A. O. Hegseth Answers Call Of Death
- - - - -
A
feeling of sadness crept over our city Tuesday morning January 4, when the news
was announced that Andrew O. Hegseth one of our loved and respected citizens had
passed from this life.
Andrew O. Hegseth was born in Norway. The beautiful
land of the Midnight Sun on the tenth of April 1847.
He grew to manhood in
Norway and when twenty years of age he came to the United States and located
near Red Wing, Goodhue county, Minnesota in 1867. Ten years later in 1877 he was
united in marriage to the faithful companion who still lives to mourn the loss
of a kind and loving husband.
He lived in Goodhue county forty-one years when
he with his family decided to try their fortunes in this western country
locating a short distance north of Sentinel Butte in 1808 (sic) where he has
since resided.
Some months ago he was quite ill but he recovered and was
quite well until a few weeks ago when he suffered another attack becoming so
seriously ill that it was thot (sic) advisable to take him to Dickinson for
further examination and consultation. The physicians at Dickinson decided that
an operation should be performed which was done. He rallied from the effects of
the operation but it was soon apparent to those around his bedside that his life
in this world was nearing its close. The children who were not present were
immediately notified, also his pastor, Rev. H. J. Thorpe of this city who went
to Dickinson on the first train where he talked together with this member of his
church.
Mr. Hegseth's mind was clear almost all of the time. He requested
his pastor to sing which he did. Mr. Hegseth joining to sing which he did. Mr.
Hegseth joining him in the good old hymn Nearer My God To Thee singing one
stanza Monday afternoon.
He also quoted this passage of a kind and loving
husband and father. The funeral services were conducted in the Norwegian
Lutheran church of this city Rev. Thorpe speaking words of consolation and
glorious hopes taken from that book of books that had been a guide to the life
of the departed one.

friends mourn his untimely departure and extend deepest sympathy to the
sorrowing wife and eight children.

Prayer For Death On Xmas Answered
- - - - -
Just as
Grandson Is About to Be Married Here She Passes Away
- - - - -
"Grandma"
Ball's Long cherished wish to die on Christmas Day has been answered.
As if
in response to her fervent prayers that she might pass away on the anniversary
of the Christ child's birth, Mrs. Amelia Ball, 78 years old died Saturday
morning at the home of her daughter, Mrs. H. J. Hulick of Orr.
Grandma
always thought it would be glorious to died when the bells and chimes of the
churches rang out on Christmas day. She had often told her family that she would
like to die that way.
And strikingly enough, just at the time when the
spirit of Christmas was at its best and people were humbly paying tribute to
Jesus, the last spark of life in the little old woman flickered out.
For the
last 40 years she had been suffering from asthma, and a week's illness from grip
proved too much for the aged woman.
Mr. and Mrs. H. J. Hulick of Orr were in
this city Christmas morning to attend the wedding of their son, Ralph Hulick, to
Miss Jessie Dow of Grand Forks. Grandma Dow passed away just one hour before the
young people were joined in marriage.
She was born in Germany, coming across
the ocean when but a girl of 13 and locating at Detroit, Minn. Ten years ago she
moved to Russell, N.D. where she lived until a year and a half ago, when she
went to Orr to live with her daughter, Mrs. Hulick.
The deceased was the
mother of 13 children, seven boys and eight girls, all of whom are living except
one daughter.
The body was taken to Russell yesterday morning over the Soo,
and services will be held in that community from the German Lutheran church this
afternoon. Mrs. Minnie Ball, daughter-in-law of the deceased said last night in
speaking of Grandma Ball:
"She was a devoted Christian. Everyone loved her
and she will be keenly missed. It may not have been such a very merry Christmas
for some of us, but it surely was a happy and beautiful one for grandma Ball." -

One of Golden Valley's Pioneer Women Buried in Beach Cemetery
Thursday
- - - - -
The entire community was saddened when on Wednesday
morning the news was announced that Mrs. E. M. Runk one of our pioneer settlers
and a most devoted friend and neighbor had passed from this life. Mrs. Runk had
been in failing health for the past five years. Three years ago she and Mr. Runk
made a trip to Rochester, Minn., where they consulted the Mayo's about her
condition but it was such that those celebrated physicians gave them very little
encouragement for a permanent recovery.
She returned to her home and since
that time has been under the care of her local physicians who have done all that
could be done to alleviate her suffering. Some of the time she has been able to
oversee her housework and to make occasional visits at her friends homes, at
other times been confined to her bed. Last Sunday she became seriously ill
resulting in death two days later. The deceased was born in Illinois, Oct. 26,
1866 and removed with her parents when a small child to the state of Kansas
where she grew to womanhood and was united in marriage to E. M. Runk, March
4,1883 and came to the Golden Valley twelve years ago where she has since
resided.
In the death of Mrs. Runk the neighborhood loses a woman who was
ever ready to help the cause of the Master as many can testify to, she having in
the early days driven miles to help organize our first Sunday schools in some
claim settler's shack, as the country grew she helped with the same work in the
school houses. The greatest tribute that can be given to this life is that she
ever had a heart full of sympathetic charity for other people's faults and short
comings. "Faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is
charity."
The funeral was held from the Methodist church Thursday afternoon,
Rev. Kessinger of the U. B. church officiating. The Methodist pastor being
absent from the city. He spoke many words of hope and consolation taken from the
blessed Book that had brightened the life of the departed one.
Mrs. Runk was
the mother of three children, one a little girl Lila, who died in infancy. She
is survived by her husband and two sons who mourn the loss of a devoted wife and
mother.

