Judge Wheaton is Dead.
Judge Elija D. Wheaton died at his
* home in Ht. Pleasant on July 4, 1901,
after a long and* painful illness, aged
•64 years. He leayes a widow and three
3, children, Herbert L. "Wheaton of Sagi-
now, Mr3. Ina Mills, of Illinois, and
Mrs. Clara Smith o* Mt. Pleasant.
The body was brought to Glare on
Saturday for burial in the family lot
in Cherry Grove cemetery.
To those of our citizens who lived
here a dozen years ago, the death of
Judge Wheaton will seem a personal
'•-'■■     Joss.   He was a true friend—not to
one or two or to a few persons, but to
all.   Coming to Clare county-with the
first settlers he had shared the hardships of pioneer life and during the
many years of his residence here he
.  won for himself the respect of all the
people.   He was always an advocate
$£ what he thought to be right and
was ever ready to make sacrifice, if
necessary, to carry out his principles.
Thus even those who differed  from
*f; .      tiro respected his opinion.   His influence in any good cause was never
sought in vain.   Perhaps the chief
.reason for the firm hQid he had on the
*      people was his unselfishness.   He was
. always seeking to do good to others.
,    Especially was this true in his treat-
_    'jfinent of young men.    He was their
-staunch friend, giving them not only
-good advice but material assistance in
their early struggles to get a start.
Mote than one now prosperous citizen
ot this town can recall these acts of
disinterested kindness on tbe part of
Judge Wheaton and ascribe much of
-the former's success in life to the
boosts the Judge so generously, gave.
'.-far   , "H&-*vas,a public spirited citizen, freely
-giving oi his means toward every ob-
■  /Meet In which his fellows were ihter-
.    Rested.    For-* many years he was a
-member of the school board, aposition
fee was  always proud to fill for he
•Sought to bring our schools up to the
highest standard. The many positions
&e held in village and county attest
the regard felt for him by the people.
jPe- was Village President, Prosecuting
'* . Attorney and three terms Judge of
>--3?robate, the duties of each position
fjflfng discharged at all times honestly
-•gstd efiJcientiy.  .
Since his removal from Olare in 1888
he bas been a prominent and worthy
citizen of Mt. Pleasant and has served
the people of that city as mayor and
of Isabella county as prosecuting attorney.
He was an awful sufferer during the
last four years, rheumatism m its
worst form having taken firm hold
on him. He battled bravely for lite
but realized that" he could never get
well, and 'he faced the great change
with christian fortitude, being conscious and cheerful to tbe very last.
Judge Wheaton was a member of
the Presbyterian church and also of
several fraternal orders, including the
Odd Fellows, the Masons and the
Ancient Order of United Workman.
His funeral on Saturday afternoon
was conducted by the Odd Fellows'
lodges of Clare and Mt. Pleasant, the
service at the grave being read by
Rev. A. C. Barclay of the Clare lodge.
A good man has gone. The people
mourn and their sympathies go out to
the widow and the fatherless.
Death of Miss Bell Ironmunger.
Death has again entered one of
Clare's homes and taken from it a
happy, young life. For nearly two
weeks Miss Ironmunger^had been ill
suffering from a partial sunstroke and
the excessive warm weather being a
serious menace to her recoyery, None
thought but that with her excellent
strong bodily -Constitution she would
finally recover but last Saturday in
the early morning hours the Angel of
Death came and transplanted her in
God's Acre. For the. past six years
she has lived in Clare and her young
life has been intermingled with,the
young people to whom her early demise is a great sorrow. She was but
seventeen years of age yet in these
brief years she had accomplished
much. Previous to her graduation
she spent one summer at Prof. Bryron
W\ 'King's school of Oratory. One
year ago she was graduated from the
Clare High School, and since that tim»
has been teaching school. But a short
time ago tbe class tie was broken
when Beatrice Fall laid down her
young life and now the class again
loses one of its number, the alumni its
fourth member and there'is a sadness
among a large number of friends that
one so young and with a life full of
such promise, should be bo early taken
away.   Her bright* sunny smile and
winning way will long be remembered.
The funeral service was. held in the
Congregational church Sunday afternoon conducted by Eev."M. Knowles
and tbe large number of people who
gathered to honor her memory showed
the ' high esteem in which she was
held.
Mr. and Mrs, Graves, with whom
she has lived for the past twelve years,
have the. sympathy of a large circle of
friends who, with them, mourn.
Mrs. Edward Falk.
After a long and severe illness Mrs.
Edward Falk passed peacefully away
Wednesday morning.
Deceased was the only daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. G. B. Lawrence". Born
in Ohio, November 29th, 1869. She
came with her parents to Clare eighteen years ago where she has since
resided. September 5th, 1885, she was
united in marriage to .Edward Falk.
To this union was born one son, Ray,
now fifteen years of age, who with the
parents, husband and one brother,
Martin, are left to mourn their loss.
Mrs. Falk died of consumption, having been unwell for the past twelve
years. Last fall Ed. proposed a trip
to New Mexico hoping the change of
climate would benefit her, but she
became too weak to uudertake the
journey.
Tbe funeral will be conducted from
the home tomorrow at two p. m., Eey,
Knowles officiating, and the remains
interred in Cherry Grove cemetery.
.   The Temple S. S. Rally.
The Sunday School Rally on the
night of the 8th at Temple was well
attended, and the address of Div Foster
was enthusiastically .received. Dr.
Foster is Secretary of the S. S. Union
for New England having come-on a
short trip west in the Interests of that
organization. He reports that he is
well pleased with Michigan. He left
for Buffalo, on Tuesday morning'where
he joins Supt. W. A, Willis of the
Centra! District and then, returns to
Boston, We wish the Sunday School
at Temple continued -success, and
thank the citizens,for their kindness
and hospitality toward us.
