Change IN Manufacturing Firm.

Ex-Mayor f. A Gould sold the ham
die factory Tuesday to EX-Alderman
Geo A. Perrigo, of this city. Mr..
Perrigo's son, Hayes, is associated with
him in the purchase and the two took
possession on the same day that the sale
was made. The younger member of
the new firm is good mechanic and
has worked in the factory for the last
eight years so that he has good
knowledge of the business Mr.. Peril
go, who was for several years the rep
resentative of the Groton Bridge Com
pany in this city,is also good mechanic
and machinist and will have general
charge of the Office and business
management while his son will have
direct supervision of the shop. The
old firm name which Mr. Gould had re-
tanned during his control of the bust
ness, M. Wood & Co., will still be re-
tanned. There seems to be no reason
why the new firm should not be as sue
cessful as the rest have been. The firm
manufactures standard grade of
handles for axes, picks, hammers and
other tools and has big trade.

Death of Frank @. Smith.

For the second time within a few
weeks Owosso citizens have been ca led
on to mourn the sudden loss of one of
the most respe cted and best liked bui-
ness men of the city. Few people re.
allied that Frank G.. Smith, of the firm
Of Knapp Il Smith, was seriously sick
until the first of the week and then they
had had hard y time 10 realize it before
the announcement came with sudden
shock on Tuesday morning that he was
dead. His sickness had extended over
period of about two weeks, having be
gun with an attack of grip which left
him in complete state of exhaustion
from which he was unable to rally A
relapse set in and he died about two
O'Clock Tuesday morning.
The funeral services were held yester.

Frank G.. Smith was born in Kendall,
Orleans County. New York, September
10. 1910, coming to Michigan with his
parents five years later and to the town.
ship of Rush, Shiawassee county, when
but six years of age. Since that time
he has always been a resident of the
county, living either in that township
or in Owosso. For the last twelve years
he has been associated with Mr.. M. H.
Knapp in this city, IN the furniture and
undertaking business and has assisted in
building up a fine business IN those
lines. He was married twenty. seven
years ago to Miss Thelia Goodale. who
with the two children born to them,
Fred, who resides in Rush, and Miss
Mae, at home in this city, now survive
him. His mother. Mrs. Major Smith
and two sisters, Mrs. Whited and Mrs.
Elmer Howe, also survive him.
Mr.. Smith was one of the most genial
of the business men of the city aud
made friends on every side. In his re-
lations to the societies to which he he
longed he was also greatly liked. He
had been a member of the Masonic Blue
Lodge for number of years and had
expected to take his last degree in the
chapter two weeks ago when sickness
prevented. He will be missed by both
business men and others with whom he
has been associated while the sympathy
of the entire community is extended to
the afflicted family.

The Easter Cantata, Death and Life,
which will be given in the COngrega'
tional church next Sunday evening, was
written by Harry Rowe Shelley whose
name Is familiar to the musical people
of Owosso. Our church congregations
have enjoyed many of his compositions,
notably, The King of Love, Hark, Hark
my Soul, and others. Mr. Shelley is
thoroughly American. He was born in
1858 in New Haven, Conn, where he
commenced his studies at Yale. Later
he spent seventeen.years with Dudley
Buck, Max Vogrich and AntOnin
Dvorak in New York. He is at present
in charge of theory and composition
classes In Metropolitan College of Music,
in New York. He could not perhaps
be classed among Americas greatest
composers but is certainly one of the
most popular.
Death and Life is one of his later
works and must still further endear his
name to lovers of sacred musical com.
position. 1t Is intensely dramatic from
the first measure and shows deep re.
ligious feeling in the composer. The
opening chorus wildly portrays the
fury of the Jewish mob In their frantic
cries "Crucify Him" and many Incl.
dents connected with the crucifixiOn
and burial of our Lord are clearly
pictured by the entire chorus. The sor
row of the weeping world, the coming
of Mary Magdalene to the sepulchre,
and the resurrection are depicted by the
soloists and the rejoicing over the resur.
rection Is given by the chorus. The
choir and director gratefully acknow-
ledge the assistance Of several musical
friends in presenting this cantata.
