Early this morning dispatch was re-
ceived by DR.. Pomeroy from r. b. Ware
ham stating that Alfred b. Wareham
died last evening at $50 o'clock. The
news was received here with profound
feelings of sadness, and everywhere about
the city where the fact OF his death was
known expressions of sorrow and deep
regret were heard.
Last October the deceased was at
tackled with typhoid fever, and it is prob
able that the after effects of this disease
caused his death. After recovering from
the disease, he resumed his occupation.
but had not been in perfect health since.
About five weeks ago he left for the
south, thinking a change of scenery and
warmer climate would entirely rid him
of the trouble. However, he grew worse
instead of better, and his brother, C. NJ
Wareham, left about a week ago TO re-
turn home with him. Word was received
from him that his brother was gradually
getting worse, and the deceased's wife,
father and brother-in-law (Mr. William
Anderson) left Friday last for Chicago,
fearing the worse, and their fears were
realized last evening. When they reached
Chicago, the deceased was in the Presby-
terrain hospital and under the charge OF
the physicians there. A telegram was
received early last evening saying that
he was failing fast and another this
morning that the end had come.
The deceased was born at the Mesnard
mine, near Franklin, in 1866. and was
therefore 20 years Of age. He spent
nearly his entire life at Calumet, serving
an apprenticeship in the machine shop.
From here he entered the Calumet and
Hecle mechanical and draughting Office,
and In the fall of 1887 he went TO Lake
Linden, where be worked with Supt.
i. G. Coggin, from where he went 10
Great Falls, Mont, where he was en-
ployed with Mr.. Woodbury.. He did not
remain there long, but returned TO Lake
Linden. He was transferred 10 the Calu-
met Office in November OF 1890, and had
been employed here since that time. He
was married three years next July TO
Miss Mary Anderson, whom he leaves
with one child, bright baby boy.
He had all through his life taken
wonderful interest in military life, and
had served first "a n private, then a.
non-commissioned officer. and finally
second and first lieutenant in the Calu-
met Light Guard, where he always made
his best efforts feel for the interests of
the company. He has taken great inter
est in the boys brigade movement, and
was lieutenant in Company b, of Calu-
met. He has been connected with the
Calumet Congregational church and
Sunday school for some time. and was
always active in christian work. The de-
ceased was member OF Lake Linden
Lodge, F. & A. NJ, and of the Montrose
Commandery, and the latter organiza-
ton will probably have charge OF the
funeral. The Calumet Light Guard Vet
eran Corps, OF which the deceased was a
member, and the Light Guard will prob
ably turn out TO the funeral.
II is not known when the remains will
arrive, and hence no funeral arrange
ments have been made.
