During this period at times strong hopes were entertained of his recovery, his life apparently wavering in the balance, but the disease proved too formidable and baffled the best efforts of his medical attendants. His departure seems sad from the fact the he had just entered upon life’s realities with all the bright hopes and expectations of youth. He had been a resident of Ionia for the past 8 years and had formed many warm friends by his genial nature and winning manners, who deeply sympathize with the widow in this her latest affliction, they having lost their only child but a few weeks ago.
