Mrs. J. Mc Donald Passes Away in Hospital Sunday

The people of this city were shocked and grief -stricken on Sunday, when the news came
that Mrs. Jack Mc Donald had died that evening in a Fargo Hospital. Mrs. Mc Donald had
entered the hospital on July 31st for treatment.

The funeral was held Tuesday from the St. Marys Catholic Cathedral, Rev. F. Thomas
Egan conducting the last sad rites. Interment was made in the Catholic Cemetery where
she has a sister, Mrs. Robert Bassett, buried.

The floral offerings were profuse and beautiful, mute testimonials of the love and
esteem in which she was held by all her friends. Many people from Hankinson attended
among whom were delegateions from the W. C. O. F., Royal Neighbors, and the Legion Aux-
iliary, of which organizations Mrs. Mc Donald was an active member. She was a member of
the St. Philip's Church, and one of the most progressive and faithful church workers of
the parish. It is indeed hard to imagine Hankinson without Mrs. Mc Donald and to the

grief-stricken husband and children the profound sympathy of the city goes out, in their
home of sorrow.

Anna O'Keefe was born in Fargo on March 23, 1893 and died in the Fargo Hospital Sun-
day evening, August 5th, having attained the age of 35 years. On January 14, 1914, she
was united in marriage to J. Mc Donald. To this union two children were born, Jackie and
Eloise Ann. Besides the husband and children, her death leaves her mother, Mrs. E. O'Keefe
sister Ella O'Keefe and brothers, John and Louis, to mourn their loss.

There is no more tragic a death than that of a mother, leaving her small children, for

that journey beyond the pale. It leaves a blight which only loving care and Father Time

OBITUARY of the LATE MRS. B. PEITZ
Funeral Held Friday Morning. Was Old Resident Here

Agatha Krape was born in Munster, Westphalia, Germany, on Jan. 21st, 1860, being one
of the four grandchildren of the Baron and Baroness Von Schotte and came to the United
States at the age of twenty years, locating in Peoria, IL. , where she was a student in the
Medical Department of St. Francis Hospital. After two years she was transferred to the
Medical department of the hospital at Keokpk, IA., and from 1887 to 1890 was head of a
Pharmacy Dept. in St. Louis. It was there she met and married Bernard Peitz who passed
away three years ago last February.

Their union was blessed with six children, all of whom are living with the exception of
Marguerite, who died in infancy. Mrs. Peitz was one of the Hankinson Pioneers, living here
since 1890. She was a staunch catholic and a very active church worker, and from the time
of its organization was a devout and active member of the Christian Mother's Society, of
which she was treasurer for twenty years .

Mrs. Peitz was known to everyone for her kindness and charitableness. There was never
a time when help or comfort was needed that she was not one of the first to offer consol-
ation, or a helping hand. She was very patient in her sufferings, never complaining or
murmuring and no one realized to what extent she suffered. She was a loving, indulgent
and unselfish mother and was greatly loved by her children in return. The esteem with
which she was held by her many friends was evidenced by the great number of floral and
spiritual offerings sent.

The funeral was held on Friday of last week from St. Philip's Catholic Church at 10
o'clock, the body being accompanied by the Christian Mother's Society in a body.

The school was closed during the services in respect to the deceased, Agnes Peitz being
a member of the faculty.

A solemn Reguiem High Mass was sung by Rev. Fr. Studnicka, assisted by Rev. Fr. Duerr
of Lidgerwood and Rev. Fr. Jande of Wahpeton, as Deacon and Sub-deacon. Rev. Fr. Studnicka
who for the past thirty years had been her pastor and Spiritual advisor spoke beautiful and

C60)

consoling words exemplifying her great faith in her God, her fortitude, her unaffected
and humble manner and her love for everyone. He said the highest tribute he could pay her
was that she was just 'good,' and that death had won no victory in taking her from among us.

The children in attendance at the funeral were: Mr. and Mrs. Roy Diamond of Detroit Lakes,
MN., Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Odel of Detroit, MI., Mr. Philip Peitz of Miller, SD., Agnes Peitz
of Hankinson; Mr. and Mrs. Leo Peitz of Willow Lakes, SD., Mr. Joe Peitz of Hankinson and Mrs.

DEATH CALLS CARL KRAUSE

_ Passes Away Friday, November 30, After Several Weeks Illness

It is true the bell at "Emmanual's" Church was not tolled when funeral services

for the late Carl A. Krause were held at that church and we are informed that this was not
done on account of his daughter, Bertha, Mrs. John Bechel, who is one of the patients in
our new Hankinson Hospital.

The deceased has been a resident of Hankinson for the last twelve years. Here he moved
after years of hard toil and labor and earned the reward which is granted the man who per-
formed his duties faithfully.

His death came Friday, November 30th, after a severe attack of bladder trouble and so
ended a life which was begun across the ocean in Germany, at Plate, Pommern, on the 2nd
day of December in 1851.

Carl. A. Krause emigrated to America and went direct to Mankato, MN., where he became
engaged in coach-building. In 1880 he was married to Miss Sophia Buchholz and moved a little
later with his family in 1893 to North Dakota where he took up a homestead in the neighbor-
hood of Hankinson.

Besides a host of friends he leaves to mourn five grown children: Ida (Mrs. Frank Rad-
lof f ) ; Otto, Johnny, Bertha, Mrs. Bechel and Anna (Mrs. Emil Meide.) Three more children
were born to their union, but they passed away in early infancy. He is furthermore mourned
by two brothers: John and Herman and 17 great grandchildren.

EVERETT SIMPSON DIED FRIDAY

Funeral Services Held at His Home in Elbow Lake Monday

Everett Robert Simpson was born at Lowry, MN. , on February 1st, 1898. He moved with
his parents to Hewitt in 1907 and to Deer Creek in 1911. After remaining at Deer Creek
for five years, the Simpson family moved to Elbow Lake which has since been their home.

Everett Simpson spent two years in Hankinson, where he engaged in the creamery busin-
ess with his brother. It was at Hankinson he was married to Miss Bertha Beck, daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. John Beck of Hankinson on Jan. 8th, 1924. To this union were born two child-
ren, Everett John and Joan Mae.

Following their marriage, Mr. and Mrs. Simpson lived for a year at Hannaford, ND., where
Mr. Simpson was manager of the Litchfield Produce Co. For the past 2 years they have been
residents of Elbow Lake where Mr. Simpson engaged in the produce business as the Simpson
Produce Company .

For some time this fall he had been bothered with a pain in his back. Because of the
turkey buying season he had kept on the job as long as he could possibly do so, and was in
the midst of handling a large and profitable volume of business when his illness made it
necessary for him to go to the hospital at Rochester. An operation was performed for the
removal of a tumor on the spine. It was a delicate operation and a difficult one, fraught
with_uncertainty as to the result. The operation was successful, but within a day or two
he contracted pneumonia, which resulted in his death on Friday afternoon, January 4th, at
4:50 PM.

Everett was possessed of unusual physical strength and stamina, and remained hopeful,
patient, and uncomplaining throughout his illness. He had a motto which was humg up at his
office. When things looked dark he would look at this motto, and frequently had said,
"That is my motto." He looked at it and read it over again the night before he left for the
hospital . The motto is :

"It is easy enough to be pleasant, When life flows like a song:
But the man worth while. Is the one who will smile,
When everything goes dead wrong . "

Besides his wife, two children, father and mother, Everett leaves to mourn his departure
three brothers: Leslie, Cecil and James Simpson of Elbow Lake; and three sisters, Mrs. Arth-
ur Askerson of Ashby, and the Misses Eunice and Marguerite Simpson of Elbow Lake. His grand-
father, John Pennington, is also a resident of Elbow Lake.

Funeral services were held in Elbow Lake Monday afternoon. Following brief services
at the J. A. Simpson home, services were held at 2 o'clock at the Presbyterian Church. The
choir sang "Rock of Ages." Rev. R. L. Barr said a prayer and then read a biographical sket-
ch of Everett Simpson. R. E. Johnson of Villard preached the funeral sermon on Christ. He

C65)

said that perfection was not necessary for salvation and that no man was without sin. He
said that through the sacrifice made by Christ it was only necessary to come repentant in
order to achieve . salvation . The service closed with the singing of "Jesus, Lover of my
Soul" by the choir.

There were many beautiful floral offerings and the church was decorated in white and
green. Interment was made in the Union Cemetery. The pall bearers were, John, Walter and
Ray Summers, Karry Sletten, Oliver Berg and C. B. Mc Connell. The Herald joins with the
many friends of the bereaved relatives in extending sincere sympathy in their sorrow.

OBITUARY

It was a shock to the many friends and relatives to hear of the death of Carl William
Goette, who died on January 16th, 1929, on his home place, lh miles south of New Effington,
SD., at the age of 68 years, 1 month and 1 day.

The funeral was held on January 19th at 12 o'clock at the home and at 1:30 PM at the
St. Paul's Church, 4 miles north of Hammer, SD. Rev. J. H. Meier of Hankinson, ND., was in
charge of the services.

Carl Goette was born on Dec. 15th, 1860 at Hoerie, Fuertentum, Waldeck, Germany. At the
age of 21 years he came to America. As he liked it here he sent for the other members of
the family, who came soon afterward, except one brother, who preferred to stay home.

Mr. Goette lived several years in Pecar Lake, MN., where he was united in marriage to
Miss Wilhelmine Yost on January 13th, 1889.

