WHITMORE RESORTERS

THEY COME AND GO AND FIND MUCH ENJOYMENT.

Whitmore Lake, July 27.- (Special to Daily Argus).- Francis M. Lumbard, aged about 64 years, who died here July 25, lived here nearly his whole life and was universally respected and a special favorite among the young people. He was chorister in the M. E. church as long as we can remember he will be very ranch missed in the church. About three months ago Mr. Lumbard commenced to complain and he gradually grew worse until the climax was reached Tuesday morning. He ate his breakfast and soon after expired without a struggle. His disease was dropsey of the heart and he would bloat up so that he had to be tapped twice some weeks. There is no man in our community that would be more missed than Mr. Lumbard. He leaves a wife and grown up family to mourn his loss. The citizens had a fine display of flowers at his funeral which took place from his residence at 1 o'clock today, Rev. F. E. Pierce officiating.

Born, on July 25, to Mr. and Mrs. George Jung, a 9 1/2 pound baby boy.

Frank Munger, deputy sheriff, made an official trip to Salem and Ann Arbor yesterday.

Sheriff John Gillen says he is enjoying himself hugely and will be sorry when his vacation is ended.

An impromptu hop at the Clifton house last night was very enjoyable, about 20 couples taking part.

Some of the visiting guests here brought their horses and carriages with thern and take advantage of these cool evenings to drive out and enjoy the lake breeze.

Hear ye ! Hear ye ! ! Hear ye ! ! ! Ground has been broken and the lumber is on the spot for our new school house and we hope Pray Bros. will erect a dandy as a long suffering community has waited long and patiently for a new school building.
