ron, Mich, in 1866, and was there
fore So years of age. When he was
two years old his parents removed to
dillsdale, Mich. For long time he
resided at Jackson, Mich, being lin.
otype operator and general assistant
in the publication Of the Daily Patriot
of that city. About fourteen years
ago, his health being undermined by
constant and combining work, he re-
moved to Florida, purchasing the
place on Banana Lake, where he lived
until his death. At that time the To-

the great development that has taken
place in that section in the last few
years makes the place seem now but

in the cultivation of his fruits and

the congenial companionship of his
beloved wife, he passed the years,
happily, his impaired health giving
