FIRST PASTMASTERS'
NIGHT IN LOCAL
LODGE ^SUCCESS
Fellowcraft Degree Exemplified in Presence of Representatives of Five
Visiting Lodges
For many years the "Worshipful
Masters of John Q. Look lodge number 404, Free and Accepted Masons of
Glare, have had visions of a Past
Masters' night when all of the work
of a degree of the fraternity might
be exemplified by these men who had
served in the place of honor and
authority in the lodge, but that dream
did not come true until Tuesday eve-
•ding, when nine Past Masters occupied the chairs and conferred the
Becond degree upon two candidates.
Although the lodge ,was not
scheduled to be opened until seven-
thirty otclock, Masons from the city
and surrounding towns began to arrive shortly after seven o'clock, and
when the gavel was sounded by Worshipful Master Jesse Hampton at the
appointed hour, there were more than
one hundred members of the craft
seated in the Temple room.
Following the usual ceremonies of
opening the lodge, Mr. Hampton called the following Past Masters to
their respective places in the lodge.
Worshipful Masters, H. C. Cudney and
S. C. Kirkbride; Senior Warden,
I'rank Holmes; Junior Warden,
James Bicknell; Senior Deacon,
Arleigh Gorr; Junior Deacon, Ivan
Mcintosh; Stewards, T. Carl Hoi
brook and N. L. Tibbils; Tyler, Allen
Crum.
Wallace Johnson and John Arm-
Strong were initiated into the mysteries of the Fellowcraft degree, tho
jPast Masters in their respective
stations doing the work, being assisted only by Rev. H. B. Johnson of
Oxford, who was granted the privilege of conducting his son, Wallace,
during the first section of the degree.
The second section of this degree
which has often been described by
Masons as one of the most beautiful
and sublime,, of Masonic 'ceremonies
was conferred by S. C. Kirkbride, who
is the only living member of the
group of sixteen charter members
Who founded John Q. Look lodge in
11391, and who was Worshipful Mas
ter in 1898. Mr. Kirkbride learned
this work in New York state fifty-two
years ago, and although he lias not
been active in Masonic work in many
years, he gave the lecture in a most
impressive manner and without any
hesitation or mistakes.
It was a fitting illustration of how
well and sincerely the men of those
earlier days did their tasks and learned . their lessons. At the conclusion
of the ceremonies, Mr. Kirkbride
spoke briefly on the history of this
lodge which wag named after the
Most Worshipful Grand Master, Jonn
Q. Look. His remarks were greeted
with hearty applause by the audience.
Representatives of John J. Carton
lodge, of Harrison, Corning lodge of
'Farwell, Warren lodge of Coleman,
Salt River lodge of Shepherd and
Weidman lodge were present and
short talks were given by the two
• candidates, William Murphy and Asa
H. Aldrich of Harrison, and some of
the Past Masters. A Male Quartette
composed of Messrs. Cudney, McGuire, Zemmer and Feighner sang
two selections.
Rev. H. B. Johnson, of Oxford, who
made the long journey from his home
tor the purpose .. of attending this
meeting spoke on the subject of "A
Man and a Mason," He named honesty, courage, friendliness and unselfishness as the necessary qualifications of -a man and stated that if a
member of the fraternity was a true
Mason, jie would possess these same
Qualifications and be a real and true
man. He urged cooperation of the
membership during the coming year.
Rev. Albert0 Dawe, pastor of the Congregational church also spoke on the
high ideals of Masonry,
At the conclusion of the program and
the closing of the lodge, refreshments
were served by a committee in charge
of Charles Thurston. Worshipful
Master, Jesse Hampton is to be congratulated on tbe success of the meeting and it bespeaks a year of unusual
activity and interest among Masons
in Clare.