Two Fathers Died Upon Same Day
- - - - -
Mandan,
N.D., Jan. 24 -
The fathers of Mr. and Mrs. Ed Stone of Flasher died on the
same day. This peculiar coincidence took from this world two men who have been
prominent in Morton county affairs in the past, F. G. Russell who made his home
a few miles east of Flasher, and E. N. Stone of Iowa City, Iowa, until five
years ago a prominent resident of the Flasher vicinity. The latter is also the
father of the two Stone boys of near Flasher, who were killed by lightning last
summer.
Mr. Russell was 69 years of age and has been a resident of the
central part of the county for the past thirteen years coming here from
Missouri. The old gentleman passed away at 9:30 p.m. on Tuesday, death resulting
from a disease which has kept him bedfast nearly all winter. The deceased is
survived by a wife and thirteen children, all of whom live near Flasher.
The
deceased established the post-office of Gall about six years ago and also
maintained a store there for several months. The post office was later
discontinued however.
Mr. Stone, who was about sixty years of age, had lived
in Morton county for several years previous to going to Iowa to spend his
declining years. Three of the surviving children, Ed., Roy and Mrs. William
Dopking, are well known in Morton county. The boys live in the Flasher vicinity
and Mrs. Dopking lives at Bismarck, where her husband, who is parole officer for
the state penitentiary, has his headquarters.

Andrew Massey
of Indiana Was Veteran of the Mexican and Civil Wars

Connersville, Ind. -
The oldest man in Fayette county, Andrew Massey, is
dead at his home in Orange at the age of one hundred and seven years. He was
born in Everton, Fayette county in April, 1808, and spent his entire life within
a few miles of his birthplace. He farmed in a small way and liked to be out of
doors, even tending a little garden all by himself after he passed the age of
one hundred years.
It was not generally known here that a man of such age was
living, his home being in the extreme southwest corner of the county. The
records of his birth, his own belief of his age, and the remembered testimony on
the subject of old men whom Massey outlived, causes the firm belief that he
actually lived to the age of one hundred and seven. Massey fought in the Mexican
War and in the Civil War.

No death in
recent years has caused so general and profound regret throughout this vicinity
as that of Mr. William C. Hoffman, who passed away Thursday evening, Jan. 27, at
St. Mary's hospital where he had a few days previously undergone a surgical
operation for hernia. He was, however, recovering favorably from this and the
immediate cause of his death was apoplexy, of which he had a previous attack
several months ago.

Patrick's church Monday morning at 9:30 o'clock the service, a most beautiful
one, including the Requiem High Mass. Interment in the Catholic cemetery.

Mr. Hoffman was born in Chicago May 14, 1854.
Soon afterwards his parents came to Monroe county, locating in the town of
Jefferson. He began early in life to make his own way and lay the foundation for
the successful business career which he later enjoyed. At the age of 15 he came
to Sparta and obtained employment in the James Bubser butcher shop receiving $5
per month for his services later his wages being raised to $15 a month. After
three years apprenticeship he returned to the home farm for a short time, but
soon returned to Sparta and worked on the various butcher shops, finally he with
the two others purchased the business of his first employer and the style of the
firm was Potter, Audiss and Hoffman. Later Mr. Hoffman purchased Audiss'
interest and the firm became Potter and Hoffman. Mr. Hoffman then bought
Potter's interest and took two of his brothers in with him, the firm continuing
thus until 1904 when he retired, selling to his brother J. E. and a half
interest to J. Holinbeck. Since his retirement from the market the care of his
various investments and rental properties have kept him an active member of the
community. He was one of the directors of the Monroe County bank, was a member
of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows and was identified with every movement
for the improvement and betterment of the city, though refusing to accept any
public office.
On January 28, 1878 he was married to Miss Mary Fitzgerald,
who survives him, together with four brothers and one sister namely: John E.
Hoffman, Geo. A. Hoffman, and Julius H. Hoffman of Sparta; Fred W. Hoffman, San

