Obituary

Frankie Gasho was born near Atlanta, Ind., Aug. 29th, 1887. He
was the fifth of nine boys. In the spring of 1900 the family
moved to Foster Co, N.D. and in 1910 they moved to Trotters,
N.D., 30 miles north of Beach. Frank following them in the fall
of the same year. He homesteaded near the parents' home, and
worked out in the summer for different parties. On Wednesday
Dec. 18th while at work with one of his brothers excavating for
a barn by the accidental bursting of a stick of dynamite which
he held in his hand, he was so seriously injured that all
medical aid proved without avail, and after nine days of intense
suffering he died, Friday Dec. 27th. He was buried on the
parent's homestead, Sec. 14, T. 144, R. 105. The funeral
services were conducted at the home of the parents Sunday
afternoon Dec. 29th, at two o'clock, Rev. F. W. Gress of the
Beach M. E. church preaching the sermon to a large congregation.
The deceased leaves to mourn his loss six brothers, three
sisters, his aging parents upon whom the affliction falls
heavily, also many friends and acquaintances who knew him as a
quiet reserved young man trying to do a man's part at whatever
he undertook. He had no bad habits which so often seriously
reflect on a young man's character. The Advance extends
condolences to the bereaved relatives.

of this worlds sunshine and shadows, and after fulfilling his

College
- - - - -
Colonel J. B. Power, proprietor of the famous stock farm in
northern Richland county bearing his name, former land
commissioner of the Northern Pacific, and former president of
the North Dakota Agricultural college, is dead at his farm.
Colonel Power was one of the foremost livestock men of the state
and about the earliest advocate of diversified and mixed
farming. After his retirement from the Northern Pacific, he took
up ranch life and made it a great success. He was the second
president of the state agricultural college, serving between the
time of President Stockbridge and President Worst, now at the
head of that institution.
J. A. Power, one of his sons, was manager of his big farm. One
of his daughters is the wife of Major Scott of the regular army,

A Misrepresentation
- - - - -
A couple of weeks ago The Advance received two news items from
Burkey, announcements of the marriage of two very popular young
couples in that locality. These items were erroneous and were
not sent in by our regular correspondent, but were mailed to us
with a request that we insert them in the Burkey news and the
name of a young man who resides near Burkey was signed to the
letter of request. When we traced the matter down however, it
was found that the name was forged, presumably by some practical
joker, who did not realize the seriousness of the offense. The
names of the two gentlemen mentioned in the locals were Chas.
Doubles and Frank Schram and we sincerely regret the publication
of the items and would advise the party who sent the items in to
be more careful in the future about signing other people's names
to documents of any kind.

Noted Jurist Is Dead
- - - - -
Father of Former Beach Educator Passed Away at Grand Forks
- - - - -
Judge Charles F. Templeton of the North Dakota supreme court,
died at Grand Forks, Friday of last week. It will be remembered
that his daughter, Miss Maude Templeton, was one of the teaches
in the Beach city school last year. Following is a brief history
of the life of the distinguished jurist:
'Grand Forks, N.D., Jan. 3 - Judge Charles F. Templeton died in
a local hospital at 6 o'clock this morning. While it was
generally known in Grand Forks that he was quite ill, the news
will undoubtedly come as a shock to the people of the state. He
was 56 years of age.
Death was due to a complication of kidney trouble with which he
has been suffering for some time. He was taken to the hospital
about a week ago. He was born in Washington county, Vermont,
June 21, 1856, and was a son of Horatio and Rhoda (Folsom)
Templeton, both of whom were natives of Vermont. The father was
engaged in farming and the general merchandise business and died
in Vermont in 1895, aged 76 years.
Mr. Templeton was reared and educated in his native state and
attended Barre Academy at Barre, Vt., and entered Dartmouth
College in 1874, and was graduated from that institution in
1878. He at once began the study of law at Montpelier, Vt., and
was admitted to practice in December, 1880. During the same year
he went to Fargo and formed a partnership with Hon. B. F.
Spaulding, which existed until July 1887, he having been
appointed by Governor Church, attorney general for the territory
and he served until October, 1888, and then resigned to accept
the judgeship of the old Eight Judicial district, being
appointed by Cleveland in October, 1888. He was re-elected in
1889 and 1893, and continued on the bench until 1897. January 1,
1897, he resumed his practice at Grand Forks, having moved to
that city in 1889.
He was again elected judge to succeed Judge Fish when the later
went to the supreme bench. Mr. Templeton was married in 1881 to
Miss Edna C. Carleton, a native of Vermont. Four children have
been born to Mr. and Mrs. Templeton, named as follows: Berth A.,
Maude R., Francis H. and Ruth C. Mr. Templeton is a member of
the Masonic fraternity.

The bride is a very popular young lady of Arcadia who had been
teaching school in the rural districts in this vicinity, but
spent the past summer near Alpha, N.D. She has a host of friends
in and about Arcadia. The groom is a prosperous young farmer of

his helpmate. The young couple will spend a few days visiting
with friends and relatives here and at Minneapolis and other
Western points before they return to their home at Alpha.

A very sad death occurred in this city Friday morning, January
17th, when Mrs. Winnefred Argall passed to the life beyond. Mr.
and Mrs. Argall had been married but three months and during all
that time the deceased has been a very patient sufferer from
tubercular trouble. The devotion of the young husband was
pathetic, never leaving her bedside day or night until death
relieved the suffered. Although Mr. Argall realized that the
patient was incurable yet the hope that always springs from love
predominated his nature and the best of skill that the medical
fraternity possessed was brought to bear upon the case. She was
taken to the hospital at Dickinson and thence to Mayo Brother's
hospital at Rochester, Minnesota. From the latter place she was
sent home to her loved ones to die. The deceased was a daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. William McLaughlan of this city. The funeral
occurred from St. John's Catholic church at this place Sunday
last and the remains were laid to rest in the Catholic cemetery
south of town. A large number of people gathered at the church
to pay their last respects to the departed friend. The sympathy
of all goes out to the young husband who has been burdened with
the greatest sorrow he has ever known.

