A Great Concert

Although not entirely unexpected, still everybody was shockedto learn, last ïhursday, that Edward Treadwell was dead. He passed away at a few minutes after four o'clock. For many years Mr. Treadwell has been in poor health. During the past three or four weeks he had been muoh worse, still his friends had strong hopes that he would rally, but in this they were doomed to disappointment. Mr. Treadwell was born in the town of Ledyard, Cayuga county, N. Y., Dec. 19, 1823, and was the flfth child of Benjamin and Mary Heliker Treadwell. He passed his school days in attendance at the country schools, giving his attention to his books in winter and working on his father's farm in the summer. He was married Feb. 13, 1845, to Miss Adah Zillah Wooden, who surviveshim. Two years later they carne to Washtenaw county, where Mr. Treadwell located on a farm two miles f rom the city. Three years later he sold this farm and purchasad another farm farther north, where he lived for three years, then removed to Dixboro, where he lived for 12 years. He carne to this city and engaged in the agricultural implement business for four years. Successful in this as in his farming pursuits, he still preferred the latter and bought a 220acre farm in Scio, where he made his hsme for four years. In 1875 he again returned to the city and has resided here ever since. He has been interested in various business pursuits during that time, among other thins holding the position of a director of the First National Bank. In politics Mr. Treadwell was a Republican, but never entered very actively into the political arena. He was supervisor of Ann Arbor Town one term. The deceased was a consistent member of the Episcopal church. For many years he was a member of St. Andrew's church in this city of which he was treasurer for twelve years. Since the death of Mr. John M. Wheeler, a few years ago, Mr. Treadwell has been senior warden of the church. In the death of Mr. Treadwell the city loses one of lts most substantial and highly respected citizens, whose place, in the sphere which he occupied, it will be difficult to flll.
