              Pioneer Passes Away.
              
           FREDERICK OHLAND, one of the earl-
         iest residents of this city died very
         suddenly about 12 o'clock Saturday
         night.  He had been in poor health
         for a number of years but up to with-
         in 2 hours of his death was feeling as
         well as usual.  About nine o'clock he
         had a severe fit of coughing, but as
         these spells were of frequent occur-
         ence nothing was thought of it.  The
         usual remedies were applied and MR.
         OHLAND soon retired apparently as
         well as ever.  Shortly after 11 o'clock
         MRS. OHLAND was awakened to find
         him sitting up in bed gasping for
         breath.  A physician was summoned
         and every thing possible was done to
         relieve him.  All efforts proved un-
         availing and inside of an hour he
         had expired.
           MR. OHLAND was born in Germany
         in 1843.  At the age of fourteen he
         came to America, settling in the
         southern part of the state.  When the
         civil [war] broke out he enlisted in
         the Second Michigan Infantry and
         served until the close of the war.
         Exposure and the wounds received dur-
         ing his four years service left him
         in a feeble condition and were the 
         ultimate cause of his death.  In 1876
         he came to Ludington and has for a
         number of years conducted the board
         of trade restaurant opposite the city
         hall.  Deceased was a member of the
         G.A.R. and German Aid society.
           The funeral services were held at
         the late residence of deceased Monday
         morning under the auspisces of the
         G.A.R. and German Aid society.
           The remains were taken to Saginaw
         on the noon train Monday and in-
         terred beside those of his father and
         two brothers.  Deceased leaves a
         widow but no children.
           In addition to the Ludington pro-
         perty MR. OHLAND was the owner of
         some real estate in Saginaw.  He
         carried a $1000 policy in the Wash-
         ington Life Insurance Co. and $500
         in the German Aid society.
           MRS. OHLAND will return from Sag-
         inaw the last of the week and it is
         understood that she will continue to
         conduct the business as formerly.