Little Baby Burned To Death Near Rocky Butte
- - - - -
Little Sixteen Month Old Daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Roy Boyer
Meets a Sudden Death
- - - - -
A deep shadow of sorrow has been cast over the home of Mr. and
Mrs. Roy Boyer of Rocky Butte their little sixteen month old
daughter met a tragic end Monday by being burned to death.
The details as we learned them are that Mrs. Boyer stepped out
doors for a moment to call her husband to dinner and when she
returned to the house the little one was in flames. The flames
were quickly extinguished but they had claimed their toll and
the little one died a short time afterwards.
It is presumed that the babe was in the act of creeping under
the stove after the pet kitten and came into contact with the
red hot stove which ignited her clothing.
The funeral was held in this city Wednesday and the remains were
laid to rest in the cemetery south of town.
The bereaved parents and relatives of the deceased have the
sympathy of all in a bereavement which indeed must be a heavy
cross to bear.

Gone To Her Reward

Mrs. Ed Conlin Dies at the Beach Hospital After a Very Brief
Illness
- - - - -
Mrs. Edward Conlin died at the Beach hospital, February 1, 1913,
after a very brief illness of pneumonia. Miss Lucy A. Mead was
born at New Hartford, Iowa, February 22, 1873, and was therefore
nearly forty years of age at time of death. She was married to
Edward Colin at Waterloo, Iowa, June 2, 1897. Two living
children, both girls, Frances H., aged fourteen, and Dorothy M.,
aged seven, besides the bereaved husband survive her of the
immediate family. Two children, a boy and girl, died during
infancy. She also leaves an aged father at New Era, Oregon,
besides three half brothers in the same state. The remains left
Beach Sunday evening for her childhood home, New Hartford, Ia.,
for interment, accompanied by the husband and daughters.
Mr. and Mrs. Colin came to the Golden Valley in the fall of
1910, from Champlin, Minnesota, and immediately went to a farm
which he had leased south of this city, where they have since
lived. While their residence here has been of comparatively
short duration, yet both of them number their friends by their
number of acquaintances and these were indeed shocked at the
report of her sudden and untimely death. She had not been well
for several weeks, but nothing serious was encountered until
pneumonia attacked her only two days before her death.
Everything possible was done to stay the disease, but to no
avail. Mrs. Conlin was a person of more than the ordinary
ability, strong in her likes and dislikes, and had a capacity
for making and holding warm, personal friends. Her home was the
ideal of her heart and too much could not be done by her for its
inmates. While it seems impossible to find an excuse for her
untimely taking away, yet we must humbly bow to the will of Him
who 'Doeth all things well for those who love Him.'
Sincere and deep sympathy is extended to the bereaved husband
and motherless girls in this their deepest hour of personal
sorrow.

Frozen To Death
- - - - -
Dickinson, N.D., Feb. 17 -
While riding to town a rancher out from Oakdale found three
letters laying on the side of the road, farther on a pocketbook
was picked up and not far from this the body of a woman was
found near the road. On examination he found the body was frozen
and was Mrs. Ucelia Brooks, whose home was about three miles
from there.
Mrs. Brooks was the mother of W. P. Brooks of Manning and was
living on her claim out from Oakdale, by herself. The letters
were unstamped and the belief is that she started to the James
Fenton place where she usually left her mail. From the dates on
the letters which were Jan. 24, the body must have been on the
road at least ten days before found. Mrs. Brooks was dressed
warmly and the conclusion is that she must have become
bewildered and got lost because she was in the opposite
direction from the Fenton place when found.

Died Among Strangers

Dying in the arms of strangers, with no familiar faces around
her, and with her family of loved ones far away, all unconscious
of her illness, was the fate of Mrs. Dingwell of Fayette, N.
Dak., who passed away at the Beach Hospital Saturday last. She
had been working for a short time for a party at Sentinel Butte
where she was taken seriously ill of pneumonia and was brought
to the hospital here Saturday. She died in less than thirty
minutes after being taken from the train to the hospital and was
so weak when she arrived at the hospital that the local
physician who was called was unable to find out who she was or
where her relatives resided before the good lady passed to the
great Beyond. By some letters found in her suitcase it was
discovered that her relatives resided at Fayette and they were
communicated with as soon as possible. Her father James Walker
and a daughter of the deceased, Miss Susan Dingwell arrived from
Fayette Tuesday and took the remains home for burial Wednesday
evening. The deceased is survived by six children, three boys
and three girls. Her death was a severe shock to the little
children, more so perhaps because they were not aware of the
mother's illness.