Five years later he moved to South Dakota, where he had bought a farm and here he spent
the rest of his life. The first signs of his sickness were noticed at Christmas time, when
he had to give up his plan to attend church services and unexpectedly he passed away on Wed-
nesday, Jan. 16th, at 9:15 PM. His physician who had taken care of him in his days of sick-
ness gave the cause of death as the flu, which had caused pleurisy and pneumonia.

Deceased leaves to mourn: his wife, Wilhelmine Goette and nine children: August, New
Effington, SD.; Bernhardt, Browns Valley, MN.; Frieda, (Mrs. Charles Ahl) : Herman, who
lives 1 mile west of the home place, Mabel (Mrs. Lehrke) : Auguste, (Mrs. Heinecke) : Karl,
Henry and George, who were working with their father on the home farm; 9 grandchildren and
a great host of neighbors and friends .

He is furthermore mourned by 5 brothers and sisters: Mrs. Ed. Laun, 3 miles soth of his
farm; George Goette, Conger, MN. ; Ferdinand Goette, Latbrook, IA; Mrs. Gustav Heidemann,
Albert Lee, MN.; and Genry Goette, Irrland, Germany.

The deceased was one of the charter members of Trinity Congregation, near Sisseton, SD.
Some years later Mr. Goette and 3 other members bought a church building which was purchased
at a reasonable price, but meant quite a financial burden to these 4 men nevertheless.

In June of 1928, the Trinity Congregation joined the St. Paul's Congregation near Hammer
SD . , and turned their church property over to the latter one , these people had a small

C68)

place of worship only and were in dire need of a much larger church . The Hammer Congre-
gation moved the church to the place where it stands now and here in the cemetery, adjoin-
int the church, the earthly remains of Carl Goette were laid to rest.

PASSING OF GREENDALE FARMER
A Chronicle of the Life of Melvin Daniel Leavitt

Death took a Hankinson pioneer when Melvin Daniel Leavitt of Greendale died at his home
on Jan. 22nd, at 3 AM., with pneumonia after an illness of ten days.

Funeral services were held on Friday from the Congregational Church at Hankinson, the
Rev.~T. J. Chappell officiating. Interment was in the Congregational Cemetery.

Mr. Leavitt was born at Dunnam Flat, Quebec, Canada on March 28th, 1870. The son of
Dan and Melissa Leavitt, being at the time of his death 58 years, 10 months and 25 days.

As a lad Leavitt worked in the saw mills of Eastern Canada, losing his right hand at the
age of fourteen. At the age of sixteen he came to Amboy, MN., working eleven years as a farm
laborer.

On the eleventh day of October of 1899 , he was united in marriage to Miss Cora Perrin
of Amboy. To this happy union six children were born. Fern, (Mrs. Sauer) , of Java, SD., '
Mabel (Mrs. Wilder) of Amboy, MN.; Dorothy (Mrs. Sturgess) of Fairmount, ND.; Earl and Elgin
who reside at home with their mother, and Harold who died in infancy. Four years after
their marriage, Mr. Leavitt, with his wife and two children moved to a farm which they bought
and built up for the family home .

Mr. Leavitt, being a lover of trees, planted many around the home which will stand for
generations as a reminder of the toils the willing hand has done; he loved work and was
never contented unless he was laboring for the home or his fellowman. Although he had suf-
fered many periods of illness in the last eight years little complaint was ever made.

The deceased leaves besides his wife and children to mourn his loss, five grandchildren,
one brother, Albert Leavitt of Milwaukee, a half brother John Leavitt of Portland, OR., and
a half sister, Mrs. Charles Hoffman of Independence, IA, besides other relatives and many
friends .

C69)

He was a kind, loving husband and father and will be greatly missed by all who knew

him.

Nearer, still nearer, while life shall last,

Till safe in glory my anchor is cast;

Through endless ages ever to be,

Nearer, my Savior, still nearer to thee.

Now the laborer's task is o'er;
Now the battle day is past;
Now upon the farther shore
Lands the voyager at last.

Father, in they gracious keeping
Leave me now they servant sleeping.

FORMER HANKINSON RESIDENT DIES IN CALIFORNIA

Funeral services were held yesterday afternoon at Plymouth Congregational Church for the
late Dana S. Coleman, who passed away on Feb. 8th, after months of suffering. In January of
1925, Mr. Coleman submitted to serious operation, and it became known at the time that the
end was inevitable, because of conditions revealed. Mr. Coleman was born at Anoka, MN., on
May 8th, 1857. His parents came from Maine to Anoka. They were earnest, active members of
the Methodist Church. It was in this home that Dana Coleman was reared and the impress of
this Christian home never left him. He was in the employ of several lumber firms during his
business career, among them Salzer Lumber Co., of Minneapolis, and John R. Jones of Hankin-
son. The friends here have the memory of him as a strong, Christian character, active in
all the church work, Supt. of the Sunday School for two years or more, singing in the choir
and helping all he could in every way for the better things of life .

He was married on Oct. 28, 1877, to Anna Marie Plank of Anoka, MN., who was a real help-
mate to him in all his religious work. Two children were born to them. . .Florence , now Mrs.
Ernest Day of Whitter, OR., and Ellea, who passed away in early childhood. Mr. Coleman went
to Whitter in 1916 in search of health for Mrs. Coleman.

With the same serenity which had marked his entire life, he met the end, sending out

(70)

messages of cheer and Christian comfort from his sick room to his many friends. His faith
in God was unshaken and he constantly indicated that sweet submissive spirit of a true
child of God.

Mr. Coleman is remembered by all those who knew him best as a man of gentle spirit,
strong character and absolute unselfishness. The words not to be ministered unto but to
minister, come to one's mind as he thinks of his life. He sought always and only the spirit-
ual enrichment of the lives he touched. To follow his Master was his delight. He lived
every in the presence of that God before whom he should one day stand, and to that day he
sought to bring the record of a life spent in the service of his Master. . .WHITTER (CA.)NEWS

Last Saturday the remains of this merchant prince were laid to rest in the ancient
burial place, the Abbey, wherein there once stood a Franciscan Friary. The deceased was
a most progressive merchant; he distinguished himself in every department of commercial
activity; he was a resolute Captain of Industry whose cheering slogan was "Excelsior";
he was a most generous employer ... .perfect harmony marked the relationship between the
deceased and his various staffs. His death will be a great loss to the again rising port
of Bantry, and is mourned by a very wide circle of friends and admirers. The funeral, which
was of immense proportions and most representative character, amply testified the widespread
respect entertained for him.

It would be impossible to give a list of the general public in attendance. It may be
stated, however, that practically every house in Bantry and the adjoining districts was
represented.

The above was a brother to Mr. Henry Biggs, and the late Walter H. and Alfred Biggs of

The Life History of Mrs. Ole Hagen, Whose Funeral Was Held Sunday

Eliza Erickson was born on Nov. 12th, 1880 at Wendell, MN., where she grew to woman-
hood. She was married at Wendell on March 20, 1899, to Mr. Ole Hagen of Barrett, MN., to
which union one child was born... Earl O'Conner Hagen. They lived at Barrett for eighteen
months and then moved to Glenwood, MN., which was their home until 1917 in which year they
moved to Wishek, ND. In 1917 they came to Hankinson which has continued to be the family
residence.

Mrs. Hagen was brought up in the Lutheran faith and was for several years a member of
Trinity Lutheran Church at Wendell. She later took an interest in some English speaking
church at each town of residence, and with her husband joined the Congregational Church at
Hankinson in 1927. She has been an active member of the Ladies Aid and helped in other
branches of the church work for some years previous. While living at Wishek, she became a
Charter member of the Order of Maccabees and held her membership until death.

In the year 1921, she joined the Zurah Chapter of the Eastern Star and held the office
of Marshall at the time of her death . She was also an active worker of the Hankinson Sew-
ing Guild and was well known for her activities of a social and charitable nature.

The deceased was in her usual health and was returning home from a party on Wednesday
evening, May 15th, when she fell suddenly ill on the street. She was helped into the hosp-
ital by the ladies who were accompanying her and the doctor was called but in spite of all

that medical aid afforded she passed away within twenty minutes of being stricken. She
realized that the end drew near mentioning several times that she was dying and, with a
prayer, she passed into the great eternity of God at the age of 48 years, 6 months and
3 days. Thus passed a good and true wife and mother, a kind and helpful friend and neigh-
bor who will be sadly missed by her loved ones and all who knew her.

She leaves to mourn her loss the husband and son; one sister, Mrs. C. Lilleboe of Red
Lake, MN. Three brothers, Edward Erickson, Barrett, MN., Peter Erickson, Pillsbury, ND.,
Albert Erickson, Wendell, MN., and a half brother, Andrew Johnson of Elbow Lake, MN., be-
sides other relatives and friends.

The funeral was held on Sunday, May 19, 1929. The relatives and friends gathering at
the home at 12:30 noon when the members of the Eastern Star held their beautifully impress-
ive service. The cortege then went to the Congregational Church where a large congregation
had already gathered to show their sympathy. The service was in charge of the Rev. G. R.
Mc Keith, pastor of the church. A quartette composed of Mrs. R. F. Bellin, Miss Catherine
Jones, A. Hein and J. P. P. Tulloch sang "Sometimes We'll Understand," and "It is Well with
My Soul." The men sang a duet "0 Morning Land," the music being in charge of Mrs. J. Wick-
man, pianist. The floral offerings were unusually beautiful and the whole service was sym-
pathecally impressive.