CLARE COUNTY ,
POLICE RADIO
PROVES WORTH
Sheriff Woods Apprehends
Runaway Boy Within Few
Hours After Receiving
Message
At the December session of the
Board of Supervisors it was voted to
purchase a radio receiving set for
Sheriff Wood's car and the same was
installed within a few hours thereafter. On Saturday following while
the car was parked beside the courthouse for a demonstration Messrs. J
Asline, of the County Road Commission, A. S. Crigier and Wm, Lange,
of Clare, listened to an announcement
from headquarters station WRDS at
Lansing, of which a runaway boy by
the name of Howard John, whose parents, Mr. and Mrs. Edward John, live
near the Michigan-Ohio state' line,
was the subject of that hour's broadcast. The message was received the
same time at the jail over the state
receiving set.
Mr. Asline remembering having
given a boy of the same description
a ride when enroute to Harrison and
that through questioning found out
that he was on his way to the Soo,
where he expected to^get work in a
lumbering camp, reported same to
the Sheriff. An investigation followed, but no trace of him could be found
until Mrs. Woods phoned her mother,
Mrs. O. J. Cooper, living about five
miles north of Harrison on IT. S. 27
and received the reply that a boy,
who could easily be identified by a
scar on his lip, was in that neighborhood. Sheriff Wood after investigation, found the description perfect
and brought him back and notified
the Lansing station.
The parents arrived the following
Monday and the lad was returned to
his home.
The week previous the sheriff received a message from headquarters
directing him to be on the lookout
for highway men that had held up
and robbed a farmer in Roscommon
county and were making their way
south. Mr. Woods soon had all
roads and corners blockaded, but the
culprits apparently had ducked to-
some hiding place, as they did not
make their appearance at the county
seat. ,
JOHN NORTHON OVERCOME
BY GAS WHILE AT WORK
IN NEW PLANT FRIDAY
John Northon had a, narrow escape
with his life Friday while working in
the Clare RoadLeveler building. The
buildjng has a cement floor and he
has kept a coke fire in several containers in order to gradually dry the
concrete and was also applying a
coat of paint thereon, He had exerted himself in order to complete'the
work and became very tired but
thought it was only due to the heat
and walked to an open window to
rest. Being greatly revived he returned to work but was unable to continue but for a few moments. George
ITeeter happened in and while he carried on a short conversation with
him. he collapsed. George managed
to get him out in the open air and
called Dr. F. C. Sanford, who worked
over him for some time, before they
could removed him to his home. As
Mr. Northon gradually overcome the
effects of tlie gas he suffered a severe
headache but Saturday morning
found hini about his duties again al-
tho a little weak-in-the-knees.
MRS. ANNA PHILLIPS
SUCCUMBS AFTER
YEAROF ILLNESS
Crowd Gathers For Funeral
Service Held Sunday
Afternoon '
Once again in the silent twilight of
January 16, the angel of death crept
softly into our midst and took in his
fond embrace another beloved friend
and carried Mrs. O. Phillips to the
peaceful beyond where her face no
more we'll see but we hope to meet
her beyond this Vale of tears.
Anna Belle Badgley was born in
Hastings county, Out., April 6, 1850,
and departed from life January 16,
1931 at the age of 74 years, 9 months,
10 days.
She came to Michigan in 1889 and
made her home with her brother, William Badgley at Herrick.
In 1891 she was united in marriage
to Orleans Phillips and made their
home in Herrick, later, moving to
Rosebush, and then to her present
home in Sheridan.
She leaves to mourn their loss a
number of nieces and nephews.
Special mention should be made of
Arthur, who has always made his
home with her since a small child.
She had been in poor health but a
year and gradually failed until about
a week previous. She was very
patient during all her suffering and
was tenderly cared for by her rela-
tives and kind friends.
All was done that skilled physicians and household of kind and loving hands could do but God knows
best and worn and weary with pain
the tender eyes closed forever and
peacefully passed beyond to be with
loved ones gone before.
