The deceased came to Emmet County about thirty-five years ago, but later moved to Dakota, where he lived fifteen years. He was 67 years old. He was an upright, worthy citizen, a man of character, and many mourn his death. He is survive by his widow, one son, and two daughters. The remains were laid at rest in the Swan Lake cemetery a week ago Wednesday.
