THOMAS MICHELSON
The shadowy Shore.
DIED-In the city of Manitowoc, on October 14th, 1881, Thomas Michelson, son of
Michael and Emily Michelson, in the 24th year of his age.
Thomas was born in the town of Cato, and passed all his days within the county,
except a few months, during which he was engaged as book-keeper in the State
institution at Waupun, a position he was obliged to relinquish on account of his
health; lately he has been in the employ of Bibinger & Day. While his death was
not unexpected, still it tends to sadness and gloom. When death comes swift and
sudden, it is stunning in its effect; when it comes and lays low within a week
robust youth and energetic manhood, it is startling; but when the grim spectre
approaches slowly and softly, but surley, it sickens and saddens the soul. It was
so in Tom's case. When that dread disease, consumption, fastened upon him, he knew
there was no hope for him. Death had set its seal upon him, and his lingering life
henceforth was but a torture. On Friday evening, after chatting in his usual jovial
style with the friends around his bedside, he suddenly turned towards the wall,
and with the words "Good bye, all." upon his lips, the low-burning lamp of his life
slowly extinguished. His many friends and former companions will echo his
"Good bye, all," with sorrowing hearts; they will ever remember his virtues, and
cover with the soft mantle of charity his few foibles and frailties; and they will
extend their warmest sympathy to his bereaved parents and sorrowing sisters.

********
Thomas Michelson of this city, died of consumption of the lungs on Friday
evening last. His funeral took place on Monday. Appropriate services were
held at the Presbyterian church. The deceased was a young man of excellent
capacity, a staunch friend and a person of admirable traits. He was for a
while in the employ of the state but was forced to quit the position on
account of ill health. No young man had more friends and none will be more
sincerely mourned.
