At Rest
- - - - -
Minnie Sweyer was born in Circlesville, O., June 13th,
1869. There she grew to womanhood, and in 1897 she was
married to Charles Kramer. To this union were born four
children; Elizabeth, Robert, Roy, and Helen, the oldest
being 16 years of age, and Helen a little over a year.
Mr. and Mrs. Kremer have spent most of their married
life in North Dakota, near Sentinel Butte, where Mr.
Kramer has thru hard work and careful business
management acquired considerable property. As already
stated in these columns, Mrs. Kramer died suddenly and
very unexpected on Dec. 14th, and her body was taken to
her childhood home, where she was buried on Monday, Dec.
21st. Mr. Kramer has not as yet decided what to do with
the family but will decide whether he will leave the
children in Ohio, or have them come out here with him in
the spring on the farm. The bereaved husband desires to
thank all who so kindly gave their aid in the short
illness and death of his beloved wife.

Accidently Killed
- - - - -
Geo. Skare, a young man who has been working for various
farmers in this vicinity for a couple of years, was
killed in a runaway this week. It seems in that a single
tree gave way and the team became frightened and started
to run. The wagon was loaded with a heavy tank, and it
was this that fell on Mr. Skare and injured him so
seriously that death resulted two days later at the
Dickinson hospital. As soon as the injured man was
brought to town the doctors decided that he should be
taken to the hospital; although this was done and he was
given the best of care, internal injuries caused his
death on Tuesday. He has no relatives in this country. -

We did not learn until this week that on New Year's

now to go further west in the spring.

Chrysler - Hougen

Popular Young Couple Joined in Wedlock Last Saturday
- - - - -
The friends of Miss Hazel Chrysler and George Hougen
were considerably surprised last Saturday evening to
learn that at 3 o'clock in the afternoon they had
appeared before Judge Thor Plomason, armed with the
necessary papers which, united with the spoken words,
made them husband and wife. They stole a march to that
extent on their friends and immediately after the
ceremony made their escape from the rush of
congratulations which might have followed by taking an
auto to Wibaux, where they boarded No. 3 for Miles City.
Only a short wedding trip was taken because of Mr.
Hougen's connection here with the post office and the
volume of work to be taken care of. They returned to
Beach Monday evening and will commence housekeeping
immediately in the rooms over the Farmers' & Merchants'
Bank. Miss Chrysler is the winsome and accomplished
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George Chrysler of this city,
and has a host of friends limited only by the number of
her acquaintances. She was an employee of the post
office during the holiday season and resigned her
position to take up the duties of teaching school north
of town. Mr. Hougen has been employed in the post office
for something like three years and besides having been
advanced until he is now assistant postmaster, he is
also district secretary of the civil service commission.
He is a young man of exemplary habit, industrious and
steady and by his conduct in life has won for himself
the respect and esteem of his fellow men. They will be
at home to friends after February 1. The Advance unites
with their many friends in wishing them a life of
prosperity and continued happiness.

Rogers - Ament
- - - - -
We received an announcement Wednesday morning of the
marriage of Vernon J. Ament, formerly of this city, to
Miss Lillian May Rogers of Ogden City, Utah, at the home
of the bride's parents. This will come as a surprise to
the many friends of the groom in this city, for when he
was here the idea of getting married seemed of little
importance. The wedding took place on Tuesday January 6,
1914.
Mr. Ament is a young man of ability and push and was
employed for a number of months in the printing office
in this city. He has a host of friends here who will
unite with The Advance in extending best wishes and
congratulations to him and his bride.

