drugstore of J. G. Johnson & Co. will be opened to the public about May
1st.
Mrs. Isabella W. Harsha, wife of W. F. Harsha, died on Monday evening at her
husband;s residence in Traverse City. Mrs. Harsha had been in delicate
health for some time, and her death, though a sudden shock at the last, had
not been entirely unanticipated. She was a lady whose life was in her
home, and whose womanly and retiring disposition prevented a large and
general acquaintance, but all who were in intimate contact with her were won
by her sweet character and lovable disposition to a friendship
which was warm and deep, and her death is deeply regretted. She
left no children of her own but had been for many years a second mother to
the orphan children of a deceased brother, who are again left motherless.
Her own mother, Mrs. Agnes Cameron, of Cresswell, Antrim County, a sister in
Duluth, two sisters, Misses Agnes and Jessie Cameron in Traverse City, and
four brothers in Antrim county besides a devoted husband are left to mourn
her loss. Her remains were taken to Elk Rapids for interment on
Wednesday morning.

It is seldom that the death of a child causes such a feeling of widespread
grief and regret in a town as large as this as was created by the sudden
departure of little Clara Hubbell last
week. |
She
was well and happy in all the exuberance of bright and sunny childhood on
Wednesday, was taken ill on Thursday morning and died on Saturday afternoon.
Among her little school friends and playmates grief was intense and many
older persons beyond the circle of personal friends of the family, who had
been won by the sweet and winsome character of the child, shared in the
sorrow of those to whom she was so dear. She was the daughter of L. W.
Hubbell, a former prominent citizen of Traverse City, and on the removal of
her father's family to Springfield, Mo., accompanied them there.
A year ago, she returned with her grandparents, D. C. Leach and wife, and
has been an inmate of their family since.
Strongly attached to her Traverse City
home and friends, she was still looking forward with happy anticipation to
going to her own home when vacation came, but instead she has come to an
eternal vacation from all earthly cares and grief, and gone to the
everlasting home to which, though so young, a christian child her steps had
been tending. A long line of
carriages formed the sad funeral procession on sabbath afternoon, and many
an eye unused to weeping was filled with tears as the little one was laid in
her last resting place. Much deep sympathy is felt and expressed for
her parents and sisters in her far away home, as well as for the inmates of
the home in Traverse City where her death has left a vacancy which will
never be filled, and caused a grief which will not cease to be until the
happy reunion which will come in "the sweet bye and bye."

Wm. B. Thacker and family arrived last week from Warren county, Ohio and
will make Traverse City their home. The Lebanon, Ohio, Star,
notices Mr. Thacker's removal from that county and has this nice word to
say:
"Mr. Wm. B. Thacker, of Clear Creek Township, bids
farewell to old Warren county today and starts for his new home at Traverse
City, Mich. Mr. Thacker, we believe, has been a resident of this
county all his life and has held the office of clerk of his township for
several years. He is an honest, straight-forward man, and a zealous
republican, and his removal will be a loss to the county and the community
in which he has lived for so many years".