The funeral services which was
very largely attended was' conducted
by Rev. M. R. HondSrick at the home
in Sheridan Sunday afternoon, and
burial was made in Cherry Grove. X
MIDLAND WINS
BY HIGH SCORE
HERE HUDAY EVE
Sickness Weakens Glare
Team and No Changes
Made During Game
The class B. Midland team defeated
Clare high's crippled basketball team
last Friday night 24 to 12. Two of
the regulars, Fred Runge and Chet
Chaffee "were on the sick list. Walter
Upthegrove played guard in Runge's
stead, with McKinnon and Waite as
forwards. Comer at the other guard
and Jordan at center completed the
team which -played the entire game.
The first quarter ended in Midland's favor with a five to three score,
with the Glare lads playing a fine defensive game. However, in the second quarter Midland began making
baskets and at half time the score
was 15 to 3.
After Midland made a basket at
the opening of the third quarter the
boys came to life making three baskets for six points short order and
giving the Midlanders a scare and
they called time-out. This seemed to
have the desired effect for Clare did
not score further until the fourth
quarter when a Clare man broke
away to make a close-in shot. He was
fouled and made a free throw.
Midland's team was a fast, clever
aggregation and only the fighting
spirit of Clare players kept them
from a worse defeat.
Midland has only one defeat, that
by Greenville a week before, score
being 16-15.
Tonight Clare teams play St. Louis
on their floor and a large delegation
is planning to accompany the players.
These two teams have always -been
near rivals in all brandies of athletics.
January 30th, Reed City comes to
Glare and the local lads hope to
square accounts on the score board,
as they lost the game with the visitors by but one basket which broke
the tie just prior to the last half
minute of play. This game will hold
thrills for the fans and support fro:|
the sidelines gives the players new
courage.
RESERVE FERUARY 12TH
The public is requested to reserve
the date Of Thursday, February 12th,
when the Gilded Hollywood Stars will
entertain in person at the Ideal
theatre. This is a Congregational
Guild benefit aind further announcement will appear next week.
WM. BURST0N TO ENTER
DRUG BUSINESS IN CLARE
JUDGE RAY HART
MAKES DECISION
IN SCHOOL CASE
Consolidation For Purpose
of Economical Government Given Additional
Impetus by Court
Consolidation for the purpose of
economical government was given
additional impetus by the decision
handed down by Circuit Judge Ray
Hart sitting in the Clare County Circuit Court this past week.
In September, 1929, School District
No. 2 of Garfield township filed a Bill
of Complaint against the Township
Board of the Township alleging that
its action taken in May of 1928 was
irregular and against the laws of this
State relative to abolishing a School
District. Litigation -has consumed
the period from that time to the present when the case was finally dispos
ed of. The dissolved school district
comprised eight sections in Garfield
township which were sparsely settled
and taxes were paid largely by nonresidents. The tax rate during the
time this territory operated as a
school district was $22.50 per thousand dollar assessed valuation and
(since its consolidation has been re
duced to $9.38. The Court in ren*
dering its decision stated that it
would be a grave injustice to the land
owners of the consolidated district to
continue in the manner in which the
Board conducted affairs. One family
alone had school children in the district and the husband and wife were
the only officers at the time of the
action of the Township Board. In
this way they operated for years hiring a teacher and paying all * bills
without record or notation of the
amount expended or paid.
This decision goes a long ways in
aiding non-residents in owning lands
in sections of our state where values
are low. By this decision a large portion of Garfield Township is placed
under the head of one school district
with less operating expense and better teaching facilities. Provision
will be made for the attendance v of
the children of this district at a nearby school.
Attorneys from Detroit' and Evart
represented the dissolved school district while T. Carl Holbrook assisted
by Mr. John Quinn, of Harrison,
represented the Township Board.
This appears to be a forward move in
keeping with economical policies
which will permit people to own land
and thus assist in the cost incident
to operating our government.

Death claimed Mrs. M. D. Clute at
her home in Sheridan township about
midnight Monday night after an illness of several weeks duration. The
passing of this esteemed lady removes one who has been a resident
of that township for over a half
century, first making their home just
across the highway while the present residence was under construction.
