      Alex Ruthven of Hatton Township has been in Clare receiving special treatment. Wednesday evening he retired to rest as usual. Next morning on being called no response was made and on entering his room he was found dead sitting in a chair. Death resulted from a complication of kidney and other diseases. The funeral occurs from the M. E. Church tomorrow at two p.m.

      Alex Ruthven was born in Scotland about fifty five years ago. Locating in Michigan he entered the employ of the Pere Marquette railroad. For fourteen years he was division road master for the PereMarquette. Ailing more less for several years, eighteen months ago he moved to his farm in Hatton. Besides his wife, formerly Bertha Ross, five children survive: Mary and Alexander of Saginaw and May, Arthur and a baby at home. The sympathy of all is with the wife and family in their bereavement.
