Sauble, about eight miles north of Ludington. The friends of the deceased went to Hamlin immediately upon the receipt of the sad intelligence, and brought the remains to the residence of his grand mother, MRS. GIRARD, who for years has resided across the ferry. Deceased was raised by the old lady as a member of the family. MRS. M. M. WELLS, of this city, is his sister. He was about 23 years old and had been married a little more than a year. MRS. HATCH resided with him at or near the station during the summer season. He had been in the service three years and made Ludington his home during the winter months. Preparations were made for the funeral to take place yesterday, but the severe storm made it impossible for a funeral cortege to cross the ferry, and in consequence, the time has been postponed till the weather moderates. The services will be held in the Catholic church and the body will be buried in the Catholic cemetery. Particulars of how deceased met his death are given else- where in this impression of the RECORD. =========================================================================== If you've reached this file through a SEARCH, you can access more of our growing collection of FREE online information by going to the following URL: http://www.us-data.org/ ===========================================================================
