          Death of A. S. Wadsworth
       From the Grand Traverse Herald
          It becomes our painful duty to announce the death of A. S.
       WADSWORTH, one of the pioneers of this region.  He died at his
       residence in this village on Monday, the 26th inst., after an
       illness of some three weeks.  As a surveyor and land-looker 
       Mr. WADSWORTH has traversed almost every section of land in
       this region, and knew more of the country, doubtless, than any
       other person.  Last summer was spent mostly on the north shore
       of Lake Michigan, in the State Geological Survey service.  We
       would say more in reference to the deceased and his life in
       this new part of the State, did we not expect an obituary notice
       in our next number from one much better qualified than we are
       to write on this subject.
          MR. WADSWORTH was the author of those very pleasant and in-
       structive "Wild Wood Stories" which have from time to time ap-
       peared in the Children's Department of the Herald.  The series
       was to be continued, but the hand that wrote them can write no
       more.
          MR. WADSWORTH was a good writer, but never did better than
       when he addressed the children.  We know that many of them were
       interested in "Wild Wood Stories."  Several articles which he
       prepared for this paper have been widely copied into other
       journals.  The bereaved family have the sincere sympathy of
       the entire community.
