Hugh O. Hamblin
"FATAL ACCIDENT IN WALES - Wales - Last Wedneday William Lashbrooks was engaged in pulling stumps for C.S. King, in the town of Wales. During a little shower he stopped working, and Hugh O. Hamblin, Mr. Lashbrook's father-in-law, who was asssisting him, crept under a stump suspended on the stump machine about four feet high. Mr. Lashbrooks remonstrated with him, telling him there was danger, but Mr. Hamblin did not heed him and insisted on his coming under also. Shortly after a portion of the stump that the chains were fastened under split off, letting the stump fall, killing Mr. Hamblin instantly. Considerable sand had adhered to the stump, and as it was sandy underneath, there was not a bruise or mark upon his body and no look of pain upon his features. It is to be hoped that this will be a warning to all engaged in the same work. A watch dog highly prized by the family of C.S. King was also killed."

Ivah Harkness
"Mr. and Mrs. Samuel A. Harkness have the sympathy of the whole community in the sorrow that has come to them through the death of their daughter Ivah. Her illness was comparatively brief, lasting some two or three weeks only. Everything that medical skill and faithful nursing could do was done, but the malady was too strong, and the end came on Sunday afternoon. Ivah is the second daughter Mr. and Mrs. Harkness have lost within a little more than a year. She was but nineteen years of age, and her death seems doubly sad in view of the fact that she was to be married in two weeks. She was a member of the Congregational church, and an active worker in the Y. P. S. C. E., where she will be greatly missed. Unassuming in her manner, kindly and considerate in her disposition, with a smile and a pleasant greeting for every one, Ivah many many friends, who will long cherish her memory. The funeral services were held at the St. James Hotel on Tuesday afternoon, and were largely attended."

Frances M. Harrington
"Frances M. Harrington died Friday morning, January 6th, at the home of her son, H. M. Harrington, in Ann Arbor, Michigan, aged 79 years and 10 months. Her maiden name was Frink, being one of a family of nine children, two of whom survive her - a brother, Marshal D. Frink, of Port Huron and a sister, Mrs. Baker, of Chenango county, New York, living near the old homestead. Mrs. Harrington's early life was spent in New York state, where she was married to James S. Harrington, moving to St. Clair about forty-five years ago. Of late years her home has been with her only son, Herbert. By those who knew her well during the last years, Mrs. Harrington will always be remembered for her strong personality. It is very seldom given to men and women to maintain to as late a period in life the ready with, the keen insight into and the comprehension of life that was hers. Being, as the aged needs must by, merely a distant onlooker on life's battle, she caused in the mind of those who were about her no little wonder at the clearness with which she was and comprehended the progress of things. Never aggressive in assertion, never imperative in wish, she was till endowed with an energy and an activity which by example, but unconsciously, taught every one with whom she came in contact to do his duty. Her kindness, and kind she was, was not the kindness that spoils, that leaves the recipient weaker and more ready to need it the next time. Her eye was fixed on goals more distant, not on the immediate present, and when she helped, it was not so much to give - an easy and useless helping, but to make stronger. Though just and exacting, she was possessed of an abundance of cheerfulness that made her presence and conversation always cheering, and whatever were the trials and vicissitudes that came, she was cheerfully ready to take her share and silently to do her best. Though entirely unconscious of it, she exerted a very positive influence for good over her surroundings. Her burial took place in St. Clair Saturday morning, in the presence of relatives and friends, Mr. Blackford conducting the service at the grave."

David Hart
"David Hart, one of St. Clair county's oldest pioneers died suddenly of heart disease in the store of Hart & Koenig on Monday. He had been in his usual health and had just been talking with the junior member of the firm when without warning he fell from his chair and died without a struggle. Mr. Hart was born at some place on Long Island in the state of New York, July 7th, 1807, and when about three years of age his parents moved to Tempkins county in the same state where he lived until 1836, when he came to Michigan with an unmarried sister and together they took up a tract of two hundred and eighty acres of land in the township of China about six miles from St. Clair Here they lived and toiled together, converting the wild forest into a fertile and attractive farm. On the death of his sister about fourteen years ago Mr. Hart gave up the active duties of farm life and since that time has rented his farm and made his home with his nephews, John M. and Oscar. With the exception of a chronic heart trouble which finally resulted in his death, but which seldom gave him serious distress he always enjoyed excellent health, and was noted in his younger days for the amount of labor he could perform. He was a man of the most correct habits, greatly attached to his home and his near relatives, very charitable in an unobtrusive way, but with very little taste for politics and an absolute aversion for office holding. He was a genial companion and was very highly esteemed by all who knew him. The funeral services were held at the Congregational church yesterday afternoon, the Rev. Mr. Millard officiating and were attended by a large number of the residents of St. Clair and the adjoining townships."

Oswald S. Hart
"Oswald S. Hart, to whose death reference was made last week, was born in the state of New Jersey about forty years ago. When very young he came with his parents to Michigan, and has lived here ever since. From early boyhood he has lived in this city, making his home with General and Mrs. Brown. He was for many years in the employ of the late John L. Agens, but has been in business for himself. The aged father of Mr. Hart survives him. 'Oswald,' as he was familiarly called was a general favorite. Quiet and unassuming in his manner, and somewhat reserved, he yet seemed to be everybody's friend. There was that about him that inspired confidence and trust; and those who gave him their confidence found him always loyal and true. As a business man Mr. Hart was careful and prudent in his methods, and attentive to all the details of his work. His customers found him always courtous and obliging. He was a member of Palmer Lodge, Knights of Pythias, and at the time of his death held the office of Master of the Exchequer. He was also attached to the Uniform Rank of that Order, and was buried with Pythian honors, a column of his Rank under Capt. Ingles acting as escort. The funeral services, which were held in the congregational church on Thursday last were largely attended by members of Palmer Lodge and by citizens generally Rev. Mr. Duff paid expressive tribute to the worth of Mr. Hart.