Suicide Alleged
- - - - -
Prominent Rancher of Montana Found Dead in Home
- - - - -
Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Lewis returned Tuesday evening from
their trip to Chico Hot Springs, Montana, where they had
been called by the alleged suicide of the former's
brother, Archie Lewis, a wealthy rancher of Paradise
Valley.
The circumstances of his death as we learned them are
these: Domestic trouble had occupied a more or less
conspicuous place in his home for some time, but an
agreement had been reached which contemplated moving to
other climes and enjoyment of their hard earned money.
To this end he had sold his ranch and had, the day of
his death, been to Livingstone and brought home with him
quite a sum of ready money. About 8 o'clock in the
evening he was found dead on the floor of the dining
room with a bullet in his head. The remains were viewed
by the coroner who pronounced it a case of suicide. His
brother, J. C. Lewis of this city was notified and when
he arrived on the scene, an inquest was demanded. Some
things difficult to explain were brought out but the
verdict sustained the coroner in his conclusions of
suicide.
The deceased has been a resident of the Paradise valley
since 1893 and through his ranching business had become
a rich man. He is very highly spoken of in the papers of
his community as a man having the highest confidence and
esteem of his fellow- men. The remains were followed to
their resting place by almost the entire population of
his community who mourn the loss of one of their best
citizens.

Heart Failure Causes Death

J. R. Smith Dies Suddenly Thursday Morning At Home In
Minneapolis
- - - - -
Word was received here Thursday by the relatives of J.
R. Smith announcing his death by heart failure at the
home in Minneapolis, Minn., early Thursday morning. This
sad news comes as a great shock to the people of Beach
and the Golden Valley, with whom Mr. Smith has been
intimately acquainted for a number of years having large
land holdings here, and being one of the most prominent
and active citizens for the betterment of this
territory.
Mr. and Mrs. John Baer and child left for Minneapolis
Thursday evening to attend the funeral, Mrs. Bear (sic)
being a daughter of the deceased.

Heart Failure Causes Death of J. R. Smith
- - - - -
The people of Beach were indeed shocked and pained last
Thursday afternoon when the news of the sudden death of
J. R. Smith was passed from one to another among our
citizens.
No particulars could be learned at that time, but later
it was learned that he died Thursday, January 15, about
noon. Heart failure was the cause, induced by stomach
trouble of long standing. The day previous he had felt
as well or better than usual and in the evening had
attended the theatre, going out to lunch afterwards. The
next morning he was seriously ill but retained
consciousness until about an hour before he passed away.
The funeral services were held from the Catholic church
on Saturday morning at 9 o'clock, interment being made
in St. Mary's cemetery.
Mr. Smith was about 57 years of age. In the early days
he came to this country and located in Sentinel Butte as
the local representative of the Golden Valley Land &
Cattle Company, later being connected with the Stonedahl
Land Co., and some three years ago organizing the J. R.
Smith Land Co. He came to Beach when the town first
started and has resided here ever since. His large land
holdings are near this city and in eastern Montana,
where he has operated one of the largest farms in the
Slope country. During the first year of his large
farming operations here his phenomenal success won for
him the title of 'Flax King' and by which he was known
over the entire northwest.
As a citizen of this community he was always ready with
his money or personal efforts to assist in whatever
undertaking was for the advancement of the city or
country, and was a staunch friend. He enjoyed a large
acquaintance and the citizens gave evidence of the
respect in which he was held by closing the places of
business in Beach during the hours in which the funeral
was being held, and by wiring for a beautiful floral
tribute to be placed on his casket.
He leaves to mourn his untimely demise a wife, son,
daughter, four sisters and one brother, all of whom were
present at the funeral besides his host of personal
friends. As soon as matters can be arranged Mrs. Smith
will come to Beach and take charge of his interests
here, which, for the present, we understand, will be
continued along the lines he had laid out for the coming
year.

Thirtieth Anniversary
- - - - -
Mr. and Mrs. John Hollestein (sic) Given a Happy
Surprise
- - - - -
Last Saturday was the thirtieth anniversary of the
wedding day of Mr. and Mrs. John Hollstein of this city,
and their many friends accepted the occasion as an
excuse to join with them in properly celebrating the
event. Accordingly just before dinner a jolly company of
between thirty and forty friends and neighbors took
possession of the Hollstein home and set about preparing
the banquet which had been provided by themselves. When
dinner was ready Mr. and Mrs. Hollstein were escorted to
the table and in front of them were several parcels. In
order that they might not be kept in suspense Rev.
Thomlinson reminded them of the event which took place
thirty years ago and which had been the excuse for the
present gathering, and in behalf of their many friends
asked them to accept the gifts which had been selected,
not for their intrinsic value, but as a token of the
esteem in which they were held by their friends and
neighbors. It was hoped that constant use of the gifts
would give them pleasure and be a constant reminder of
that friendship which can be obtained only through true
merit and right living.
Mr. Hollstein made a fitting and very feeling response,
stating that the whole affair was a great surprise to
both himself and wife and that the gifts were deeply
appreciated, but even more than the gifts was the spirit
which prompted the giving. Pearl is a symbol of the
thirtieth anniversary and the worthy couple were
presented with a pearl handled butter knife, meat fork
and berry spoon, and a very handsome eight day onyx
clock, a good representation of pearl. A most delightful
time resulted from this gathering.

