HILL conducted the services. We have that fatal disease diphtheria among us once more, several families have been contending against it, and at this writing only one case has proved fatal, that of MISS CORA BARNES aged about 14 years. MR. and MRS. BARNES have the sympathy of the entire community in this their great loss, as it leaves them with only one child a few years younger than CORA. DR.

JONES, of Sweetland, desire to express their gratitude to friends and neighbors for services rendered during the fatal sickness of their daughter, NETTIE FAY. They are especially indebted to MRS. RICE and DR. KIBBY, of Custer. Last Monday MRS. BURGLAND died at her home in the Fourth ward, after an illness of several weeks' duration. MR. BURGLAND is left with five little ones, the oldest only eight years old. In the absence of a minister who could speak the Swedish language the services were conducted by MR.

HENRY HUNT died on Friday evening at her residence in the First ward. Deceased was but 17 years of age and was married at her home in Charlotte about a year ago. JOHN LOWE, aged 40, died at his residence last Saturday morning and was buried Monday. MR. LOWE had made this city his home for many years and was well known as a man of great industry. As a member of the Royal Archanum he leaves a policy for $3,000 to his bereaved family. MR. W. H. WILLIAMS is the executor of his estate. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Ludington Record Vol. XVI Old Series No. 12 Vol. 3. New Series No. 27 Thursday, November 23, 1882 On Monday night, after a short illness, and much suffering, MRS. MARY LATIMER, wife of DR. F. N. LATIMER, died at her home in this city. A short service was held at the house Tuesday morning, and the remains were taken to Big Rapids for burial. The deceased was a most estimable woman. Coming here a short year ago a bride, and a strang- er, she won the respect and affection of a select circle of choice friends who mourn deeply the untimely call of the grim messenger. MRS. Latimer was a worthy member of the Congregational church in this city, and passed to rest in unswerving trust and faith in bright immortality. To the bereaved husband whose poignant grief excites the deepest sympathy a wide circle of friends tender unfeigned commiser- ation. MR. J. A. GEBHARDT and family are again severely afflicted by the death of their oldest son. The fearful disease that has suddenly be- reaved many families of their dear children has also afflicted the family of MR. GEBHARDT. Seven of their children were two weeks ago suffering with it at the same time. Two have died. On the 5th inst., little HENRIETTA, aged 4 years, died very suddenly. MISS IDA was for several days in a very critical condition, but has nearly recovered. Also the younger children. But MASTER JOHNNIE continued to decline in resistance to most skillful efforts and care. He died on the evening of the 16th inst. even while prayers were at his request being offered in the prayermeeting for him. JOHNNIE was about 16 years of age. His habits were manly, intelligent and industrious. He was greatly interested in the Sabbath School and in religious reading. When he felt that he must go, he expressed his trust in the Lord, his Saviour, leaving the evidence of a work of grace in his heart, and that he has entered his heavenly rest. When the youth are called away we must believe that God's purposes are wise and good. The boys of the Sabbath School and class of which he was a member are admonished to be ready for the Master. Four members of his class have died. The family have the prayerful sympathy of their many friends here and elsewhere. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Ludington Record Vol. XVL Old Series No. 13 Vol. 3. New Series No. 28 Thursday, November 30, 1882 J. D. SMEDLEY's child, seven months old, died last Tuesday at his home in Victory. Another tragedy had its consumation last night in the death of GEO. W. HALL, and Indian. He was sitting on the track about two miles east of Custer last Tuesday night when the incoming late train struck him on the left shoulder, besides injuring him internally. The train was stopped as soon as possible, and returned in search of the un- fortunate man. Before reaching him however another Indian was found in the ditch, but slightly injured, and under the influence of liquor. The two men were picked up and brought to the city. MR. HALL was taken to the Clinton House and died there last night. He has been a regular subscriber to the Record for several years past and was intelligent and well informed. An empty bottle found in his pocket, and the state of his companion leaves no doubt as to the agency which brought him to such an untimely end. A jury will be impaneled this morning and a verdict rendered in accordance with the facts. A little daughter of JEFF. DAVIS, aged ten years, died last Friday. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. L. CURTISS. =========================================================================== 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/ ===========================================================================
