Another Pioneer Gone

	Mr. Andrew C. Day, who has been a citizen of this village continuously since
1836, died at his home, at the corner of Front and Portage streets, yesterday
morning, Nov. 11, aged within a few days of 81 years.  Mr. Day came with his
family to Buchanan in 1836, and bought of Leonard Madron his claim, with a small
house and a few other effects.  The claim being what now forms a greater portion
of the south part of the village of Buchanan, and known as Day's addition. He
has been actively connected with the business of the town, being for a number of
years a half owner of the Day & Rough Wagon Factory, and at different times in
the mercantile business. There remains of his family, his widow and two
daughters, Mrs. J.P. Binns and Mrs. J.M. Mathews,  both of whom are now in this
place, arriving here just before the death of their father.  The funeral
services will be held at his late home to-morrow (Friday) afternoon at 1 o'clock.

Deceased was a native of Connecticut, came to Buchanan in 1836 and bought the
claim of Leonard Madron on a portion of which he made his home up to the time of
his dath.  He and John Hamilton erected the first grist-mill in the village
about 1819.  Since that time he has been engaged in the  dry goods and grocery
business and later in the manufacture of wagons.  Recently he relinquished
business and atended[sic] only to his farm and for a year or two has been
