BIOGRAPHICAL.
Mrs. Lucretia B. HOSKINS, of Frederic, was the daughter of Julias BARTLETT, of New London Co., Conn., where she was born July 11, 1803, in a tavern kept by her father and famous in that section for the hospitality it afforded. While she was yet a little girl the famly moved onto one of the large Van Renselear farms near Albany, N. Y., which was leased for a term of years, and from the profits of which a farm was bought at Stillwater, Saratoga Co., N. Y. In the meantime the little Miss had grown into a buxom lass, full of health and spirit and returned to the old Connecticut home to complete her education by a two years course in the high schools of that place.
In 1824 an arrow from the "Blind God" impaled her heart with that of Dr. Thos. HOSKINS, and they began their happy wedded life at Greenwich N. Y., where they remained for twelve years and then emigrated to the woods of Michigan, stopping a few months at Lima, Washtenaw Co., and for two years at Marion, in Livingston Co., then to Scio, Washtenaw Co. where for 28 years, or till 1866, they lived honored and respected and for ten succeeding years at Lansing when the doctor yielded to the grim foe with whom he had so often battled in his professional life, and the now aged mother was left five children of the eleven she had borne, all happily married. Charles, the eldest, died in 1878 leaving Mrs. Harriet SEYMOUR, of Titusville, Pa., Orlando, at Vineland, N. J., Mrs. M. D. OSBAND and Mrs. F. L. BARKER at that time of Lansing, but now residing at Frederic, in this county. Mrs. BARKER resided with her mother for a year, and on her decision to come to Northern Michigan the mother was induced to accompany her and has since been a member of Mr. BARKER's family, passing her declining years in perfect rest so well deserved by one whose life had been one of untiring industry.
Her 85th birthday was passed last month and yet she is erect as a girl, reads much of the time, though with the aid of glasses. Her hearing is unimpaired and she converses freely of current events, though her memory of the distant is not perfect. She has been from early life an honored member of the M. E. church to which she is greatly attached.
Mrs. HOSKINS is, we believe, the oldest person in Crawford county and having been here eleven years may well be called a pioneer. (23 Aug 1888)-W. T. LEWIS has purchased the store and dwelling formerly occupied by M. D. OSBAND, at Frederic. Mr. OSBAND now lives at Lansing. (28 May 1891)

-MAPLE FOREST.
CORRESPONDENCE OF THE AVALANCHE.
The people of Maple Forest assembled at the school house in district No. 1 on Saturday, 4th inst., to pay their last tribute of respect to the reamins of William W. SHERMAN, who departed this life Thursday, 2d inst., after a lingering illness of four months, aged 41 years, 8 months, 17 days.
The deceased was one of the pioneer settlers of Maple Forest, having moved in here about eight years ago, drawing his goods, with the assistance of Wm. H. and Benj. F. SHERMAN, upon a hand-sled from Forest station through an unbroken forest for the distance of four miles to his homestead. It seems that during his term of service in the army during the rebellion he contracted some disease which has more or less troubled him, and finally ended in death. He leaves a deeply afflicted wife and six children (between two months and fourteen years of age) to mourn his departure. He was fully conscious of the approaching end, and mentioned the fact to those around him, assuring them of the bright visions of the glorious realms of the future. He called his wife's attention to some favorite hymns to be sung, and told her to be sure and remember them for he found them consoling and edifying to the disconsolate hart. As the coffin was opened at the school house for the last view of the remains, the parting was indeed sad; it seemed as though the poor widow could not accept of the destiny that had befallen herself and children, but finally yielded by answering the interrogation - "Shall we meet beyond the River?" - "We shall, with God's help!"
Rev. Wm. PUTNAM preached the sermon from Paul's epistle to the Corinthians, presenting the point that the sting of death is sin, with power and effect.
The widow desires to express her sincere thanks for the many kindnesses shown and bestowed upon her and family during their troubles.
J. J. C. (9 Mar 1882)-DIED.
