TOLD OF EARLY DAYS In his later years Dr. Leininger enjoyed telling of his experiences in Gladwin county during the lumber days. He was a truly pioneer physician - often traveling many miles on horseback through the woods to call on sick or injured patients. Like many physicians, in those days, he was a registered pharamacist and operated a drug store in conjunction with his pratice. His first store was located on the southwest corner of Silverleaf and Cedar in about the same location as the present M-18 Restaurant.

Funeral services will be held tomorrow at 2:30 p.m. at the Church of the Brethren, three miles south of Beaverton. Burial will be in Highland cemetery, Gladwin. Judge Long's death ended more than 30 years of service to Gladwin county. Although only 54 years old, he had served six years as Probate Judge and nine years as County Poor Commissioner. As a citizen of Tobacco township he has occupied every township officie wiht the exception of the road commissionership. The editorial on page 2 was printed before news of Judge Long's death had reached The Record office. Born April 14, 1880, in Drake county, Ohio, Andrew Long attended the county rural schools near his home. After graduation from high school he spent five years at Manchester College in Indiana. He came to Gladwin county in 1904 and began teaching school in the rural schools in Tobacco township. He was married to Miss Weltha Miller on January 15, 1905, and together they cleared the 80 acres in section 8 of Tobacco township that has since been their farm home. From 1905 to 1914 he was variously occupied in teaching school in Tobacco township and the Beaverton public schools. He gave up his teaching in the latter year to concentrate on his farming activity. Worked in Bank Shortly after the war he was employed as a clerk at the State Bank of Beaverton. He workde off and on at the bank for several years. The Reverand Harvey Hartsough who will preach the Judge's funeral service tomorrow is a lif-long fried of the Longs and was his room-mate when they attended Manchester College. Reverend Hartsough makes his home in North Manchester, Indiana. Surviving the Judge are his wife, Mrs. Weltha Long; two sons, Lowell Long, who is teaching school at Wanatah, Indiana, and Wendell Long, a student at Central State Teachers College; one daughter, Miss Betty Miriam, a teacher at Battle Creek; and a grandchild; Leon Eugene Long, son of Lowell. Gladwin County Record dated 01-09/1935 Column - 7 Page - 1 ANDREW LONG Andrew Long, son of John and Nancy Long, was born near Greenville, Drake county, Ohio, April 14, 1880, and departed this life at his home near Beaverton January 8, 1935, aged 54 years, 8 months and 24 days. Andrew was the fourth son on a family of eight children. His early education was obtained in the district school, and on completing the courses there he decided to continue his education in Manchester College. Here he spent parts of five years. While at college he met Miss Weltha Miller of North Manchester, Ind., who later became his wife. They were married in their new home at Beaverton January 15, 1905. A couple years later they moved to the farm which they had purchased, and where they have since spent all their married years. Three children came to bless this home, two sons and a daughter. For nine years Mr. Long was a teacher in the high school and in the grades of Beaverton and vicinity, and for 15 years he served as a member of the Beaverton school board. For more than 20 years he constantly held offices of public trust in the township and county. Six years ago he was elected to the office of Judge of Probate for Gladwin County, which office he held with increasing favor until his resignation was accepting January 3. While holding this office he endeavored to make friends with every person with whom he came in contact. Especially did he feel a parental interest in every boy and girl in the county. While at Manchester College he united with the Church of the Brethren and to this faith he ever remaining loyal. He was one of the early members of the Beaverton congregation, and was active in building the present church house. He was faithful in attendance at services, and took an active part in the work of the church and Sunday school. Often in the earlier days this meant some sacrifice; a long drive with horse and buggy through cold and strom, or walking when the drive seemed impossible. During the past year his family noticed with increasing concern that his health was gradually declining, yet with his characteristic determination he pressed on, only to be compelled at last to succumb to the dread disease that held him a prisoner. On October 12 he took his bed, form which he never rose, even for an hour. Twice he received the holy anointing and throughout his illness he was ever hopeful that God would heal his stricken body. But God had other and better plans for him, and after an illness of nearly five months he peacefully obeyed the summons which came for him on Tuesday at the noon hour. Perhaps after all, the greatest work of his life was the example he left to us of patient endurance in the midst of fiery afflication. Mr. Long possessed primarily a home-loving soul. Those who lived in his home knew best his gentleness, his beautiful patience and self-denial and his constant concern for the family circle. They were the center about which all his life revolved. He had a keen interest in business and in the affairs of state. A wholesome optimism pervaded his life, which made his judgements ever lean to the side of mercy. He is probably the only alumnus of Manchester College to choose the office of judge. He is survived by his wife, his three children, Lowell of Wanatah, Ind.; Betty Miriam and Wendell at home; and one little grandson Leon Eugene Long. The death of Mr. Long is the first break in the home circle of eight children: William of Mt. Carroll, Ill.; Harvey of Mt. Morris, Ill.; Jesse of Dunseith, N. D.; J. B. of Greenville, Ohio; Samuel of Bradford, Ohio; Cyrus of Fontana, Calif.; and Mrs. Mary Irick of Flora, Indiana. All of these visited him during his illness, except the two brothers who live so far distant. May we sum up his virtues in these familiar lines: His life was gentle, and the elements, So mixed in him that Nature might stand up, And say to all the world, "This was a man." Funeral services were conducted on Thursday at 2:30 from the Church of the Brethren by the Rev. H. L. Hartsough of North Manchester, Ind., a former college friend of Mr. Long. Burial was in Highland cemetery at Gladwin.

