         MR. ABRAM SCHRYVER, a man long and favorabliy known 
       to the citizens of Port Huron and the traveling public,
       died at the Thompson House, in this city, on Saturday
       evening, January 27, at 7:30 p.m. after a long and pain-
       ful illness. MR. SCHRYVER was about 63 years of age, and
       had lived in Michigan since 1857. Before he came to this
       State he was engaged in various persuits in Dutchess Co.,
       N.Y., where he was born and reared. At one time he was
       engaged in railroad building in Canada, and laid the
       first track between Toronto and Collingwood. Subsequently
       he came to this state, and was emplyed by the lat LEWIS
       BROCKWAY, under whose supervision he conducted the Brock-
       way House, in the village of Brockway. He afterwards con-
       trolled the stage line running from that place, and 
       leased or purchased the hotel, and kept it until he came
       here in 1865. He then assumed charge of the hotel that
       formerly stood on the lot south of where the Huron House
       now stands, which he conducted about 2 years, when he
       leased the property known as the Thompson House, which
       he conducted up to the time of his death.
       
         MR. SCHRYVER was widely known in this section, and as
       a landlord was very popular while among his acquaintances
       he was deemed as a genial and whole-souled man.
       
         In politics he was a Democrat of the ****est stripe,
       and ****** in local politics quite extensively, holding
       the office of Street Commissioner at the time of his
       death. His funeral will take place from the house on
       Wednesday, at 2 p.m., the Rev. Mr. Stowe officiating.