Harry Kranic Smothered in Coal Mine Cave-in Near Burkey - Warning Came To
Late
- - - - -
One of the most shocking accidents in the history of this
section occurred last Monday near Burkey when Harry Kranick lost his life with
scarcely a moment's warning. It seems that Mr. Kranick had driven to the John
Denton mine for the purpose of getting a load of coal. He walked into the mine
and was warned by others that it was unsafe to go in as the mine might cave.
Just as he turned back there was a big cave-in and Mr. Kranick was completely
covered by the debris and it is believed that he died in just a moment. When the
body was removed it was found that he had received quite severe bruises of the
skull and also in the face. The body was taken to this city and prepared for
burial at the Overstad & Hoverson undertaking parlors. Burial takes place
today (Friday) from the local Methodist church, Rev. Hammer officiating.
Harry Kranick was born at Pelican Rapids, Minn., in October 1888. In 1903 he
moved to the Golden Valley in company with his father and one brother and two
sisters, the mother having died before the family moved here. On July 16, 1910
he was married to Maymee White, who with a four year old son are left to mourn
the loss of a kind and faithful husband and father. Besides these the deceased
is survived by his father, one brother, Ralph Kranick, and two sisters, Mrs. Wm.
Zabel and Mrs. Sam Wise.
To all of these the entire community will join us in
extending deepest sympathy in their hour of sorrow.

The sad news reached
this city last Friday evening of the death by drowning of Mrs. Chris Mercer and
two-year-old child on Cabin Creek, Montana. The accident occurred on Tuesday
evening of last week near the Lou Caldwell place.
Cabin Creek was usually
high on account of the melting snows. Mrs. Mercer and child had been visiting a
neighbor and were riding home in a wagon with Bill McMannum. After getting into
the stream the horses mired down in the mud and became frightened so that the
driver could not control them. The _nging of the horse caused the wagon to
overturn and the occupants were thrown into the water. Mr. McNannum became
entangled with the struggling horses and before he could free himself the woman
and baby had succumbed to the icy water.
Mrs. Mercer has relatives by a-_tion
near Carlyle and she resided with her husband on a homestead near Cabin Creek.
She also has relatives residing at Indianapolis, Ind. The many friends of the

Celebrate Silver Wedding Monday
- - - - -
Pleasant
Surprise on Mr. and Mrs. Bartley Monday Evening
- - - - -
Last Monday was
the twenty-fifty anniversary of the wedding of Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Bartley of
this city and appropriate ceremonies were carried out at the Catholic church in
the presence of a few invited relatives and friends. A very splendid address was
delivered by Father Wolpers and appropriate music was rendered by the choir.
Miss Eleanor Bartley presided at the organ and Miss Elizabeth Bartley played the
violin, both of them being daughters of Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Bartley. After the
ceremonies at the church the company partook of a sumptuous wedding breakfast at
the Bartley home.
In the evening, however, the daughters of the house sprung
a big surprise on their parents. The young ladies informed the "old folks" that
they must go to the depot when No. 3 came in as a couple of old friends of
theirs were coming up from Dickinson. When the train pulled in they found to
their surprise that about a dozen of their old friends from Dickinson alighted.
Later in the evening about thirty Beach friends also made their appearance at
the Bartley home to assist in properly celebrating the event. Needless to say,
everyone enjoyed the surprise to the fullest extent. The evening was whiled away
in a most pleasant manner. A four course dinner was served by the ladies who
arranged the party. Father Dignam, of Dickinson delivered an address and Mrs.
Dr. Nachtway of the same place sang several selections in a most pleasing
manner.
It is note worthy that among the guests who came up from Dickinson
there were eight who were present at the Bartley wedding in that city twenty
five years ago, a fact which made the occasion doubly enjoyable for Mr. and Mrs.
Bartley. The Dickinson guests included Father Dignam, Mrs. Catherine Ray, Mrs.
Flynn, Mrs. Frank Lish, Mrs. Cuskely, Mrs. Dr. Stickney, Mrs. Dr. Nachtway, Mrs.
McGinley, Mrs. Wm. Kennedy, Mrs. J. B. Malone and Mrs. Batt Connell. Besides
these Father Wolpers and about thirty other friends, of this city, were present.
Mr. and Mrs. Bartley were Dickinson residents for many years, during which
time Mr. Bartley was an employee of the Northern Pacific Railway, having worked
in various capacities from section man to conductor. Later they went into
business at Southheart for five years, after which they were at Sentinel Butte
for three years. Eight years ago they came to Beach and started in the
merchantile business at which they have been eminently successful.
The guests
present left a large number of very beautiful and useful silver articles before
departing and these are very highly prized by Mr. and Mrs. Bartley. Their
numerous friends will join us in extending them congratulations on the event of
their silver wedding and will hope that they may be permitted to celebrate their
Golden Wedding together twenty-five years hence.
We reproduce below the
account of the marriage of Mr. and Mrs. Bartley as it appeared in the Dickinson
Press twenty-five years ago:
Early Tuesday morning, everybody was astir in
the section house, waiting for the coming wed-lock. At a little before nine
o'clock, Miss Katharine O'Leary and Mr. John J. Bartley, appeared before the
altar ready to give their solemn vows and be united in holy matrimony. The
stately bride was robed in a handsome golden brown tulle silk dress, beautifully
decorated with flowers. Standing by her side as bridesmaid, was Miss Lizzie
O'Leary, sister of the bride, dressed in dark green silk. Mr. Bartley's "best
man" was Owen Flynn, of Dickinson. Father Brennan performed the ceremony in his
usual calm manner and ere long the candidates for marriage were man and wife.
Immediately after the ceremony, mass was held, following which the many friends
present offered their congratulations and best wishes. An elaborate breakfast
was then served to those present. No. 1 brought a host of Dickinson friends in
the afternoon and at five o'clock a sumptuous wedding dinner was partaken of,
the richness of which we need not mention, when the fact is taken into
consideration, that it was prepared by Mrs. Kennedy, aunt of the bride.
The
evening was pleasantly spent in dancing, singing and other amusements. And it
may be said, though trainmen while stopping for water or side tracked, had but
little time, they were nevertheless always remembered.
The bride and groom
after a short stay at this place, will begin "keeping house" in Dickinson, where
Mr. Bartley is employed as engineer on the N. P. May joy, happiness and
prosperity be with them is the wish of a host of friends and acquaintances.

