(Continued on Page Five)
Clare where he lived f.or thirty-eight
years.
As a sandy haired lad he look his
place at the loom of life and with the
scarlet thread of uncompromising
principles and the gold thread of-love
he wove a tapestry of rare and eternal beauty. The friends he attracted
to him Stayed with him for life and
none  turned  from  him  disappointed!
After his education in our Clare-
school he chose for his vocation the
railway mail service and to this work
he devoted twenty-seven years oi
highly efficient ancl conscientious
labor. He filled a deep, warm place
in the hearts of his co-workers and
their grief and high tributes for Mm
will always comfort those whe
mourn.
During the twelve yeais, 1906-18
when he worked between Manistee
and Toledo he made his home in
Clare.
In 1908 he married Elizabeth Ryan
and to this union were born two sons,
Frederick ancl Robert. Looking back
over his life we „ are struck with the
realization that his whole life centered around their home and to that
"ishrine he Wrought his church ancl his
friends.
In 1918 when the location of his
work was changed to a route between
Detroit and Saginaw he moved with
his family lo Detroit where he has
made his home since that time.
Wednesday, May 3rd, funeral services were conducted from his home
at 1569 Bewick Avenue by Reverend
James Lawson ol! the St. Marks
Methodist Episcopal church of which
he was a member.
A brief service was held Thursday
at the grave in Clare by Reverend J.
E. Lockyer.
By nature and by the life he lead,
Lee Dunwoodie has become a worthy
and welcome companion of the Master. We know for a certainty that
the thoughts, the love and faith
which lie has sent out across the
void to God's reaching hands "have
greatened to a chain no chance can
break £.nd he is anchored to the in->
finite,
His immediate family suliviving him
are his wife; two sons, Frederick and
Robert; his mother and his only sis-j
ter, Mrs. Lena Reading, his father
having died in 1916.

CLARE MEETS DEFEAT AT
HARRISON FRIDAY 4 TO 3;
PLAY MT. PLEASANT TODAY
The Clare boys were defeated in
their third game of the season after
winning two games. The Harrison,
boys staged a two-run rally in the)
last inning to defeat the local lads 4
to 3, Norman Blystone had pitched
gtood ball until relieved in favor of
Lyle Allen, who pitched the sixth and
seventh innings. Clare was leading
as the seventh started by a 3 'to %
score and it was not until two were
out that the rally started. Three
successive short hits just over the Infield accounted for the two runs and/
the game. It had been a fine game
with good pitching and good fielding
and should have been Clare's game
but a ball game is never over until
the last man is out.    _
The game with Coleman Wednesday resulted in a 8 to 6 score for
Coleman.. The game had been post-
j poned from Tuesday.
Today Clare high plays at Mt.

delegations of business men, city officials and men interested in the gas

coming from Detroit, Saginaw and,
Bay City, met at the Hotel Doherty
at ten o'clock where they were met
by a number of local men interested

to investigate the. feasibility of sponsoring a pipe line to pipe gas from

City for the use of both communities.
Shortly after ten o'clock the various automobiles in the party lined
up in front of the Hotel Doherty and,
led by a car containing local people,
proceeded north and west to At-
wood's Siding. Four wells in this
vicinity were visited and opened as
follows: Citizens State Bank No. 1,
McKay No. 1, Bicknell No. 2 and
Bicknell No. 1.
To many of those attending the
procedure was a novelty while to the
veteran gas ancl oil men it was
ancient history. The roar occasioned
by the gas as each well was > opened,
was deafening and an effect never
to be forgotten by those hearing it
■for the first time. In three of the
wells the gas was blown skyward
while in the McKay No. 1 well it was,
blown horizontally. Here the force
