GONE TO HER REWAflD.
Mrs.   John   W.   Harris   Died
February Sth after a Long
Illness.
In the death Of Mis. John W. Harris
at her home Friday, February 6th,
Clare loses another of her highly re
spected citizens who saw much of the
life and growth of our little city. For
fifteen months she strutted with tlie
fatal malady bravely submitting to
operations at the hands of medical experts at the hospital of University or
Michigan at Ann Arbor, but in the
end cancer snapped the golden thread
of life and she passed to her reward in
the life Beyond. The funeral occurred
Sunday from the home, Rev. W. J.
Hathaway speaking words of encouragement to the bereaved ones,
and the interment was made at Cherry
Grove.
Alwida Lane Harris, daughter of
Jonathan Lane, was born at Amherst-
burg, Ont., in 1850. When young she
moved with her parents to Leamington. Ont., where in. 1870 she was
joined in marriage to John W Harris.
To that union were born one daughter
and two sons—Mrs S. Bogardus, and
Clyde O. and Fred B. all well known in
Clare and vicinity and these with her
father and husband still survive.' In
1880 Mr. and Mrs. Harris moved to
Clare where they have since resided
except for three years at Ithaca, and
here Mrs. Harris was favorably known
in all the relations of life. Devoted
- to home and family she exemplified
those virtues that sanctify the home
and glorify, womanhood. Indentifled
. with the Methodist church, when her
strength permitted, she was an ardent
worker therein and in her last days
was strong in the faith- of a future
life, She has been called hence but
not in vain did 'she live and do for
others and the influence of her life
will go on shedding its fragrance in
the lives of the many who cherish her
memory.
Teachers' Association.
President D A. Barber of the Olare
County Teachers' Union, ably assisted
by the executive'committee, has prepared and sent out the program for
the meeting of the Union to be held
at Farwell, Saturday, February 27th.
On another page in this issue we give
the program in full. Every teacher
in the county is urged to attend, and
a most pleasant and profitable, clay for
those whose work tends to shape the
destiny of tlie Nation is antici ated.
It is hoped that nothing will prevent
any teacher in the county from attending.
This meeting will be more than a
local association, as PrQf. Larzarlere,
actin.' principal of the Mt. Pleasant
Normal, will be in attendance, and besides delivering an address, will take
active part in the discussions. The
meeting will be a recreation' for
the workers and the inspiration of it
will be Iqng felt for good. . Prof.
Barber will act as local committee.
Address him at Farwell for information.
ANOTHER PIONEER GONE.

To the maoy friends .and neighbors,

George   W.   Halstead   Departs
this^ Life at the Age of
Sixty-three.
After an illness of only five days
from pleurisy and pneumonia and
weakened from a sickness earlier in
the winter, George W. Halstead expired at h s home Sunday morning,
February 7th. The funeral tooK
place from the home Tuesday, Rev
A. L. Woodlock preaching the sermon,
and interment was made at Cherry
Grove.
George W. Halstead was born in
Niagara Co., N. Y., in 1841. His early-
life was spent in Clinton Co., Mich.
In 1871, just as Clare was struggling
Into existance, he located here and
through those pioneer days helped t>
make possible the conditions as are
now known in our city. During most
of his thirty-three years residence
here he was in the grocery business.
Among the early stores built in Clare,
was one erected by him north of "W.
H. Bicknell & Co's. dry goods store
but that old land mark was swept
away in the Hre last year.
After coming to Clare Mr Halstead
married VlissMina Butler. To thai
union eight children, were born and p
these the following survive: Mrs.
Joseph Gregwire of Cass City, Edwin
of Mt. Pleasant with Iva, Oren. Mabel
and Elmer still at home. Two brothers and two sisters also survive—Mrs.
Wilkinson of-Florida, Elmer and Mrs.
Millie Spring -of this city and Palmer
of Mt. Pleasant. The sympathy of
the community is with the widowed
wife and the family in tjheir bereavement,     .
The Other Aid meets with Mrs.
J. Hathaway next Wednesday.

responce. An excellent dinner followed after which reports from the
various Granges were given.
Mrs M. W. Wheeler, Pomona lecturer was then ready with a very interesting and instructive program:
Rudolph Schaeffer rendered a vocal
solo; Mrs. Wheeler gave a paper on
the History and Foundation of the
Grange; J. B. Hamer gave a talk on
good roads, which was of special interest; then followed singing by the
German Quartette; Mrs A. Ambrosier
recited "Gerry the Eewsboy," this
was indeed highly appreciated; a solo
was then rendered by Miss Alice
Austin. The house shook with applause when John Shroeder and F ed
Bauer presented the dialogue "How
the shoemaker pulled the tooth;"
Jermrn Quartette "Die Wacht am
Rhein ' was given and .T. W. Schaeffer
gaye a selection "The coming of the
white man."
Albertis Ambrosier had a fine paper
which advocated a college education
for the farmer's boy; This opened a
spirited discussion on "Which would
be of greater beneilt t<p the farmer's
boy eighty acres of land or a college
education?" Most were in favor of
college education and some maintained that one was as essential as the
other. Mrs. A. Ambrosier gave a
select recitation, "viatilda's got a
beau."   This en-ied the program.
It was decided that the Pomona
Grange wou d hold, its second meeting
'with the Winterfleld Grange, viay6th.

GLARE BOY'S HEROISM.
Marvellous   Deeds   of   Sixteen
Year Old James Wing.
From Germfask in the upper peninsula a letter tells of remarkable bravery with good judgement shown bj
James V\ ing, a lad sixteen, son of Mr.
and virs Lanson w ing, who not lonj.
since was a member of thecity schools,
in saving his uncle and aunt, Mr. and
>irs. Edwin .Holbroolc. former residents of Clare and nj.v ibout eighty
years of age, from fire ;md then by
heroic work saving them horn Ireezing
to death when the temperature was
forty below zero.
Young Wing was staying with Mr.
and Mrs. Holbrookona timber claim
some distance out of Germfask. The
fire had a good start before they, woke
up. The lad managed- to carry his
pants on his arm as he got out through
the window but the old people had
nothing on but their night clothes.
They were determined to go back into
the Hre and the boy had literally to
fight t]hem to keep them out. Even
then the old man got into the fire,
burning him so badly that he fainted,
and was carried to the baSrn. Young
Wing then went back a*hd saved a
couplt* mattresses and placed the old
couple between the.two. 'Next warming himself by the fire and tieing an
old cap on one foot with a cotton sock
on the other and only a little clothing
on, he went through the deep snow to
an old hunters shack a mile distant.
There thawing out his feet by rubbing
them with snow, he got some rubbers,
socks, caps and bedding and getting
back to. the old people. Wrapped them
as* best he could* placed them on a
sleigh between the mattresses and
took th. m seven miles to town. Thej
were a sorry looking company thai
drove into town that morning, both
the boy and the old man scorched and
fingers and toes and some other parts
of the body frozen. -
The hei'o of this errible experience
will be alright -in a few days as will
also Mrs. Holbroolc bub a telegram tb
Lanson Wing ynsurduy stated that vir..
Holbroolc was at the point of death.