Comfort Hattie James was a native
of Northhampton, England, born
April 13th, 1858, and came to America when twelve years of age, residing at Farmington, Michigan. In the
year 1878, she was married to M. D.
Clute and they immediately began
housekeeping in Sheridan township,
where through strong determination
and sa.crifices unknown to many except the pioneers, they acquired a
large farm and comfortable home.
Their family consisted of four boys,
Elmer, now postmaster at Harrison
Dr. W. F., of this city, Jay, of Pontiac,
and Leo, who passed away at the age
of seven years. Besides the husband
and three sons, two granddaughters
and four' grandsons also mourn her
departure. Undoubtedly ho couple in
this part of the state enjoyed a larger
circle of friends and acquaintances
than did Mi*, and Mrs. Clute during
this span of years. A brother and
sister who reside in her native
country alsp survive. Mrs. Clute enjoyed the privilege of visiting thenr
two years ago,
Mrs. Clute was a member of the
Church of God of Colonwiile, and also
belonged to the Maccabee order of
Clare.

ICE TRUCK GETS DUCKING IN MILL FOND
Ice Gives Way Under Weight
and Driver Receives a
Chilly Bath
Leon Gleason, of the Clare Ice Co.,
had an exciting experience last week
(Thursday when he drove his truck
upon the ice at the Mill Pond without
first making an examination of the
thickness thereof.
Prior to the letting out of the
water a week previous by the Consumers Power Co. in order to make
necessary repairs, the ice had attained a thickness of ten to twelve
inches, but instead had melted to
four and five inches with the entrance
oft fresh water.
Luckily the truck -settled down
squarely instead of plunging head;
first as in the latter case it probably
would have resulted in the death of
Mr. Gleason. As it was he escaped
With only a cold water bath and with
the assistance of the Clute service
auto the truck was recovered little
the -worse for its experience.
Clare county again mourns keenly
the loss of one of its early well
known pioneers and business men in
the person of Arthur Rhodes, of Harrison, Dqath came at the ripe age
of seventy-six and after being confined to his couch for a brief period
of only two weeks, showing him to
have possessed a constitution marvelous in its power to withstand the
savage attacks of disease common to
a man of his years.
Arthur Rhodes was born in New
Baltimore, Michigan, April 22, 1854.
He was united in marriage to Anna
M. Clayton, September 10, 1876. To
bless this unio'n five children were
born, Gertrude Gardiner - and Leota
Green, of Harrison; Ernest, of Saginaw, Roy and Walter of Flint.
He departed this life on the morning of January 18, 1931, after an ill-
ness continuing over a year. During
all these months he bore intense suffering with the utmost fortitude, never complaining in the least. Though
life Arthur Rhodes was noted for his •"
cneerful disposition, kindly spirit and
the possession of extreme thoughtful-
ness for the general welfare of his
neighbors and fellow men. W'th
charity toward all, his lips were never engaged in the utterance of unkind
words against friend or stranger. His
daily acts were always those of the
Christian in the truest sense of the,
term, ' • * '
, Up to a few years ago, Arthur
Rhodes was actively engaged in the
manufacturing and mercantile business. The location of his busy activities were Saginaw, Farwell and
Leota, the latter place being named *
and founded by him. Here he labored for twenty years, until retiring
from active business. His is a personage that will be greatly missed by
old and young alike.
Besides the wife, sons -and daughters, ten grandchildren and two
great-grandchildreiTlive to' mourn his
departure.
The funeral was held from the
home of his son-in-law, Henry Gardiner, Wednesday afternoon, at two
o'clock. Reverend Dawe of the First
Congregational church, Clare, officiated. The rites in honor of the deceased were simple and very beautiful.
The clergyman's words were brief
and exceedingly consoling. Fred
Weatherhead sang, Mrs. Weather-
head accompanying him at the piano.
