Obituary James C. Smith was born at Iowa City,
IA., August 21, 1876. Died at his claim six miles west of Beach, April 26,
1908, and was therefore 31 years of age at the time of death. About ten
years ago Mr. Smith was united in marriage to Miss Annie Palmer of London,
England, at Iowa City, the fruit of this union being two girls, one seven
years of age, while the other is only a few months old. They came to the
Golden Valley a year ago last October and settled on a claim six miles west
of this village. He was a man of sterling character and during his residence
here had builded (sic) for himself an enviable reputation for honesty,
industry and sobriety. He was a member of the local lodge of Modern Woodman
and that organization had charge of the funeral, which was held at the Beach
school house on Thursday, April 30, at eleven a.m., Rev. Douglas preaching
the sermon. Interment was made at the cemetery south of town. Mr. Smith
was sick but a short time and in his early taking away the wife, fatherless
children and members of his family have the sympathy of this community.
Besides his immediate family he leaves two brothers and eight sisters. One
brother, Lewis C. Smith, was here to attend the funeral and will remain
until such time as is necessary to put the affairs of the deceased in
running order. The Beach Advance, Beach, Billings Co, North Dakota, May 8th, 1908

James Calvin, Dead
The funeral of James M. Calvin of the
W-Bar ranch, located on Beaver Creek some thirteen miles north of Wibaux,
was held at Miles City last Sunday and was largely attended. Two weeks
ago Mr. Calvin had the misfortune to have saddle horse fall on him while
attempting to lead a colt to water and while his hips were crushed and
dislocated, no bones were broken. An attack of constipation set in and was
followed by an attack of peritonitis which caused his death. Mr. Calvin
was a native of Pennsylvania but came west a number of years ago, locating
at Miles City, Mont., where he and two of his brothers established the
Calvin Investment Company. He was the official head of this enterprise for a
number of years and still retains an interest, but four years ago went to
the W-Bar ranch, where he has since lived. He leaves as an immediate family
a wife and three children, besides a mother and three brothers. His mother
was here at time of death having come out for a visit. In the untimely death
of a son, husband and brother they have the sympathy of the community.
Mr. Calving enjoyed a wide and very favorable acquaintance in this part of
the country and was a man in whom people had the greatest confidence. Of a
strictly moral nature and upright character he made friends with all with
whom he came in contact and will be greatly missed in the circle in which he
was leading a spirit. He was a member of the order of Elks and was buried
under the auspices of that society. May his ashes rest in peace. The Beach Advance, Beach, Billings Co, North Dakota, May 22nd, 1908

Rattle Snake Claims Victim - - - Poison Spread Rapidly
and Death Follows Eight Hours Later - - - Suffers Untold Agony - -
- Attempted to Pull Snake Out of Hole After Tromping on His Body - - -
J. J. Barley, who was making his home with his son, Elgie William
Barley, six miles north of Sentinel Butte, received a snake bite Tuesday
about noon from the effects of which he died about 8 o'clock in the evening.
Mr. Barley and his son were crossing a field when they saw a rattle snake
and the old gentlemen managed to catch him just as he was trying to enter a
hold in the ground. After tromping on the snake he took his knife and cut
off the rattles, then drove the knife through the snake and pulled him from
the hole. As the head of the snake was withdrawn he turned and fastened his
fangs in the hand of his opponent. The wound was immediately cut open with
the idea of reducing the poison by a free flow of blood and a little later a
strap was put about the wrist. Dr. Museus was sent for, arriving at the bed
side of Mr. Barley about 4:30, but he was then in a moribund condition with
absolutely no pulse at all. Everything possible was done for him but to no
avail and Mr. Barley passed to the great beyond at about 8 o'clock, or
something like eight hours after the accident. From the condition in
which Dr. Museus found the patient he is of the opinion that Mr. Barley had
a weak heart to start with which assisted in his rapid taking away. Mr.
Barley was 57 years of age and leaves as an immediate family four grown
children, only one of whom lives in this part of the country, and with whom
he was making his home at time of death.

