The deceased was well known in this city, where he resided a number of years. His wife was Miss Julia Brown, who died about five years ago. He was made a guard at the Northern Prison, in which capacity he served for a number of years when he resigned and purchased a saloon at Michigan City and has since operated it.- kbz