Mr. and Mrs. Elisha Stockwell the Guests of Honor
- - - - -
Last Saturday the relatives and a few friends of Mr. and
Mrs. Elisha Stockwell gathered at the home of Mr. and
Mrs. Len Stockwell to assist the former couple in
properly celebrating their golden wedding. About seventy
were present.
The house had been very prettily decorated with cut
flowers, roses and carnations being present in numbers.
At one o'clock dinner was announced, fourteen tables
being necessary to set the guests. On the table of the
bride and groom of fifty years was a fruit cake sent
from a friend now in California, but formerly a neighbor
in Wisconsin.
After the refreshments had received their share of
attention and the guests were comfortably seated about
the rooms, Attorney R. F. Gallagher was called upon to
present the worthy couple with those tributes which had
been gathered, not for their money value, but as a
tribute of loyal friendship and love for the worthy
people whom this day were celebrating their golden
anniversary. And Mr. Gallagher performed this task in
his usually pleasing and very effective way, expressing
the wish that their daily use might bring to them
pleasant thoughts and happy hours.
Music furnished a portion of the program for the
afternoon, one number of which was a trio by the Misses
Gray and Miss Lee, 'Our Golden Wedding Day.'
An unusually large number of handsome and expensive
gifts were presented to Mr. and Mrs. Stockwell, among
which was a very handsome gold watch to the former, on
which was engraved, 'To Father from His Children', while
to Mrs. Stockwell the children gave a purse of $25 in
gold and handsome gold ring. A handsome gold clock, gold
spoons, gold lined dishes and a gold tea set were among
the other presents received.
Mr. and Mrs. Elisha Stockwell were married when they
were only sixteen and eighteen years of age
respectively. Mr. Stockwell served three years and eight
months in the army during the civil war and was twice
wounded. Perhaps no gift received that day was more
highly appreciated than was the letter received from an
old comrade in arms, and certainly we can add nothing to
the words of commendation, praise and high esteem in
which this worthy couple is held, so we print the letter
in full, asking Mr. and Mrs. Stockwell to accept the
sentiment therein contained as conveying the thought and
wish of all their friends. The letter reads: Mr. and
Mrs. Elisha Stockwell, Beach, N. Dak. My dear Old
Neighbors: - Your kind invitation to the golden
anniversary of your wedding on March 14th, just
received. I cannot tell you how much I regret that I am
not able to be with you on this occasion, for in all
this wide world there is no other that knows and honors
you and your past history more than he who is now
writing this. Yes, Elisha, we sat side by side on the
same wooden bench in the log school house; swam and
fished in Hall's creek; picked berries and worked in
harvest together before the day of binders (and no one
in the valley done a bigger days' work); we chopped wood
and burned coal together, and in those days, when this
country needed men to defend the old flag and save the
Union, we marched and fought side by side at Shiloh,
Vicksburg, Nashville, Spanish Fort and many other
engagements, and suffered everything but death in those
days, when we so freely give of our youth and strength
to our country's service. And in all those years I found
you a true and trusted playmate, a faithful patriotic
and generous comrade, an upright and honest citizen.
Kate, I have sat at your table and partaken of your
hospitality, and in the days long gone by you have often
been my partner in the dance, and I often look back to
those days when we all enjoyed life because we were
doing the best possible under the circumstances.
My dear friends, as I look at it today, your lives have
been a success, for you can look back over them with the
satisfaction of having done your full duty to all. No
one is the worse for your living, and many are the
blessings you have brought into this world as you
journeyed along the path of life together. That you may
live long to enjoy the blessings you have so well and
richly earned, is the sincere and heartfelt wish of your
old neighbor,

