-Mrs. F. P. RICHARDSON, of South Branch, left a tub of boiling water standing on two chairs. She returned to find the tub overturned and her 2 year old son scalded so terribly that he died. (11 Sep 1890)-During the months of sickness in our family, in the past winter, while we were quarantined for Diphtheria, and when three of our children succumbed to that dread disease, the families of our neighbors, F. P. RICHARDSON, James Burton and James H. BURTON, rendered such assistance as will never be forgotten, and for which they will ever receive our grateful acknowledgment and thanks. At such a time, such kindness is beyond price, and beyond the power of words to express.
MR. AND MRS. F. D. BARBER. (15 Mar 1894)-DIED-At the home of her grandfather, F. P. RICHARDSON, of South Branch, April 28th, Iva Aven, youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Willis SHELLENBARGER, aged one year and three months.
Why do you mourn for Iva?
She's reached that better land.
She's singing with the angels
Near the throne at God's right hand.You know that now forever.
She's from sin and sorrow free.
Look up and smile, dear parents,
Your Iva waits for thee,She's waiting now up yonder,
With those that have gone before,
She will be the first to meet you,
When you reach that other shore. (6 May 1897)-Died-At her home in South Branch, January 27, Mrs. Fayette P. RICHARDSON, aged 74 years.

FOR COUNTY TREASURER.
There is no local office in the gift of our people of which the candidate or incumbant is more closely scrutinized, than Treasurer. First his honesty, then his capability and his knowledge of the peculiar conditions connected with the affairs of his office. It is not merely the receiving and disbursement of money, any honest man could do that in a satisfactory manner, but there is one of the most complicated and intricate set of accounts extant, in the matters pertaining to taxation. The accounts between the county and state, between the county and the several townships, keeping each fund in a separate account and all in balance, requires a man thoroughly conversant with the details of the business. Such a man is placed in nomination in the person of John HANNA of Beaver Creek. A pioneer of the county, a thoroughly practical farmer, an educated business man, who has served his township repeatedly as Clerk, Treasurer and Supervisor, and has served two terms as Register of Deeds, and deputy County Clerk, and deputy County Treasurer, thus becoming familiar with all the routine work. As a patriotic citizen he served a three months term with the 85th Ohio Vol., then coming to Michigan reinlisted in the 11th Cavalry, and served to the close of the rebellion. Always a man among men, he will honor the office to which he will be elected. (15 Oct 1896)-Mrs. John HANNA and son Otto, of Beaver Creek, were in town last Thursday. (17 Jun 1897)
-MARRIED-At Beaver Creek, Saturday, March 10th, John HANNA and Miss Huldah CHARTERS, of Toledo, Ohio. David RAYMOND, J. P., officiating. (22 Mar 1900)
-John HANNA, of Beaver Creek, has sold his farm to J. C. FAILING, and we understand is going south. He has been an active factor in Crawford county, and will be greatly missed. (10 May 1900)
-John HANNA came up from Toledo, where he is now living, last Friday, for a visit with his father and mother, in Beaver Creek. (5 Jul 1900)
-CARD OF THANKS.
We desire to extend our most sincere thanks to the many friends and neighbors who gave to us aid and sympathy during the long illness, and at the death and burial of our wife and mother. Our appreciation of the unremitting kindness cannot be expressed in words.

-Our citizens will remember Miss Oriska HAVERFIELD, a stepdaughter of Col. WORDEN, who resided here for some time while the Col. was connected with the U. S. Land Office, and who was an expert musician. After leaving here she continued her musical studies, in this country and in Paris, where she was married to Chas. W. GLOVER of Ypsilanta, but was soon divorced. She next appeared on the stage at Wonderland in Detroit, is now married again, and has sued Glover for $10,000 a year alimony. She is a bright woman and well advertised, but her tastes are such that we doubt if she would be a success as the wife of a mossback farmer. (27 Sep 1900)