Oh, let us think of all she said, And all the kind advice she gave, And let us do it now she's dead, And sleeping in her grave. With aching hearts and tearful eyes. We laid her down to rest; Yet while we wept we felt that she Was sleeping with the blest. No sickness, grief, nor sighing Can dim her features now; A crown of dazzling glory Shall rest upon her brow. Oh, let us meet that wife and mother In that bright world on high, Where all is joy and gladness, Where pleasures never die. Mother has obeyed her Saviour's call, He who suffered for us all. The angels took her by the hand And led her to that better land. Mother now has left us lonely. For no longer could she wait; But when we shall enter heaven She will open wide the gate. Our dearest mother now has left us And her loss we deeply feel; But it is God who has bereft us; He can all our sorrows heal.

The camps were at Lake George. The logs were put into the Muskegon river and floated to Muskegon. The banking ground was near the place where the village of Temple was built when the Ann Arbor railroad was completed through that section several years later. Automatice couplers and air brakes were not in use during the logging days, and nearly all trainmen sustained the loss of one or more fingers. Mr. Matthews was an exception, although he was in many perilous adventures, such as running into trees across the tracks, cars leaving the rails, etc. Mr. Matthews had many interesting experiences to relate of the day of the "link and pin," as railroad men term the period prior to the automatic couplers. Among them is bringing the first locomotive for the Scott-Gerrish railroad up the Muskegon river on a raft by poling. The current was swift and made the passage up stream very slow. In addition ice formed on the poles until it had to be removed with axes. The engine was kept fired up to give the men a chance to warm their hands and thaw the ice from their clothing. Many of the men gave up, but new ones took their places and they finally succeeded in placing the engine on the rails, and she was soon puffing away, with wood for fuel, hauling logs to the river. Mr. Gerrish started another railroad running from Saginaw bay, near Pinconning, out into the forest, to Mt. Forest. Freemans (now called Bentley) Moore's Junction and Ogden. Mr. Matthews finally obtained a position on this road and remained in the employ of the different companies running the road until the Michigan Central purchased the road and has been employed with that company since. Mr. Matthews has a record for courteous and efficient service, as many Gladwin people who have ridden with him for years can testify.