Owing to the snowstorn it was impossible to make the trip to Wendell by road, so at an
early hour Mesers. M. L. Gallagher and L. E. DeVan got into touch with the Soo Line offici-
als and arranged for a special train to take the cortege to Wendell. The company, through
Mr. W. D. Boyce, division superintendent, Bismarck, and R. W. Rannoes, Transportation super-
intendent, Minneapolis, donated the whole train equipment. The following made up the vol-
unteer train crew: M. L. Gallager, conductor, Chas . Grawe and Ernest J. Cabillot brakemen,
Pete Bailen engineer and Steve George, fireman.

The service at Wendell was held at 4 o'clock in the Trinity church with the Rev. Geo.
R. Mc Keith in charge. Young ladies of the Wendell church sang the hymns "Face to Face"
and "Coming Home," the music arrangements being very appropriate. The Rev. S. C. Simon-
son, pastor of the church, also gave an address most suitable to the occasion. The church
was filled with old time friends and neighbors. The pall bearers were Messers, 0. A. Oli-
ver, A. W. Johnson, 0. J. Mattson, W. J. Chapin, L. E. Aldrich and W. S. Scribner. The
floral offerings were numerous as well as beautiful. The Soo Line employees sent a very
large token 'Gates Ajar.' The Eastern Star sent a beautiful 'Floral Star; and tokens were
sent by the Congregational Ladies' Aid, the Maccabees and numerous families and friends.
Those attending the funeral from a distance were: Mr. and Mrs. J. 0. Hagen, Barrett, Mr.
and Mrs. Ed Erickson, Barrett, Mrs. C. Lilleboe and son Chester, Red Lake, MN., A. Munson,
Bismarck, Mr. and Mrs. J. Erickson of Drake, C. Carlson, Lowry, MN., and A. Peterson, Glen-
wood MN.

The body was laid to rest in the Trinity Church Cemetery, the Rev. G. R. McKeith read-
ing the comma tal service. Messers. M. A. Wipperman and Son, had charge of the funeral
arrangements. ********** May 23f 1929

DEATH of ' PETTIE ' ; A TALE OF TWO DOGS

There are two kinds of dogs in this world. One, the canine kind and the other the
two legged mongrel . Our story deals with both .

One of the dogs was a friend of everyone; kind, gentle, faithful to her master, with
a loyalty that nothing could surpass. She was proud to be of service to her friends and
if given a task to do you could see her eyes beam with pride and courage. Adversity and
trials, good fortune or bad, she was the same true sympathetic friend. Unable to speak,
yet she could tell in unspoken language her troubles or her desires. She wanted but little,
food, shelter and kind words. A caress thrilled her more than we gain from gold and jewels.
She never harmed a soul in the world; she never had an evil thought.

Yet, she died last night. Mercifully shot to ease the horrible pain of strychnine
poisoning. She died at the hands of the other dog... the two legged cur who deliberatley
took a life two times more valuable than his mean, cowardly soul could ever bring if put
on the auction block.

We wonder who could do this. He doesn't live far from us, because the dog was poisoned
in five minutes absence. When he sees the dog's little master nearly heart-broken, because
he loved the dog enough to want him eased from his suffering, we hope and trust that the
thought of the last dying look in the trusting brown eyes of the faithful dog, looking up
at her master with pleading pain filled eyes, hoping and expecting help where she knew it
had never been denied. . .will haunt this beast's dreams.

This is the tale of two dogs:.... man is supposed to be a superior being, but between
these two dogs... God give me the four legged one!

In 1920, his parents moved on the farm that is 10 miles south of Hankinson. Five weeks
ago, Clarence and his father both fell sick with typhoid fever. It was a hard fight for
the boy and for those who took care of him. For some time it looked as if he was winning
out, but it was not to be. God called him Home at 1:30 AM., on Tuesday, May 28th, at the
age of almost 19 years .

Besides his parents, who lost in him a good, dutiful son, and helper on the farm, the

PIONEER RESIDENT CALLED HOME
Nils Petterson Died Friday Morning. Funeral Was Held Sunday

Nils Petterson, pioneer resident of Brightwood Township, passed away at his home two
miles west of Hankinson, Friday morning, June 7th at 6:40 o'clock, at the age of 82 years.
Deceased had been in failing health for some time and death was due to the infirmities of
old age .

Deceased was born in the province of Scona, southern Sweden, on April 25th, 1847, his
parents being Elizabeth and Peter Pearson. Both parents died when he was seven years old,
and for several years he made his home with relatives until he reached manhood. He att-
ended the common schools and served as apprentice in a flour mill until called for milit-
ary duty in which he saw three years of training under the Swedish law. On his 25th birth-
day he sailed from the Port of Guttenberg, Sweden, for America, landing in the state of
Deleware. A few weeks later he started for the west, being employed in the lumber camp
and on the railroad construction work in Michigan, Minnesota and Wisconsin.

On July 20, 1878, he located on a homestead in what is now Roberts County, SD. Besides
the homestead he filed on a tree claim which he later sold for townsite purposes and which
is now the thriving town of Wilmot, SD.

He was married on May 25, 1882, to Anna J. Knudson, who survives him. Three sons were
born to this couple, two of them surviving. . .J. Edward, whose whereabouts are unknown, and
Arthur C. who lives on a part of the Petterson farm in Brightwood. The family left the
Wilmot neighborhood in 1894 and spent one year at the old town of Vernon, SD. In 1895
they bought the present Petterson holdings two miles west of Hankinson, moving to their
new home on Nov. 12th of that year. They have resided there ever since.

Deceased was confirmed in the Lutheran faith in the old country and remained loyal
to his church throughout his long life-time. Quiet and unassuming, he attended strictly
to his own affairs, but was respected and highly esteemed by all who had the privilage
of his acquaintance. He was a kind and indulgent husband and father, honest and upright
in his worldly dealings, and an exemplary citizen.

He leaves no relatives aside from his immediate family ... .the stricken wife, two sons

and six grandchildren.

C80)

He seldom left the farm in his later years, and it was with the feeling that he would
so wish it that the funeral services were held in the beautiful grove surrounding the farm
home. The services were held on Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock with Rev. Geo. R. Mc Keith

in charge. The pall bearers were old neighbors and friends A. H. Brown, A. Kjelstrup,

W. J. Chapin, Geo. Coppin, John Coppin and I. R. Springer. Interment was in the family
lot in Hillside cemetery.

Among those in attendance were Theo. Knudson and family of Pelican Rapids, MN., Mr.
Knudson being a brother of Mrs. Petterson.

FORMER HANKINSON BOY KILLED in KENOSHA, WI . , BY CAR
Accident Happened When Lad Was on Errand

KENOSHA, WI., July 9th Hurrying on an errand for a sister, Willard Gerber, nearly

nine years old, was crushed to death at 7:30 last night beneath the wheels of an automo-
bile in front of which he ran as he was crossing a street.

The boy was anticipating the thrill of his life... going to the circus ... .and was runn-
ing errands for his mother and sister in the hopes of being taken to see the show.

As he ran down the avenue he thought only of carrying out his errand. He leaped into
the street and dashed between two autos, as he dodged the second car he ran directly into
the path of a third one being driven by Lester L. Smith. The appearance of the boy was so
unexpected that hitting him was almost unavoidable .

Willard would have been nine years old in August. He was born in Hankinson, ND., the
son of Mr. and Mrs. Walter Gerber.

SUDDEN DEATH of GEORGE MACK
The death of George J. Mack which occurred very suddenly at his New Effington home
shortly after midnight Sunday morning came as an awful shock to his family, friends and
the community. He had complained somewhat during the evening of not feeling well, and at
the earnest solicitation of Mrs. Mack had gone to their living rooms in the back of the theatre
for a short rest, and chatted for a few minutes with Mr. Kastner, leader of the orchestra,
who was also indisposed and was taking a rest. Mr. Kastner then dropped asleep, and a few
minutes later Roland Farrington passed through the room, stopped for a word with Mr. Mack,
who was sitting in a chair. He remarked that he was feeling pretty poorly and asked that
a glass of water be brought to him. After getting him the water, Roland returned to the
dance floor just as the orchestra started "Home Sweet Home." That was probably George
Mack's last request, as before the tune ended, his daughter, Lillian, went to the room and
found him, still sitting in the chair but the frail thread which we call life had parted,

(84)

and he did not respond to her greeting. Our good friend and fellow citizen had solved the
greatest mystery and passed through the portal which open to the unknown.

For the past few months Mr. Mack had suffered from occasional smothering spells, and
had on three recent occasions consulted physicians who assured him that there was nothing
the matter with his heart but in the opinion of the doctors who examined him after death,
the cause of his sudden demise was heart failure.

George John Mack was born on Oct. 28th, 1879, at Dubuque, IA. , shortly after the arri-
val of his parents and older brother from Germany. The family moved about more or less
during the early years, living at various different points in Iowa, until about 1901, when
he came to Hankinson, ND., where he engaged in the contracting and building business in
which he continued until the fall of 1913, when he moved to the newly platted town of New
Effington, where he has ever since been one of our most outstanding progressive builders
and boosters. For a few years prior to coming here he operated in partnership with his
brother Frank, also a construction engineer, and specialized largely in brick and concrete
construction, such as banks, school houses.

