---Richard H. Woolsey, one of the pioneers of this vicinity died Wednesday morning at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Medwin Gitchell of Emmett with whom he had made his home during the past two years.

---Deceased was born in Covert, Seneca county, N. Y., April 30, 1835. He was a babe in arms when his parents came to Michigan in 1836, settling on a farm in Marshall township, five miles northwest of this city which is still the homestead. Richard was married in 1860 to Miss Harriet H. Huggett. They began life on a farm in the northern part of Convis, later moving to the farm in north Marshall now owned by G. A. Pond. About twenty-five years ago they removed to the old homestead which was their home until they removed to the home of their daughter, Mrs. Gitchell.
---Mr. Woolsey is survived by the wife, who is also prostrated with the same disease which was fatal to her husband, and two daughters, Mrs. Gitchell and Mrs. Frank Bell of Ceresco. G. S. Woolsey and Mrs. Mary J. Rowley of this city, are brother and sister of the deceased.