Gladwin County Record dated 07-18/1951 Column - 6 Page - 1 BABY MCCLARY (10 APRIL 1890 - 27 APRIL 1890) BARBARA (SHAFFER) MCCLARY (20 AUG 1854 - 9 OCT 1895) HUGH MCCLARY (24 APRIL 1847 - 4 MAY 1913) "FULLY RIPE FOR THE HARVEST" DEATH CLAIMS MORE OLD-TIME RESIDENTS, INCLUDING HUGH MC-CLARY, JOHN MURRAY AND FORMER JUDGE COBB. Another name is stricken form the ever lessening roll of our old settlers, one who for many years had been active in the affairs of our city and county. The stern Reaper found Hugh McClary"as a shock fully ripe for the harvest." Death came to him peacefully Sunday last at his home in this city, after a few days' illness from a stroke of paralysis. Mr. McClary came to Gladwin in June 1881, from Mt. Pleasant, where he was engaged in the implement business for a time. Here he succeeded Conlogue & Cole, dealers in agricultural implements who built the store recently occupied by M. H. Wright, which burned the first of the year. Mr. McClary was in business in this store for some years, then built across the street and moved to the new quaters, retaining the old building for rent. In 1900 his building on the north side of Cedar avenue burned, and he built in it's place a commodions structure in which he was engaged in business alone until a few years ago, when he formed a co-partnership with L. Burt under the firm name of McClary & Burt to which Woodward & Burt recently became successors, doing business in the store last built and used by Mr. McClary. Of excellent habits and fine moral character Mr. McClary retained good health, with a few exceptions, and continued active in his accustomed pursuits to a ripe - age. He was a man who united sound sense with strong convictions, and a candid out-spoken temper. He had filled the various stations of life, and filled them well. As a lifelong membe of the Catholic church he was faithful and devoted to his faith. His best monument will be the good report that he has left behind him in the community he has lived many years. In politics he was an old time Democrat, and although in the minority party in Gladwin county he was elected to the office of probate judge in 1888 by a nice vote. He also served as one of the first - alderman of the city and in other minor positions but he was not a seeker after political honors. However he was always ready to devote his time to the public welfare, and was counted on to assist in all movements for the improvement and growth of the community. Mr. McClary was born in New Hampshire, April 24, 1847, and at the age of 17 moved to Rutland and Vermont, where he engaged in farming. From Vermont he came to Mt. Pleasant and a few years thereafter to Gladwin. He was united in marriage June 25, 1889, to Miss Barbara Shaffer, who died in 1895. To the union three children were born, of which two sons John and Milton, grown to young manhood, are living. In 1906 he married Mrs. Dutcher, who survives him. Funeral services were largely attended Wednesday at 9 a.m. at the Church of Sacred Heart. Rev. W. Miller officiating. The pallbearers were John Weir, Sylvester Raymond, F. E. Atchinson, Isaac Foster, J. D. Smith and Allen Armstrong. Interment in Highland cemetery. The business houses of the city were closed during the services, and a large procession of citizens followed the body to the grave. As a token of respect Mayor E. A. Coan made public the following: IN MEMORIAM The city of Gladwin mourns the loss of Hugh McClary, one of its pioneer business men who departed this life May 4, 1913, at his home in this city. The forenoon of Wednesday, May 7 next, has been set apart for the performance of the burial rites of the departed. He was ever diligent in the promotion of the prosperity of his home town, active in its advancement and development, and in his daily life honorable and conscientious. It is therefore fitting that his friends and neighbors should pay respect to his memory. I do therefore request that all business cease and all business houses and public offices within the city be closed during forenoon of said day while the citizens of Gladwin bow with respect of the bier, of who so creditably carried the burdens of life.

Father Van Colen delivered an eloquent address in which he paid high tribute to the patriotism of the deceased. Photo Insert. WILLIAM T. MCKENNA Showing the lofty ideals of William McKenna as a soldier, the following extracts from a letter to his mother written by him while on the firing line in France, and publishe in the Gladwin County Record in August, 1918, were read by Father Van Colen: "The U.S. is no longer behind the screen, but is now in the thickest of the fight and daily adding new glory to our glorious past. All America can well be proud of their boys whose privilege it was to be at Cntigny and thereabout: of course some fell, but their lives are not lost, merely invested in freedom's cause, and I know that all who did make the greatest sacrifice that man can, die so willingly, and America may feel sure that thousands of more over here will do so as willingly if it be necessary." Speaking of cruelties---"but, over here we are closer to it and can ourselves see what the noble French and their allies have suffered at least have seen enough to make our fighting blood run faster even than it did the day we volunteered. I do not see how nay young man who knows right from wrong can sit back while daily his fellow countrymen fight, yeaw, and even die for that liberty and freedom which all in America enjoy and which we as a nation will give to the entire world for all times. "A few days ago it was my privilege to attend a very impressive military funeral. In fact, it was the most impressive sight, I ever expect to witness. In a village graveyard, within the range of enemy's guns, two soldiers were laid to rest; one was a comrade and one an enemy (a Boche) who had a few hours before killed him adn in turn he himself was killed. A priest in uniform said the same words over both, the same firing squad fired the military salute for both. If we cannot respect a live enemy (boche) we can show our respect for a dead one even if we know that if we should fall within their lines no such respect would be given us. but you may be sure that we shall always be men at least. Representatives of American Legion posts at Gladwin and Beaverton occupied a prominent place in the assemblage, and participated in military services at the grave in charge of Lieutenant Budge of Beaverton, in addition to services conducted by Father Van Colen. The pallbearers were B. C. Wilmot, Orlen Wagar, J. C. Shaffer, Eldon Capling, John F. Englehardt comrades in the World war. William T.

G. 128th Infantry, A. E. F., in which he saw service on the battlefield of Chateau Thiery, under command of Major Gansser, who visits to Gladwin has given him special praise. After returning from the war in May 1919 Mr. McKenna spent some time with his mother and the family in Gladwin, and organized Ralph Wright post of American Legion here, of which he was the first commander and at the time of his death honorary commander. His health failing him he went to New Mexico for relief in November, 1919, and at the time of his death was in the hospital at Fort Bayard. His father, John F. McKenna of Flint, sisters Miss Mary E.

