from Dr. Upson's mine, in Talmadge, and our people were slow to acknowledge its fitness for fuel. Mr. Peter M. Weddell was among the first to experiment in its use. When the sulphurous black smoke belched from his chimney, the people gathered around in amazement and held their nostrils, in order not to breathe the noxious smells and smoke that came from the infernal fire. Old heads proclaimed that if such fuel was used in a general way Cleveland would become depopulated, either by emigration or removal to the grave-yard. Yet she still lives, and her smokes are ten thousand fold more dense and sulphurous.

There are to day but a few men living who have continued in active business on Superior street, from the birth of our city to the present time. It would be a remarkable fact if there were many such persons. Among the names that have endured the longest, the writer calls to mind but four-prominent among them all is the universally respected name of Wm. T. Smith. Then we have those of C. C. Carlton and C. S. McKenzie, all of whom are men whose physical and mental powers appear as vigorous as half a century ago, except that on close inspection, stray lines may be seen now and then, and a gray hair or two, which indicates that they are a trifle older than when they placed their shingles over their doors and made a dash for an honorable living.

Taking every means that could be brought to bear for the purpose of approximating to a correct result, we have endeavored to make a list of those who have been somewhat known as business men on Superior street, and have now disappeared. That every one in the following list is dead we are not so certain. Nor do we suppose that the list embraces all that belong therein. There are many whose subordinate positions did not warrant us to embrace them— it was intended only to make a list of those who have been prominently known as leading business men and were more or less acquainted with the community.
