this is not so and that Green denies

been looking over the country for the
past two weeks and last Monday made
a purchase. He bought fifty acres in
Wise township of Mrs. Maggie Tubbs,
and in coming in possession of this
property he has one ot the finest
orchards in this section, and the whole
piece of land may be considered a
garden spot. The farm is located two
miles south and four miles east of
Clare, and though Mr. Woten has not
located in Clare county we are glad to
welcome him here as Clare will be his
marketing town. He is a hustling,
progressive farmer, and is quite up to
the limit. He takes posession next
October. The purchase was made
through the real estate agency of E.
G. Welch. If you have land to dispose of get our terms.

Owing to the fact that none of tbe
family are at present in the city, we
are unable to net correct data for an
extended obituary notice of our friend
and townsman, John C. Bockafellow,
who passed away last week, so we rely
upon information of those who best
knew him.
Deceased was about seventy-five
years old, and had been a resident ot
Clare for more than a-quarter of a century. His wife died yome six years
ago. Two children survive: A. H.
Bockafellow of Boswell, New Mexico,
and Mrs. H. J. Stroupe of Grand Blanc.
Mr. Bockafellow was postmaster of
Clare at one time and held a large
number of public offices of trust, acd
being the careful business man that
he Was, discharged the du Dies of each
in so credible a manner as to gain/ the
confidence of his fellow citizens. As
late as 1899 hewas elected supervisor
of the third ward. He was a member
in good standing of the Masonic lodge
here and held the secretaryship of that
body for several years. The past ten
years he was in the insurance business,
but failing health a year ago compelled
him to quit active business and he
sold his agency to G. E. Brenner. He
lived an active life, was a conspicioua
character in the history of Clare and
Clare county, and while nature must
take her course, it is to be regretted
that so useful a life should go out. He
was buried by the Masonic order at
Grand Blanc.