Arthur H. Lytle Met Death In Auto Accident
- - - - -
M. D. Sarver and Robert Wand Escaped With Slight Injuries
- - - - -
One of Beach's Leading Citizens Was Instantly Killed Sunday When
Automobile Which He was Driving Turned Turtle, Pinning Him
Underneath
- - - - -
Last Sunday A. H. Lytle took his automobile and went out west of
this city a few miles to look at some hay which he was about to
purchase and when about four miles from this city near the
Emerson farm, on his return trip, the automobile struck a rut in
the road and broke off the front wheel, causing the machine to
capsize, pinning Mr. Lytle underneath, the steering wheel
crushing in his chest, killing him instantly. He was accompanied
on his trip by Robert Wand and M. D. Sarver. Following is Mr.
Wand's story of the accident:
'We were coming along the road near the old Emerson farm when we
thought we heard one of the tires burst. Mr. Lytle who was
driving the car looked back toward the hind tire to see whether
or not the tire was down. The row of telephone posts are very
close to the road there and when Mr. Lytle turned again toward
the front he noticed that we were in great danger of striking
one of the posts; he quickly turned the machine and this proved
fatal. The front wheels struck a slippery up grade, slewed
sideways, and broke off and the car tipped over. Mr. Sarver and
myself were in the back seat and when the car started to tip I
jumped, the force of the car going over threw me for some
distance. This probably saved my life and undoubtedly saved Mr.
Sarver also, because Sarver was pinned underneath the car and
Mr. Barclay who was coming along the road with a team and saw
the accident, quickly came to our assistance but was unable
alone to raise the car. The car was resting on Mr. Sarver's
stomach and he could not have lived long in that position. I was
unconscious when Mr. Barclay first arrived but I soon regained
consciousness and helped him raise the car off of Mr. Sarver. We
saw at once that Mr. Lytle, who was also under the car, was
dead. The steering wheel crushed in his chest and must have
killed him instantly.'
Arthur H. Lytle was born at Medway, Wisconsin, March, 3, 1880,
where he grew into young boyhood. He graduated from the LaCrosse
High School, after which he went to Spring Valley, Wisconsin
where he resided for some time. He was married at Chippewa
Falls, Wisconsin on August 14, 1905 to Miss Minnie E. Firth.
They removed to Eckman, North Dakota where Mr. Lytle was engaged
in the grain business for three years after which the family
removed to Beach and have resided here ever since. The deceased
is survived by his wife and two children, Owen aged 7 and Audrey
age 5, besides his mother, one sister and five brothers. The
brothers are F. J. Lytle and D. L. Lytle of Miles City, Montana,
Tom Lytle of Livingston, Montana, M. B. Lytle of Assinobia,
Canada and J. O. Lytle of Bowan. The mother and sister Miss
Lucy, reside at Miles City. The brothers and sister arrived here
as soon as possible after receiving the sad news of the death as
did also Mrs. Lytle of Miles City and Mrs. Cora Lytle,
sister-in-laws of the deceased. Mrs. Lytle's father, Mr. Firth
and her brother Edgar Firth arrived here Tuesday from Chippewa
Falls, Wisconsin. The remains were shipped to Chippewa Falls
Wednesday and will be interred in the family lot there.
Many beautiful floral tributes from the Masonic order, the Beach
Elks, the Dickinson Elks, the Easter Star, the Maccabees, the
Odd Fellows and the Modern Woodman, were laid upon the casket as
tokens of brotherly love, the deceased having been a member of
these societies. There were also floral wreaths from the grain
man, and the Beach Literary Society and also from many citizens
of the town. Mr. Lytle was honored and beloved by all.
We do not believe that we have ever been called to so hard a
task as that writing of the death of Mr. Lytle as he was one of
our very closest friends and our sympathy goes out to the widow
and little children. With keen anguish and the deepest sorrow
she has ever known bearing heavily upon her with the strength
and nobility of her character, prompted by her great love for
the little children which are now left alone to her care. Mrs.
Lytle is bearing up well under the terrible ordeal. The great
shock that came to the people of this community in learning the
tragic death will be a sad remembrance for years, but years and
years after this shock has passed from the community, the silent
anguish and sorrow will be indelibly written upon the heart of
the young widow for she has received a wound that time can never
heal. The sympathy of all is extended to her, but all that we
can do, all that we can say cannot alleviate her sorrow or blot
from her mind in the slightest degree, the memory of the
tragically death. But Mrs. Lytle is a brave woman. She has shown
by her fortitude that she is capable of bearing her grief in
silence. That silent grief which runs deep in the memory for
aye. May the Good Lord strengthen her in the trying months to
come is our most ardent prayer.

'Nigger' Jones Was Drowned

Well Known Character of Alpha District Meets Death in Bullion
Creek
- - - - -
Sentinel Butte Republican: Although the body had not yet been
found when the Republican went to press, it is recognized as a
fact that 'Nigger' Jones, as he was commonly known in this
locality, was drowned in Bullion Creek, near Alpha, twenty miles
south of here, on Monday. He was seen to ride his horse into the
creek about 10 o'clock a.m. and when the animal started to swim,
the rider left the horse and was washed down the stream, while
the animal swam ashore and galloped off. At the time it was not
known who the man was, but the horse was found to belong to
Jones, and as he had left home that morning and has not been
seen since, it is taken for granted that he was drowned.
The Bullion is usually a small stream, easily crossed at almost
any point, but at this time of the year it becomes a turbulent
river, and has an exceedingly swift current. About five years
ago a man was drowned in the same vicinity while trying to cross
with a team and wagon.

'Billy Shean Dead'
- - - - -
The Sparta (Wisconsin) democrat has the following to say about
the death of William Shean, father of Mrs. A. L. Arnold of
Beach. Mr. Shean died at Baker, Montana on April 6th:
'Twenty years back 'Billy' Shean was one of the best known men
on the Black river. That was in the days when the Black River
Improvement company was on earth. 'Billy' was foreman of the
River crews. He was a one-armed man, losing an arm by the
explosion of a blast while in the employ of the company. After
the logging days were over, the company gave Shean a large tract
of land near Black River Falls and for a time he was a farmer.
'Billy' Shean is dead and the Black River Falls Banner prints
the final chapter of his career:
'Word is received here that W. C. Shean, formerly of this city,
died at his home at Baker, Mont., on Monday, April 6, of
inflammation of the bowels. Mr. Shean resided many years in this
city and is well known to all residents who have lived here for
any number of years. He also has an extensive acquaintance all
along Black River, having been for years in the employ of the
Black River Improvement Company and for the most of the time as
driving foreman. It will be remembered that many years ago he
got one hand taken off and nearly lost his life in a powder
explosion, when at work for the company on Black river, north of
this city, at blasting. When he recovered from this accident he
was given a steady job by the company, in the foremanship which
he held so long. After leaving here he operated a farm for a
time, about seven miles south of Neilsville, in Clark county,
and then sold out and went to Montana and entered a large tract
of land, on which he died. Mr. Shean was probably about
sixty-five years of age.'

the final summons last Sunday at 12:15, noon. Heart trouble was
the direct cause of death.
Joseph A. Lee was born in Fayette County, Illinois, on February
25th, 1843, and was therefore 70 years of age at time of death.
He lived in Fayette county until 1863, when he went to Minnesota
and enlisted in the Minnesota Cavalry, in which he served two
years and from which he was honorably discharged. After the war
he located at Rochester, Minn., where he remained until 1885
when he moved to Marion, Kan. He was married to Miss Elizabeth
Carrell in 1887, and one child, Lucy Ellen, was born to them.
Mrs. Lee passed to the great unknown November 1, 1893. Mr. Lee
came to the Golden Valley about five years ago and took a
homestead north of Sentinel Butte, where he lived until final
proof was made, after which he made his home with his daughter,
now Mrs. L. L. Parsons. He leaves besides his daughter, one
brother, Harvey A. Lee, of Sentinel Butte, to mourn his death.
The remains were shipped Monday evening to Pleasant Grove,
Minn., for interment and were accompanied by Mr. and Mrs.
Parsons.
They sympathy of the community is extended to the relatives in
this their hour of deep sorrow.