Conductor Sylvester Died At Glendive Hospital
- - - -

Conductor Chas. W. Sylvester, who excited much interest in this part of the
country a little over a year ago, when he was taken prisoner on the charge of
shooting and fatally injuring his wife, succumbed at the Glendive hospital
Monday evening, following an operation for gall stones and ulcers of the
stomach.
Conductor Sylvester resided in Dickinson for many years, coming
here about 1902. The unfortunate affair at Belfield a little over a year ago,
which resulted in the death of Mrs. Sylvester, is still fresh in the memories of
many of our readers. After the trial and acquittal Mr. Sylvester resumed his
work on the railroad, but it is said that he soon became an altogether changed
man. His former associates scarcely recognized him. He withdrew himself from his
friends as far as possible, his only companion being his 12 years old son, who
it is said could hardly be made to realize that his father was dead.
For
about eight years deceased had a run from Glendive to Dickinson and later was
transferred to Mandan, serving as passenger conductor to Glendive until 1914,
when he filed on a homestead 17 miles north of Belfield. He returned to his work
on the road a year or so later. He was a good railroad man. - Dickinson Press.

Jay Edgar Gee

On Friday, April 26th, at
Providence Hospital, Seattle, Wash., occurred the death of J. Edward Gee, heart
failure being the cause. The remains were prepared for burial in Seattle and
arrived in Beach on No. 2 last Wednesday. Funeral services were held Wednesday
afternoon at 2 o'clock from the Congregational church, Rev. Keniston officiating
and he delivered a most comforting sermon, taking for his text the passage: "In
my father's house are many mansions." The choir sang two of the favorite hymns
of the deceased, "Nearer My God to Thee" and "God Be With You Till We Meet
Again." The floral offerings at the funeral were profuse and the large number of
friends present indicated that the departed was held in high esteem. Interment
was made in the Beach cemetery, the M. W. A., of which he had been a member for
more than twenty years, conducted the beautiful and impressive services at the
grave. Members of the local lodge acted as pall bearers, they being L. B.
Westby, George Elliott, M. C. McCarthy, George Christenson, Hermon Wojahn and
Joe Cramer.
Jay Edgar Gee was born October 6th, 1862 near Harrisburg, Penn.,
where his father was extensively interested in oil wells. In 1870 the family
moved to Hillsdale, Mich., and in 1880 Mr. Gee was graduated with honors from
the law course of Hillsdale College. In 1882 he went to Tracy, Minn., where he
engaged in business. On December 29, 1891, at Springfield, Minn., he was united
in marriage to Miss Agness Egan and the following year they removed to Sisseton,
S.D., where Mr. Gee took land on the Sisseton and Wahpeton Indian reservations.
In 1911 he went to Medicine Hat, Canada, in an effort to regain his failing
health. He spent the greater part of his time there until about three weeks
before his death, when he was ordered by his physician to go to the coast. This
change did not seem to be of any avail and on April 28th he passed away at
Providence Hospital, Seattle. His son, Edward, was with him at the time of death
and accompanied the remains back to this city.
Besides the widow, Mrs.
Agness E. Gee, and son Edward, both of this place, deceased is survived by a
sister, Mrs. Geo. Reed, of Los Angeles, Cal., and three brothers, Amaziah,

