| Lake Superior in Michigans Iron country 1800's
Born of noble family and inheriting wealth, he devoted him-
self and all that he had to the work of teaching the gospel to the Indians of
the peninsula, while it was still an unbroken wilderness. His long journeys
up and down the lake were often performed on foot and in great peril; and
to the last hour of his life he lived in great simplicity.
Hon. James P. Pendill, who was the proprietor of the McComber Mine
and of the Union or Pendill Mine in Marquette county, died on the ninth of
March last. He was born at Batavia, New York; was seventy-three years
old, and had resided in the State of Michigan about fifty years, over thirty
of which he had spent in Marquette county.