While the announcement of the death of Mrs. Brily Douglas, of

was with pain and surprise that it was received by this
community. She passed away Monday night, and is now at rest
after an illness of several months' duration.
The funeral services were held Wednesday at 11 o'clock from the
United Brethren church of Carlyle, of which she was a member,
and was one of the largest attended services of this kind which
has been held in this part of the country. Rev. C. E. Hogue
officiated.
Mr. and Mrs. Douglas were some of the early settlers of the
Carlyle territory, and the latter has made herself a place among
its people which will be hard to fill. Her acquaintance was
large, and her friends numbered only by the acquaintances. With
an abiding faith in the protection of her Creator she fell
asleep with the assurance that all was well with her soul.

Dies At Pittsburg
- - - - -
F. R. Kunkle, Formerly of This City, Dies of Pneumonia, After
Short Illness
- - - - -
The many friends of F. R. Kunkle, formerly of this city, but
later of Pittsburg, Pa., were exceedingly shocked and surprised
Tuesday to learn that Mr. Kunkle has succumbed to the ravages of
pneumonia, and had passed to the great unknown early Monday
morning. The news reached this city by a wire to Dr. Stough,
with whom Mr. Kunkle was associated during his residence here.
Mr. Kunkle occupied a place here attained by few in so short a
time, partly perhaps, because of his ability as a singer, but we
believe more because of his cheerful and exceeding happy
disposition. While here he appeared to enjoy very good health.
He left here last November to accept a position in Minneapolis,
where he remained until February, when he accepted a position
with the Westinghouse people in Pittsburg. Shortly after his
arrival there he began to be seriously troubled with asthma, and
in a letter to Dr. Stough stated that he expected sometime this
spring to return west for a permanent home. The time of starting
was delayed for some reason or other and last week he was
stricken with the disease which cost him his life. He was taken
to his old home at Bryan, Ohio, for interment, which took place
yesterday.
He leaves a wife and two children, aged five and seven, and an
aged father and mother as immediate relatives to mourn his
untimely death besides a host of friends. May his ashes rest in
peace.

Obituary
Nevada Peterman was born near Crawfordsville, Ind., June 22,
1854. Departed this life at Carlyle, Mont., May 26, 1813. Had
she lived until June 22, 1913, she would have been fifty-nine
years old. September 5, 1880, she was united in marriage to
Brily Douglas. To this union was born eight children, five boys
and three girls, Howard, Weaver, Ottie, Grace the wife of B. C.
Baldwin, Omer, Fred, Bernice and Ruby, three of which Weaver,
Omer and Bernice preceded her to the life beyond in November
1880. At a meeting conducted by Rev. T. M. Hamilton at Mt. Zion
church, Crawfordsville circuit, she gave her heart to God, and
united with the United Brethren church, her life being spent in
active church work. She experienced, believed in and taught
experimental religion. For twenty-five years she has been
teacher of the intermediate class in the Sunday school, being
especially adapted for this work. At the time of her death she
was the teacher of a fine class of boys and girls in the Carlyle
Sunday school. This class bought a wreath of beautiful flowers
and placed on her casket as a token of esteem in which they held
their beloved teacher.
In March 1906, Brother Douglas with his family moved from
Indiana to Custer county, Mont., where he had previously taken a
homestead to build a new home in a new country. Being members of
the church Sister Douglas insisted that they organize a Sunday
school, which was done in May of that same year, in their shack
with eight scholars.
The officials of the church, Dr. Whitney, secretary of the home
mission board, and Bishop Weekly, were asked for help and they
responded by sending a preacher. The Sunday school was moved to
large rooms, then a school house was built and that was used.
About this time the town of Carlyle started and Bishop Weekly
came and organized a class of thirteen. The Sunday school at
this time averaged fifty members. Then another preacher paid us
a visit, revival meetings were held and the church membership
was increased to fifty-nine. Sister Douglas worked faithfully
all the time with the firm assurance that God would build up His
church in this new country. In the year 1911 a beautiful church
was built at Carlyle at a cost of $2,800 and a parsonage at a
cost of $1,300. The annual conference was held in this church
last fall, when Bishop Weekly dedicated it, fulfilling the hopes
and expectations of this good sister. Other preachers came and
other classes were organized, until at this time we have the
Montana Mission district organized with over 200 members and six
preachers, so that she lived to see and enjoy the fruits of her
labor. Her husband was elected as lay delegate to represent this
district at the general conference which convened at Decatur,
Ill., May 8, 1913, but could not attend on account of the
serious illness of his wife. The most beautiful scenes the
writer ever looked upon was during the last two weeks of her
illness. Her children all lived in the neighborhood and would
gather at her home on evenings, and often she would have the
family gather around her bed, kneel, and each offer prayer, at
the close of which, with her countenance beaming with joy, she
would talk to them of heaven, how it paid to be a christian and
that in a short time they would be a united family where there
would be no more good-byes. One of her family asked her what
would be the first thing she would do when she entered heaven,
and with a sweet smile on her face she said, 'Oh, I will go
straight to Jesus and there kneel at his feet and thank him for
what he has done for me.' The end came on Monday evening, May
26, at 11:50. Besides her immediate family she leaves to mourn,
two brothers, Wallace and Frank Peterman of Los Angeles, Cal.
The funeral was held in the beautiful church at Carlyle, where
she so much loved to worship, conducted by her pastor, Rev. C.
E. Hogue, assisted by her former pastor, Rev. Hawley, and Rev.
Whitaker of Beach U. B. church. Rev. Hogue was surely at his
best and preached a solemn and impressive sermon from Rev. 14-13
to a church filled to its capacity with sympathizing friends and
neighbors. Splendid music was also provided
At the close of the service the casket, covered with fragrant
flowers was borne by loving hands to the beautiful cemetery just
south of the church, lowered into a vault made of cement and
brick, covered with earth, there to await the call on a glorious
resurrection morn. So ended the mortal life and triumphant over
death of a truly christian mother and a devoted loving
companion.

