A Sudden Death

Nicholas Victor Gabriel Dies at Mt. Clemens, MI

He was a well man a week ago. A useful life cut short in its very prime.

The funeral was announced to occur at 8:30 o'clock this morning, from St. Mary's church, the remains to be interred at the Catholic cemetery, under the auspices of the Catholic Mutual Benevolent Association, of which he was a much-loved member....

He was on a train to meet his children at Windsor, ONT.... N. V. Gabriel was one of the Soo's most solid and most popular business men. Sauer's illustrated atlas of this city contains the following highly complimentary allusion to him: "Since the early settlements in Canada, France has sent but few of her sons to this side of the world and of those few one of the most genial and enterprising is N. V. Gabriel." He was born August 24, 1853, at Petit Unquin, Department of the Moselle, Lorraine. He reached Detroit in 1872, but soon gravitated to this place, reaching here in 1874, at first manufacturing carriages and wagons. Nine years ago he commenced dealing in furniture and by his thrift and enterprise he has kept his establishment at the front. He added to this undertaking, of which he is an expert.....

In 1874 Mr. Gabriel married Miss Kate Sobraro, daughter of Frank Sobraro. Mrs. Gabriel and five bright children, three girls and two boys survive him
