MASON COUNTY RECORD, Ludington, Michigan
Friday, February 28th, 1879
VOL. XII
No. 25

State Gleanings:

 - JOHN DRESSER, one of the earliest pioneers of Genessee (sic) County,
   died on the the 11th ult. from the effects of blood poisoning.  He
   was 75 years old and had been a resident of Flint for over a quarter
   of a century.  He was a very eccentric man and had his coffin ready-
   made in his house for over a year past.  It was made of rough pine
   boards by his express order, and upon it are a number of quotations
   from the Bible against the love of pomp and display.