Rush To Close Month

June Is Cupid's Busy Month and a Little Extra Rush Was Made to
Close
- - - - -
The adage that June is the month of brides and roses seems to be
living up to the record, judging by happy unions which have
taken place in Beach within the past two weeks. Several nuptials
were reported last week but in the endeavor to make a full
report of the trail a few got by which are given to the public
herewith.
On June 26th, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. P. H. Lee the words
were spoken at high noon which made W. G. Tyrell of Manhattan,
Mont., and Miss Ester B. Margon of Midleson, N.D., man and wife.
Rev. R. Whitaker performed the ceremony. On June 28th at the U.
B. parsonage, also at high noon, Rev. Whitaker united in
marriage C. E. Dryden and Miss Mary B. Capel, both of Stuart,
N.D. Not long since we had the pleasure of meeting the groom and
found him a very pleasing young man and The Advance extends to
him and his life companion best wishes for the future. Just as
the month was about to close, June 30th, at the home of the
bride's parents, Rev. Whitaker read the service which gave Miss
Ida Livingston to a gentleman of like name from Detroit, Mich.
From personal acquaintance with the young lady, who is charming,
talented and accomplished, we can truly extend congratulations
to the groom, and as we are confident the groom must measure up
well the bride may as well be included. The happy couple will
make the home at Detroit, Mich., and in leaving Beach will carry
with them the best wishes for a happy and prosperous life, not
alone in a financial way but in those things which make life
really worth the living.

Accidental Death
- - - - -
John McClellan of Bismarck Meets Death in Beach Last Saturday
Evening
- - - - -
John McClellan of Bismarck was the victim of a peculiar accident
in this city last Saturday, from the effects of which he died
Tuesday morning at the Beach hospital. Young McClellan was on
his way west overland with R. Broadway and son, and last
Saturday the party camped just north of the track in this city.
Saturday evening McClellan went up town and about 11:30 met
William O'Conners at the Tri-State Implement building and
entered into conversation. Mr. O'Conners was driving a team, one
of which was a bronco in course of training, and McClellan
wanted to trade horses. With the evident purpose of looking over
the horse he stepped from the sidewalk, and taking hold of the
hames (sic) on this animal gave them a shake, whereupon the
animal went into the air, and lunging forward struck McClellan
in such a way that he was thrown violently to the ground,
striking the back of his head upon the edge of the cement
sidewalk. Mr. O'Connors immediately drove to Lee & Rice's drug
store where he immediately notified Dr. Strough and then went to
the injured boy. When he arrived he was still laying with his
head on the edge of the sidewalk. A cot was immediately
procured, and upon arrival of the doctor the boy was placed in
the wagon and taken to the Beach hospital, where he died Tuesday
morning at 7 o'clock.
Only once after being hurt did he regain consciousness. During
Sunday night Robert Broadway was attending him, and on looking
up from the book he was reading discovered that McClellan had
taken the bandages from his head and was in the act of placing
them upon the stand which stood near the bed. On being
discovered McClellan looked up and said, 'Hello Bob; how long
are we going to stay here?' Broadway replied only a few days,
and stated that during the operation of again placing the
bandages on his head and administering medicine he talked
rational, but then dozed off and did not again regain
consciousness.
His parents were notified of the accident by telegram and his
mother arrived Monday evening, his father not being able to get
here until Wednesday morning. The funeral took place Wednesday
afternoon, and interment was made in the Beach cemetery.
The boy's father stated that on July 3 the boy told his mother
that he was going to Mandan to look for work, since which time
they had no knowledge of his whereabouts until the telegram was
received. There was no particular reason for the boy leaving
home other than that he felt as though he wanted to be at work,
and that better wages could be secured further west.
It is indeed a sad blow to the bereaved parents, who have the
sympathy of all in this great sorrow. John McClellan was 17
years of age.

A Pretty Home Wedding in Minneapolis Makes Our County Treasurer
a Benedict

The many friends of our able county treasurer, Arthur E. Swan,
will be pleased to learn that on Saturday, June 21st, he was one
of the principals in a very pretty wedding ceremony, at the home
of the bride's parents, 3020 Seventeenth avenue south,
Minneapolis, Minn., which made Mr. Swan and Miss Ruth Holstad
husband and wife. The home was prettily decorated for the
occasion and the happy couple took their places to the inspiring
strains of the Mendelsohn wedding march, when Rev. Peterson, of
the Thirteen avenue Methodist Episcopal church performed the
ceremony that made them one.
Mrs. Herman Abels presided at the piano and accompanied Miss
Scheck in the solos, 'Oh, Promise Me,' 'Beloved, It is Morn,'
and 'Perfect Day.'
The young couple immediately went to Groveland, Lake
Minnenetonka, where the groom had rented a cottage and where
their honeymoon was spent. Mr. and Mrs. Swan arrived in Beach
last Friday and immediately went to the farm of the groom south
of town, where they will be at home to friends.
Mr. Swan needs no introduction to the people of Beach and
vicinity, for since his residence here he has displayed those
sterling qualities of worth and industry that have made him
deservedly popular and because of which he has been placed in
the responsible and honored position of treasurer of Golden
Valley county. His friends are legion.
Mrs. Swan is a lady of rare musical talent and occupied a place
of exceptional prominence in the best musical circles of
Minneapolis. The press of that city are lavish with compliments
of her recitals and honored her wedding announcement with a
large photo engravure of herself, substantial evidence that in
acquiring her as a resident here, Beach has gained that which
Minneapolis regrets to lose.
The many friends of her husband unite in extending to her a
hearty welcome to Beach and also extend best wishes for their
future happiness and prosperity.

