YALE St. Clair County Mich. FRIDAY FEBRUARY H. 1898
JOHN WARK DEAD.
Passed Peacefully Away at his Home In
Yale Yesterday.

John Wark, a long and we'll known
resident of Speaker township, died AT
his home in Yale, Thursday. February
10th, after long and tedious struggle
with liver and kidney trouble. Mr.
Wark was born in Jedbourough, Scot
land, in August 1884. Emigrated with
his parents to Canada in 1851, settling
in Caradoc township. He was married
to Jane Ireland in 1857, and soon after
his marriage emigrated to Michigan
and settled OH the farm in Speaker
which he cleared up out of wilder
ness condition, and where he has since
resided until about year ago. when he
quit farming. and took up his residence
in Yale naturally expecting to live and
enjoy the fruits of his well earned toll
while engaged in farming.
Mr. Wark had many of the qualities
peculiar to the nation from whence he
sprung, one of them was rugged hon
esty and integrity in all his dealings
with his fellow men, his word was as
good as his bond. He was an ardent
republican and served his township as
supervisor for several terms.
He has been connected in some Of
fetal capacity with the Yale Agricul
turial Association since its organiZa-
tion sixteen years ago, and to his untir-
ing energy and zeal in carrying out the
details of the work in that connection
is largely due whatever success the
society has had since it's existence.
In his youth he was educated and
brought up in the doctrines of the
Presbyterian faith, TO which belief he
held until the time Of his death.
Mr.. Wark joined the Masonic fra
ternity in 1881 and served several years
as w. NJ, presiding over that body with
much ability, and he has also served
as secretary for several years, in which
capacity he has been noted for his
methodical, pains taking care of the
records and duties of that Office In
this connection it might be said, and
Justly, that for faithful attendance
during his connection with the lodge
none could surpass him, he was always
at his post, rain, snow, or storm. and
when his seat was vacant every brother
knew Brother Wark was either sick or
away from home.
He leaves wife and six children
Mrs. n. Downey, of Brown City; Mrs.
Award. of Detroit; William, John.
Andrew and Thomas. of Speaker.
The funeral services will be under
the charge of his brother MasOns and
will be held at the NJ Z. church on
Sunday at O'clock. Rev. j. A. Rowe
will preach the sermon.

Electric R,ttter-.

Electric Bitters is q medicine suited
for any season, but perhaps more gen.
orally needed, when the languid ex.
hausted feeling prevails, when the liver
is torpid and sluggish and the need Of
a tonic and Alternative is felt. A prompt
use of this medicine has often averted
long and perhaps fatal bilious fevers.
No medicine will act more surely in
counteracting and freeing the system
from the malarial poison. Headache,
Indigestion, Constipation, Dizziness
yield to Electric Bitters. SOC and Sl.0O
