Uncle Mike Canary died on Wed­nesday at 5 o’clock p.m. from the effects of his injury two weeks ago. He was 83 years of age and one of the early settlers of this county. He will be buried today at Mt. Pleasant church. Uncle Mike, as he was familiarly called, was noted for his social qualities, and we know of no one who will be missed more by his numerous friends and relatives.
