of the passing away of
Austin of Bay City on.
Wednesday morning, is received with
„ .. i sincere regret by his many friends
throughout this section of the coun-
try where he was so well known and
so universally beloved.
For many years Mr. Austin held the v
: position as county and district clerk,
and so, efficient was his service that
he seldom had an opponent and at
„ . AI this time was a candidate for the
Precinct >
office.
Mr. Austin was also prominent in
fraternal circles and was a consistent
! member of the Episcopal Church.
The family of Mr. Austin is also
well known in this city, Ms wife and
four lovely and accomplished daugh-
| ters often visiting here and partici-
i pating in the many social gatherings
to which they were bidden.
, Quite a number of Wharton citi-
zens and friends of the family went
