BISHOP WILLIAMS OF MAR

THE PORTRAIT OF HIS
ANCESTORS.
SAYS a washington dispatch:

Says q Washington dispatch:
After search Of more than a month
of art galleries art stores. seconds
hand antique and curiosity shops
Bishop G, Mott Williams of the Epis-
copal diocese of Marquette. Mich. who
is wintering in Washington with his
wife in an effort 10 recover his health
has at last abandoned hope OF finding
an old family portrait of one of his an
cestors. for which ne offered az liberal
reward IN advertisements requesting
information concerning the where
abouts of the picture.
Hampered by the illness which
forced him TO leave the scene of his Ia
bors in Michigan for the winter. and
impeded by the cold wave and storms
which nave visited Washington Bishop
Williams has zealously followed every
clue and theory which promised to
lead to the recovery of the portrait
and although he has practically given
up the quest he declares that he has
not withdrawn the offer of a reward
to any one who will aid in locating the
picture
The portrait is that Of G. Mott Will
Hams. a famous lawyer, who died in
Detroit in 1855. He was an uncle Of
Bishop Williams.

the upper peninsula are a number from
other states.
This being the height of the trapping
season, the deputy state game war
dens are especially alert to guard
against violations of the law protect
ing beaver. This is n very favorable
time to catch beaver. as the streams

through contributions at different
times, acquired a liking for this pro-

Mr.. lsler was for several years the
sole correspondent for the Marquette
Mining Journal i'm the copper country,
making daily visits to Calumet and the
Portage Lake towns.
About 1900, he resigned his position
with the Mining Journal to enter the
employ Of The Copper Country Even

the Capacity Of city editor. He resigned
in 1904 to become Calumet representa-

sition he held until 1908. He became
connected with The News for a short
period in that year and later was again
associated with the Hancock Journal
OF late he had been giving his entire
attention To his private business
Literary Ability Natural.
Mr. Islers literary ability came to
him naturally his father having been
the author of several meritorious
works on the Lake Superior country
which were Published i'm German as

other towns of the iron country a.

his bicycle.
Rare Photograph Collection.
Mr.. Isler was the possessOr Of one
Of the finest collections of historical
photographs in the upper peninsula
including Views taken many years age
and which could not now be duplicat-
ed. In the early days, he prepared and
sensitized his own photograph plates
something that few photographers OF
the present day are able to do. A few
years ago he supplied the c. & II. H.
brary with complete collection of
views. His knowledge of mining speci
mems Of all kinds has helped in get

tons in this section. he having con-
| tributed largely To the collection at
the Michigan College of Mines, and
others in the copper country.
In Mr. Isers death, the copper
country loses one of it's most sterling
citizens and one whose place will be
hard to fill.

In Business in L'Anse.

In 1862. Mr.. lsler came To Hancock
and for several years was engaged in
the United States mail service, carry
ing the mail ON foot and horseback
from Houghton 10 Eagle HarbOr. a
distance OF about forty miles. Two
trips were made weekly and as at that
time Calumet was unsettled, the jour
ney was AN arduous one, Mr. Isler be-
ing forced 10 depend largely on his
snow shoes during the winter months
In 1868. MIR. Isler went To Marquette
where he was connected with the drug
store of II. H. Stafford until 1871, when
he moved To LAnse and established n
business of his own. AS L'Anse had
no regular physician at that time Mr..
lslcrs knowledge of medicine. acquired
through association with his father and
his experience as pharmacist. stood
him in good stead. While in that VIII
lase he was largely instrumental In
stamping out small pox epidemic
which broke out I'm the dead of winter.
Mr. lsler remained in LAnse until
1877