Mr. Parker was a man whose positive and upright character and intelligence will leave a lasting impression on the community in which he lived. In 1880 he became a resident of Grout township and continued as such until his death. Forl half a century he lived on the same farm and there his children grew to manhood and womanhood.

Mr. Pike had been a resident of Gladwin since 1886 and was well known throughout the county, particulary to member of the Masonic order, in which he was a zealous worker. He was made a Mason at Athens, Ohio, when 21 years of age, and was transferred to Gladwin lodge Aug. 26, 1890, being a pioneer of the craft in Gladwin, assisting in organization of Gladwin lodge F. and A. M. in 1890. of which he served as worshipful master seven terms. Through Mr. Pike's efforts Gladwin chapter R.A.M. was also organized in 1912, of which he was the first high priest, and was filling the position for the third term at the time of his death, having come to the rescue when the chapter was on the decline, and being instrumental in leaving it in a good healthy condition.

Marilyn June Pike, who lived on Lot 65 in the Lakeview Village Tailer Park at 385 W. Brown St., was pronounced dead at the scene. Authorities said she was overcome by smoke and an autospy report showed she died of smoke inhalation. Authorities said Mrs. Pike was home alone at the time of the fire. Her husband, Arden "Red" Pike, a partime barber in Beaverton, was at work. "From all indicationgs, it appears the fire was accidental," said Detective Brad Lower of the Sheriff's Department. "It's a real tragedy." Officials said the fire began in the livingroom area about 1:30 p.m. The manager of the trailer park, Douglas Baker, and two others who were living nearby, weret the first to arrive at the scene. They attempted to enter the mobile home, but were driven back by the smoke and flames. When firemen from the Beaverton Area Fire Department arrived, flames were shooting out of the livingroom window and the trailer was totally engulfed, said fire chief Don Schaffer. Firemen believe Mrs. Pike was on the couch and was awakened by the smoke alarm in the home. From evidence at the scene, she apparently was trying to fill a pan of water in the sink to extinguish the flames. "We found the sauce pan in the sink and the cold water turned on." Schaffer said, "From the location where she was found and the amount of smoke she inhaled, we speculated she was trying to put the fire out." Detective Sgt. Jim Bush of the State Fire Marshall Division in Saginaw, was called in to investigate. Also assisting at the scene were the Gladwin State Police, Beaverton City Police and the Gladwin Emergency Medical Services of Midland Hospital. Investigators believe the fire originated in or behind the couch in the livingroom, but the cause has not been determined. The fire remains under investigation by the state fire marshall. Investigators were at the scene for more than 10 hours. The trailer and its contents were a total loss and there is some insurance, firemen said. The Pikes had lived in the mobile home about 8 years, Schaffer said. This is the first fire fatality in the county since four Beaverton brothers lost their lives when fire swept throught their Beaverton Township home March 16, 1984.

Robinson returned home Wednesday of last week just after dark, form a visit with her daughter, Mrs. R. J. Lucas, she missed her husband, Captain J. H. Robinson, and upon search of the premises found him lying dead in the chicken coop near the house. He had been left alone during the afternoon, and had been dead a few hours apparently. The discovery was a severe shock to Mrs. Robinson and the neighbors, for Mr. Robinson had been in usual health when she left him. His death is attributed to heart disease, to which he was subject. His death removes a familier figure, and one who will be greatly missed. Always cheerful and of a genial disposition he cast a ray of sunshine on all within his circle. He was active in G.A.R. circles and at soldiers reunions, and with his drum and good nature added life and enjoyment to these gatherings. John Henry Robinson was born in Cayuga county, New York, Feb. 9, 1843, and died at his home in Gladwin, April 1, 1914. Mr. Robinson lived at home until the Civil war, when he enlisted with the Third New York artillery and served his country three years and six months, receiving an honorable discharge. Mr. Robinson was married June 13, 1866 to Miss Emma A. D. Sweet in New York, and lived there until the fall of '82 when he moved with his family to Caro, Mich., and in the spring of 1899 moved to Gladwin, where he has since resided. Three children Mrs. R. J. Lucas of Gladwin, Mrs. Charles Sursaw of Rose City and Charles Robinson of Edenville, with Mrs. Robinson and nine grandchildren, remain to mourn their loss. Funeral services were conducted by Rev. J. W. Hayward at his late home Saturday at 10 a.m. and the body was laid to rest by G.A.R. comrades in Highland cemetery.
