Death of Carrie Booher Hudson. This well-known lady died at the asylum last night, and ended a life that has been sadly clouded for years past by reason of her malady, an unsound mind, though she would have long intervals of health and soundness. She was placed in the asylum about two months ago, she having become quite unmanageable. The deceased was born in Clyde, Wayne county, N. Y., in 1828, and has been a resident of Kalamazoo since 1834, and was well known to all our pioneer citizens as well as to many of a later day. She was one of the kindest of women, good natured, generous and helpful. She was married some 15 years ago to Jacob Hudson, and they lived happily together. Mr. Hudson died about a year ago. Only three brothers remain of this once prominent and leading family. The funeral will be held on Thursday afternoon a t St. Luke's church at 3:30. Any change in this announcement that it is necessary to make will be announced. It is hoped that many of the acquaintances and friends of the deceased will not withhold the last tribute of respect for one who so loved all her friends and who always had a basket of flowers to place upon the casket containing the remains of a friend or acquaintance.

POST-MORTEM INVESTIGATION
Inquest on the Body of Carrie Booher Hudson Before Justice Wattles and a Jury — Rumors that Her Death was Caused by Violence Fully Unfounded. The story having been circulated that Mrs. Carrie Booher Hudson, a patient at the asylum, and who died at that institution last Monday, came to her death by reason of violence to her, and the rumor having come to the ears of the asylum authorities, they asked that an inquest be held in order to determine the cause of her death. Henry E. Hoyt; guardian of Mrs. Hudson, ordered that her remains be disinterred, which was done this morning at 10:30, in presence of Drs. Mottram. Hitchcock and Osborn. The following is the petition of the asylum authorities for an inquest dated this morning.
To Isaac N. Wattles, justice of the peace of the city of Kalamazoo: We, the undersigned citizens of the city of Kalamazoo, respectfully request that inquest be held on the body of Carrie Boohr Hudson now lying dead, who came to her death suddenly a t the asylum in Kalamazoo. Signed by George C. Palmer, Foster Pratt, S. G. Earl, F. H. Wells, Thos. R. Savage. Agreeable to this request a jury was summoned and viewed the body, and adjourned to meet at Justice Wattles's office at 1:30 this afternoon. It was composed of Ch. Miller, W. L. Brownell, J. E. Doyle, Chas. Hayes, A. A. Hazar d and George Fuller. The following witnesses were sworn, Miss Chadbourne, Mrs. Failing, Mrs. Little. The examination of the exhumed body by physicians foils to reveal any act of violence. The testimony did not tend to prove any violence. The investigation is still in progress.

Mrs. Jack Hudson, a daughter of that sterling pioneer, Frederick Booher, writes very interestingly of her recollections of Kalamazoo since 1834 in the Gazette of 1880. We make generous clippings from her recollections: "In June, 1834, my father, mother and brothers George and John and myself arrived at the ferry near the site of Riverside, seated in a one-horse wagon. Four other teams were ahead of us and we waited until dark before we could cross. We began pioneer life in the Kalamazoo House, kept by Ira and Cyren Burdick. The next morning both landladies were shaking with the ague. Our goods soon arrived and we rented and commenced keeping the hotel. "Then the hamlet of Bronson contained seven frame houses, six log houses with shingle roofs, two block houses and a number of board shanties. Main street was at that time grass grown on either side and famous for its clusters of wild strawberries. Several times that summer I gathered a quart of those delicious berries on Main street between the Kalamazoo House and the present site of the court house.