He was always ready and willing to give freely of his time and money toward the estab-
lishment of any worth while undertaking, and was one of the first and most consistant boos-
ters for the establishment of the present, successful co-operative creamery.

On the 24th anniversary of his birth, Oct. 28th, 1903, he was united in marriage to
Miss Mary Tix, of Hankinson, ND., by whom he is survived. He is also survived also by their
two children, Lillian and Leroy, both at home, five brothers, John of LeMars, IA. , Sebastian
of Minneapolis, Anton of Rushmore, MN., Louis of Bridgeview, SD., Frank of Plummer, MN.,
and two_ sisters, Elizabeth (Mrs .Kelly) of Milwaukee , WI . , and Maggie (Mrs. Mike Bilmiller)
of Washington. All except the latter were present at the funeral.

The funeral services were held in Sacred Heart Church, of which he had always been a
faithful supporter, Solemn Requiem High Mass was celebrated by Father Schuster of Sisseton,
and Father Lang, the local pastor. The intermaent took place in the family lot in the Hank-
inson cemetery. Services at the cemetery were conducted by Rev. Joseph Studnicka and Rev.
Lang. ********** August 15, 1929

MAN KILLED in AUTO ACCIDENT
A. L. Harmon, of Wahpeton, was killed Friday evening when he was crushed between his
own car and a car driven by Catherine Haas of Lidgerwood. The accident occurred near Wyn-
dmere on the State Highway.

Miss Catherine Haas, accompanied by her three sisters, Celia, Josephine and Clara,
were driving to Lidgerwood. Mr. Harmon was on his way to Valley City, where he was to
get Mrs. Harmon, who was visiting there. Evidently he had a flat tire on the left hind
wheel and was fixing it. A car approached from the west, and the Haas car approached from
the east. Blinded by the approaching lights and not seeing a parked car on the road, the
Haas car approached the crouching man at the same rate of speed. After passing the approa-
ching car, Miss Haas saw Harmon immediately in front of her, his back to their car. She
threw on the brakes but it was too late. Harmon was crushed between the two cars. He
died about twenty minutes later. ....FARMER GLOBE....

CELEBRATE CREAMERY OPENING AT HANKINSON, MONDAY

Hankinson people invite you to attend the celebration in honor of the opening of the
fine new Hankinson Co-operative Creamery on Monday, Sept. 23rd. Our people have been priv-
ileged to assist in the organizing of the creamery company, and now wish to celebrate the
occasion fittingly on the opening day.

A good program has been arranged by a committee appointed ty the Hankinson Kiwanis,
namely, T. W. Robey, Richard Bellin and Rudy Scheller.

The program will start at 1:30 PM and continue throughout the afternoon. Vice Pres-
ident Senator Arens, of the Land 0' Lakes Creameries, will be the principal speaker of the
day. He is certain to bring a message that will be important to all interested in the cream-
ery

The Hankinson band will furnish music during the afternoon, and a fine lunch will be
served to everyone attending and there will be favors for the ladies and gents. The Cream-
ery will be spic and span, and you are invited to came in and make yourself at home by
Manager Landeen.

Prizes are being awarded by the committee, the same being enumerated on another page

of this paper.

The ORGANIZATION

The organization of a creamery was long considered feasible by prominent citizens of
this community, and after much agitation a meeting was called for Monday, January 14th, in
the basement of the Congregational Church. Forty five farmers and an equal number of town
people attended this meeting, at which officials of the Land 0' Lakes Creameries attended.
Before this meeting closed twenty two farmers had signed as members, and purchased shares.
Temporary directors were Otto Muehler, George Stack, Mike Birnbaum, George Schultz, Fred
Pankow, Peter Krump and Robert Bladow.

Other meetings followed and plans were discussed, and on Aprl 15th the Kiwanis decided
to close the drive with a whirlwind finish. One hundred men had already signed and fifty
more were needed. On July 1st the officers announced that sufficient stock had been sub-
scribed for to assure the building of the creamery, and in honor of the event a celebration
was held at Lake Elsie, at which all the people of the community were invited to attend,
and about everybody accepted.

During the afternoon of that day a permanent organization was effected. The following
directors were elected: Joseph Duba, George Stack, George Schulz, Mike Wirtz, Otto Muehler
and Peter Krump. The directors named Joseph Duba, President, and F. J. Pankow, Vice Presid-
ent, with Albert Pribbernow, Secretary. It was announced that 165 shares were sold.

The work of creating a sentiment for the creamery, organizing those interested, super-
vising the details, has been a collosal undertaking, and there are many men of this commun-
ity who are certainly entitled to special mention, but the bulk of the credit must go to
the Kiwanis and the farmers themselves, both of whom have been active in assuring the success
ot this undertaking, and whom, we have every reason to believe, will continue with a whole
heartied boosting. ********** September 19, 1929

MRS. MOURER'S NIECE MET TRAGIC DEATH

The following account of the tragic death of Ella Woodward, daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
H. Woodward, nee Frances Bruner, and niece of Mrs. P. W. Mourer, of Greendale Township, is
taken from the Claryville News :

When a shotgun in the hands of her brother was accidently discharged late Tuesday, Ella
Woodward, 17, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Woodward, Claryville, Campbell County, Kentucky,
was instantly killed at her home. A verdict of accidental death was given by Coroner Walter
B. Hughes of Campbell County.

The family had just finished the evening meal when the brother, Ernest Woodward, left
the table, picked up the shotgun and walked into the back yard. His sister remained seated
at the table. A moment later the window in the kitchen was shattered and the full charge
of the gun struck the girl in the face .

The brother told Coroner Hughes the trigger of the weapon evidently caught on a twig.

LITTLE GIRL DIED of PNEUMONIA

Carol Jane Kretchman was born on May 8th, 1923, and passed into the great beyond on
October 15th, at the early age of 6 years, 5 months and one week. She was the beloved
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Kretchman, of Hankinson, ND., in which town she spent her
all too short life. Jane was a child of tender affections, a sweet and generous disposit-
ion and a great favorite among her playmates and all who knew her.

She looked forward throughout the summer with child-like anticipation to the time when
she would enter school, but alas, she was only there about a month when she was taken with
a severe cold which developed into a bronchial pneumonia and in spite of all the care and
medical attention she passed away to the happy land.

It was only three Sundays ago that she took part in the Rally Day program at the Congre-
gational Church, when, as many remarked, she did so well and looked so sweet. During the
earlier days of her sickness she would often sing her favorite hymn "Silent Night, Holy Nigh'
and say her little prayers and scripture .

Many friends will long remember Jane as the little flower girl at two local weddings,
one of which was a church wedding held only last June, when, with her little companion the
ring bearer, the duties were carried out so admirably.

Her untimely death came as a great shock to the neighborhood as well as a great shock

to her loving parents and relatives, in the midst of which sorrow and grief we can but seek

for comfort and consolation in the belief that God had a wise purpose in calling her to him

self.

Wan sorrow came a-knocking

A-nocking at my door:

"I seek the little maid" she said,

"I always missed before."
C9J)

But. I smiles on Sorrow,

"Nay, lay on me your rod:

My little maid is past you now."

I said, "She's gone to God."

Old wisdom, with his wrinkles

Prayed me to let him in,

Quoth he, "he learning 'slong and long:

"our child had best begin."

"Begin to be like you, sir."

I cried, "so wise and sad?"

She's learning in a better school

To know and still be glad.

The gray old years come crowding

But then I bade be gone,

"There's nothing left me now," I said,

"Ye may lay hands upon,

Nor youth, nor joy, nor June time

Yet this doth all repay

My little girl in Heaven will be

My little maid alway."

Funeral services were held from the home in charge of the Rev. G. R. Mc Keith. After a
short Scripture and Prayer, Mr. R. T. Tolo sang the favorite hymn, "Silent Night, Holy Night

The public service was held at the Congregational Church where a large congregation
assembled to show their sympathy, with the parents and friends, and their respects to the
little girl who was loved by all. The special hymns chosen were, "Safe in the Arms of Jesus"
sang as a solo by Mr. Tolo, and "Some Sweet Day, By and By" by a quartette, Miss Eunice Karl-
strom, Mrs. C. H. Backstrom, Messrs, Carl H. Backstrom and Realf T. Tolo, with Mrs. John
Wickman at the piano. The service was conducted by the Rev. G. R. McKeith, who gave an app-
ropiate address .

The pall bearers were the Misses Alyce Merrifield, Helen Bergman, Evelyn Wickman, Marion
Stock, Lois Scribner and Mildren Ingerson. The floral offerings were very beautiful, which
included those from the Congregational Church and Sunday School, North Star Garage employees,
The Eastern Star, Masonic Lodge, and Hankinson Band, and numerous friends.

Relatives from out of town were Mrs. M. E. Stine , Minneapolis, MN., Miss Sophia Kretch-
man, Hunter, ND. , Mr. and Mrs. Edwin Hanson and family and Mr. and Mrs. E. D. Hanson and

FAIRMOUNT MAN FOUND DEAD
County Coroner L. E. Lester was called to Fairmount Township, near the South Dakota
state line, Saturday by the death of Edward Erickson, a bachelor, who lived alone on his
farm, which was 160 acres of township 33, south, Fairmount township. Erickson was found
dead in a water trough.