Friends Gathered to Help Celebrate Fiftieth Anniversary

The
cottage home of Captain and Mrs. Charles A. Near, on the north side was a
delightful scene of marital felicity on last Wednesday evening. The occasion was
the celebration of the Golden wedding of the captain and his bride of fifty
years. The early arrivals found the captain in semi-dishabile (sic) and Mrs.
Near in her calico house dress, so complete was the surprise on the venerable
couple. The Captain played the gallant host until all the chairs had been taken
up. Then a large delegation arrived and he threw up his hands in complete
surrender and his two sons, Fred E. and Ray K. looked after accommodations for
all the arrivals. The Captain was so completely taken in that the doughty
gentleman did not notice his appearance in docollete until after many of the
guests had taken their departure.
The popular Beach male quartette
contributed several musical numbers during the evening and the guests brought
with them as dainty a luncheon as was ever served but the Groom's Cake was of a
darker color than is common for a groom of fewer years. A renewal of the
marriage vows was pronounced by Rev. Geo. N. Keniston, but the promise to obey
was eliminated from the bride's vows and added to that of the groom. Rev.
Keniston offered a very fitting prayer as a part of the ceremony and also gave a
very appropriate talk to the couple who had been fortunate enough to enjoy fifty
years of married bliss together.
The living children of Captain and Mrs.
Near, who are each seventy years young, are: Mrs. F. F. Vaughn of Yankton, S.D.,
Fred E. Near, Beach, N.D., Mrs. B. B. Allen, Sioux Falls, S.D., Mrs. A. W.

Palmyra, N.Y., May 9, 1866. A Guest Book containing the autographs of the

Olsen - Halvorson Wedding
- - - - -
We reproduce
below the account of the Olsen - Halvorson wedding, of which mention was made in
our last issue, as it appeared in the Mitchell County Press, of Osage,
Iowa.
"A most perfectly appointed June wedding was the one at the J. H. Olsen
home on the evening of June 7, when Igna Olene Olsen became the bride of Karl O.
Halvorson. About fifty couples had been invited to witness the happy event. At 8
o'clock, amidst the strains of Lohengrin's Wedding march, played by Miss Selma
Hong, the bride in a dainty white net dress of silk, carrying a shower bouquet
of roses and sweet peas, and the groom, looking his best, took their places in
front of a bank of bridal wreath and pink honeysuckle. Rev. Waldeland, using the
impressive Lutheran ring service, pronounced the words which united these two
young people in marriage. This was followed by the hearty good wishes and
congratulations of the assembled relatives and friends.
The guests then
repaired to the dining room, which had been made beautiful with pink sweet peas
and bridal wreath. Here a delicious two-course supper was served by the Misses
Grace Whitaker and Mae and Thelma Tollefson. Vocal and instrumental music added
to the pleasures of the evening.
Mr. and Mrs. Halvorson, amidst a shower of
rice and good wishes, left Thursday noon for their new home at Beach, N.D.,
where Karl has been for the past four years, assistant cashier of the Farmers'
& Merchants bank.
St. Ansgar has been the home of these two estimable
young people for the greater part of their lives. Part of their education was
received in the public schools and the Seminary. Mr. Halvorson completed his
education at St. Olaf's college, at Northfield, which fitted him for the
position of trust he has so successfully filed. Mrs. Halvorson took a course at
the Cedar Rapids Business College, since when she has been actively engaged in
stenographic work. Both Mr. and Mrs. Halvorson have taken prominent parts in the
church work and social life of the town. A proof of the high esteem in which
they are held is evidenced by the numerous and beautiful gifts which they
received. That they will be greatly missed is but too evident. They have
however, the good wishes of hosts of friends, who can but wish that happiness
and prosperity may come in plenty to them in the new home which they are making.
Guests from out of town who attended the wedding were Mr. and Mrs. E. F.
Whitaker, Grace, Jay and Dewey Whitaker, and Mr. and Mrs. Herman Halvorson, of
Osage, and Rev. and Mrs. Heltne of Lawler, Iowa.

At St. Bernard's church, Sunday morning, a very pretty wedding was
solemnized when the Rev. F. H. Hollinberger joined together in matrimony Miss
Mae, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Redmond and Mr. John Brown a Beach business
man. The happy couple were supported at the altar by Miss Anna Kukacha and Mr.
Nick Redmond, uncle of the bride.
The bride is a young lady who has lived
near this city for several years and we do not exaggerate when we say Mae
Redmond's acquaintances were all her friends, her disposition always sparkling
like the proverbial dewdrop that lived and laughed on the petals of the
sunflower. Mr. Brown is a successful young business man and is a man held in
high esteem by all with whom he comes in contact, both socially and financially.
After the ceremony, a wedding breakfast, elaborate in its appointments, was

