The ac ident occurred at the King road crossing on Genesee avenue, thé car being bound toward Saginaw. Mr. Kremer, together with several others was waiting at the small station for the interurban and in some unac- countable manner he was hit by the front of the car and fell over, strik- ing Mrs. Joseph Kremer and break- ing her arm. The limited sped past for a considerable distance before it was stopped, when the car backed up and Mr. Kremer who was uncon- scious was placed on it and hurried toward Saginaw. In the meanwhile a telephone call had been sent for an ambulance which met the car at Hoyt and Genesee avenues. Dr. W. F. English was present and examined hhim and found life extinct. The re- mains removed to Deisler’s undertaking parlors and Mr. and Mrs. were Josdph Kremer were taken to the home of George Sonsmith, on South Twelfth street, a relative. On closer examination it covered that the entire left side of unfortunate man had been teerribly mangled, the left leg being broken. Evidently Mr. Kremer mistook the limited for the local and stood too near the tracks, The limited did not slacken speed and the air current it is believed drew him toward the car. A corone jury will investigate the accident this afternoon. William D. Kremer was born Jan- uary 17, 1828, in Mankamos Mecklen- burg-Schwerin, Germany. He saw service in the German army for 18 months, serving during the rebellion in Baden in 1849. He was married to Sophia Zwerk, May 9, 1852, and soon after emigrated to this country landing at Quebec and coming di- rectly to Saginaw. At that time this city had a population of about 500 in- habitants. He resided in the city nine yearg. In 1861 he formed the first volun- teer company in Saginaw, which be- came Company H., Second Michigan infantry and he was elected captain. The company journeyed to Detroit, where the members were informed that ‘the government did not desire any more three months’ enlistments. On account of this several of them returned to Saginaw. A few years later Mr. Kremer pur- chased a farm in BuenaVista town- ship, where he became very active in politics. During this period of his life he held many prominent posi- tions of trust in Buena Vista among them being justice of the peace ten years, supervisor years, highway co issioner six ars school di- rector and several minor offices. He was a member of Buena Vista camp No. 255 of the Maccabees. All of hi m buildings were de- stroyed by fire in 1872 but in his usual energetic manner he went to work and rebuilt. In 1902 he cele- brated his golden wedding anniver- His wife died July 5, 1902, a few months later. Since then he has made his home with his children, chiefly with Mrs. C. F. Reinke, of Wadsworth and Helena streets. There survive three sons, Edward A., George F. and Arthur A., all of Grand Rapids, Minn; four daughters Mrs. F. C. Rienke and iMrs. John C. Roenicke, of Buena Vista; Mrs W. sary ©. Groening and Mrs. Edward Thomp- son of Grand Rapids, Mich. 24 grandchildren and eight great-grand- one brother Joseph and a children; sister, Mrs. John Bluhm. An Interesting Sermon. The series of sermons on social christianity and social problems whic are being delivered church by Rev. Dr. Briggs are prov- ing very interesting and are drawing Dr. Briggs’ subject was great social reformer” and his text was taken from Luke “A man’s life consiseth not of large audiences. at the Sunday evening sermon “Christ, the 12-25: the abundance of things which he possesseth.”” these words: dave all the glory which we’ now associate with the word was dis-| at the M. BE. The general theme of the sermon was to show what can be accomplished. Dr. Briggs said in abou “We believe it to be but bare justice that Christ should freedom. the world has ever seen. If any of us have formed so mutilated a conception of His teaching as to im- agine that the christian ideal is to save, out own soul and neglect our fellow citizens, so much the worse for us. Jeasus Christ came into the world to save human society as well as to save individuals. I beg you to remember that when Christ came, man as man had no rights, whatever, and if that was the case even with man, I need scarcely say it was not less the case with women. There are some in the present day who ever dare to tell us that Buddha was more illustrious than Christ. What has Buddha done for woman in comparison with what Christ has |done for her? When Christ came, | woman was regarded throughout the civilized world as a necessary evil, as a slave, as a plaything and the | plague of man. If every man owes so much to Christ, every woman owes a great deal more. What has Buddha done for children? In every | ;country where the influence of Bud- | dha prevails, infanticide is practiced | | and sanctioned. Take the master- | piece of ancient literature, The Ideal | | Republic of Plato, which is the speci- | al study of every classical scholar. Plato in his ideal republic, makes provisions for the murder of super- fluous cihldren on a gigantic scale. Let the men of Europe and America, | and especially the working men of these countries, who have never had the opportunity of individual research and who are in danger of being mis- led by the use of such words as ‘free- dom’ and ‘republic’ distinctly under- stand that when Jesus Christ, the greatest of all social reformers, came into the world, there was no protec- tion for the weafx, thera was no com- fort for the sorrowful, there ‘was no effective restraint for the wicked. Christ came and the great revolution began at once. A man’s life does not consist in the possession of titles, | moneybags or other social positions. | ‘When we ask how much a man _ is worth, we think of his banker and the amount of money he has: Christ says that a man’s worth depends upon this mental qualities, and yet more upon his moral. qualities, apart altogether from anything else. To prove this, Christ was one of the poorest of men—and yet the very greatest. [He says that a man’s life |does not consist of the abundance of | | things which he posses He was ‘the first teacher who insisted on | the equality of the human race.” Dr. Briggs then went on to illustrate the teachings of Christ that every man was his brother, and that no one was so deep in sin that they were not worthy a helping hand. The com- mon error to day is to judge hastily and the teaching of Christ was ‘‘Let him ‘who is without sin cast the first stone.” The reverend doctor’s ser- mon was full of interesting illustra- tions and held the attention of his ‘audience from start to close. His subject for next Sunday evening will be “The Brotherliness of Jesus Christ.” Partnership Dissolved.
