been resident of South Haven for the
past two years, and had been in busi-

year past. He had won a large circle
of friends among the good people of
that place who will join with his many
Paw Paw friends in sorrow for his iin-
timely death. His mother was tele-
graphed for, but, unfortunately, owing
to annoying delay in delivering the
dispatch and the breaking down of the
train, she did not reach here until after
his death of which she was ignorant
until she drove up and saw the Grape on
the door. Funeral exercises were held
at the house last Wednesday, Rev's.