occurred at the home of Mr. and Mrs. H W. Peek last Tuesday morning, at
which time their daughter, Miss K. Julia Peek, pronounced the words which
made her the wife of Emerys Lloyd. This long looked for event occurred on
the morning of June 30, at 8 o'clock in the presence of only those of the
bride's family who were able to be there. The morning was one of North
Dakota's best, clear and cool, the air was fragrant with the perfume of wild
flowers. The bride was dressed in white Persian lawn which was afterwards
changed for a grey shadow striped traveling suit trimmed in satin and hand
made lace, with hat and gloves to match. The groom wore the conventional
black and traveled in a brown business suit. After the ceremony a dainty
wedding breakfast was served. The young couple left on the morning train for
Oshkosh, Wis, the home of the groom's parents. Mrs. Lloyd has been a
successful teacher for several years in South Dakota and Missouri, coming
here two years ago to take up a homestead. Mr. Lloyd has charge of the Chase
Lumber Company's elevator at this place and commands the respect of the
entire community for the manner in which he has conducted himself while
here. Both of these people are deservedly popular and their many friends
join The Advance in wishing them health, happiness and prosperity through
life's journey. On returning from their visit in Wisconsin they will

of single blessedness. The happy couple returned to Beach Tuesday evening
and at once began house keeping in rooms over Dickinson & Power's store,
adjacent to the rooms occupied by Dr. Smith as an office. Dr. Smith
located in Beach about the time the editor of The Advance began to get busy
with his first issue and since then has made many friends among the people
of the Golden Valley. In a professional way he has had a ripe experience for

people here. The friends of the happy couple here extend them a hearty

Obituary - - - Miles Morgan Tuller, Father of Frank M.
of this City, Dies in Wisconsin - - - The following notice of the
death of Miles Morgan Tullar is taken from the Evansville, (Wisconsin)
Review of the issue of July 23: Miles Morgan Tullar quietly passed away
Friday evening, at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Laura Taggart, aged 92
years. Mr. Tullar was one of the Pioneer settlers of Evansville, coming
here in 1844, with a young wife, and after a brief stop, purchased a farm a
few miles southwest of the city and followed the avocation \of farming till
old age necessitated a rest from his labors. He was a man widely known and
respected by a large circle of friends. Although quiet and unassuming in
disposition, there was a vein of humor which would crop out in his
conversation with personal friends which made him a pleasant companion.
Nothwithstanding his age, his mental faculties were keen and his activity as
light as many men of half his age. His jaunts to where he enjoyed the
meetings with old-time friends, were of daily occurrence and his absence
will be missed by many. His final sickness was short, and he was ready for
the summons to come and meet his life-companion, who proceeded him only a
few short years ago. M. M. Tullar was born in Cayuga county, N.Y., May
23, 1816. In January 1842, he was united in marriage to Miss Lusbe Ann
Gallop, who was a faithful and loving companion for 58 years when she was
called to her home beyond. To this union thirteen children were born, ten of
whom are living and are: John M., Walter D., Fred, Earl and Mrs. Laura
Taggart all of this city, Mrs. Emma Layton and Elmer of Eugene, Ore., Frank
M. of Beach, N.D., Mrs. Carrie Grove of LeMars, Ia., Miles of Lennox, S.
Dak. Funeral services were held Sunday afternoon at his late home and
were largely attended. The Rev. D. Grabill officiating. The Beach Advance, Beach, Billings Co, North Dakota, August 7th, 1908

Was It Murder - - - A Little Gun Play at Marmarth
Furnished an Exciting Time Monday Evening - - - Only One Dead - - -
Claim is Made That Revolver was Accidentally Discharged - Conflicting
Evidence - - - Last Monday night at Marmarth a little gun play was had
as a result of which a person who went by the name of Blanche Marshall but
whose real name is supposed to be Mrs. Margaret Welcher, was fatally shot,
dying almost immediately after receiving the wound. Both were inmates of a
bagnio. Evidence before the corner's jury was considerably conflicting.
It was claimed by the defendant and her friends that the revolver was
discharged accidently, but whether this is the case will probably remain for
determination at the preliminary hearing. Henry Feldhousen, corner, John
Keohane, state's attorney and G. D. Lovell were those from Beach who were
present at the corner's inquest. The Beach Advance, Beach, Billings Co, North Dakota, August 21st, 1908

