Death of a Former Resident.

  Thomas Mulberry, a former resident of this city, died at Sandwich, 
Ontario, on the 11th instant, aged about 34 years.  He was born in 
Philadelphia, where he lived until about twelve years of age, when his 
parents moved to Altoona, where he stayed until he was about twenty-
one, learning and working at the trade of a machinist.  He then went to 
Kansas City, where he stayed three years.  From there he went to Grand 
Rapids.  When the Tioga company commenced business in that city he was 
engaged as the machinist and engineer of the company, and remained with 
them in that capacity until about a year ago.  Much of the time during 
the last three or four years he had only a general supervision of the 
mills and machinery, having been engaged in the drug business.  About 
eight years since he was attacked with heart disease, from which he 
apparently recovered for awhile, but which finally resulted fatally.  
Deceased was an honored member of the Knights Templar and Knights 
Pythias, and was respected by all who knew him.
