Below is a typed listing of newspaper clippings from the scrapbook of Mary Dilworth Henderson Garrison. The majority of these clippings come from the end of the 1800s to the beginning of the 1900s. Please keep in mind that some journalists were not always to keen on spelling or facts (some of my family info. has been listed incorrectly). I have corrected the blatant typos or spelling errors but have pretty much left things true to the newspaper article. You will find some whacky listings (i.e. the article on the Detroit city directory for 1883...must have been a slow news day). Unfortunately, the newspaper clippings did not always have a full date listed.

I have other listings and stuff that pertains more directly to my family and extended family (i.e. Garrison-Detroit (also Lasier-Detroit), Henderson-Detroit, Dilworth- Philadelphia, von Ohl Philadelphia & Camden N.J.).

Here are the newspaper listings. Hopefully, they can assist someone out there.

NEWELL – At Trenton, on the 9th instant, Anna Clarke, wife of Dr. William A. Newell Jr., aged 24 years.
IN LOVING MEMORY OF ANNA.
When first the joyful tidings reached our ears
That thou hadst found a mother’s sacred joy,
No thought of ill to thee awoke our fears,
Our glad rejoicing was without alloy.

Thy clearer vision, pure by suffering made,
Saw the “pale messenger” we could not see,
Beheld him with a courage undismayed,
And calmly met the shaft he aimed at thee.

And thus ere one short happy day had flown,
A sudden terror chilled our heart blood’s flow,
And a dark shadow like a pall was thrown
Over thy pictured future’s roseate glow.

Bride of a year, and mother of a day!
How could the hearts that clasped and held thee so
Untwine their tendrils from thy lifeless clay,
Loosen their loving hold and let thee go?

Fair as the blossoms on thy bridal wreath,
Pure as the lilies on thy tear-wet bler,
How could the arrows of relentless Death
Touch one so lovely, so enshrined, so dear?

Oh! If within thy widened sphere it lies
To whisper comfort to a soul bereft;
Come, thou sweet spirit, in thy Angel guise
Back to the home of sorrow thou hast left.

Touch with a healing [ ] the bleeding hearts
That suffer only for thy gentle sake,
Blunt the keen edge of sorrow’s fiery darts,

Soothe and sustain them that they do not break.

With magic power thy child shall do the rest,
Thy husband’s stricken heart shall heal and cheer,
Shall bring sweet comfort to thy mother’s breast,
And be, like thee, their stay and solace here.

Dr. Foster’s Death.
ANN ARBOR, Mich., Sept. 5.-Dr. George A. Foster, of Detroit, died this morning at the residence of his father, four miles south of this city. He was a graduate of the literary department of the university, class of ’63, and also of the Detroit Medical College, class of ’67. Chronic stomach complaint was the cause of death.

Death of Ald. Foster
About 10:30 o’clock this morning Dr. D.O. Farrand received a telegram from Ann Arbor announcing the death of his partner, Dr. George H. Foster. No particulars were given, but the cause of death is known to have been a cancer or tumor in the stomach. Although in poor health for two years past, Dr. Foster’s immediate death was unexpected, and the news was received with great surprise and sorrow, as he was highly esteemed by all classes in this city. Dr. Farrand will leave for Ann Arbor at 4 o’clock this afternoon.
Dr. Foster was a comparatively young man, being only about 36 years of age. He was a graduate of the University of Michigan, from both the literary and medical departments, and upon the completion of his studies entered on the practice of his profession in this city, soon afterward forming a partnership with Dr. Farrand. He had a large and lucrative practice, and during an honorable career made hosts of warm personal friends. In 1878 he was induced to accept the nomination for alderman of the First ward on the republican ticket and was elected by a handsome vote. He discharged the duties of the office in an able and conscientious manner, and in 1880 was again elected by a large majority. At one period he was obliged to lay down his professional and official duties, and made a brief tour for his health, returning somewhat improved, though not greatly encouraged. On being lpreseed to accept the aldermanic nomination for a second term he at first objected, telling an acquaintance that he would not live out his term of office.
Last spring Dr. Foster was appointed to the temporary board of health, and became its secretary, discharging his duties in a manner which won him praise, while so much general complaint was made. He refused an appointment to the permanent board of health.
Dr. Foster’s mother resides in Ann Arbor, and some days ago he retired to her home for rest and recuperation, but failed to improve , and rapidly grew worse till the end. He was unmarried.
The city hall flag floats at half-mast in respect for his memory.

