LISBURN MAN'S DEATH IN CHICAGO. In a recent issue of the "Chicago Times" we notice the death of Mr. George Greenfield, brother of our esteemed towns-man, Mr. David Greenfield, boot and shoe merchant, and Mr Samuel Greenfield, draper. Mr. Greenfield emigrated to Chicago about thirty-six years ago, and began the business of builder and contractor, and his courtesy, attention to business and popularity enabled him to establish a very successful trade. He was an enthusiastic member of the Masonic Order. He leaves a widow and large family to mourn his loss, and the large circle of his friends in Lisburn will also regret his demise.
