PORTLAND - Death of Geo. W. Burns, An Old Resident.

Portland, June 25. -George W. Byron, quite a noble resident, died here this 
morning. He came to Michigan in 1868 and has been a useful citizen in his 
way. He made and used the first snow plough ever run on our sidewalks. The 
village was comparatively small and he asked and received one dollar for 
each days work. He was familiarly called doctor, though his patients were 
only horses, one of which by a bite occasioned the loss of the doctor's arm. 
He left no relatives in the state with the exemption of his widow.