Left on the Door Step - - - A. J. Schuler's Family
Increased by One Last Week While They Were Absent - - - Finds A Good
Home - - - Little Waif Will Be Treated as One of Their Own Family
Until of Age - - - When A. J. Schuler arrived home last Friday evening
after an absence of several days, he found a strange face among the children
and upon inquiry found that a baby girl had been left on the door step of
his home on Wednesday morning. Both Mr. and Mrs. Schuler were away at the
time, Mr. Schuler being on a canvassing trip while his wife was on a visit
to relatives in Cavalavier county, this state. The cries of a child were
heard by the housekeeper, Mrs. Mary Frank, after she had retired and upon
investigation she found a little bundle on the doorstep, in the folds of
which was a baby girl and the following letter: My Dear Friends; - I
come to your door for shelter, so please take me in and be good to me, for I
am a homeless child, and I ask you to keep me as your own child. And I shall
be good to you when I grow up. And God bless you for your kindness. I am
a Roman Catholic child and I am baptized in the Catholic church and my name
is Alma. Please call my last name after your own family. I was born on the
29th day of September, 1907. But for God's sake don't cast me out. For my
sake be good to me and call me you own, or if you are not Catholic please
hand me to some good catholic, for I want to be raised as a Roman Catholic
child. God bless you. Mr. Schuler lives on the Joe Morris place southeast
of town and whether or not the person who left the child knew him and his
wife personally, there is no way of knowing, for no trace of the child's
parentage has been discovered. It is rather frail but at this writing is
doing nicely. While Mr. and Mrs. Schuler have four children of their own
they have found a place in their hearts and home for the little stranger and
unless someone can prove a rightful ownership it will be cared for as one of
their own family. While, perhaps, there is little excuse for criticizing
the parents of the child, it would seem a blessing that the girl has found a
home with Mr. and Mrs. Schuler rather than to have shared the life and moral
atmosphere of a mother who would leave her own flesh and blood to the care
of strangers. The Beach Advance, Beach, Billings Co, North Dakota, August 28th, 1908
Big Event At Yates - - - Two People, Prominent in Wibaux
Social Circles, Steal a March on Friends - - - The poet Burns has it
that "The best laid plans of mice and men Gang aft agley." (sic) Sadly it is
true that such is frequently the case. Once in a while, however, they work
all right, as is seen in the event of last Thursday evening. So skillfully
did Prof. Baird and Miss Bessie M. Barnes lay their marriage plans that for
once Wibaux was caught napping. She was startled next morning to read the
marriage announcement of her beloved principal and his assistant. The news
came like a thunder bolt out of a clear sky. It almost took away the
people's breath. They rubbed their eyes and pinched themselves to see if
they were awake, exclaiming: "Is it possible? Can it be true?" The
weather man must have had something to do in helping the naughty professor
and his blooming bride, for he brewed a big storm for the occasion. Just at
the time when the preacher was pronouncing the solemn words that made them
man and wife, the storm was at its height, thus helping to cover the whole
scheme. But if the storm was raging wildly without, all was quiet and
peaceful within the modest dwelling of Prof. Baird's at Yates. Hither had
come a few guests, seemingly to do honor to Mr. Williams and his Kentucky
bride, but in reality to witness the union of Mr. Baird and Miss Barnes.
Promptly at 8 o'clock Rev. Alex Douglas tied the knot that made them happy.
After the marriage the invited guests sat down to a sumptuous feast smuggles
in from Wibaux and Beach for the joyous occasion. The rest of the evening
was spent in pleasant pastime and conversation. The bride, Miss Bessie M.
Barnes, is well known and highly respected in Wibaux, where she has taught
the village urchins for the past five years. During her residence there she
has won a host of warm friends and established for herself a fine reputation
as an instructor. She is an earnest christian and actively engaged in the
work of the Sunday school in the Congregational church. At present she is
teacher of the boys' class and assistant superintendent. She was tastefully
gowned in white silk batiste for the occasion. Her sister, Miss Lena Barnes,
acted as bride's maid. The groom, Frank P. Baird, came to Wibaux two
years ago to take charge of the public schools. He soon won the affection
and good will of people and students by his fine scholarly attainments and
gentlemanly deportment. Through his able administration he has brought the
school to a state of efficiency that makes it second to none in this part of
the country. He likewise is active in christian work and at present is
superintendent in the Congregational Sunday school. For the past summer he
has been assisting President Kinney and Cashier Fischer in the First
National Bank. Mrs. Samuel Stambaugh acted as best man. Their many
friends extend to the happy couple hearty congratulations and wish them long
life and prosperity. The Beach Advance, Beach, Billings Co, North Dakota, August 28th, 1908