Death of Mrs. W. H. Orr
- - - - -
Last Friday afternoon at 3:15 Mrs. W. H. Orr passed to
the great beyond after a lingering illness of some
months during which she would rally and appear decidedly
better, then being worse again. Her ailments was
Bright's disease and heart trouble. She was about 25
years of age and her untimely death is sincerely
mourned.
Miss Ellen Carlson came to Beach something like four
years ago and some months later was married to Mr. Orr,
manager of the North Star lumber yards at this point. A
short time after they purchased the bakery establishment
formerly owned by Mr. Shephard and have been conducting
a very successful business in that line. Mrs. Orr was
extremely ambitious and when able to be about at all
would insist on doing those little things about the
store to make it more attractive and properly arranged.
Only a few weeks ago Mr. Orr took her to specialists in
Minnesota in the hope that something could be done for
her, but without avail. On her return to Beach she was
almost immediately taken with a severe attack from which
she never rallied. She leaves a husband to mourn her
death, as well as four sisters to whom the community
extend sympathy.
Last Saturday afternoon services were held at the
undertaking parlor in this city and Sunday morning the
remains, accompanied by Mr. Orr and Mr. and Mrs. Robb,
were started for Stevens, Minn., where interment will
take place, among the scenes of her childhood.

Death of Simon Hoverson
- - - - -
Simon Hoverson, brother of Ed Hoverson, died at his home
in this city last Sunday morning at 5:30, of Bright's
disease, at the age of fifty-one years, after an illness
of about two months, during which he was a patient
sufferer.
Mr. Hoverson was born in Norway in January, 1863, and
came to this country with his parents in 1870, settling
in Polk county, Minn., on a homestead. He experienced
more than his share the hardships of a frontier life,
but was always cheerful and a hard working man. When his
parents died he, in partnership with his brother John,
bought the old homestead. A few years after he sold his
share to his brother and bought a farm near Beanson,
Minn. He retired from active farming about eight years
ago and moved to Hayward, Wis. He came to Beach about
six years ago and accepted a position with Overstad &
Hoverson in their hardware and furniture business.
In 1893 he was married to Lena Anderson, and to this
union three children were born, two daughters and a son,
all of whom survive the deceased. The oldest daughter is
Mrs. P. E. Beito of this city and the others Albert and
Lila are aged 17 and 14 respectively.
The funeral services, both in English and Norwegian,
will be held at the Norwegian Lutheran church, of which
the deceased was a member, at 3 o'clock p.m. next
Sunday, and the remains, accompanied by the relative,
will leave on the evening train for Starbuck, Minn.,
where interment will be made.

J. C. Taggart Answers Final Summons at Medford, Ore.,
Where Interment was Made
- - - - -
The Advance this week is called upon to chronicle the
death of an old resident of this community, Mr. J. C.
Taggert who died at his home at Medford, Oregon, Friday,
April 10th, he having been a patient sufferer of
ulcerations of the stomach for some time. The deceased
was one of the early pioneers of the Golden Valley,
having formerly owned the farm now occupied by Archie
Woodhull, who purchased the farm two years ago. After
leaving the farm the Taggart family moved to this city
where they resided for about a year, after which they
moved to Medford, Oregon, where death claimed the
sufferer. Mr. and Mrs. Taggart spent considerable time
in Beach last fall visiting with relatives and their
many friends here. At that time the deceased was in very
poor health but was always cheerful and pleasant with
his associates. Besides Mrs. Taggert, there is left to
mourn his death, two daughters and one son. The
daughters are Mrs. Fred Knoop of this place and Mrs.
Theodore Johnson, who together with the husband left
here a short time ago for Medford with the intention of
residing there permanently. The son resides in South
Dakota. Mrs. Taggert is a sister of Archie and W. H.
Woodhull of this place.
The interment took place at Medford where the last sad
rites were read over the remains of a man who in life
had won the respect of all who knew him. A man whose
friendship was a precious gift. A man who left behind

