• Notes

  ...died at the family home on Tuesday after many month's illness. He was born near Windsor and had he lived until next March would have been 74 years of age. The Means family came to this section in 1832 and were one of our pioneer families. Mr. Means taught school for a number of years and at one time taught in the Windsor High School. He was a member of the Masonic Lodge and Eastern Star and was the oldest living past master of the Windsor Lodge. For some time he was associated with his father-in-law, N. B. Cannon, in the grocery and book business. He served Windsor Township for several terms as assessor and failing health necessitated his retirement. When the star routes were in vogue in many parts of the country he was engaged in the letting of mail routes. However, for the past year or more he has not followed any active pursuits because of poor health. He was a good citizen and a man in whom all had confidence and he enjoyed the respect and esteem of all.