Angus Smith Married at Black River Falls, Wis., to Miss Lavina
Chrisinger

The following account of the wedding of one of the popular young
Golden Valley Farmers is taken from the Jackson county Journal
of Black River Falls, Wis.: 'Angus Smith, of Beach, N.D., and
Miss Lavina Chrisinger were married at the Methodist parsonage
in this city, last Wednesday afternoon, July 16th, Rev. Walter
Trench Scott performing the ceremony. The wedding was attended
by only a few of the immediate friends of the contracting
parties. Miss Edna Chrisinger was the bridesmaid and Otto
Erickson was best man. The happy couple went from here to
Superior for a brief visit, after which they will go to the
groom's good farm a few miles from Beach, where a fine new home
awaits them.
'The groom is a son of Mr. and Mrs. Elijah Smith, former
residents of this city and now of Beach. He has made good
progress since he went west, a few years ago, and now he and his
father are farming about 700 acres of the rich prairie country
in the Golden Valley, the greater portion of which they own. He
is an industrious and energetic young man. The bride is a
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Chrisinger, prominent residents
of the town of Albion, and her life has been spent in this
vicinity. She is in every way a worthy young lady, and she will
make a capable helpmate for her progressive young husband. They
have many friends who extend congratulations and best wishes.'
While the announcement of the marriage of Mr. Smith will be a
surprise to many of his host of friends in Beach, yet the
congratulations and best wishes for a full measure of happiness
and prosperity of this life will be none the less sincere. And
to his wife will also be extended a hearty welcome to her new
home in the west. The happy couple arrived in Beach last
Thursday evening, and went immediately to the home of the groom
north of town.

James Burke of This City Takes a Life Pardner, Miss Margaret
Kane of Ray
- - - - -
- The first of the week James Burke of this city left for Ray,
N.D., where on Wednesday he formed a new partnership for life,
the new member of the firm being Miss Margaret Kane of Ray, the
ceremony being performed in the Catholic Church of that place.
Mr. Burke is one of the popular young business men of Beach,
where for several years he has been resident manager of the
Burke Insurance-Loan Agency. By honest dealing and strict
attention to business has made for himself a host of friends in
the Golden Valley.
Miss Margaret Kane is a very accomplished young lady, and also
has a large number of friends in Beach, having been one of the
teachers in the Beach schools during the year of 1911-1912.
The happy couple will almost immediately return to Beach, but we
understand will soon leave for Mr. Burke's claim northwest of
Glendive, Mont., where they expect to make their home.
To Mr. and Mrs. Burke is extended best wishes by their host of
friends in this vicinity, in which The Advance most heartily
joins.

Obituary
- - - - -
Martha Agatha Telford was born October 13, 1878, two miles north
of the village of Byron, Olmsted county, Minnesota, on the farm
her father homesteaded in 1856. Here she spent her childhood
days with her father, mother sisters and brother. Years passed
on, and as an unbroken family they lived, with the exception of
the death of an infant brother, until the winter of 1903, when
the mother answered the call of the Master, and was soon
followed by the father and only brother, Francis.
Three years ago she moved to Beach, N.D., with her sisters,
where she made her home until her death, which occurred July 31,
1918. Her last illness began about a year ago from which she
never recovered.
Early in life she surrendered her life to her Savior, and was
baptized into the Baptist church of Byron, remaining a faithful
christian until her death. This faith was her great comfort
during her sickness. The friends who visited her frequently
during those last days afterwards remarked, 'What a lesson of
trust and faith we have learned from her.'
A few weeks before her death she talked with her sisters about
different passages of scripture that had been a source of
consolation to her during the time when sorrows of sickness and
death had entered the home, and at that time expressed a desire
that this text should be used as a message to the people at the
services before she should be laid at rest. 'For here we have no
continuing city, but seek one to come.' Heb. 13-14
A service was held at the house conducted by Rev. Pollard of
Sentinel Butte, and Rev. Valiant of Waterloo, Ia., after which
the remains, accompanied by her two sisters, Mrs. Mary Roble and
Mrs. Theodosia Castner, were taken to Byron, Minn., for burial.
Funeral services were held at the Byron Baptist church Sunday
afternoon at 2 o'clock, conducted by Rev. Gambol of the Baptist
church of Rochester, Minn., assisted by Rev. Hickman of the M.
E. church of Byron.

Kane - Burke Nuptials
- - - - -
The marriage of Miss Margaret Ellen Kane of this city and James
Gibbons Burke of Beach, N.D., was solemnized at St. Michael's
church on Wednesday morning, Rev. O. H. Mullin performing the
ceremony, which was beautiful and impressive. The bride was
attended by her sister, Miss Mary Kane. The bridesmaid was
charmingly attired in maize colored, brocaded satin, draped with
cream marquisette. Mr. John Burke of Stillwater, Minn., brother
of the groom, was best man.
The bride's gown was a beautiful white embroidered crepe trimmed
in Irish crochet and shadow lace with pearl garniture. The veil
made in the south of Ireland at the ancestral home of the
bride's father, was of Carrick-ma-cross lace, and was fastened
with a single pearl, the gift of the bridesmaid. The ring used
in the marriage service was made from the wedding ring of the
bride's mother Mary Genevieve Scott, the four-year old cousin of
the bride, made a sweet little flower girl, scattering blossoms
in the pathway of the bridal couple. The nuptial music included
solos by Mrs. J. Earl Barrington, Dr. W. B. Scott and Miss
McDonald who also presided at the organ. After the ceremony a
wedding breakfast was given by Miss Jane Kane to the immediate
friends in the dinning room of the Hotel Smith, which was
artistically decorated with cut flowers and ferns. Misses Delia
and Alice Gerrity and Miss Anna Redmann assisted in serving.
The out of town guests included Mr. and Mrs. John Burke of
Stillwater, Minn., father and mother of the groom, Mr. and Mrs.
Martin Egan and Mr. Glen Wallace of Beach, N.D., Mr. and Mrs. D.
F. King of Trenton, N.D., and Miss Clara McDonald of Williston.
The bride is well and favorably known in Ray, being the daughter
of the late Owen Kane. The groom is a prosperous young business
man of Beach. The bridal couple departed in an auto wonderfully
decorated by the wedding guests, to catch No. 2 at Stanley. -

