The Owosso times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1897-1926, 1899-05-19

In politics the Doctor always took an
active interest and stood for what he
considered the right, allowing no man
to dictate to his conscience. He was
prominently connected with the in
corporation of Laingsburg, and had no
small influence throughout the county
In 1869-70 he was a member of the
state house of representatives. In
Masonic circles he was also prominent.
He was member of Owosso Lodge
No. 81 F. and A. NJ, and afterwards
became a charter member of Laings-
burg Lodge No. $50, serving as its
Worshipful Master continuously, except
for one year, from 1868 to $780, Later
he returned 10 the Owosso lodge, of
which he was member when be died.
He was member of the Michigan
State Medical Society from the date of
its organization and was also member
of the American Medical Association.
Finely, educated, and endowed with
keen literary tastes, his mind had to
have some other outlet in which to free
itself besides the practice of his profess
sion and his experience in politics
College educated men were scarce in
Shiawassee in those days and the doc
tor found in his books and alone with his
paper and pen the only solace for many
an otherwise wasted and dreary hour.
To him writing was a pleasure, not a
task, and he became known all over the
state for his short poems, his humorous
creations, abounding in droll wit and
his keen, sarcastic political thrusts
To this day there are those who be-
lieve in the reality of "Old Man Wealth
erwax," his wife and their boy "John-
n.y." while it is but a few months since
The TINES published the last of the
political articles contributed by him for
its pages. AS to his shorter poems one
may judge from the accompanying
poem written by him in 1892 Perhaps
nothing from all his writings could be
quoted with greater propriety at this
time.
Besides his widow, DR.. Ward leaves
a son, DR.. W. E. Ward, of Owosso, and
daughter, Miss Josephine Ward, OF
Laingsburg. The funeral services were
held at the family residence in Laings.
burg Monday morning, after which the
body was brought to Owosso and taken
under the auspices of the Masonic So
ciety to Oakhill cemetery where with
solemn and beautiful service the body
was placed in the vault to await in,
terment.
Thus there has come the closing
chapter in the life of one who, tho
seemingly gone from his associates
never to return, will yet be honored by
having the good which his influence has
wrought into the lives of those about
him lived over and over thus keeping
his own life still active for the good
among us. AS truly typical doctor
of the Old SCHOOL, as Ian MacLaren's
hero of the Dumtochty heaths has
passed away from us. but his life with
all its influences for the good still live;
on in the souls of his friends.
The following stanza is from the
Doctors works. 1t needs no comment
Grant me, dear Lord, the art sublime
To soothe the wretched stop the pain
OF weary hearts and make the turn
Today, for joys to come again.
Then at life's close, devoid of fear,
I'll lay me down without one care
Whether the waking finds here
Or in that other country where
Tomorrow never comes.
The Owosso times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1897-1926, 1899-05-19
Once a Year

If man owns fine watch, he Is
particular to keep it in fine order. He
wants 1t to keep accurate time for years
to come. He is anxious to protect it
from injury and to have every part
work with delicate precision. If he is
sensible he selects a skillful matchmaker
and leaves the care of the watch to him.
At least once year he has him make a
careful inspection of it. He does not
wait until something breaks or the
watch stops, but has it examined often
to avoid such injuries. 1 wonder why
some people are not just as particular
about their eyes. No watch in the world
has such delicate mechanism. The fin
est chronometer never worked with
such exact precision. II the eyes could
be carefully examined once a year a
great deal of permanent injury could
be averted. l will gladly do this for
anyone at any time, without charge.
By discovering and correcting slight de-
fects in time, the necessity of wearing
glasses constantly my be avoided.

LECTURE ON LITERATURE.
DR.. Spaulding, Of the Catholic
University, Delight Those
Who Hear Him.

On Wednesday afternoon and
evening, the pupils and sisters
of the Academy of Visitation
and the priests and students of
the Novitiate, this city, enjoyed,
with few invited friends, a fine
feast of high minded and in
tellectual criticisms of the great
literary lights, Oliver Wendell
Holmes and Nathaniel Haw-
thorne. The lecturer was DIR.
Spaulding, of Massachusetts,
who occupies a chair in the Cath
olic' University at Washington,
andsswho is now engaged in Civ
ing a course of lectures on liter.
ary subjects at the different Cath.
Ollie institutions throughout the
country. Dir. Spaulding was most
happy in the selection of his ma
terial and effective and intensely
interesting in his treatment of it.
He talked from notes but that
fact did not intrude itself upon
the minds of those who followed
the words of the little, gray head.
ed man who told more about the
lives and works of Holmes, and
Hawthorne than even the most
intimate readers could have
learned by years of careful study.
Such lectures as these are of es.
pecial interest and and give in.
formation that serves valuable
purposes in future discussions
in future discussions in literary or
social intercourse. A series of fsuch
lectures would certainly be ap.
preciated by the general public
and receive their full and hearty
support and co operation.
