CALLED HOME BY SUDDEN DEATH

A BOY WHO JUST ARRIVED TO ENTER COLLEGE

Receives News of His Father's Sudden Death by Drowning

   Archie Oakes, of Grand Haven, who came to this city Friday to enter the University, was called home Saturday by the sad and sudden death of his father, Dustin C. Oakes, cashier of the National Bank of Grand Haven, who was found dead in the river Saturday noon.

   Mr. Oakes was in the habit of taking long walks for stomach trouble, and left the bank shortly after 11 'clock. It is believed that he fell from a fishing tug at the river front during an attack of heart failure. His body was found 15 minutes after his watch stopped. Oakes was 45 years of age, was prominent in several manufacturing enterprises as well as in his bank. He is survived by a widow, two sons and a daughter, the oldest son being he boy who was called back from Ann Arbor Saturday.