Erickson was last seen, Tuesday night in White Rock, SD. He was a ruddy complexioned
man and was fairly well known here as well as in Fairmount. He has a sister, Mrs. M. Petter-
son, of New Britton, CT. , and the county officials are hunting for other relatives.

When there were no lights in Erickson 's home and the stock remained outside, neighbors
became worried and Paul Sefedt, a neighbor, went over to the farmyard. Erickson was lying
in the water trough, frozen, with his legs dangling over the side, his hand over his heart
and his head and shoulders above the water. The body was thrown in up to the waist

CI 031

Erickson had been chopping ice away from the trough, the County Coroner said, and
must have had a heart attack. He slipped into the water when he sat on the edge of the
trough and placed his hand over his heart to ease the pain. The body was taken to White
Rock after the coroner had made his examination.

An examination of the farm house disclosed mail from relatives on the table dating back
to 1903. The coroner got in touch with a sister and the body was ordered shipped to New
Britton for burial.

While Erickson owned the farm he lived upon, he was known to be rather hard up finan-
cially, due to bad crop returns the past few years. He lived frugally in his home. A few
years ago, a nephew lived with him on the farm, but he has been living alone for sometime.

Mrs. Johanna Medenwaldt

old settlers lived for a time before coming to the prairies of North Dakota. On Dec. 12th,
1873, she was married to Ferdinand Medenwaldt. In the fall of 1879 the couple came, with
their three children, and settled on the Wild Rice. Seven more children were born to them.

In 1914, they retired from active farming and moved to Hankinson, where they had purchas-
ed a home. Mrs. Medenwaldt had always enjoyed excellent health until shortly before Christ-
mas when it was apparent that she was a sufferer from that dread disease, cancer. She died
on Monday about midnight, at the age of 75 years and 6 days.

The funeral took place this afternoon from the Lutheran Church of which she had been a

lifelong member. Rev. Klausler conducting the services. Six grandsons bore her to her last

OBITUARY

Johann August Swanson was born in Vestergottland, Sweden, July 4th, 1863. He immigrated
to the United States in 1888. He lived for a short time in Wisconsin, then in Walsh County,
ND., then in the state of Virginia, from where he again returned to North Dakota, shortly be-
fore the opening of the Lake Traverse Indian Reservation. He filed on the present homestead
which is a part of that reservation, and made his home there until his death on Thursday
morning, Jan. 23, 1930. He was, at the time of his death, 66 years, 6 months and 19 days old.

He is survived by his wife, Mrs. Jennie Swanson, nee Sunde, whom he married on Jan. 4th,
1896; four sons: Oscar, Albert, Theodore and Clarence; his daughters; Clara and Alvina; one
sister, Mrs. Rev. Albert Gilseth, of Harvey, ND. , and one brother, Carl, of Cando, Canada.
He was preceeded in death by two daughters, Annie Gunhilda and Florence Evelyn.

We, who remain, will remember brother Swanson as a loving husband, father and brother,
a good neighbor and dear friend. Many years ago, Mr. Swanson accepted Jesus as his personal
Savior, and for that reason we rejoice that he will share in the glories of the Kingdom of
Christ. So we sorrow not as those who have no hope, but look forward to a better resurrect-
ion, when sorrow and tears have passed away, and death shall be no more.

Peace be his rest, blessed be his memory. Funeral services were held from the home on
Saturday afternoon, January 25th, 1930. The services were conducted by Peter Haugen, Elder
of the church of Jesus Christ, of Reynolds, ND. Interment was made at the Tyson Cemetery.

COUNTY MOURNS DEATH of PIONEER LUTHERAN MINISTER

Our community was inexpressibly shocked when telephone and telegraph brought the news
that Pastor T. Hinck, of Great Bend, had on Thursday evening, February 27th, passed away as
a result of an accident in the home of his children in Minneapolis. On Monday he had left
for Minneapolis to visit his children and to attend the sessions of a conference in St. Paul.
On Wednesday morning he partook of Communion in the conference services and then in the after
noon returned to Minneapolis. Rising from a short nap after supper he made a mistep in a
dark hall and fell headlong down a long flight of stairs, so severely injuring his spine
that he was totally paralyzed from his chest down. In spite of this terrible injury he was
perfectly conscious to the end, passing away at 8 PM., on Thursday evening, about 24 hours
after the accident. Thus ended an extraordinarily useful life in our community and in the
Lutheran Church of this section.

Pastor T. Hinck was born on January 17th, 1858, at Oberachtenhausen, Hanover, Germany,
being thus 72 years , 1 month and 9 days old at the time of his death . At the age of 17 he
came to the United States, finding a home in Missouri. Shortly thereafter he entered the
theological seminary of the Lutheran Missouri Synod, located at Springfield, IL., to prepare
for the ministry. In 1879, he was sent as a student, to Elizabeth, MN., to assist Rev. J.
Krueger, who in 1874 had been stationed in Town Berlin, later called Brandenburg, as the first
first resident Lutheran Pastor in North Dakota. In the fall of 1880 he returned to the sem-
inary, from which he was graduated in June of 1882, and assigned the call to several congre-
gations in the neighborhood of Milbank, SD. On August 13th of that year he was ordained

and installed by Rev. Bfotenhauer, now president of the Missouri Synod. He was immediately

(109)

transferred to Groton, SD., and at once began his intense activities as traveling mission-
ary of the Lutheran Church. The list of the places served by him from Groton, SD, and, sine
1884, from Ellendale reads like a lesson in the Geography of north-eastern South Dakota.
Scattered here and there from Waubay in Day County, and westward to Faulk County, from Ellen-
dale in Dickey County to Huron in Beadle, from James to the Missouri, were the stations ser-
ved by energetic young missionary. And remember, kind reader, those were the days before
the advent of the automobile and gravelled roads. These thousands of miles were travelled ir
a buckboard drawn by wiry Indian ponies or bronchos.

In the meantime the growing little congregation at Great Bend had lost its pastor, Rev.
R. Koehler, who had been called to Minnesota early in 1885. After several unsuccessful calls
their choice finally fell on the active young missionary at Ellendale, Rev. T. Hinck. He
accepted and moved to Great Bend, arriving there on Feb. 19th, 1886, and was installed the
following Sunday, Feb. 21st, in a little frame church then standing south of the present
site of the village. Forty four years he labored there in all diligence and faithfulness,
a record of long service unsurpassed by any other Lutheran pastor in the state. The Lord'
abundantly blessed his efforts. From Great Bend practically all the surrounding congregation
have been organized or at least served. Directly under his charge were the congregations in
Great Bend, Belford and Summit Townships, and south of Lidgerwood. He also began the work
in Wahpeton and preached in Fairmount. The congregation in Great Bend prospered under his
guiding care. Two churches were built, the last the large structure in Great Bend, dedicated
in 1920, as also a well equipped schoolhouse. A commodious parsonage is also the property
of the congregation, and for many years it has had its own day school in which, besides
the branches usually taught in our public schools, a thorough instruction in religion is
also given.

Pastor Hinck has also been privileged to serve the church in a larger capacity. For
many years he was circuit visitor, and when in 1910 North Dakota and Montana were organized
as a separate district of the Missouri Synod he was immediately elected as its first presid-
ent and served faithfully for 14 years. His seasoned advice, his sound common sense, his
kindly good humor were highly appreciated, especially by the younger pastors. At the time of
of his death he was first vice president of the District.

Pastor Hinck was a unique character, happy of disposition, yet firm and unyielding where
principles were at stake, with a cheerful greeting for young and old, for friend and foe. He
was devoted to his church and willing to undergo hardships for his Savior's sake, indefatig-
able in his efforts to further the cause of the Lord. Though widely known and very popular,
especially among the German element, he never dabbled in politics nor dictated to any man in
secular affairs. He felt himself in conscience bound to remain within the limits placed by
Scripture on the activities of a Christian pastor. In truth it may be said of him that his
guiding star in all his work were the words of the great missionary, the Apostle Paul, "I de-
termined not to know anything among you save Jesus Christ, and Him crucified." His passing
will be sorely felt in the church which he served so faithfully.

Pastor Hinck married on September 14th, 1886, Miss Rose Heine, of Ellendale, with whom

0-10)

he lived for nearly 44 years in a happy wedded life. Thirteen children were born to the
couple, of whom eleven are living: Albert, in Havre, MT. , Mrs. Gertrude Huebner, Hershey,
NB., Mrs. Alma Jasmer, Hankinson, Mrs. Ida Zill, Ann Arbor, MI., Marie, Rose and Walter,
Minneapolis, Waldemar, theological student in St. Louis, Bertha, John, and Ewald still at
home.

The funeral was conducted on Tuesday from the Great Bend church after a short service
at the home, led by Pastor Becker, of Wahpeton. The church was filled to overflowing by mem-
bers, friends and acquaintances who wished to pay a last tribute of respect to the departed
pastor. Many clergymen from distant points were present. Rev. J. P. Klausler preached the
German sermon, Rev.H. Schumacher, of Tyler, the English. He was laid to rest in Trinity
Cemetery south of the village of Great Bend, Rev. W. H. Cordts officiating. There he sleeps,
as he always wished, near the flock he served and awaits with them the joyful Resurrection
Morn. ********** March 6, 1930

FIND CORPSE OF BABY ON HIGHWAY

The mystery of considerable magnitude has developed in South Dakota, due to the finding
of the corpse of a newly born babe near a culvert on the New Effington Hammer highway.

examine a bundle lying by the road and made the gruesome discovery. The body was taken to

KILLED in AUTO ACCIDENT SATURDAY

Funeral services were held at St. Philip's Church on Wednesday for Peter Shipe, of
Fargo, who was killed in that city on Saturday night.

