LONG Andrew Long, son of John and Nancy Long, was
born near For
nine years Mr. Long was a teacher in the high school and in the grades of While at During the past year his family noticed with
increasing concern that his health was gradually declining, yet with his
characteristic determination he pressed on, only to be compelled at last to
succumb to the dread disease that held him a prisoner. On October 12 he took
his bed, form which he never rose, even for an hour. Twice he received the holy
anointing and throughout his illness he was ever hopeful that God would heal
his stricken body. But God had other and better plans for him, and after an
illness of nearly five months he peacefully obeyed the summons which came for him
on Tuesday at the noon hour. Perhaps after all, the greatest work of his life
was the example he left to us of patient endurance in the midst of fiery
afflication. Mr. Long possessed primarily a home-loving
soul. Those who lived in his home knew best his gentleness, his beautiful
patience and self-denial and his constant concern for the family circle. They
were the center about which all his life revolved. He had a keen interest in
business and in the affairs of state. A wholesome optimism pervaded his life,
which made his judgements ever lean to the side of mercy. He is probably the
only alumnus of He is survived by his wife, his three
children, Lowell of Wanatah, May we sum up his virtues in these familiar
lines: His life was gentle, and the elements, So mixed in him that Nature might
stand up, And say to all the world, "This was a man." Funeral
services were conducted on Thursday at 2:30 from the Church of the Brethren by
the Rev. H. L. Hartsough of CARD
OF THANKS We wish to express our sincere thanks for
the many expressions of sympathy which we have received for the flowers with
their message of cheer; and the loving help given by neighbors and friends

thou art gone to rest, An this shall be our prayer, That when we reach our
journey's end. Thy glory we may share. Oh, let us think of all she said, And
all the kind advice she gave, And let us do it now she's dead, And sleeping in
her grave. With aching hearts and tearful eyes. We laid her down to rest; Yet
while we wept we felt that she Was sleeping with the blest. No sickness, grief,
nor sighing Can dim her features now; A crown of dazzling glory Shall rest upon
her brow. Oh, let us meet that wife and mother In that bright world on high,
Where all is joy and gladness, Where pleasures never die. Mother has obeyed her
Saviour's call, He who suffered for us all. The angels took her by the hand And
led her to that better land. Mother now has left us lonely. For no longer could
she wait; But when we shall enter heaven She will open wide the gate. Our
dearest mother now has left us And her loss we deeply feel; But it is God who
has bereft us; He can all our sorrows heal. Gladwin County Record dated

Mr. McClary retained good health, with a few exceptions, and continued active
in his accustomed pursuits to a ripe - age. He was a man who united sound sense
with strong convictions, and a candid out-spoken temper. He had filled the
various stations of life, and filled them well. As a lifelong membe of the
Catholic church he was faithful and devoted to his faith. His best monument
will be the good report that he has left behind him in the community he has
lived many years. In politics he was an old time Democrat, and
although in the minority party in Gladwin county he was elected to the office
of probate judge in 1888 by a nice vote. He also served as one of the first -
alderman of the city and in other minor positions but he was not a seeker after
political honors. However he was always ready to devote his time to the public
welfare, and was counted on to assist in all movements for the improvement and
growth of the community. Mr. McClary was born in Funeral services were largely attended

cease and all business houses and public offices within the city be closed
during forenoon of said day while the citizens of Gladwin bow with respect of
the bier, of who so creditably carried the burdens of life. E. A. COAN, Mayor

Showing the lofty ideals of William McKenna as a soldier, the following
extracts from a letter to his mother written by him while on the firing line in
"The Speaking of cruelties---"but, over here
we are closer to it and can ourselves see what the noble French and their
allies have suffered at least have seen enough to make our fighting blood run
faster even than it did the day we volunteered. I do not see how nay young man
who knows right from wrong can sit back while daily his fellow countrymen
fight, yeaw, and even die for that liberty and freedom which all in America
enjoy and which we as a nation will give to the entire world for all times. "A few days ago it was my privilege to
attend a very impressive military funeral. In fact, it was the most impressive
sight, I ever expect to witness. In a village graveyard, within the range of
enemy's guns, two soldiers were laid to rest; one was a comrade and one an
enemy (a Boche) who had a few hours before killed him adn in turn he himself
was killed. A priest in uniform said the same words over both, the same firing
squad fired the military salute for both. If we cannot respect a live enemy (boche)
we can show our respect for a dead one even if we know that if we should fall
within their lines no such respect would be given us. but you may be sure that
we shall always be men at least. Representatives of American Legion posts at
Gladwin and William T. McKenna was born in Grout
township in May, 1897, and at his death was in his 27th year. He was a graduate
of the Gladwin high school, class of 1917, and was one of the first Gladwin
boys to volunteer after the declaration of war with Germany in 1917, and was a
member of Co. G. 128th Infantry, A. E. F., in which he saw service on the

