCESSIBILITY OF
granting dspensatiOn for the organization
of new lodge of Odd Fellows. No decision
was announced.
At the masquerade ball at the Arbeiter
hall Wednesday evening Chas. Salisbury
and r. S. Even carried of the palm as the
worst looking couple, Will Palmer and Mrs.
j. Gayer as the best dressed couple, while
Carrie Palmer and K. s. Punches were the
best looking individuals, Ii. Myers, l..
Marks and t. Mulichill were the judges.
The many friends of A. b. Clark, of
Morrice, will learn with genuine regret that
he has made an assignment to Henry Beck
ley for the benefit of his creditors. Mr..
Clark has been one of the leading business
men OF the southern part of the county, be-
ing engaged in the hardware and furniture
business besides conducting private bank.
1t is said no one will lose dollar by the
failure. We hope Mr.. Clark will be able to
realize on his assets so that he will come
out in better shape than he now anticipates.
Michigan Farmer: Patrick Crosby, of
Byron, sold last week to Walter Wadley
twelve hogs, aggregate weight 3.700 lbs,
age of each six months and SO days. These
pigs were Poland Chinas from the herd of
l.. w. Barnes. of Byron, and sired by Mr..
Barnes stock boar. Mr.. Crosby is good
feeder, a good Judge of stock, and knows
the benefit of good blood when stock is to
be fed. The hogs showed fine quality, and
the weights at the age are really wonderful
Free Press: Rev. T. X. Heddle, the
Highland minister convicted of seduction, is
model convict at Jackson. He IS given
much freedom, and the officials feel much
pity and regard for him. He occupies the
position OF assistant superintendent Of the
Sunday school. He takes no interest in the
efforts Of his friends to have him pardoned
out, although he maintains his innocence,
as do, In fact, many others. His Highland
Station parishioners have raised goodly
sum for the support Of his wife.
There is good reason for the popularity Of
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. Davis &
Buzzard, of West Monterey, Clarion Co.,
Pa, say:"It has cured people whom our
physicians could do nothing for. We per-
suaded them to try bottle Of Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy and they now recon-
mend it with the rest of u.s." so cent bottles