TO THE UNKOWN
Death of Dr. George A. Foster of This City Yesterday
His Funeral to be Wednesday Afternoon-Sketch of his Life
Action Taken by the Common Council Last Evening

Dr. George A. Foster of this city died at the house of his parents in the town of Scio, four miles west of Ann Arbor, yesterday morning. His mortal disease was cancer of the stomach. Though he had known for some time that death was rapidly approaching, he made no complaint, and attended cheerfully to the arduous duties of his profession. One week ago he left Detroit for a week’s visit to his parents. He was the only son of Willard and Carline Foster. His father is a well-to-do farmer. Sunday he was out riding, and had made preparations to return to this city yesterday morning. At four o’clock in the morning his mother left his room, he saying that he did not wish to be called till near train time. When he was called a few hours later he made no response. Though his dearest friends were hear his life had silently flickered out. He had evidently had an attack of nausea, after which he probably fainted and died.
Dr. D. O. Ferrand, his partner, went out to his parents’ home yesterday afternoon and returned at a late hour last night. Dr. Foster’s remains will be brought to Detroit Wednesday morning and the funeral be from Dr. Farrand’s house on Fort Street, in the afternoon. In accordance with the wishes of the deceased he will be buried in Woodmere Cemetery.
A SKETCH OF HIS LIFE IN DETROIT
Dr. Foster graduated from the literary department of the Michigan university in 1867, received the degree of bachelor of arts. After graduating he came to Detroit and accepted a place in the marine hospital. He remained there but a short time, however, having obtained through Dr. Farrand a more desirable position at Harper’s Hospital. While there he entered the Detroit Medical College and graduated in medicine in 1870, subsequently becoming a resident physician at Harper’s. He left the hospital to visit Europe, with the view of preparing himself to enter into partnership with Dr. Farrand. After studying for a year or more at the universities in Vienna and Berlin he returned to Detroit in 1873 or 1874 and immediately entered into a partnership with Dr. Farrand. His success in his profession was marked from the outset, and he soon secured a large and lucrative practice. Speaking of him as a physician for a Post and Tribune reporter yesterday, Dr. Farrand said that he was the peer of any man he ever knew.
In the fall of 1877 he consented to stand as a candidate for alderman from the First ward on the Republican ticket. He was elected over James Dean by a plurality of three. In 1879 he was re-elected by a majority of 135 over Dr. S.S. Stephenson. His record in the council was that of a faithful, honest and conscientious servant of the tax- payers. He had the esteem of every one of his colleagues and formed many warm personal attachments among the alderman. Outside of his official and professional relations he was held in high esteem by all who enjoyed his acquaintance. His frankness, sympathetic nature and courteous bearing won for him friendship of all with whom he came in contact. He was a man of the people and his mourners to-day number hundreds of citizens among all classes. Poor people recognized him as their friend and a call for his services on the part of one of their class never failed to meet with a ready and willing response. By his death the medical profession has lost one of its most prominent members and the city of Detroit one of its most useful and valued citizens.
HIS PARTNERS TRIBUTE
Dr. D.O. Farrand, business partner of Dr. Foster, said last evening to a representative of the POST AND TRIBUNE that he first met him one day as he was leaving Harper Hospital. Asking him to ride down town with him, he found that he came from near Ann Arbor, his own home, and became interested in him. He secured him his first position in the marine hospital, and his subsequent history was as related above. Said Dr. Farrand: “He was naturally the best physician I ever knew. His inclinations seemed to be all that way. Perfectly self-reliant, a very fine diagnostician, he was thoroughly devoted to his profession. He had the keenest sense of personal honor toward a patient, it made no difference whether rich or poor, unless, indeed, he favored the poor a little. I think he took a little better care of them. Though our business amounted to thousands of dollars a year, there never was the scratch of pen between us. I never knew any other man whom I trusted so thoroughly, and never shall know anyone again with whom my relations can be the same, for we were both young men when we became associated together. In all these years we never had an angry word with each other.”
Dr. Foster was 37 years old. He leaves and estate worth about $25,000. It is not known whether he left any will.