John Kerrigan Answers Call
- - - - -
Old and Respected Resident of Beach Passed to The Great
Beyond Monday Morning
- - - - -
John Kerrigan was born in Dublin, Ireland, March 13,
1835 and died April 21, 1914, being eighty years one
month and seven days old at the time of his death. He
was the son of John and Mary Kerrigan. His father died
in Ireland and he with his mother, three brothers and
two sisters, emigrated to the United States in June,
1849, settling at Yoysiek Falls, New York, later
removing to Walworth County, Wisconsin, at which place
the deceased was married to Miss Lucinda Volkenberger.
After their marriage, in 1861, they moved to Ridgeville,
Monroe County Wisconsin, where their ten children were
born, nine of whom survive him, a little daughter having
died in infancy. Mrs. Kerrigan died Feb. 16, 1898 and
since that time Mr. Kerrigan has resided continuously
with his daughter Mary. They came to Beach in the spring
of 1906 and have made their home here since that time.
Mr. Kerrigan's brothers and sisters who emigrated with
him to America have all preceded him to the grave, his
mother died in 1870 while residing with the deceased at
his home and his children who are left to mourn his
death are Edward, James, Patrick, Peter, George and Mary
of this place, John of Norwalk, Wisconsin, Album and
Ella of St. Paul. Minnesota.
The funeral services were held from St. John's Catholic
church in this city Tuesday forenoon and the same
evening the remains were taken to Norwalk, Wisconsin for
interment along side of those of his wife. Mr. Kerrigan
has been ailing for a long time and death was not
unexpected by the many friends of the Kerrigan family
here. The devotion of Mary toward her father during his
long illness was beautiful. Keeping a continuous vigil
at his bedside month after month, speaking words of
consolation to the patient sufferer and with a kindly
hand pushing back from the fevered brow the locks that
the cares of more than three quarters of a century had
turned to silver never ceasing her guardianship until
the hand of death reached down and stilled the heart
beats of a man who had lived a long and useful life.
The sons also had no other thoughts during the serious
illness of their father but to make things as
comfortable as possible for him ere he passed to the
Great Beyond. The death came as a severe blow to all the
relatives and the sympathy of the community is extended
to them in the hour of their bereavement.
All of the family who reside here accompanied the
remains to Wisconsin for interment.

Following a quarrel over sheep which were trespassing on

Anton Gyolai, a homesteader, over the head with a
shepherd's crook and killed him instantly at 2 p.m.
Tuesday afternoon. The crime was committed 8 miles west

into Austin's land and he went after them. The two had a
dispute and Austin hit Gyolai over the head.