After a Brief Illness of Heart Failure - - - Henry Sunders passed

o'clock at the home of the Rev. W. J. Brown, occurred the marriage of E. L.
Walker to Miss Martha A. Smith, both of Beach. The bride wore as a wedding
gown a rich brown dress and carried roses. The happy couple returned to
Beach on No. 3 Wednesday evening and went immediately to the home of the
bride some fourteen miles southeast of this city. Mr. Walker has been a
resident of the Valley about six years and owns a fine farm just half a mile
from the homestead of his wife's, where they will reside for the present. He
has gone through the pioneer days of homesteading and knows what the word
means to its full extent. He is endowed with those qualities which have won
not only success but the admiration of his friends and neighbors. Miss
Smith came to the Valley about four years ago and also knows something of
homestead life, having lived on a homestead during that time. The friends of
the couple extend to them best wishes for a long and prosperous life. The Beach Advance, Beach, Billings Co, North Dakota, September 18th, 1908
Obituary - - - Henry Clay Wiley was born at Weston,
Vermont, December 4, 1844. His father was a merchant. He received a common
school education. In 1866 he went to Iowa and located at Masonville,
Delaware county, and was for a time employed in his cousin's store at that
place. In 1868 he was married to Lucretia F. Martin, who survives him. Later
be bought land and was engaged in farming in Delaware and Buchanan counties
for more than twenty years. In 1891 he removed to Dickinson county and
bought a 600 acre farm near Spirit Lake. In 1895 he disposed of this farm
and went to Curlew, Palo Alto county, where he engaged in the mercantile
business. In 1901 he was appointed postmaster, which office he held for
seven years. In the spring of 1908 he went to Carlyle, Mont., and prepared
to make improvements on a homestead he had taken there. His health has been
failing for some time. As the season advanced he became weaker and on
Tuesday, August 18, he passed away. Besides his widow he leaves five
sons: Edwin, Clay and Ewen of Carlyle, Clarence of Spirit Lake, Iowa, and
Pliny at Caldwell, Idaho. Mr. Wiley's true character and his kindly
disposition toward his fellow men made him a highly respected citizen in the
communities in which he lived. He saw only the merits of others and treated
them on their merits. He served in offices of trust and responsibility
always with honesty and efficiency. The funeral services were held from the
home near Carlyle and were conducted by Rev. Alexander Douglas. Interment
was made at the Wibaux cemetery. Many friends mourn the loss of a man whose
influence for good will still remain. The Beach Advance, Beach, Billings Co, North Dakota, September 18th, 1908

