-By some combination between our Typos; or the work of the office "Devil," the announcement we had written of the birth of a daughter to Mr. and Mrs. Allen B. FAILING the 1st inst., did not appear. We suppose everybody is aware of the fact just the same, and the happy parents are congratulated on every hand, but what bites us is, that our personal congratulation to "Uncle Co." and "Aunt Becky" now Grandpa and Grandma, were cut out. However we are glad to announce that both smilingly survive, and mother and child are doing nicely. (15 Mar 1906)-A. B. FAILING has been offered a position by the new lumber company, in Monroe, La., to run the mercantile department, and wil go there to size the matter up the first of the week, A. E. MICHELSON will remain there as Sec.-Treas'r and general manager. Both of these gentlemen will be missed by our community, but if the move will be to their advantage, they will go with the best wishes of all for their success. (31 Jan 1907)
-A. B. FAILING has got out of the cold having gone to Monroe Louisiana to look over his proposed situation with the Grayling Lumber Co. in that city. (7 Feb 1907)
-Mrs. A. B. FAILING and the baby accompanied A. B., on his journey south as far as Dayton, Ohio, where she will visit with her sister Bessie and the new boy. (7 Feb 1907)
-A. B. FAILING with his wife and boy arrived home from Monroe, La., Tuesday, feeling well and happy. "Al" says he is glad of his experience in the southland, though glad to be here again, where he will be found in the old store, to greet his former friends. (23 Jul 1908)
-A HAPPY TIME.
A large concourse of the relationship of John F. HUM and Allen B. FAILING was entertained to an elaborate dinner last week Wednesday at the home of the latter, Mr. and Mrs. FAILING having arranged the affair in the nature of a reception to their out of town relatives visiting here, and as a general family reunion.,
the affair was a most delightful one, and the host and hostess were complimented on the successful manner in which the details of the occasion were carried out. Both are exponents of true Grayling hospitality, and truly lined up to their reputation as entertainers. After partaking of an elaborate menu, the family dispersed, some of the men going to Portage lake for a little recreation, the balance spending the day in various social diversions and recounting family reminiseences.
Guests from out of town were Mr. W. H. MYERS, Mr. Frank MYERS and family and Mr. and Mrs. Art. OLIVER of Terre Haute, Ind. and Mr. Albert H. WETZ and family of Dayton, Ohio. The others present were Mr. John F. HUM, Harry HUM and families, and Mr. and Mrs. C. W. WIGHT. (20 Aug 1908)-A. B. FAILING's fine three year old driver died last Sunday after twelve hours sickness. (5 Nov 1908)
-DIED-At the family residence in this village, August 31, Emma S. HUM, aged 53 years. Emma S. METZLER was born in Dayton, Ohio, March 21, 1856, and was married to John F. HUM, Sept. 2, 1881. They resided at Frederic in this county for several years before coming to Grayling, where they have resided since 1885. Though she has been an invalid for many years and a great sufferer, her genial disposition has never changed, and she has ever been noted for her jolly friendliness to all with whom she came in contact, which has made her a host of friends who will mourn with the stricken family, for her going, though all must acknowledge that death to her could but be a surcease from intense suffering. She leaves besides her husband, two daughters, Mrs. Cora M. FAILING of this place and Mrs. Bessie WETZ, of Dayton, Ohio, and two sons, Harry, and Clyde, both of this place, two sisters, Mrs. Thomas OLIVER, of Terre Haute, Ind., and Mrs. C. W. WIGHT, of Grayling, and four grand children. The funeral services were conducted at the residence Thursday, Sept. 2. Rev. J. H. FLEMING officiating and the tired body placed in Elmwood Cemetary. A faithful wife, honored mother, and a woman whose hand was ever at the service of those in need has gone to her reward. (2 Sep 1909)