The profusion of flowers, the gift of
local organizations, friends and the
Buick Company of Flint, was beautiful beyond expression. Mrs. Bernie
Hampton was usher at the opening
and closing of the services, Ortho
Boulton, Daniel Lockwood, Joseph
Hoag, Marion Johnson, Charles
Spohn and John Briggs, close associates of the departed, acted as-
pall-bearers.

CLARE COUNTY , POLICE RADIO PROVES WORTH Sheriff Woods Apprehends Runaway Boy Within Few Hours After Receiving Message At the December session of the Board of Supervisors it was voted to purchase a radio receiving set for Sheriff Wood's car and the same was installed within a few hours thereafter. On Saturday following while the car was parked beside the courthouse for a demonstration Messrs. J Asline, of the County Road Commission, A. S. Crigier and Wm, Lange, of Clare, listened to an announcement from headquarters station WRDS at Lansing, of which a runaway boy by the name of Howard John, whose parents, Mr. and Mrs. Edward John, live near the Michigan-Ohio state' line, was the subject of that hour's broadcast. The message was received the same time at the jail over the state receiving set. Mr. Asline remembering having given a boy of the same description a ride when enroute to Harrison and that through questioning found out that he was on his way to the Soo, where he expected to^get work in a lumbering camp, reported same to the Sheriff. An investigation followed, but no trace of him could be found until Mrs. Woods phoned her mother, Mrs. O. J. Cooper, living about five miles north of Harrison on IT. S. 27 and received the reply that a boy, who could easily be identified by a scar on his lip, was in that neighborhood. Sheriff Wood after investigation, found the description perfect and brought him back and notified the Lansing station. The parents arrived the following Monday and the lad was returned to his home. The week previous the sheriff received a message from headquarters directing him to be on the lookout for highway men that had held up and robbed a farmer in Roscommon county and were making their way south. Mr. Woods soon had all roads and corners blockaded, but the culprits apparently had ducked to- some hiding place, as they did not make their appearance at the county seat. , JOHN NORTHON OVERCOME BY GAS WHILE AT WORK IN NEW PLANT FRIDAY John Northon had a, narrow escape with his life Friday while working in the Clare RoadLeveler building. The buildjng has a cement floor and he has kept a coke fire in several containers in order to gradually dry the concrete and was also applying a coat of paint thereon, He had exerted himself in order to complete'the work and became very tired but thought it was only due to the heat and walked to an open window to rest. Being greatly revived he returned to work but was unable to continue but for a few moments. George ITeeter happened in and while he carried on a short conversation with him. he collapsed. George managed to get him out in the open air and called Dr. F. C. Sanford, who worked over him for some time, before they could removed him to his home. As Mr. Northon gradually overcome the effects of tlie gas he suffered a severe headache but Saturday morning found hini about his duties again al- tho a little weak-in-the-knees. MRS. ANNA PHILLIPS SUCCUMBS AFTER YEAROF ILLNESS Crowd Gathers For Funeral Service Held Sunday Afternoon ' Once again in the silent twilight of January 16, the angel of death crept softly into our midst and took in his fond embrace another beloved friend and carried Mrs. O. Phillips to the peaceful beyond where her face no more we'll see but we hope to meet her beyond this Vale of tears. Anna Belle Badgley was born in Hastings county, Out., April 6, 1850, and departed from life January 16, 1931 at the age of 74 years, 9 months, 10 days. She came to Michigan in 1889 and made her home with her brother, William Badgley at Herrick. In 1891 she was united in marriage to Orleans Phillips and made their home in Herrick, later, moving to Rosebush, and then to her present home in Sheridan. She leaves to mourn their loss a number of nieces and nephews. Special mention should be made of Arthur, who has always made his home with her since a small child. She had been in poor health but a year and gradually failed until about a week previous. She was very patient during all her suffering and was tenderly cared for by her rela- tives and kind friends. All was done that skilled physicians and household of kind and loving hands could do but God knows best and worn and weary with pain the tender