James Guy Crossman - - - - -
After a long period of
suffering, James G. Crossman passed away on Monday of this week. A recent visit
to the Mayo hospital at Rochester, Minn., resulted in a diagnosis of cancer, and
the disease had progressed to such a degree that an operation was deemed
inadvisable by the famous surgeons. Prior to his death he had planned all the
affairs, even to the details of his funeral. He asked that Rev. Kenniston preach
the sermon and the Beach Male Quartette sing. The funeral services were
conducted from the Congregational church Tuesday morning at eleven o'clock Rev.
Kenniston assisted by Rev. Mr. Mercer, conducting the services. Interment was
made in the local cemetery. James Guy Crossman was born at Elkton, S.D., on
April 20th, 1895. In the spring of 1906 he moved with the other members of the
family to their homestead about twenty miles southeast of Beach, where he has
since resided. In May, 1912 he was untied in marriage to Miss Mary Brunt Arnold,
of Lima, Ohio. Mr. and Mrs. H. P. Crossman, parents of the deceased, who reside
seventeen miles southeast, one sister and a brother Darwin C., of Lima, Ohio,
constitute the family. Mr. D. C. Crossman came at the call of the parents to be
present during the last few days. Mother Crossman, for many years an active
worker in the Congregational church, found some comfort in having her boy's
remains buried in the church of her choice. The many friends of the family
extend to the sorrowing ones their sincere sympathy.

Mrs. Reier Thompson Passed Away Friday
- - - -
-
The people of the entire community were shocked last Friday morning when
the word was passed around that Mrs. Reier Thompson had passed away at her home
in this city. Mrs. Thompson had apparently been in good health up until an early
hour Friday morning. At about three o'clock she complained of a pain around her
heart. A physician was called but his examination did not reveal any ailment of
a serious nature. A little later in the morning her condition appeared to become
serious and the doctor was again called. But nothing that he could do would
avail and at seven o'clock she passed away, heart failure being the cause.
Funeral services were held Monday afternoon at two o'clock from the
Norwegian Lutheran church, Rev. Larson, of Taylor and Rev. Trinklein of the
local German church officiating. Appropriate singing was furnished by the church
choir. The large audience and the many and beautiful floral offerings at the
funeral indicated the universal high esteem in which the deceased was held.
Mrs. Pernille Serine (Nelson) Thomposn was born in Valestrand, Norway on May
25th, 1846. In 1857 she came to Jackson County, Wisconsin, together with her
parents. On May 25th, 1865, she was married to Reier Thomposn. They resided in
Wisconsin until the spring of 1907 when the family moved to the Golden Valley,
settling on their farm two miles from Beach. Two years later Mr. Thompson
engaged in the lumber business in this city and since that time they have
resided in Beach. Mrs. Thompson was a woman of splendid christian character. She
was a faithful worker in the Lutheran church, of which she was a member and her
counsel and labor were at all times given ungrudgingly. She will be sadly
missed, not only by the members of her immediate family but by all who had the
pleasure of her acquaintance.
Deceased is survived by her husband and the
following children: Charley Thompson, of Grafton, N.D.; Nels Thompson, Blair,
Wis.: Mrs. G. O. Knutson, Blair, Wis.: Mrs. A. Anderson, Golva and Henry, Albert
and Rudolph Thompson of Beach. All the children were present for the funeral
services.
"We will weep fro the days that come no more,
For the sunbeam
gone from the heart and door;
For a missing step, for a nameless
grace,
For a mother's form for a mother' face;
But not for the soul whose
crown is won,
Whose infinite joy has only begun;
Not for the spirit
enrolled in light,
Crowned where the angels are tonight."

Golden Valley County Pioneer Passes Away

Last Saturday morning at the Dickinson Hospital occurred the death of Frank
Davidson, of Sentinel Butte. Deceased had just recently undergone an operation
for appendicitis and for a time after the operation he seemed to be improving,
but later he began to fail and the attending physicians were unable to do
anything for him. The funeral services were held Monday afternoon from the
Congregational church at Sentinel Butte, Rev. Larson, of Taylor, officiating.
The funeral is said to have been one of the most largely attended ever held in
the country, indicating that the departed was widely acquainted and highly
respected.
Deceased was a native of Sweden and emigrated to the United
States while still a young man. In 1890 he moved to what is now Beach, being
employed as a section man by the Northern Pacific Railroad. Later he moved to
Sentinel Butte for a few years. About eleven years ago he moved to his ranch
about eight miles north of Sentinel Butte for a few years. About eleven years
ago he moved to his ranch about eight miles north of Sentinel Butte, where the
family has since made their home. His brother John Davidson, is resident of this
city being employed as a section foreman on the Northern Pacific.
Besides the
grief stricken widow the deceased is survived by four children, Mrs. Ole

