Death of William CranwelI.

The TIMES is panied to record the
death of another early settler. Mr.
William Cranwell. a prominent and
worthy citizen of Superior for more
than forty years. departed this life on
Monday morning the 2lst inst. at St.
Francis Hospital in this city. aged y
years.
Born in Wexford County, ireland, he
came to America when a young man,
and, after short sojourns in st. Paul and
other places, arrived in Superior in
1856, where he since resided contnu-
ously up to the day of his death. His
parents were well-to do people in Ire
land, and the excellent education they
gave him, coupled with his natural
abilities, fitted BIN admirably for the
various business pursuits in which he
was engaged. As an accountant, cores
pondent, and methodIcal business man
few were his equals. During his res
idence here he was mainly engaged
in the buying and selling and manag-
ing of real estate and pine lands, and
in making investments for non-resi-
dents. but found time In the sixties and
seventies to hold several offices of pub
lie trust, to-wit, register of deeds, town
clerk, supervisor. assessor several
terms, and school director. He was
treas urer and paymaster of the old
Copper Creek Mining Company during
its operations in 1868 to 1866, disbursing
during that time for the company, with
fidelity and without bond, more than
$50, 900.
Mr.. Cranwell was possessed of con-
siderable money ap1 property at ore
time, but owing to the depressions of
recent years, some losses, high taxes
and his inability to cope with the world
through impaired health ard advanc-
ing age, he left but little property at
the time of his death. He never mar
RED, and had no relatives in this part
of the country. A brother resides in
Illinois, sister IN St. Louis, Mo-, and
another sister in Montreal, Canada.
He was buried on Wednesday after

vices in the Church Of the Redeemer,
Episcopal, and also at the grave, hv
Rev. {. IL. II. Bloor, the rector. The
church was well filled by the friends of
the deceased including many of the old
settlers of Superior and Duluth who
sorrowfullv followed the remains of
their old friend to their last earthly
resting place. Tie pail bearers were
}. +. BishoF. James Bardon, August
Zachau, Thomas Clarity, r. B. Mclean
and NJ. S. Bright.
Mr.. Cranwell was man highly
respected; he had many warm personal
friends, and his death is widely and
deeply regretted.