GRIFFITH-October 27, Thomas Howell Griffith , age 44 years. Funeral Wednesday, October 29,at 2 p.m., from 175 Fifth st.
IN MEMORIAM.
“Ah, poor Tom is dead.” I hear them say,
As the dark –draped hearse moves slow away,
And the form within unconscious lies
Of aching hearts and of weeping eyes.

I knew him well when his heart was light
And his life-lamp glowed with luster bright.
When he little dreamed that this heart to-day
Would be still in death with kindred clay.

His generous soul it was ever kind
To the worthy poor who fell behind;
For his friends his friendship was as clear
As purest rays from the sun’s bright sheer.
The strong oak may by the blast be torn;
The chain may break when the link is worn;
The rose may fade and its scent depart,
Yet memory clings to the human heart.

The dew drop glitters with beauty rare
When the virgin light of morn is there.
And the sweet voice of the sparkling rill
Sounds sweeter far when the morn is still.

For the soul that’s gone, Eternal Day
Breaks forth from God, and the angels say:
“Come, weary spirit, receive thy crown
And lay the burden forever down.”
October 30, 1884 FROM AN OLD FRIEND.

THE NEW DIRECTORY
Some of its Many Interesting Features.
The Detroit city directory for 1883, compiled and published by J.W.Weeks & Co., 40 west Larned street, is completed and will be out this week. The book contains 1,235 pages, including the business directory, and 61, 480 names of individuals, an increase of 5,060 over the previous year, and showing by the usual multiple of three a population of 184,440. This number includes the suburbs of Hamtramck and Springwells, which are to all intents and purposes a part of Detroit. The increase in population and prosperity during the past year, as indicated by the new directory, is a subject for congratulation by every citizen of Detroit, and worthy of the consideration of capitalists and artizans of other cities looking for an advantageous point of business.
The first hame in the directory is that of Frederick Aaberger, and Theophilus Zynda has the honor of bringing up the rear. As in all other publications of the kind the Smith family predominates, there being a grand total of 846, with nine different varieties of orthography. The S-m-i-t-h, pure and simple, is acknowledged by 602 persons. The work is highly colored, and though not possessing all the hues of the rainbow has 47 Blacks, one blue, 190 Browns, 78 Grays, 87 Greens and 124 Whites. It will be observed that the quiet colors predominate, as is fitting in an orderly city like Detroit.