May Have Been Slain

Suspicious Circumstances About The Death of L. J. Ferney Being
Investigated
- - - - -
A special from Tower, Minn., in the Minneapolis Journal of
August 1, has the following report of the death of L. J. Ferney:
'L. J. Ferney, who was reported as having perished in the
burning of his tent on Watson's Point, a summer resort on Lake
Vermillion, is now believed to have been murdered for his money.
A suspect named Homes Maccur, is under arrest here and Deputy
Corner Burns is holding an inquest.'
This seems to be all that can be learned about the sudden taking
away of Mr. Ferney. He was in Beach during the last term of
court, but went east about the time court adjourned.
Mr. Ferney came to the Golden Valley about six years ago and
took up a claim near Alpha, where he lived until about a year
ago, and which he still owns. During his residence in the Valley
he appeared to be a peaceable sort of a fellow and was well
liked by his neighbors so far as we have been able to learn. It
hardly seems possible that he was burned sufficiently in the
fire of his tent to have caused death.

A Thought of Consolation
- - - - -
God in His infinite wisdom speaks to man in various ways,
manifests His manifold mercy and compassion to all, and
sometimes calls us to a closer walk with Christ and to a large
spiritual service by impressing us with the uncertainty of life.
This lesson was given us last Sunday when we learned of the
death of Stanley Monroe Johnson, son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles R.
Johnson, who was born May 8, 1913. The child did not have normal
health, yet we had hopes to believe it would live. The child
became very much worse Sunday afternoon and passed away about
7:15 p.m. This news caused us deep regret and sorrow, and drew
forth our prayers and our most tender feelings of sympathy for
the parents and friends. We do not understand, but we know God
understands, for He is too wise to make mistakes, and too good
to be unkind, a truth we will discover when the clouds have
passed away, and we see with a heavenly vision. Then the
sunlight of glory shall rise upon the soul of eternity, and we
will learn that the little ones are the diamonds with which God
adorns heaven: that as flowers are cultivated for their
exquisite beauty and fragrance, and are bathed by God with soft
sunshine that they may burst into blossom only to remain a
little while to gladden our hearts, so children are given to
brighten the home, and like the flowers they often die, some in
sweet bud, some in fuller blossom, but never too early to make
heaven fairer and sweeter with the immortal bloom. We suffer a
temporary loss, yet we are enriched, for 'Where our treasure is
there will our heart be also. Enriched because the spirit of the
departed remains with us and we are drawn nearer to the Christ
whose mission is 'to heal the broken hearted and to comfort all
that mourn.' The word comfort means 'made strong together.' The
sorrow is not altogether taken away, but it is transformed and
transfigured by the help of Christ our fellow sufferer and
sympathizer. We receive courage and hope from the thought that
the Comforter who makes us strong will abide with us forever,
will uphold us with the right hand of His righteousness, and
give us joy for sadness. Thus through sorrow we learn for fully
to know our Savior, and are enabled to have the same faith as
the poet when he says: Why do we mourn for dying friends Or
shake at death's alarm? This but the voice that Jesus sends To
call them to His arms. Rev. J. R. Smith

The three month's old baby boy of Mr. and Mrs. C. R. Johnson
passed away Sunday evening. The child has not been well since
birth, but everything known to human skill was tried in order to
get it on the road to health without avail. It seemed to be
impossible to get food that would agree with it. The funeral
services were held Tuesday morning from the Congregational
church. This is the second child Mr. and Mrs. Johnson have lost
and their load of sorrow is indeed heavy. They have the sincere
sympathy of the community in their sorrow.

Drowned In The Beaver
- - - - -
Roy Brown Was Frightened While Making the Crossing and Jumped to
His Death
- - - - -
Recent heavy rains, a swollen stream and an attempted crossing
of the Beaver, tells the story of another death.
Roy Brown of Savage, Mont., in company with a friend, were on
their way from the formers homestead to Bert Brown's farm north
of town Tuesday, and at about 11:30 attempted to cross the
Beaver creek at what is known as the Shibley crossing. The
stream was high and swift from recent rains, and when the horses
and buggy struck the current Mr. Brown became frightened, threw
the lines and jumped into the stream, believing he could make
the shore, but the swift current proved too much for him and he
was drowned. His companion stuck to the rig and was finally
brought to shore by the team. He immediately gave the alarm and
a searching party was organized to recover the body. Tuesday
afternoon and night were spent in the search without avail.
Roy Brown came to Beach about three years ago, and two years ago
took up a homestead near Savage, Mont., where he has since
lived. In September 1911 he was married to Miss Edith Heinze of
Rushford, Minn. He was 23 years of age in July last. Besides his
wife he has four brothers north of town, Bert, Hiram, Arthur and
Ben, and a sister, Mrs. Frank Holmberg. His sudden and untimely
demise is a severe blow to his wife and relatives, and to them
is extended the sympathy of the entire community in their deep
sorrow.
The body was recovered Wednesday, and funeral services will be
held today, full arrangements not having been made at time we go
to press.