Horace Ball Meets Tragic Death
- - - - -
Shack In
Which He Slept was Blown Up and Occupant Apparently Instantly Killed.
- - -
- -
The entire community was shocked Tuesday morning to learn that during the
previous night a small shack located back of the Farmers Supply Company store,
and which was used by Horace Ball as sleeping quarters, had been blown up and
Mr. Ball killed. The discharge occurred a few minutes after twelve o'clock
Monday night, many of the residents of the city having heard the explosion but
no one realized what it was before the morning.
O. C. Attletweed was the
first to discover that the shack had been wrecked. He was up early Tuesday
morning with the intention of driving to Baker. As soon as he discovered the
wreck he concluded it was the result of wind during the night. He called the
officers and some of the neighbors and upon investigation it was soon noticed
that the wrecking of the building and the death of Mr. Ball were the results of
an explosion. There are all kinds of theories in the air as to how it happened.
It is of course impossible for any one to know definitely, but the opinion seems
to be quite prevalent that it was a case of foul play. The indications are that
a dynamite charge had been placed under the floor of the building, a hole
similar to that produced by a discharge of dynamite, having been made in the
ground near the north wall and just below the place where Mr. Ball's cot stood.
Several feet of burned fuse were also found a short distance north of the
building.
There has been no inquest held of this writing but a jury is being
summoned today and we understand the inquest is to be held at 9 o'clock,
Thursday morning. What the coroner's jury will find is of course problematical.
It would appear, however, that the circumstances of the case should have
warranted a prompt and very thorough investigation.
The unfortunate man is
survived by his grief stricken widow and three children, who have the most
sincere sympathy of the entire community. The family has been living on a
homestead north of this city and just prior to the tragedy Mr. Ball had been
staying in town where he was working as a brick layer on the new Reeve
building.
Funeral arrangements have been completed and the funeral services
will be held Thursday, July 20, at two o'clock from the Congregational church.
Interment will be made in the local cemetery. Members of the Woodmen of the
World, of which deceased was a member, will act as pall bearers and the lodge
will act as an escort and also conduct very brief services at the grave.

William G. Gilbert Meets Tragic Death
- - - -
-
Falls From Top of Moving Train and is Instantly Killed
- - - - -
The
people of the entire community were shocked Monday to learn that William J.
Gilbert, brakeman on the south branch train, had been run over and instantly
killed. According to those who saw the accident it happened about as follows:
The south branch train was doing some switching in the local yards in
preparatory to starting on their trip south. It appears that the train was
backing up and Mr. Gilbert went to the rear car to adjust the break. The break
appeared to turn more easily than he expected and he lost his balance, fell over
the rear end and the moving car passed over his body, killing him immediately
and mangling his body in a horrible manner. The proper authorities were at once
notified but upon examining the eye witnesses found that it was purely a case of
accident and that no blame attached to the train crew in any manner. The funeral
was held Tuesday afternoon at Sentinel Butte, Rev. Kessinger of this city
officiating.
The deceased is survived by his aged mother, Mrs. Henry
Gilbert, of this city and the following brothers and sisters: Edward Gilbert of
Beach; Charley, Albert, Fred and Harry Gilbert, of Sentinel Butte; Mrs. Otto
Stensrud, Beach, and Mrs. Christie Howard of Dickinson. To these a host of
friends join with us in extending sincere sympathy.
William J. Gilbert was
born on August 23, 187. . at Langdom, Ontario, Canada. In 1882, together with
the rest of the family, he moved to Sentinel Butte. While there he entered
railroad work and was employed in various capabilities on the division between
Glendive and Dickinson. Last year he accepted the position of brakeman on the
south branch out of this city and made Beach his home since that time. He was a
man of quiet disposition and he was very highly thought of by all those who had
the pleasure of his acquaintance. His sudden and tragic end was a severe shock,
not only to his immediate relatives, but to all his friends and acquaintances as
well.

Frank Luchowski, alias Frank Lang, and I.W.W. who Sunday night
confessed to the murder of Louis Larsen a wealthy Mott farmer, was spirited away
from the Hettinger county jail during the night and taken to Dickinson for safe
keeping. Two mobs gathered around the jail one a band of 150 I.W.W.'s who made
threats to tear down the jail and turn the murderer loose, and another mob of
about 150 farmers who threatened to lynch Luchowski.
After hours of cross
examination the man made a written confession. He admitted that he killed Larson
with a heavy scale weight, after he had quarreled with his employer. He said
that Larson had struck him on the head with a rock while on their way to a hay
field.
Larson was 27 years of age and single. The officers knew there was no
question as to Luchowski's guilt. When he was arrested blood was found on his
clothing.
Numerous mysterious fires, highway robberies, assaults and
continual refusal to work for other than outrageous wages, all culminating . . .

