Andrew McCORMICK
DEATH; An Old Citizen.  Andrew McCormick, Esq., an old and
respected citizen died at his residence on Michigan Street at four o’clock
yesterday morning after a lingering illness of eighteen months.  Mr.
McCormick came to Milwaukee early in 1837, and removed to the
interior.  Being accustomed to city life, rural pursuits proved
uncongenial to his tastes, under these circumstances it is not to be
wondered that he soon returned to the busy haunts of men.  He took up
his abode with us and followed his business of painting.  The people
were not slow to learn his qualifications to manage public business and
as a consequence, he was elected one of the trustees of the village.  He
was also sent to the constitutional convention which assembled in 1848
to draft a state constitution.  He successively filled the Office of Member
of Assembly, Register of Deeds, member of the Common Council and
Justice of the Peace, serving four years as Register and six years as
Councilor.  He was also for a time, proprietor of the Keystone State
Hotel and proved a successful as well as courteous landlord.  His life
has been a busy one.  He filled the various offices to which he was
elevated by his constituents, in an able and creditable manner.  His
funeral will take place from his residence tomorrow afternoon at two
o’clock.