The nationalities are represented in four Britons, 19 Frenchs, two Irelands, four Waleses and one unspeakable Turk. In the matter of religious dignitaries the city is provided with a Pope, Cardinal, Bishop and Priest.
Royal and noble blood flows through the veins of many Detroiters, as is apparent from the names King, Prince, Duke, Baron, Marquis and Knight that appear on the pages of the books and form coronets and jewels for the titled throng there are Aggetts, Diamonds, Pearls and Rubys.
We have also with us the Broad, Good, High, Low Little, Long, Old, Young, Rich, Poor, Prittie, Ruff, Short, Small, Smart, Slick and Straight. She field of literature is represented by four Tom Moores, two Walter Scotts, two Robert Burnses, on Oliver Goldsmith and one Henry Kirk White.
For statesmen there are Daniel Webster, a teamster; two George Washingtons, of African descent; Henry Clay following the humble occupation of chimney sweep; John Quincy Adams, a mail clerk; Zach Taylor, a dispatcher; James Buchanan, a carpenter; and two Andrew Jacksons, one a sailor, the other a clerk.
If the zoological society wish to establish an aviary in connection with their enterprise, they need look no further than the new city directory, as it includes six Birds, 17 Cranes, one Crow, 10 Crowes, three Ducks, three Eagles, five Hawks, four Herons, one Jay, three Larks, 143 Martins, two Nightingales, four Peacocks, one Quayle, one Redwing, six Partridges, nine Rooks, nine Starlings, one Sparrow, three Swallows, eight Storks, three Wrens, three Woodcocks and 20 Swans.
The business directory shows that the city is provided with 300 lawyers, 269 physicians, 68 hotels and 109 ministers.

A SAD SUICIDE
A Well Known Charlotte Druggist Determined to Die.
CHARLOTTE, Mich. Sept. 5.-A terrible tragedy took place here this morning, which will result in the death of a well-known young man named Ben W. Bours . He has been in bad health for some time, and this morning he sought to end his troubles by shooting himself three times in the head with a revolver. He is still breathing at the time of sending this dispatch (11:25 a.m.), but will die.
Mr. Bours was about 25 years of age, and a son of Allen L. Bours, formerly superintendent of state property at Lansing, but now employed by Thorndike Nourse, of Detroit. Ben had been with his father at Detroit for about a month, being unable to attend to business, but he returned to this place Friday and resumed work. He has been a drug clerk in this city three years, being with Shuler Bros. two years, and with Frank Merritt since then.

THE LORILLARD FARM-Jobstown, probably named after the only prophet of a bilious nature spoken of in the scriptures, was, until a few years ago, an obscure village a few miles outside of Mount Holly, Burlington County, New Jersey. “Up the road a piece” is the magnificent stock-breeding farm of Pierre Lorillard, covering upward of three thousand acres. Located there is a fine old mansion, surrounded by splendid stables, barns, residences, out-houses, wind-mills, an artificial lake, fish-houses, hay-stacks, pastures, hot-houses, and a hundred other objects of interest stretching into the distance, found only on a stock-breeding farm of such proportions. There were lively times at the farm last week when the news was flashed by cable from England to that remote place in Jersey that Iroquois had won the Derby, for it is where the splendid animal had lived since a yearling. The boys on the place sent for flags and brooms and these emblems were quickly transferred to the house and stables of the place, making it look like a gala day. “We will get a new Episcopal church now,” said one of the old citizens of Jobstown to the writer. “Why, how is that?”inquired the listener. “Well, Mr. Lorillard said if he won the Derby he would put up a church for us, and he always keeps his word.”

-Alfred L. Black, of the law firm of Leaming & Black, of Camden, and Miss Ada Frances Abbott, of Trenton, granddaughter of the late Timothy Abbott, were married in Trinity Episcopal church, that city, on the Monday of last week, Rev. Henry M. Barbour officiating. The groomsman was Henry M. Black, the groom’s brother. The ushers were Charles D. Gaither, of Baltimore; Richard R. Whitehead, of Camden; William Bell, Philadelphia; Edgar N. Black, Hoagland, Pa.; and Charles C. Black, Jersey City. A reception was afterwards held at the bride’s residence, and the couple then left the city on a bridal tour.

The gifts, displayed without cards, werew abundant and choice in the extreme; certainly no finer display of this kinds has been seen in Springfield for many a day. Even to catalogue them briefly would take a half column. There were diamonds, magnificent sets of silver, several clocks of elaborate workmanship, bronzes, plaques, china, Rogers groups, exquisite gifts of cut glass, elegant lamps, pictures, and vast variety of other superb gifts. The display was greatly admired by all. The super was served by Barr.