TRIBUTE On Tuesday afternoon friends and neighbors
gathered at the Episcopalian church to pay their respect to the late Esau
Parker, and from there follow his remains to their last resting place in the
family lot in Highland cemetery. Mr. Parker was a man whose positive and
upright character and intelligence will leave a lasting impression on the
community in which he lived. In 1880 he became a resident of Grout
township and continued as such until his death. Forl half a century he lived on
the same farm and there his children grew to manhood and womanhood. His wife
and a part of their children preceded him in death. At one time he served his
township as supervisor, but his farm interested him more and he devoted his
attention to developing a large acreage from virgin soil. His kindly salutation
to his neighbors and friens and comment upon passing events are missed. May he
rest in peace. Gladwin County Record dated 08-25/1932 Column - 6 Page - 1 CIVIL

THOMAS PIKE (19 AUG 1851 - 17 MAY 1921) Manville
Thomas Pike died May 17, 1921, aged 69 years, 8 months and 28 days, as a result
of injuries sustained while at work on the Masonic temple a week before when a
stick of timber which he stood on end fell unexpectedly across his back,
inflicting serious internal injuries. Mr. Pike had been a resident of Gladwin
since 1886 and was well known throughout the county, particulary to member of
the Masonic order, in which he was a zealous worker. He was made a Mason at
Athens, Ohio, when 21 years of age, and was transferred to Gladwin lodge Aug.
26, 1890, being a pioneer of the craft in Gladwin, assisting in organization of
Gladwin lodge F. and A. M. in 1890. of which he served as worshipful master
seven terms. Through Mr. Pike's efforts Gladwin chapter
R.A.M. was also organized in 1912, of which he was the first high priest, and
was filling the position for the third term at the time of his death, having
come to the rescue when the chapter was on the decline, and being instrumental
in leaving it in a good healthy condition. He was also a member of White Clover
chapter of the O.E.S. and had taken the Knight Templar degrees. As a patron of Masonry he was known far and
wide for his proficiency in the work of the craft. Possessing a remarkable
memory he was prepared to take any part of the ritualistic work, in which he
took great pleasure. Besides he never shirked a fraternal duty or obligation.
In his death the Masonic bodies of the city suffer an irreparable loss, and the
community loses a good citizen. It is well said that he lost his life in the
cause he loved so well. Manville Thomas Pike was born August 19,
1851, in Athens, Athens county, Ohio, and resided in Ohio until 1883 when he
moved with his familty to Big Rapids, Mich., where he resided three years, and
then to Gladwin county, where they had since resided. He was married March 8, 1874, to Amanda Jane
Mingus, who survives him, with two sons and four daughters as follows: Mrs.
Eben Wright of Butman, Fred Pike of Flint, Mrs. Edward Rouse of Traverse City,
Mrs. Herbert Staffinger and Mrs. Ambrose Beaver of Detroit, and Clarence M.
Pike of Gladwin. Two daughters, Mrs. Richard Smith and Carrie Mable Pike, have
preceded him in death. Besides he leaves twenty-seven grandchildren and seven

