        WILLIAM BARNHART, one of our pioneers, died at his home in
     Victory, on Friday morning lalst, after a long period of suffer-
     ing and illness. He had been a resident of this county nearly
     twenty years. The deceased was 63 years old at the time of his
     death. From his boyhood home in Canada he came to Muskegon
     county with a party of canal estimators. When his term with them 
     closed he settled at the head of White Lake where he lived for
     several years and married a daughter of the forest, with whom
     he lived until death called him away, she survives him. Since
     his residence here he has held the office of county surveyor
     two terms. In the spring of 1868 he was elected supervisor of
     Victory and was again elected in 1869. He discharged the duties
     of his office creditably to himself and in a manner satisfactory
     to his constituents. His life was unassuming and modest; honest
     and worthy. Ready and forward in the discharge of each duty.
                     Let not ambition mock
                     His humble toll,
                     His destiny obscure.
     He was a true pioneer one among a now small number yearly growing
     smaller.
