fairly good for the number is below
the average for a city of this size. 1t
has been commented on many times
that there has been very unusually
small amount of sickness thus far this
fall and winter, which we attribute to

SOME LOCAL POLITICS
AS seen and stated by the Detroit
Journal.


1t is a significant fact that, not
withstanding all that has been said
on the subject during the past two
months, State Senator Geo. Il Mich
OILS has never yet announced his with
drawal from the contest. Some of his
close friends intimate that he will be
in the race at the finish, while others
adhere to the belief that he will ask
another term as senator. Should
Nichols desire to withdraw from both
contests it is understood that he will
aim to have Brinton Hall of Belding,
succeed him as senator. Ionia county,
under the arrangement that has long
been in vogue in that district, being
entitled to second term.
Mr. Hall was delegate to the last
Republican national convention, and
it will be remembered that while he
was there one of his legs YVES broken
by the fall of a hotel elevator, in
which he was passenger. 1t is also
odit liidl oNuiIOi 4NiShOlo WOhlo Inv
to have Mr.. Hall succeed him as
chairman of the county committee.
1t need not surprise anyone if Ben
Kitson, another Ionia county polite
ian of no mean ability, reaches out af-
ter some Office this year. In the last
gubernatorial canvass Kitson did val
liant work for D. M. Ferry, carrying
his town against the Stearns forces by
marked majority. Later he was a
candidate for deputy oil inspector,
but had to yield to ex-Sheriff Peet, of
Gratiot. 1t is reported that he has
now lost his old time antipathy for
Stearns and would be glad to labor in
his vineyard this year Time brings
many changes now and then.

HENRIETTA E. YOUNGER.
Was the Frst White Woman to sleep
in Town of Ronald.


Henrietta E. Younger, who was laid
to rest last Friday in Highland p ark
cemetery, was one of the few remain
ing pioneers who enjoyed the distinc-
tion of being among the first settlers
of Ionia county.
She came to Ionia in 1886, when
there were only three houses here,
and went with her husband to Ronald
being the first white woman to sleep
in that township 1t was one of the
joys of her life for this good old wo-
man TO relate the experience of her
pioneer days of mingled hardships
and happiness in the times when the
Indians were her neighbors. During
her first nights in Ronald she had to
sleep under wagon boxes, until her
husband could build house for their
occupancy.
Mrs. Younger was born in 1915, in
New York state, where she married
George A. Younger, native of Scot
land. They came to Ionia in 1896.
The husband died in 1859 on the farm
they settled, and her last days were
spent on the farm adjoining. Her
maiden name was Henrietta Eliza beth
Ellison. There were born to Mr.. and
Mrs Younger six children. The eld-
est, Jane died years ago, Harry is
now a resident of Belding, Charles f..
and William f lived on the farm.