Cupid After The Young - - - Young Man From Carlyle Married
Tuesday to a Lady From the Badger State - - - They Fooled the Foolers
- - - Popular Young Couple of Williams Married at Dickinson Day Before
Yesterday - - - During the past week four of the popular young people
living southwest of town joined hands for better or for worse during the
remainder of life's journey. Late Monday evening E. W. Clocksin, Miss Elsie
Cocksin and Miss Bea Brown left Carlyle for Beach, trusting that the
lateness of the hour would protect them from too many personal questions.
Tuesday morning they took the train for Belfield, where Mr. Clocksin and
Miss Brown were quietly married. They returned to Beach the same evening and
Wednesday morning went to Carlyle, where they will live temporarily with A.
Clocksin and family. Mr. Clocksin has been a resident of Carlyle for some
months and not long since went into the well drilling business. He is a
young man of ability, energetic, honest and a hustler and very deservedly
popular among those who know him best. His wife, formerly Miss Bea Brown of
Boardman, Wis., we know little about but join with others in extending to
her a cordial welcome to the Golden Valley, together with congratulations
and best wishes for a long and happy life in the golden west. Mr. Clocksin
has a homestead on the Dakota side of the line and as soon as buildings can
be erected will make that the permanent home. - - - The Wednesday
evening train brought back from Dickinson, Mr. and Mrs. L. B. Schouboe, who
that day had joined hands and repeated the solemn words that made them one.
As they were guests at the hotel the night before an inkling of what was to
happen was mistrusted by their friends and as a charivari party at the hotel
at the proper house would be hardly proper, the disturbers had to content
themselves with fixing up their room as best they could with hastily
gathered material. The dinner bell was attached to about the center of the
bed spring on the under side, and alarm clocks were stationed at different
parts of the room and set for different times for operation, while a fire
extinguisher was placed in the bed. The couple, however, were suspicious and
discovered the several articles, except the clocks, before retiring, and Mr.
Schouboe was heard to emphatically declare that 'curfew shall not ring
tonight. L. B. Schouboe is one of the prosperous young farmers of the
Williams district, a person of sterling character and worth and a good
citizen. He recently suffered a great misfortune in having his new house, to
which he had intended taking his bride, burn up one night during his
absence, together with some of his personal property, but he is made of the
material that does not acknowledge defeat and plans as then arranged were
carried out. Miss Hazel Liles also lives in the Williams district and is a
young lady of ability with many accomplishments and much personal charm. The
Advance joins with their host of friends in congratulations and best wishes
for a long, happy and prosperous wedded life. The Beach Advance, Beach, Billings Co, North Dakota, October 23rd , 1908

Obituary - - - Mrs. William Bond's Sudden Death Startled
the Community Last Sunday - - - On Sunday last, friends of Mrs.
William Bond were shocked to learn of her sad and untimely death which
occurred about nine o'clock in the forenoon. Saturday evening she retired
apparently as well as usual, having endured very poor health during the past
few months. At two o'clock Sunday morning she awoke her husband, saying she
felt ill, and soon began to talk irrationally. Doctor Museus was called at
once but she was in convulsions before his arrival and never regained
consciousness. Drs. McNabb and Smith were called and the three doctors
held a consultation, but gave the loving relatives and friends no hope. All
that was in their power was done to save her life, but that treacherous
disease dropsy had so undermined her health that medical aid seemed
impossible, and death released her from her suffering. Her infant child, a
daughter, also died. Rachel Howard was born in Pike county, Kentucky, and
moved with her parents to Todd county, Minnesota, at the age of eleven
years. She was married to William Bond, March 26, 1893, coming at once to
North Dakota where they have resided almost continually since. She leaves to
mourn her death, besides the broken hearted husband, a daughter Pearl, just
entering womanhood and a son Loyd aged twelve years of Beach, a father, one
brother and four sisters residing in the state of Washington, a sister at
Kalispel, Montana, a sister at Shaffer, N.D., and a sister at Westhope, N.D.
It was not possible for any of her folks to be present at the funeral, but a
sister of Mr. Bond, Mrs. Loren Severson of Courtenay, N.D., arrived Monday
evening. By her death a happy home is nearly broken up. She was a loving
wife and a faithful and patient mother. She possessed an unusually amiable
disposition, always taking an optimistic view of life and always enjoying a
hearty laugh. To know her was to love her and her friends were numerous. The
funeral was held from the school house, at two o'clock Wednesday afternoon,
the Rev. Alex Douglas, pastor of the Congregational church officiating. The
remains were interred in the Beach cemetery. The floral offerings of
roses by the school children was beautiful and expressed the deep sympathy
felt for their classmates and the family in their heavy and sudden
bereavement. The Beach Advance, Beach, Billings Co, North Dakota, December 11th , 1908