Celebrate Their 50th Anniversary
- - - - -
Mr. and Mrs. Reier Thompson of This City Celebrate 50th
Year of Their Marriage - Over 100 Present
- - - - -
Over a hundred of the friends and relatives of Mr. and
Mrs. Reier Thompson, prominent citizens of Beach,
assembled at the venerable couple's home on south Blanch
street Monday afternoon and participated in the
celebration of their golden wedding anniversary, which
was also the anniversary of Mrs. Thompson's 69th
birthday. All the children and a large number of the
grand children were present on this occasion.
The banquet for this glorious event was held in a large
tent, 70 feet wide, pitched on the lawn, this being the
only manner in which so large a gathering could be taken
care of at the home. The tables were decorated with
carnations and yellow roses, to denote gold, and were
burdened with delicious viands and palatable food of
every kind until they fairly groaned under the weight. A
big wedding cake about 18 inches high formed the
center-piece. Place cards also carried out the gold
scheme, being tied with yellow ribbons. The Misses Ruth
Laughnan, Clara Olson, Irene Eide, Lila and Evelyne
Hoverson, Mattie Thompson and Theresa Anderson served at
the tables. After the guests had partaken of the hearty
repast, Rev. Theo. Bursett, pastor of the Lutheran
church, congratulated Mr. and Mrs. Thompson on their
having reached their 50th year of connubial bliss, and
on behalf of the couple's children, presented them with
an elegant gold watch and gold ring. Rev. Bursett spoke
in the Norwegian language and gave a brief history of
the noted couple. Other speakers were Supt. C. J. N.
Nelson of the city schools, Rev. Synnes of the Lutheran
church and Senator Ed. Hoverson. At the conclusion Mr.
Thompson thanked those present for their attendance at
the golden wedding celebration and for the valuable
gifts received. Besides the gifts from their children
Mr. and Mrs. Thompson were the recipients of many other
valuable presents.
It was fifty years ago Monday that Reier Thompson and
Miss Bronilde Serene Nelson were united in marriage on
his father's farmstead in Jackson county, Wis., which he
purchased and where they spent 30 years of their life.
Both had been born near Haugesond, Norway, Reier
Thompson on September 7, 1844, and the two attended
school together and were playmates.
When they were 11 and 12 years of age, respectively, the
two families moved to America, settling near each other
in Dane county, Wis. Here again the boy and the girl
were good friends, only the friendship was rapidly
transforming itself to the deeper feeling of love. Once
again the Thompson and Nelson families moved and once
again they moved together, this time to Jackson country,
Wis., where the young couple married soon after and took
up their abode on Reier's father's farm, which he bought
and for 30 years thereafter tilled. There it was that he
learned how to coax mother earth to give up its
treasured fruits.
In 1894 Mr. Thompson left the farm and went to Blair,
Wis., where he engaged in the lumber business,
conducting a lumber yard at that place for a number of
years previous to coming to North Dakota. This he did in
the spring of 1907, coming to Beach and purchasing from
Uhlencott the beginnings of a lumber yard, which Mr.
Thompson and his sons have worked up to a flourishing
business, the Golden Valley Lumber company.
Besides the lumber business, Mr. Thompson also invested
in a section and a half of land south of town, and this
he has tilled and seeded each year. He is as active as
even in business and has been one of Beach's and the
Golden Valley's best boosters.
In their fifty years of wedded life, Mr. and Mrs.
Thompson became the happy parents of six boys and four
girls. A boy and girl, Thomas and Isabelle, died in
childhood, while another daughter, Julia, died after she
was married twenty years ago. All of the remaining
children are happily married and were here for the
reunion and the golden wedding celebration. They are C.
L. Thompson of Grafton, Nels Thompson of Taylor, Wis.,
Mrs. J. O. Knuteson and Mrs. A. Anderson of Blair, Wis.,
and Henry, Albert and Rudolph Thompson of Beach, whom,
with their wives and husbands, together with thirteen of
the 25 grand children, took part in the big celebration.
Mr. Thompson at 69 years is hale and hearty and
confidently looks forward to the celebration of their
75th wedding anniversary, as his worthy helpmate through
life is as healthy as himself and even more joyful and

Mrs. S. Hoverson Passed Beyond
- - - - -
Telegram Received Sunday Announcing Sudden and
Unexpected Death
- - - - -
Last Sunday Ed Hoverson received a telegram from
Starbuck, Minn., bringing the message that Mrs. Simon
Hoverson had died at that place. Mrs. Hoverson had
undergone an operation at the hospital and was
apparently doing nicely so far as the results of the
operation was concerned as far as can be learned at this
time, as there were no news received by relatives at any
time to the contrary and letters were written by her to
relatives and friends here saying that she expected to
be back home in a few days. This message was received by
her children only as additional sorrow as it will be
remembered by our readers that her husband, Simon, died
just eight weeks before and that she and her children,
Mrs. P. E. Beito, Albert and Laila Hoverson accompanied
the remains to Pope county, Minn., where the remains
were laid at rest. Mrs. Hoverson, not feeling very
strong, consulted a physician and found that a surgical
operation was necessary and which was performed three
weeks before her death. Her son-in-law, P. E. Beito, was
with her two weeks before and after the operation and
left her in the hopes of soon seeing her at home in
Beach.
Mrs. Hoverson was born in Norway forty one years ago and
came to America when 17 years old, near Benson, Minn.,
and in 1892 she was joined in the bonds of matrimony to
Simon Hoverson and resided on a farm there for about
fifteen years. There were three children born, all of
whom now survive their heavy loss of father and mother,
who followed each other in death in just eight weeks.
Mr. and Mrs. Beito, Albert and Laila Hoverson, Mr. and
Mrs. Ed Hoverson and children will leave Sunday evening
for Starbuck, Minn., to attend the funeral which will be
held at the Greenland church in Pope country and the
remains will be laid to rest by the side of her husband.
The Advance joins with the many friends of the bereaved
in extending sympathy to them and especially to the
family involving Mr. Beito, as there has been four
deaths in eight weeks by the death of his father and a
niece. We hope that this may be the last sad news for
them for a long time to come.