Shipe met instant death when the truck he was driving toward Moorehead collided with a
touring car operated by Nick Nelson, Moorehead laborer, on trunk hightway No. 2, a quarter
mile east of Moorehead. Both cars were catapulted into a shallow ditch on the north side
of the road when the fenders on the machines locked, according to police. The Fargo man's
skull was fractured in several places when he was crushed in the cab of the truck as it
rolled over, while Nelson, his mother, and a sister and brother in the touring car escaped
without injury.

According to Nelson he had turned out for a pedestrian on the concrete paving and ret-
urned to the roadway when he noticed Shipe' s truck approaching at a high rate of speed.
When the two cars met his machine was almost at a standstill, he said.

Peter Shipe was born near Hankinson, July 21st, 1905. His father is still living, and
his mother passed away some time ago. One brother, Raymond, lives in Center Township, as
does a sister, Mrs. Francis Crocket.

FUNERAL OF J. E. BUDACK HELD TUESDAY

Another of the pioneers of the country southwest of Hankinson was called in death, when
on last Sunday morning, John C. Budack was summond to his reward. He was born on June 2nd,
1884, in Pommerania, Germany. As a young man he served during the entire Franco-Prussian
War. On Nov. 21st, 1873, he was married to Mathilde Koch. Two sons and two daughters were
born to them while yet in Germany. In 1885 the Budack family emigrated from Germany coming
to North Dakota, and finding a home in Belford. Mr. Budack was employed on the old Keystone
farm, until in 1888 he decided to strike out for himself by homesteading a tract of land in
Duerr Township. There he lived for 22 years, coming to Hankinson in the spring of 1910.

Even in his old age Mr. Budack was physically a very active man, until around Christmas
time when he began to fail, gradually growing weaker, until finally death came on Sunday
morning. He had reached an age of not quite 82 years. He is survived by his widow, with
whom he shared for nearly 57 years the joys and sorrows of married life, by two sons, Frank,
now in Fergus Falls, former sheriff of Richland County, and Herman, now on the old homestead.
Two daughters, Auguste and Elise, died as the wives of Mr. Deede, Tyler, and Wm. Martin, resp
ectively. When the latter died she left a family of four small children, which were then
taken into the home of the grandparents who faithfully provided for them.

He is also survived by 16 grandchildren and 21 great-grandchildren. Six grandsons acted
as pallbearers. The funeral was conducted on Tuesday from the Lutheran Church, of which he
had been a lifelong member, and was in charge of Rev. J. P. Klausler.

J. J. JONES IS CALLED BY DEATH

The numbers of the pioneers of Richland County are thining, and this week Hankinson
was shocked to learn of the death of another pioneer, when J. J. Jones answered the final
call of death on Friday. Mr. Jones had been ill only a short time but the ravages of pneu-
monia took its toll.

Funeral services were conducted by Hankinson Masonic Lodge, Rev. Smith delivering the
sermon at the church, and read the following obituary for the departed pioneer.

Jonadab J. Jones, one of the pioneer settlers and builders of the city of Hankinson,
was the fourth child of Evan and Harriet Jones, of Neenah, WI., and was born on Sept. 28th,
1862. He was one of a family of eleven children, eight boys and three girls, nine of whom
were early settlers in North Dakota.

He was married in June of 1893 to Miss Effie B. Hawes at her home in Good Thunder, MN.
At the age of three years he went to live with his maternal grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. John
Roberts, at California Farm, near Randolph, WI . There he spent his youth and received his

(120)

education in the country schools. He went to Ripon, WI., in 1879, as an apprentice in the
Bateman Flour Mills, remaining there three years, and afterwards went to Neenah, WI., the
home of his parents, where he worked in the Clemens and Stevens Flour Mills at night while
attending the Neenah schools during the day. He remained in Neenah about two years, after
which he went to Shawano, WI., as head miller for the Shawano Milling Company.

In 1888 he came to Hankinson, ND., and built the Hankinson Roller Mills of which he was
sole owner. He continued in business at this mill until August 13th, 1913, when it was com-
pletely wiped out by fire. Since that time he has been engaged in the flour and feed busine
in Hankinson.

He was a regular attendant at church from the time he was a mere boy. He joined the
Presbyterian Church in Neenah, WI., in 1883. Since living in Hankinson he as been a faith-
ful member of the Union Congregational Church where his Christian character and fine, ster-
ling qualities were soon recognized and he was elected to the highest honor that the church
can provide, the office of deacon. The deacon is the spiritual Counselor and guide, settin
the example for others and particularly youth to follow. He fulfilled this office so well
that he was continually re-elected and served as deacon ever since, thirty-seven years in al
His right to that office is well attested to in the community where nothing but good has eve:
been said about him. We are all prone to make mistakes and all too quickly criticized and
it means much to say that he was beloved by all. He radiated joy wherever he went. He also
served as treasurer of the church for many years. He was a member of the local Woodmen and
Masonic Lodges .

Early in the morning of Friday, May 2nd, he passed away at the age of 68 years. Looking
upon his earthly remains we were clearly impressed with the fact that his spirit had depart-
ed. The smile and the twinkle in his eye were absent, they were a part of his eternal soul
and death, the purging agent, had separated this soul from the mortal body. In life he lovec
fellowship with his God and in death he went to be nearer HIM. In the morning of the new da\
we shall see him and we shall rejoice with him. His earthly remains were reverently placed
in the bosom of Mother Earth on Sunday May 4th, amid the sorrow of his many friends who will
miss his presence in our community.

He is survived by his widow; two sons, Nad H., Hankinson, and Donald B. Jones, on the
cruiser Pensacola at present in South American waters; two sisters, Mrs. James Novak, of New
Effington, and Mrs. Ellen Young, of Yorba Linda, CA. , six brothers, John R. Jones; Benjamin
R. Jones, of Hankinson, David J. Jones, of Forman, Dan R. Jones, of Wahpeton, and William L.
Jones and Robert T. Jones, of Neenah, Wisconsin.

TRAGIC DEATH of ORION KEIL

Relatives and friends were terribly shocked on Monday to receive word from Appleton,
MN., announcing the finding of the body of Orion Keil in a grove near that city. Investi-
gation showed that the young man had been dead about five weeks.

Orion left just five weeks ago, intending to go to the Twin Cities. He stopped over
at Appleton, and inquired about prospects for work. He stayed over that night in a hotel
and wrote a letter to his parents here. Next morning he got up and left. No word was
heard from Orion again by relatives, until the report telephoned on Monday of the gruesome
find.

Orion left Wheaton Easter Sunday upon which day he was in a car accident. Following
the accident he complained of injuries to his head and back, and it is thought that death
was due to these causes.

The body was found by a young farm lad who was passing the grove. He saw a man's hat
and upon investigation, found the body. From the posture of the corpse the lad had laid
down, and his head was resting on his arm.

Orion Keil was the fourth son of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Keil of this city, and was born
in Hankinson in 1907, being at the time of his death, 23 years old. The young man attended
and graduated from Hankinson schools in 1927 and since that time had been engaged in farming
at the home place seven miles southeast of town.

Funeral services were held today at the home at 10 AM., and at the Congregational Church

FUNERAL RITES FOR FRED. K. RADLOFF
Funeral services for Friedrick Karl Radloff were held at 2 o'clock Wednesday at the
home, in this city, Rev. Meier conducting the services before a house filled with mourners
paying last tribute to a pioneer of Hankinson who had immigrated to this country from Ger-
many, and following many years of active work had retired and was making his home in this
city where he was well liked and a friend of all who knew him.

Pallbearers were all lifelong friends namely: Chas. Spreckles, Henry Hoffman, Carl
Zander, Julius Dreager, John Peitz and Geo. Kuhlwein.

Friedrick Karl Radloff, was born at Cartzig, Kreis Naugard, Prussia, Germany on Jan.
13th, 1872, being at the time of his death 58 years, 6 months and 22 days old.

In the year of 1890 he immigrated to the United States and settled in Hankinson. Here

he established a home, and on December 15th, 1893, was united in marriage to Miss Ida
Trepkow, Rev. Warnke performing the ceremony at the Hankinson Evangelical Church.

This union was blessed with nine children, three of whom preceeded their father in
death: Adelaide, in infancy/ Edward, aged four, and Gerhard in the World War in 1918. Sur-
viving to mourn their loss are a loving wife and six children: Fritz and wife, Oscar, Arthur,
Helmut, Heinrich and Walter; also six brothers and two sisters, Fred Franz, Richard and Mrs.
Martha Kahn of this county, and Robert Heinrich, Gustave and Mrs. Erma Reimer, all of German-

The tragic death occurred at about 12 o'clock Monday, following two years of illness
from cancer, which ailment had been aggravated during the severe hot weather of the past
several days. Failure to find relief, although given competent medical attention, caused
him to become despondent and afflicted with heart trouble and a nervous condition. The body
was discovered by his wife at 2 o'clock Friday afternoon, and a physician called, but it was
too late. Mr. Radloff had left home at about 10 o'clock and was absent several hours. His
wife was out looking after her work, when she discovered the body sagged across a rope sus-
pended from a tree in the rear of the Kvolski house on the north side of town.