eyes closed forever and peacefully passed beyond to be with loved ones gone before. The funeral services which was very largely attended was' conducted by Rev. M. R. HondSrick at the home in Sheridan Sunday afternoon, and burial was made in Cherry Grove. X MIDLAND WINS BY HIGH SCORE HERE HUDAY EVE Sickness Weakens Glare Team and No Changes Made During Game The class B. Midland team defeated Clare high's crippled basketball team last Friday night 24 to 12. Two of the regulars, Fred Runge and Chet Chaffee "were on the sick list. Walter Upthegrove played guard in Runge's stead, with McKinnon and Waite as forwards. Comer at the other guard and Jordan at center completed the team which -played the entire game. The first quarter ended in Midland's favor with a five to three score, with the Glare lads playing a fine defensive game. However, in the second quarter Midland began making baskets and at half time the score was 15 to 3. After Midland made a basket at the opening of the third quarter the boys came to life making three baskets for six points short order and giving the Midlanders a scare and they called time-out. This seemed to have the desired effect for Clare did not score further until the fourth quarter when a Clare man broke away to make a close-in shot. He was fouled and made a free throw. Midland's team was a fast, clever aggregation and only the fighting spirit of Clare players kept them from a worse defeat. Midland has only one defeat, that by Greenville a week before, score being 16-15. Tonight Clare teams play St. Louis on their floor and a large delegation is planning to accompany the players. These two teams have always -been near rivals in all brandies of athletics. January 30th, Reed City comes to Glare and the local lads hope to square accounts on the score board, as they lost the game with the visitors by but one basket which broke the tie just prior to the last half minute of play. This game will hold thrills for the fans and support fro: the sidelines gives the players new courage. RESERVE FERUARY 12TH The public is requested to reserve the date Of Thursday, February 12th, when the Gilded Hollywood Stars will entertain in person at the Ideal theatre. This is a Congregational Guild benefit aind further announcement will appear next week. WM. BURST0N TO ENTER DRUG BUSINESS IN CLARE JUDGE RAY HART MAKES DECISION IN SCHOOL CASE Consolidation For Purpose of Economical Government Given Additional Impetus by Court Consolidation for the purpose of economical government was given additional impetus by the decision handed down by Circuit Judge Ray Hart sitting in the Clare County Circuit Court this past week. In September, 1929, School District No. 2 of Garfield township filed a Bill of Complaint against the Township Board of the Township alleging that its action taken in May of 1928 was irregular and against the laws of this State relative to abolishing a School District. Litigation -has consumed the period from that time to the present when the case was finally dispos ed of. The dissolved school district comprised eight sections in Garfield township which were sparsely settled and taxes were paid largely by nonresidents. The tax rate during the time this territory operated as a school district was $22.50 per thousand dollar assessed valuation and (since its consolidation has been re duced to $9.38. The Court in ren* dering its decision stated that it would be a grave injustice to the land owners of the consolidated district to continue in the manner in which the Board conducted affairs. One family alone had school children in the district and the husband and wife were the only officers at the time of the action of the Township Board. In this way they operated for years hiring a teacher and paying all * bills without record or notation of the amount expended or paid. This decision goes a long ways in aiding non-residents in owning lands in sections of our state where values are low. By this decision a large portion of Garfield Township is placed under the head of one school district with less operating expense and better teaching facilities. Provision will be made for the attendance v of the children of this district at a nearby school. Attorneys from Detroit' and Evart represented the dissolved school district while T. Carl Holbrook assisted by Mr. John Quinn, of Harrison, represented the Township Board. This appears to be a forward move in keeping with economical policies which will permit people to own land and thus assist in the cost incident to operating our government. MRS. M. D.