Prominent Carlyle Farmer Dead

John
Franklin Carlock Dies After Short Illness Following Paralytic Stroke
- - - -
-
J. F. Carlock, a well known farmer of the Carlyle country passed away at
his home there last Thursday, after only a few days illness, following a
paralytic stroke. The immediate cause of death is reported as being cerebroid
hemorrhage. Funeral services were held at the farm home three miles southeast of
Carlyle last Saturday afternoon at 2:30, Rev. Mr. Keniston, of this city
conducting the service, assisted by the pastor of the local United Brethren
church. The choir of the Carlyle U. B. church sang, and at the request of the
family Mr. L. B. Westby of this city sang "Abide With Me".
Father Carlock has
from boyhood been a reverent student of the scriptures. His activity in
Christian work is shown in his years of service to the Christian church as
Elder, superintendent and teacher in the Sabbath school and like religious
activities. His short final illness was beautiful in its godly trust and sweet
Christian spirit. The fourteenth chapter of John was a memorable favorite and
because of his frequent quotation of that wonderful "Comfort Chapter", Mr.
Keniston used it as a basis of his remarks.
Interment was made at Carlock,
Illinois, where his remains will lie with those of the son and deceased wife in
the cemetery of the old home town which honors him with its name.
John
Franklin Carlock was born December 12th, 1846, Beford County, Ill. On July 4th,
1868, he was married to Miss Julia A. Stephens. To this union were born the
following children: Alphens B. Carlock and Mrs. Norn Salzman, deceased; Mrs.
Cora O'Leary of Carlock, Ill., Mrs. Lydia Belsly of Deer Creek, Ill., Dillard
A., Artis and John F. Carlock, Jr., of Carlyle, Mont. On December 15, 1910 Mrs.
Stephens Carlock died. On November 28, 1912 at Ronneby, Minn., he was married to
Mary A. Ayers. For the past several years the family has resided on their farm
near Carlyle. Last spring Mr. Carlock sold out his personal property, turning
the active management of the farm over to his son, as he felt he wanted to take
life a little easier. During the past summer he has made several trips back east
to interest prospective land buyers in this section of the country. He was a
good consistent booster for this section, a first class farmer and a good friend
and neighbor. The many Golden Valley friends of the family will join us in
extending them sincere sympathy.

Arrest Made In Connection With Horace Ball Murder
- -
- - -
As a result of the investigations carried on by detectives employed by
the county, Geo. Smith was arrested late last week on a warrant charging him
with the murder of Horace Ball. Ball was murdered while sleeping in his shack on
the North side on the night of July 16 last by dynamite being set off under the
building. The coroners jury who heard the evidence available the day following
the murder declared that Ball had met death by foul means at the hands of a
person or persons to the jury unknown. Since then strenuous efforts have been
made to run down every clue by detectives of the Burns agency.
Little is
known of the nature of the evidence that the detectives have unearthed to
connect Smith with the crime. Smith and Ball filed on adjoining homesteads near
Buelsdals about 20 miles north of Beach a few years ago. They were apparently
friends. The motive, if one there was, is not yet revealed. The preliminary
examination of Smith will be had in a few days before Justice Heath, at which
time some of the facts surrounding this dreadful murder, it is hoped, will be
brot to light.

Last Friday night
at 11:45 Elmer Obert passed to the great beyond after a series of epileptic
attacks. Mr. Obert had not been in good health for a number of months and an
extra effort was being made to send him to a hospital where he could receive the
best of medical attention. With this end in view he and his wife had been
conducting a restaurant business in the new town of Thelen, where patronage from
the building crews of the two elevators and occasional transients made the
object in view quite promising of fruition. However, Friday a turn for the worse
was taken with the result mentioned above. His remains were brought to this city

Death of Very Popular Man
- - - - -
J. B. Stoddard
Passed Away at His Ranch Near Sentinel Butte Last Wednesday
- - - - -
The
many friends of J. B. Stoddard were shocked and surprised last Wednesday to
learn that death had again claimed its victim and that Mr. Stoddard had passed
away that morning at his ranch home, surrounded by his wife, three children and
his aged father.
During his illness with typhoid fever the patient had made
considerable progress towards recovery, but a relapse resulted as above.
At
time of death Mr. Stoddard was 58 years of age and for more than twenty-five
years had been a resident of Billings and Golden Valley counties, where he was
engaged in the ranching business. In his business as a ranchman he had acquired
thousands of acres of land and hundreds of head of horses, cattle and sheep,
besides other interests, yet he always found time to put his support and
influence behind any movement for the benefit of the county or locality in which
he lived. He served in Billings county as one of its commissioners for a number
of years and was one of the best posted and well informed men in western North
Dakota. We also believe he was one of the most popular men west of the river and
was known throughout the state. Mr. Stoddard was a member of the Elks lodge at
Dickinson and last July took an active part in staging the Elk's frontier
roundup at that city, during which he was dragged from his horse and sustained a
broken leg and other injuries, which confined him to his bed for several weeks.
While still in a weaken condition he contracted typhoid fever, which was the
direct cause of his death.
In March 1903, he was united in marriage at
Dickinson, to Nora J. Andress of Do