A Double Drowning In David Creek Sunday Evening
- - - - -
Stream Swollen on Account of Heavy Rains and Current Increased
to Velocity of a Torrent
- - - - -
The citizens of Beach were horrified Monday morning when they
heard the report that Mr. and Mrs. Leo Hart were drowned in
Davis creek Sunday evening, but the news proved to be the truth.
Sunday afternoon Mr. and Mrs. Hart, in company with Mr. and Mrs.
Victor Phersson of Medora, started to drive out to the farm of
J. A. McGregor, father of Mrs. Hart, and when about twelve miles
south of Medora attempted to cross Davis creek. The creek was
running bank full on account of the recent heavy rains, but as
this was an occasional place of crossing and a good . . . .m,
Mr. Hart evidently anticipated no danger and drove into the
stream. As soon as the horses struck the current they were swept
off their feet, the buggy overturned and its occupants thrown
into the water. Mr. Phersson succeeded in making the bank and
immediately sought to render such assistance as was in his
power, but no trace of the others could be found. A bend in the
creek just below the crossing forms a horse shoe, and when he
sighted the team it had made the entire circuit of the horse
shoe, which shows the velocity of the current. As Mrs. Phersson
started down stream she was thrown close enough to the shore so
that her feet caught in some brush on the bank and held here and
she had presence of mind enough to realize that if she could get
hold of this bush she could save herself, which she finally
succeeded in doing. As soon as she got out of the water she
immediately went to the nearest house and telephoned Medora for
help, while her husband searched the stream for any sight of Mr.
and Mrs. Hart.
When help arrived search was begun for the bodies, but not until
about 4 o'clock Monday morning was either found. Mr. Hart was
discovered about the time some 200 feet below where they had
attempted to make the crossing, and his wife was found some
three hours later.
Mr. Hart came to this part of the country some four or five
years ago, and since the opening of the Stockmen's State Bank at
Medora has occupied the position of assistant cashier. Some six
months ago he married Miss Ruth McGregor of Medora, a young lady
who numbers her friends by the number of her acquaintances, and
together they started out on the journey of life under very
bright and happy prospects. Both were loved and respected by all
who knew them, and their untimely demise will be greatly
mourned.
Funeral services were held at the residence in Medora on
Wednesday afternoon, and were largely attended. Rev. Orchard of
Dickinson conducted the service. Mr. Hart was a member of the
Elk's lodge of Dickinson, and that society was well represented
at the service, as was also the Eastern Star lodge of Dickinson,
of which Mrs. Hart was a member. The especially large and
exquisite collection of floral tributes fairly banked the
caskets, and attests the popularity of the young couple. The
remains were shipped to Dickinson Thursday, where they will be
interred, the Elks taking charge of the services at the grave of
Mr. Hart, and the Eastern Star holding their solemn and
impressive rites at the grave of their departed sister.
To Mr. and Mrs. J. A. McGregor, who are so well known in the
community among the older settlers, as well as to Mr. and Mrs.
Hart, is extended the sincere sympathy of the entire community.

An Announcement Party

Mrs. Henry Walters Give Party In Honor of Her Daughter
- - - - -
The handsome new home of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Walters was the
scene of a very pretty and unique party last Saturday afternoon.
It was given by Mrs. Walters in honor of her daughter Grace,
whose marriage was announced to take place the last of October.
The color scheme was red and white, red hearts and cupids, with
red sweet peas and nasturtiums giving a most pleasing effect in
the late afternoon light. The draperies were decorated with huge
paper hearts intertwined, and the tables were bright with red
heart dollies and the red cupid place cards. Flowers were massed
on the piano, between the colonnades and formed the center piece
for each table. The dome over the bride's table was decorated
with a large red bell, the drop being a heart.
The three course supper was served at the usual hour and was
exceedingly delectable in more than one way as the prevailing
colors had been carried out most cleverly in the arrangements of
the vands. The announcement of the coming nuptials was given in
a verse which was rolled up in the little red trimmed surprise
packages laid on the desert plate.
Covers were laid for thirty. The out of town guests at the party
were as follows: Mrs. Lytle of Chippewa Falls, Wis., Mrs. Aman
of Rawlins, Wyoming, Miss Margaret McCoy of Guthrie, Okla., and
Mrs. Johnson of Osage, Ia., the mother and guest of Mrs. Hudson.

Roy N. Brown was born in Winona County, Minn. July 30th, 1890.
He grew to manhood at the place of his birth, and in the fall of
1910 he came to N. Dak. Some time later he filed on a homestead
near the Blue Mountains. On September 13th, 1911, he married
Miss Edith Henzy of Rushford, Minn., and immediately the newly
wedded couple came out to N. Dak. and started housekeeping on
the homestead. Roy was getting along nicely in his work, and
things were running smoothly, and the future looked bright. But
as often happens the unexpected occurred. He with a neighbor
tried to ford the Beaver, swollen during the previous night by
heavy rains last Tuesday morning. They had miscalculated the
danger of the flood waters, and when they got into midstream the
buggy began to go with the stream, and the men leaped for their
lives. Roy's neighbor succeeded in keeping hold of the carriage,
and the horses got safely to shore, but Roy lost his life in his
endeavor to swim to shore. He leaves an aged father, five
brothers, and one sister besides many friends and hardest of all
a young and loving wife, a widow to mourn their loss. The
sympathy of friends is extended to the sorrowing ones. Funeral
services were held at his brother's house, Bert Brown, where a
large number of people had gathered at 10 A.M. Friday the 22,
and at the M. E. Church in Beach at 2:00 P.M. the same day. Rev.

by the Rev. John Orchard. The contracting parties desired to
escape from too much attention so left Wibaux on No. 6 and they
wished to be married and leave Dickinson on No. 4 and did not
arrive in Dickinson until 1 a.m., hence the clergyman met them
at the train and tied the knot at the early hour. Mr. Spike is

after a trip to the cities of Winnipeg and St. Paul the couple
will return west, and take up their duties again.

read the papers, for when he was discovered he was dead, but
seated in a chair with his feet on the edge of the table. Heart
failure was the cause.
Mr. Gregory was about 75 years of age. He came to the Golden
Valley four or five years ago and purchased a farm north of
town, which he later sold. He then took a homestead in the
neighborhood of Edgehill, Mont., but we are informed had not
made final proof. He was a veteran of the civil war and the
veterans had charge of the funeral, which was held from the
Methodist church on Wednesday, Rev. Gress preaching the sermon.
His son, L. W. Gregory of Hurson, S.D., was notified of his
father's death and came at once to Beach. Whether he had other
relatives in this part of the country we did not learn.
Mr. Gregory was a very pleasant old gentleman and we have
enjoyed many an hour in his company. May his ashes rest in
peace.
