Death of Wm. j. Stafford.


The following account Of the death Of
VIM. j. Stafford, formerly of this city,
is taken from the daily Mining Journal
of Marquette, Michigan. In its issue of
March 20 that paper says as follows
VIM. Stafford, roadmaster of the Mar
quette- Calumet division of the South
Shore line, died very suddenly last even
ing shortly after six o'clock. The de-
mise was the result of an affusion of
blood into the brain.
Mr.. Stafford had just left down town
and, apparently in the best of health,
was on his way home for supper, walk
ing up Front street. When close to
Fraternity hall he was suddenly over
come and, falling, struck the sidewalk
heavily, face down.
Messrs. Arthur Palmer, Arthur Pow
ell, Wesley Hall, Francis and others
near at hand rushed to the spot. 1t
was at once seen that the attack was
serious, and the stricken man was car
ried to the Clifton hotel and placed in
the reading room. Dr. Youngquist had in
the meantime been notified by telephone
and responded Immediately, but on his
arrival he found that Mr.. Stafford was
dead. The body was later removed to
the bereaved home on East Arch street.
So sudden was the taking off of Mr..
Stafford and so well and favorably
known was the victim of the attack
that as the news of the sad occurrence
rapidly spread it caused a shock deep in
intensity in all quarters of the city. To
the stricken wife and children, the
shock was terrible one despite that the
news had been broken gently and sympa-
thizers were there to lend comfort and
soften us much as they could the effect
of the announcement that husband and
father was no more. Sincere and deep
sympathy will universally be extended
the family. t
Mr. Stafford was born near Dubuque,
Ia, forty-two years ago. He came
here from the Fremont, Elkhorn & Mis-
souri, valley, branch of the Northwest
ern system, about ten years ago, to
take the responsible position of road
master which he had ever since so capa-
bly, filed, the position being similar to
the one he held in Nebraska. He had
supervision of the South Shore tracks
between Marquette and Houghton and
also those of the Mineral Range line,
and his ability was held in high esteem
by the general manager and the super
intendenU and by railroad men generally.
Mr.. Stafford was a valuable official and
one whose place will be hard to fill.
The deceased is survived by his wife
and three daughters-Marie, Lillian
and Loretta-three brothers and two
sisters. The latter reside at Independ-
ence, la. two of the brothers make
their home at Norfolk, Neb and the
third is Patrick II. Stafford of this city,
who al'o is "A roadmaster on the South
Shore, having supervision on the Macki-
nav division.
Mr.. Stafford enjoyed very extended
acquaintance, not only in this city, bat
along the South Shore line. He was a
good citizen, was held in high esteem
by all who knew him and regret he is
no more will be deep and general.