LADS BURNED TO DEATH IN DEXTER

A calamity in Dexter Township early Saturday resulted in 10 year old Lumier and 8 year
old Raymond Pokornski being burned to death, and three other members of the family, includ-
ing the parents, receiving burns when, in some unknown manner, the building caught fire and
spread so rapidly that escape was very near impossible, except for an heroic father and mot-
her.- Raymond died in the hospital where he had been taken for treatment.

A double funeral for the two lads was held on Tuesday at Lidgerwood. Mr. Pokornski had
risen in the early morning to begin his day's work, the other members of the family remain-
ing in bed. Half an hour later, while he was in the barn, he heard his wife scream, and upon
answering, discovered the building was on fire, the flames at the south side of the kitchen
spreading with great rapidity due to a high wind and the tinder like condition of the build-
ing. The mother, with rare presence of mind, and courage, rescued the baby, who was sleep-
ing downstairs, although she sustained severe burns while performing the act.

Mr. Pokornski, as soon as he could reach the blazing house, began rescue work. He en-
ticed his son, Raymond, aged eight, to jump from the upstairs, but only after the boy had
been severely burned. The father then secured a ladder, ascended, and entered the blazing
room, where the two sons had been asleep. He reached the bed but the boy was not there, nor
could he be located in the smoke filled room. Apparently the boy had attempted to leave the
room, but succumbed near the door, as the charred remains of the body were found directly
below the room.

Mr. Pokornski was badly burned about the body and arms while rescuing members of the
family. The home and contents were destroyed, nothing being saved. Although neighbors
responded quickly when the fire was noted, they arrived to late to be of . assistance.

The Pokornski home is on the Sargent-Richland County line eight miles northwest of

Lidgerwood, and these people are pioneer resident of Richland County.

FORMER LOCAL PRINTER KILLED
Paul Landsem, former Hankinson NEWS printer, was killed Sunday afternoon, near Valley
City, when the car in which he and Editor Heinze, of Valley City, were riding was struck by
the North Coast Limited.

The Landsem family seem to be very unlucky. Three or four years ago Paul fell from an
elevator on which he was working and was convalescing. Last summer Paul's sister was drown-
ed when swimming in the Sheyenne River, and Sunday's tragic accident takes the second member
of the family through violent death.

The FORUM reports the accident as follows :

Battered almost beyond recognition when their car was hit by the speeding east bound

(146)

North Coast Limited on Sunday afternoon, George Heinze and Paul Landsem, of Valley City,
were instantly killed about three miles west of Tower City.

Heinze, city editor of the Valley City Peoples Opinion, weekly newspaper, and Paul
Landsem, a printer on that paper, were en route to Tower City. They had been driving par-
allel to the tracks and swung abruptly to the south in front of the train. It is believed
that they did not see the train, which was behind them, and that they did not hear the warn-
ing signal of the locomotive .

The car was carried several hundred yards before it was knocked from the locomotive
by a semaphore mast and it was several hundred yards more before the train was brought to
a halt.

The car, a Nash sedan, was smashed to bits by the force of the impact. J. C. Beech,
Jamestown engineer of the locomotive on the death train, told of the accident in Fargo on
Monday. "The first warning I had," he said, "was when my fireman, A. E. Robideau, jumped
from his box and flung his hands over his head. Then I felt the crash. By that time I had
my brakes set. A signal mast jarred the bodies loose and parts of the car were flung along
the track. The car came in from the north, and as we were heading east, I didn't see it
before we hit."

Paul was employed on the NEWS in 1929, and left in October of that year for Valley
City, where he had since made his home. During his residence here he made many friends,
who are shocked to hear of his untimely demise.

from causes resulting from exposure on January 2nd, at the local hospital, where he had

At Christmas time he was found by people of Hankinson in his shack, south of town, in
a very miserable condition. Dr. Beithon was called and ordered his immediate removal to the
Krump Hospital, where he received the necessary care. There was not very much hope for the
patient, for when' found in his little dwelling, his hands and feet were frozen and gangrene
had set in, and eventually caused his death.

Gustave Buttig was born in Zwickau, Saxon, Germany in 1860. He came to the United States
about 1886 and settled first in New York. In 1892 he came to North Dakota and has lived in
the Hankinson community ever since. He was a butcher by trade, but followed other lines to
earn a livelihood.

Funeral services were held at the Wipperman Undertaking Parlors on Saturday, Rev. J. H.
Meier, giving an appropriate funeral address and said a prayer at the grave. He was buried

EMMA KRIESEL DIED SUNDAY

Miss Emma Kriesel passed away Sunday, following an illness of only 40 hours of spinal
meningitis, the disease being aggravated by pneumonia, which she contracted suddenly.

Miss Kriesel, who has been engaged in her profession in this community for many years,
was serving in her duties as nurse, for the Springer boy who was suffering with the afore-
mentioned malady, and in the course of her duties she contracted the disease which ended
fatally.

Emma, as she was known to all her many friends, was indeed an exemplary nurse, worthy
of her hire, and she has entered many homes where love, ability, patience and constant toil
were necessary to save the life of ailing persons. She devoted her life to the care of suf-
fering humanity, and was enabled to see many restored to health through her tender care. She
performed her work gladly and conscientiously, even at the risk of her own life. Many over
whom she watched during their illness will cherish happy memories of the days when she spared
neither time nor strength in helping others to regain health.

Her untimely demise berefits the community of one greatly needed and leaves a work that
few can so ably accomplish. She sacrificed her life in the service of humanity, and as the
martyrs of her profession throughout the ages, she would probably have chosen to serve until
the slender cord of life had parted.

Funeral services were conducted at the residence Tuesday afternoon, Rev. Schroeder, of
Great Bend, conducting the services. Pallbearers were life long friends, for the deceased
had resided in this county all of her life. Burial was made in Hillside Cemetery.

Emma Kriesel was born in Jackson County, WI., on April 29th, 1872, and ended her earthly
pilgrimage at Hankinson, Jan. 18th, 1931, after a few days of intense suffering, at the age
of 58 years, 8 months and 20 days.

In 1880 she came , with her parents , to Dakota Territory in the vicinity of what is now
Great Bend; residing on a farm northwest of Great Bend. About thirty years ago the family
retired from farming to make their home in the city of Hankinson . Emma , as most of us called
her, accompanied her parents to the new home and helped care for her parents in old age until

JUDGE LAUDER DIED SUNDAY

Judge W. S. Lauder, for 50 years a moving figure in North Dakota, died at his home in
Wahpeton on Sunday at 10 AM.

A paralytic stroke suffered three years ago and which had confined Judge Lauder to
his bed for the last year was the cause of his death.

Coming to North Dakota, as he often termed it "with $60 and a lot more ambition,"
he had held many posts of trust. He was one of the survivors of North Dakota's constitu-
tional conventions of 1889.

With the admission of North Dakota as a state he was elected district judge, a post
he held for 15 years before resigning in 1905 to run for congress, being defeated.

He resumed private law practice for a number of years, and in 1932 took his son Max,
into his firm and with the death of the late Senator W. E. Purcell a few years ago, enlarged
the firm to Lauder, Heder and Lauder, with the addition of J. A. Heder, former partner of
Senator Purcell.

Judge Lauder was married in Wisconsin to Nettie McKean 54 years ago and she survives
him together with the son Max, another son, Ray Scott Lauder, of Chicago and two daughters
Mrs. Frances Ambler, Lake Forest, IL. , who served as a nurse during the war in France and a
painting of whom was hung in Washington as portraying the typical American Red Cross nurse;
another daughter, Rose, a licensed aviatrix, secretary of the Paul Waukee Airport, Lake For-
est, IL.

Funeral services were held on Wednesday at 2:30 PM., from the Wahpeton Congregational
Church of which Judge Lauder had long been a member, preceeded by a private service for
the family. Burial will be made in Fairview Cemetery at Wahpeton.

LIDGERWOOD MAN COMMITS SUICIDE

James Franta, 52, Lidgerwood man, committed suicide on Saturday, by hanging himself.
He had been in ill health for some time.

Franta had been living at the home of his brother, Cyril Franta, at Lidgerwood. Sat-
urday he was believed to have gone fishing, but when he failed to return on Monday morning,
the family began to wonder about him.

Friends were called in an effort to find out what had become of the man. Finally, it
was suggested that a search be made of the barn where he kept his fishing tackle to find
out whether he had gone fishing or not.

Mrs. Cyril Franta entered the building and found the body hanging by a rope. A doc-
tor was called and County Coroner L. E. Lester went to Lidgerwood on Monday morning.
Death was pronounced as due to suicide.

There are three Franta brothers living at Lidgerwood and the dead man. They are:
Frank, Joe and Cyril. They own a hardware store there. However, James Franta was not
connected with the store, but was a laborer. He had no family, save his brothers.

CARL SEDLER

Death is rapidly thinning the ranks of the pioneer settlers of Richland County who
came to this section of the state when Indians yet roamed the primeval prairies, and by
dint of hard labor and prudent thrift transformed it into a prosperous farming community.

One of these pioneers was Carl Sedler, who, born in Germany on August 24, 1853, emi-
grated to this country in 1876, staying for three years in Wisconsin in the Fon du Lac nei-
ghborhood. In 1870 he came to Richland County taking up a homestead in Brandenburg; about
8 miles north of Hankinson. Some of his time before farming demanded his constant attent-
ion, he spent as a laborer on the Dwight farm and also in railroading, working as fireman
for the Great Northern, when cord wood was still the only fuel used.