Authorities said Mrs. Pike was home alone at the time of the fire. Her
husband, Arden "Red" Pike, a partime barber in Officials said the fire began in the
livingroom area about 1:30 p.m. The manager of the trailer park, Douglas Baker,
and two others who were living nearby, weret the first to arrive at the scene.
They attempted to enter the mobile home, but were driven back by the smoke and
flames. When firemen from the Beaverton Area Fire Department arrived, flames
were shooting out of the livingroom window and the trailer was totally
engulfed, said fire chief Don Schaffer. Firemen believe Mrs. Pike was on the couch
and was awakened by the smoke alarm in the home. From evidence at the scene,
she apparently was trying to fill a pan of water in the sink to extinguish the
flames. "We found the sauce pan in
the sink and the cold water turned on." Schaffer said, "From the
location where she was found and the amount of smoke she inhaled, we speculated
she was trying to put the fire out." Detective Sgt. Jim Bush of the State Fire
Marshall Division in Investigators believe the fire originated in
or behind the couch in the livingroom, but the cause has not been determined.
The fire remains under investigation by the state fire This is the first fire fatality in the

LAST TAP ROBINSON When Mrs. J. H. Robinson returned home
Wednesday of last week just after dark, form a visit with her daughter, Mrs. R.
J. Lucas, she missed her husband, Captain J. H. Robinson, and upon search of
the premises found him lying dead in the chicken coop near the house. He had
been left alone during the afternoon, and had been dead a few hours apparently.
The discovery was a severe shock to Mrs. Robinson and the neighbors, for Mr.
Robinson had been in usual health when she left him. His death is attributed to
heart disease, to which he was subject. His death removes a familier figure,
and one who will be greatly missed. Always cheerful and of a genial disposition
he cast a ray of sunshine on all within his circle. He was active in G.A.R. circles
and at soldiers reunions, and with his drum and good nature added life and
enjoyment to these gatherings. John Henry Robinson was born in Cayuga county, Mr. Robinson lived at home until the Civil
war, when he enlisted with the Third New York artillery and served his country
three years and six months, receiving an honorable discharge. Mr. Robinson was
married June 13, 1866 to Miss Emma A. D. Sweet in DRUMMER

B. SMITH INJURED BY AUTO NINETY
YEAR OLD VETERAN THROWN UNDER CAR Obadiah B. Smith, a long time resident of
Gladwin, civil war veteran 90 years old, while riding on M-30 with his
son-in-law, John Fick, who was driving, about 6 p.m., on the return trip from
Bay City, was the victim of an auto accident, which in all probability will
prove fatal. The car, which was a Ford, was said to be moving at a rate of 70
miles an hour. It was keeping the road with uncertainty, and near Earl
Shumway's place in Buckeye it suddenly left the highway and turned over in an
eight-foot ditch. The car was badly injured, Fick little hurt and Mr. Smith
rendered unconcious. Dr. Coulter was called and found the injured man hurt
internally and with many external bumps and injuries. Mr. Smith has been
unconcious since the accident, with no hope of survival. Upon reaching the residence Fick, crazed
with poor whiskey, caused some trouble, and Sheriff Paxton was called, and found
him with three quart bottles of whiskey in his possession, which was taken
before Justice Straley, charged with driving while intoxicated, and fined $60
and given 10 days in jail, which he is serving, and his driver's license
revoked for six months. Mr. Smith, on the 10th day of October next, would be 90
years of age. He served in the war five years, three months and 13 days and had
the papers and discharges showing his enlistment and honorable dismissal from
service. He enlisted from Dewitt in Shortly before enlisting he was employed on
a farm at $6 per month. This assured the writer, was very good wages. His
discharge papers described him as five feet 10 inches in height, weighing 170
pounds. Mr. Smith came to Gladwin county in the 70's, before its organization.
He was here when its first officers were elected and he mentioned with interest
all of the first officers elected, including Sheriff Ells, Simmons and Parker.
In the early days he drove team for Busch and Lane. He had seen more than 50
years of life in Gladwin county. From a wilderness of forest he had seen
Gladwin county grow and develop. He had keen interest in political affairs and
discussed doings of the day politics. He was one of the few G.A.R. men to
remain to draw a pension of $100 per month, and at the time this pension was
allowed a letter from the department stated that he was 166 in this class.

well meant "thank you" was the mode of expression from our afflicted
friend and brother. His last hours were occupied in getting ready to meet the
Lord and he said he had no fear, that he saw Jesus appear in person at his
bedside. This greatly encouraged him. The loving,
willing untiring sacrifice of his faithful wife who was constantly at his bed
side, their lives being so knit together that only one taken out this life
could divide asunder, characterized the atmosphere of the home. He was married to Agnes Walker in He is survived by his loving wife, two
