SAD EVENTS OF THE WEEK

Death entered homes of many of our respected citizens.  If no respecter of
person.  List includes some who had been here many years:

J.H. Drahner, well known resident of this village, died at the home of his
daughter in North Oxford, of influenza followed by pneumonia.  He and his wife
had gone there to care for the daughter's family, when they all became ill of
the disease.  Mrs. Drahner and Mr. Drahner following on Feb. 16.

Jacob D. Drahner was born March 16, 1852, near Schenectady, New York, and came
to Michigan with his parents, the late John and Susan Drahner, in the fall of
that year, settling on a farm in West Oxford.  Spending his life near Oxford
until last spring, he then disposed of his farm and moved to town.  Mr. Drahner
was married to Effie Van Wagoner Sept. 2, 1880.  To them were born two children,
Clyde A. who died in 1899, and Lorene E., wife of the late Albert Jewell.  There
