         HENRY ATWELL - Midland -
         
         Funeral services for MR. ATWELL, 86, former lumber-
       man and farmer here, who died Wednesday at Columbia-
       ville, will be conducted at 2:30 p.m. Friday at the
       A. H. Bradley funeral home. Rev. A. C. Barclay will
       officiate and burial will be in Midland cemetery. MR.
       ATWELL was born Dec. 12, 1852, in New York state. He
       came to Midland county at the age of eight and grew
       up with the lumbermen along the Chippewa, Pine and
       Tittabawassee rivers, later bringing down logs to
       the John Sias mill here. Mr. and Mrs. ATWELL lived
       on a small farm on Pine river road just within the
       fourth ward limits. The section was then called "The
       State of Maine" because so many of its residents came
       from that state. MRS. ATWELL died six years ago. Sur-
       viving are two daughters, Mrs. NELLIE BROWN, of Birch
       Run, and Mrs. DAISY DODGE, of Flint, and two grand-
       children, one of whom, FLORENCE ATWELL, made her home
       with her grandparents here for many yeas.
