CHAS. MATTHEWSON DIED TUESDAY

Charles Angell Matthewson died Tuesday afternoon about 4 o'clock at the rooms of his daughter, Mrs. D. M. Tyler, in the postoffice block. The funeral services will be held at his daughter's rooms on Thursday afternoon at 2 o'clock.

Mr. Matthewson was born Sept. 14, 1816 at Pulaski, Oswego Co., N. Y. He was a miller by trade and came to Ann Arbor with his wife and daughter in 1871. If he had lived until February he and his wife would have celebrated their 61st wedding anniversary. For many years he was employed in the Ann Arbor agricultural works. He resided on Broadway on the Northside. He was much respected and had the confidence of his fellow citizens who elected him twice as alderman and once as supervisor. He was an Odd Fellow and Mason, filling all the chairs in the former order. He was a member of Golden Rule lodge 159, F. & A. M., under whose auspices the funeral will be conducted. Two years ago he had a stroke of paralysis from which he never recovered. His devoted wife and daughter have the sympathy of a large circle of friends.