On August 8th, 1882, he was married to Miss Anna Lutter at Wahpeton. Six children
were born to this union, of whom all but one survive. In the fall of 1915 he moved to
Hankinson where he intended to spend his decling years. On Feb. 5th, 1921 his faithful
helpmate died. From then on he made his home with his children, in Wahpeton, Gull Lake,
Sask., but chiefly with his son, Robert, on the old homestead. Aggravated kidney trouble
necessitated his removal on May 14th to the Wahpeton Hospital where he died on Sunday even-
ing at the age of 77 years and 9 months.

He is survived by the following children: Mrs. Mary Buck, Gull Lake, Sask; Mrs. Mar-
tha Holthusen, Wahpeton; Emil, in Minneapolis; Robert, on the old farm and Mrs. Alma Bla-
dow, Hankinson. One daughter died in infancy. There are also four brothers still living:
William, of Wahpeton; Albert, Havana; Herman, Hankinson; and Theodore in St. Paul, and 12
grandchildren .

~" Funeral services were held yesterday (Wednesday) from the Lutheran Church of which he
had been a member since his removal to town. Interment took place in the Lutheran Cemetery

at the side of his wife.

Northern train, "The Empire Builder," eight miles southeast of Moorhead at 4:30 o'clock
yesterday afternoon. All coaches of the train were derailed, the huge engine alone re-
maining on the track.

The train left Fargo at 4:15 and ran into the storm while traveling 55 miles per hour.

over into Minnesota where great damage was reported. The cloud referred to made a noise

WHITE ROCK MAN MURDERS GIRL
Kills Self as Police Chief Arrives to Arrest

BISMARCK, ND.r June 3rd An inquest into the death of Lyle Tramp, 26, who inflicted

fatal wounds on himself after killing Ila Moffit, 22, will be held this afternoon, it was
announced by Coronor W. E. Perry of Burleigh County.

Miss Hazel Cherley, the girl's room-mate, fled from the apartment after her companion1:
unwelcome suitor threatened her.

The shooting culminated several threats made by Tramp following his rejection by Miss
Moffit last Christmas. Her friend said she had intended to ask aid of the police to pre-
vent Tramp from molesting her, but put the matter off because of the friendship between her
family and that of Tramp.

Miss Moffit was shot through the heart, the bullet causing instantaneous death. Ano-
ther shot was sent through her shoulder, apparently after she had fallen to the floor.

Tramp fired a bullet into his head as Chief of Police C. J. Martineson started to
open the door of the girl's apartment when he heard a shot. He entered and found Tramp
lying on the floor. Taken to a hospital, Tramp died two hours later without regaining
consciousness .

Ila Moffit was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. D. W. Moffit, Richland County farmers
residing north of Barney.

Miss Moffit was a graduate of the State School of Science at Wahpeton. She is surviv-
ed by her parents, two brothers, Corwin and Verlin at home, and a sister, Mrs. Earl Penning-
ton, residing near Barney.

Tramp was born at White Rock, SD., and grew to manhood there, attending high school
there. He attended one year of college and then went into the employ of the Power Company
at Huron, SD., going to Bismarck about three years ago.

Close friends of Tramp's state that he was an intelligent sort of a young man, stud-
ious and possessed no bad habits. Sunday he was in good spirits, accompanying a group of
friends to Beulah. This morning, however, he was melancholy and questioned by friends as
to what was ailing him replied, "I'm tired."

Tramp's parents survive him and are presently believed to be living in San Franciso.
He has a sister living at Wessington Springs, SD. Tramp was said to have been working ind-
ustriously for several years, saving money in order that he might attend an institution of
higher learning. ********** June 4, 1931

PIONEER WOMEN CALLED IN DEATH

Mrs. Michael Krueger, a pioneer woman of Richland County passed away at a Minneapolis
hospital at 2 PM., June 18th, following a prolonged illness from cancer. Mrs. Krueger 's
health began failing several years ago, and she was taken to the Breckenridge hospital wher
she remained critically ill for some time. She recovered, however, and returned home. In
early spring her condition became critical and on May 20th she was removed to Minneapolis
where specialists administered, but to no avail, and she was called to the Great Beyond las
Thursday at the age of 82 years.

Funeral services were held at the Belford Lutheran Church on Sunday, May 21st, Rev.
Cordts conducting the services. A great many friends attended the services to pay last
respects to this pioneer mother, who was so loved by all. Many hundreds were prevented
from attending by the severe rain storm which prevailed Sunday. The flower girls and pall
bearers were all grandchildren, who with heavy hearts, took their grandmother to her last
resting place.

Surviving to mourn their loss are: her aged husband; four children, W. E. Krueger,
Mrs. Wm. Medenwaldt, Mrs. Wm. Knaack, all of Hankinson; and Mrs. H. S. Chapin, of Minnea-
polis; one son and two daughters preceeding her in death.

Ernestine Krueger was born and grew to womanhood in Schmischkowa, Province of Posen,
Germany. Here she met and was married to Michael Krueger. In 1870 they immigrated to the
United States, and first settled, to make their home, in Iron Ridge, MI., where they resided
for ten years. In March of 1880, they moved to Dakota Territory and took up a homestead in
Belford Township, where she made her home for fifty-one years. Here, with her husband and
family, she endured the hardships and privations of the pioneers, and with unfaltering cou-
rage and thrift, reared a fine family and established a beautiful home, a monument to her
memory. Through the earlier years of her residence in Richland County, when transportation
was meagre, these hardy people often drove with horses or oxen some sixty miles to secure
sustenance for their family. The history of the Northwest's prairie mothers is the history
of Mrs. Krueger.

Deceased was an exemplary Christian and placed, without reservation, her hopes and fait
in the Lord Jesus Christ. She was a Life member of the Lutheran Church and her ideals and
substantial work for her church has left an indelible record in the hearts of her relatives
and friends that time can never erase .

DAVID JONES DIED AT FORMAN

D. J. Jones, another of those stalwart citizens of North Dakota's pioneer days, died
early on the morning of July 13th at his home in Forman, ND. He was born in Neenah, WI . ,
on November 24th, 1864, of rugged Welsh stock. He was a brother of John R. Jones and Ben
Jones, the late Evan Jones and J. J. Jones, of this city and Mrs. James Novak, of White Rock.
Mr. Jones was the 5th child of 11 children, 8 boys and 3 girls. An adventuring spirit and
ambition brought all but two of these children to our state, John R. Jones, of this city,
leading the way. Their untiring energy, courage and intergrity has gained for them places
of respect in this section of the country.

David J. Jones came to Hankinson in 1885. Later he managed John R's interests at
Straubville and Rutland. Many tales of Dave's unconquerable strength and indomnible courage
date back to this period of his life. Baseball and hunting were his favorite hobbies during
the prime of his life.

About this time he met his wife, Jennie Hannum, of Massachusetts. They were married
in St. Paul, on January 4th, 1894.

In 1900 he was elected sheriff of Sargent County and moved to Forman where he has
since made his home. During the last 27 years he has been engaged in his private business.

(173)

For the past 20 years he has been handicapped by diabetes which resulted in a number
of bad accidents. Since Nov. 10th, when he was in an auto accident, his physical decline
has been very marked reaching the climax when he was stricken with paralysis on July 4th,
from which he never recovered.

Funeral services were held on Wednesday at 2 o'clock at the Congregational Church in
Forman. Rev. Langenes preached the sermon and the Masonic Lodge, of which he was a member,
conducted the services at the cemetery.

He is survived by Mrs. Jones, a son and daughter, a grand daughter, Vivian Ruth Jones;
five brothers, John R. and Ben, of Hankinson; Dan R. , of Wahpeton; Robert and Wm. of Neenah,
WI; two sisters, Mrs. James Novak, of White Rock and Ellen Young, of Yorba Linda, CA.

The pall bearers were R. E. Hurly, C. A. Walloch, Bert Thompson, A. Leslie, Floyd

TERRIBLE ACCIDENT AT ROSHOLT

A terrible accident, which caused the death of Gladys Heifner, happened at the Heif-
ner home last Monday afternoon. Lola Heifner, a younger sister, was starting a fire to
get lunch, and used a small tomato can of what was supposed to be kerosene.

A few coals were still in the stove, which caused a slight explosion and set the oil
in the can on fire. Lola ran out and threw the oil, and as it happened it went directly
onto Mrs. Heifner and daughter, Gladys. Their clothing caught and they were both instant-
ly enveloped in flames. Mrs. Heifner ran into the house and smothered the flames with
blankets, but Gladys ran to the grove and before her clothing could be gotten off she was
fatally burned. Doctors from Rosholt and Wheaton were summoned and after first aid, they
were rushed to Wheaton hospital, where Gladys died at 7 o'clock Tuesday evening. Her body
was burned practically all over, and she also inhaled some of the flames.

Her mother, Mrs. Heifner, was also severly burned, but is recovering. Lola suffered
only a slight burn on one of her hands .

Gladys Heifner was about 18 years old and had graduated from the Rosholt High School
just last spring. She was a splendid girl and hosts of friends here mourn with the sorrow-
ing parents, Mr. and Mrs. S. Heifner.

The funeral services were held on Friday, July 31st, at 1 o'clock from the family