Clute at her home in Sheridan township about midnight Monday night after an illness of several weeks duration. The passing of this esteemed lady removes one who has been a resident of that township for over a half century, first making their home just across the highway while the present residence was under construction. Comfort Hattie James was a native of Northhampton, England, born April 13th, 1858, and came to America when twelve years of age, residing at Farmington, Michigan. In the year 1878, she was married to M. D. Clute and they immediately began housekeeping in Sheridan township, where through strong determination and sa.crifices unknown to many except the pioneers, they acquired a large farm and comfortable home. Their family consisted of four boys, Elmer, now postmaster at Harrison Dr. W. F., of this city, Jay, of Pontiac, and Leo, who passed away at the age of seven years. Besides the husband and three sons, two granddaughters and four' grandsons also mourn her departure. Undoubtedly ho couple in this part of the state enjoyed a larger circle of friends and acquaintances than did Mi*, and Mrs. Clute during this span of years. A brother and sister who reside in her native country alsp survive. Mrs. Clute enjoyed the privilege of visiting thenr two years ago, Mrs. Clute was a member of the Church of God of Colonwiile, and also belonged to the Maccabee order of Clare. FUnei-at seitices were held Thursday afternoon at two o'clock froin the Colontllle church, conducted by Rev. H. % JobJSSon, ot Oxford, «nd burial mad* in Cherry ©rote cemetery.

COUNTY SEAT PIONEER PASSED, AWAY SUNDAY Arthur Rhodes, Until Several Years Ago Was Actively Engaged in Business ICE TRUCK GETS DUCKING IN MILL FOND Ice Gives Way Under Weight and Driver Receives a Chilly Bath Leon Gleason, of the Clare Ice Co., had an exciting experience last week (Thursday when he drove his truck upon the ice at the Mill Pond without first making an examination of the thickness thereof. Prior to the letting out of the water a week previous by the Consumers Power Co. in order to make necessary repairs, the ice had attained a thickness of ten to twelve inches, but instead had melted to four and five inches with the entrance oft fresh water. Luckily the truck -settled down squarely instead of plunging head; first as in the latter case it probably would have resulted in the death of Mr. Gleason. As it was he escaped With only a cold water bath and with the assistance of the Clute service auto the truck was recovered little the -worse for its experience. Clare county again mourns keenly the loss of one of its early well known pioneers and business men in the person of Arthur Rhodes, of Harrison, Dqath came at the ripe age of seventy-six and after being confined to his couch for a brief period of only two weeks, showing him to have possessed a constitution marvelous in its power to withstand the savage attacks of disease common to a man of his years.

He departed this life on the morning of January 18, 1931, after an ill- ness continuing over a year. During all these months he bore intense suffering with the utmost fortitude, never complaining in the least. Though life Arthur Rhodes was noted for his •" cneerful disposition, kindly spirit and the possession of extreme thoughtful- ness for the general welfare of his neighbors and fellow men. W'th charity toward all, his lips were never engaged in the utterance of unkind words against friend or stranger. His daily acts were always those of the Christian in the truest sense of the, term, ' • * ' , Up to a few years ago, Arthur Rhodes was actively engaged in the manufacturing and mercantile business. The location of his busy activities were Saginaw, Farwell and Leota, the latter place being named * and founded by him. Here he labored for twenty years, until retiring from active business.

The funeral was held from the home of his son-in-law, Henry Gardiner, Wednesday afternoon, at two o'clock. Reverend Dawe of the First Congregational church, Clare, officiated. The rites in honor of the deceased were simple and very beautiful. The clergyman's words were brief and exceedingly consoling. Fred Weatherhead sang, Mrs. Weather- head accompanying him at the piano. The profusion of flowers, the gift of local organizations, friends and the Buick Company of Flint, was beautiful beyond expression. Mrs. Bernie Hampton was usher at the opening and closing of the services, Ortho Boulton, Daniel Lockwood, Joseph Hoag, Marion Johnson, Charles Spohn and John Briggs, close associates of the departed, acted as- pall-bearers.
