McKeighan Shelved

The people of the county We're great
ly interested in the outcome of the mu-
nicipal primaries held in Flint on We'd
nesday.. The issue was Mayor Nc
Keighan. The result was something of
a surprise, as the famous mayor got but
2767 votes as against 1850 cast for his
opponent Earl F. johnson. The whole
McKeighan ticket went down with the
mayor. Clio people will find cause for
no little pleasure in the result of the
election because Mr.. johnson for many
years resided in this vicinity where he
has many friends. He is universally
regarded as being a square and able
man and if elected, as he doubtless will
be, will give the people of Flint an ad-
ministration they can be proud of.

On Monday the sad intelligence was
received in Clio of the death of Vim.
Giberson. owner of the Gberson Block
in this town, and for many years, up
until about twenty years ago, a prom
inent merchant here. The facts con-
corning his demise are briefly stated
in the following article copied from
Mondays Saginaw Courier-Herald:
'Wm. Giberson, well-known resi-
dent of Saginaw, died Sunday night at
the home of his daughter, Mrs. Gilbert,
in Grand Rapids, where he had been
visiting. Mr.. Giberson left Saginaw
for Grand Rapids few weeks ago, and
it was the intention of himself and wife
to return about March / and occupy
their new home on North Washington
avenue. Several days ago Mrs. Giber-
son wrote friends here that her husband
was very i'll. and Monday morning came
the news of his death.
"Mr. Giberson was born in Brant-
ford, Ont, 70 years ago. He came to
Michigan about as years ago and sue
cessively engaged in the mercantile
business in Mt. Morris, Fenton, Clare,
Harrison and Clio, coming to Saginaw
about ten years ago and engaging in
the real estate business, accumulating
considerable property here. He was
married about forty years ago to Miss
Helen Burr of Mr.. Morris, and she sur
wives him with one daughter, Mrs. Gil
bert

nav and the funeral will take place
Wednesday morning."
Mr.. Giberson was raised near Mt.

now in feeble health. In the early his
tory of this village he ran a store in
frame building, known as the brown
store, from its color, on the site now
occupied by the Clio State Bank. Later
he ran mercantile establishments at
various points in the state and finally
returned to Clio, built the fine block
that bears his name, and did business
there for about three years, serving
one term as president of the village.
Upon retiring from business here he
moved to Saginaw. which has since
been his home, taking position as
travelling salesman which he occupied
until seized with his last illness. About
year ago Mr.. and Mrs. Giberson sold
their home in Saginaw and were en-
gagged in preparing another at the time
of his death. For this reason Mrs.
Giberson has been staying with her SIS
ter, Mrs. Chas. Witherell, in Flint,
this winter and Mr.. Giberson went to
the home of his daughter when taken

Edward Smith, Mrs. J. c. Chambers,
and Mrs. VIM. thinner were nephew
and nieces of Mr.. Giberson and Levant
Burr was brother-in-law, all of whom
attended the funeral which was held in
Saginaw, on Wednesday.