Sudden Death of Mrs. Hugh Egan
- - - - -
After Brief Illness One of Beach's Popular Young Women
is Called Beyond
- - - - -
The shadow of death cast its darkness over this city
this week and bore away to the distant shores the spirit
of Mrs. Hugh Egan, known by almost everybody in the
Golden Valley and whose friendship was cherished by all.
Her death occurred Monday morning after about a week's
illness, and when the sad news was spread over the city,
a gloom that only the dark shadows of death can father
settled over the entire community. Death always leaves a
trail of sadness behind, but when the hand of the aged
reaper reaches out and plucks from among us one of the
fairest flowers in the life of the community it touches
the hearts of everyone.
Katheryn Carroll was born at Sparta, Wisconsin, June 6,
1893, and died at Beach, North Dakota, June 1, 1914,
being twenty-one years old at the time of her death. She
was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James Carroll, her
mother having passed away in 904 and her father in April
1910. A brother died in 1902, and with the death of her
parents, Katheryn was left alone in the world, her only
living relatives being an aunt, Mrs. Henry Crossen, and
two cousins, Libby and Mamie Crossen, of Sparta. These
relatives were here to attend the funeral. In 1910 the
deceased came to Beach and made her home with Sparta
friends and on September 19, 1911, she was married to
Hugh Egan. Two children, a girl and a boy were born to
them, both of whom died in their infancy and were buried
in the Catholic cemetery here, where the remains of the
mother now rest.
The funeral of Mrs. Egan, which was held Wednesday
forenoon, was one of the largest attended of any ever
held in this community. The business houses of the city
were closed during the forenoon in respect for the dead
and the people turned out enmasse to attend the last sad
rites. The services were held in the Catholic church,
Rev. Father Wolpers officiating. The Knights of
Columbus, of which the husband is a member, and the
Ladies Altar Society, of which deceased was a member,
acted as escorts from the residence to the church, and
again from the church to the cemetery. The pall-bearers
were Mark Jones, M H. Jefferson, Loren Austin, Julius
Englehardt, A. L. Arnold and A. E. Farris, and the lady
pall-bearers were Mrs. Tom Powers, Misses Mary Kerrigan,
Mary Bartley, Vangie Butterfield, Eileen Madison and
Ruth Laughnan.
The flowers and floral wreaths, tributes of the friends
and relatives of the deceased were beautiful. The
Knights of Columbus, and the Social Hour Club, also the
Royal Neighbors sent flowers and wreathes as a token of
respect and an emblem of sorrow.

Bride of Four Days is Left Widow - Tragedy Occurred on
Monday In Yellowstone River
- - - - -
Alfred J. Oppegard, aged 25 years, the Western Union
telegraph operator at Sidney, was drowned while bathing
in the Yellowstone river at Savage early Monday morning.
Mr. Oppegard was known to be a fairly good swimmer and
the only possible explanation of the fatality is that he
was either taken with a cramp or was drawn into a
suckhole. Up to the time of going to press, the body had
not been recovered. The saddest part of the occurrence
is the fact that the drowned man had been married but
four days and was, at the time of the accident, on his
honeymoon, having just secured a ten day leave of
absence. His widow was Miss Neva Ray, a 1912-13 Dawson
County High student, whom he married on July 9th, and
she is said to be nearly prostrated from the shock of
her untimely bereavement.

Murdered Man Was Not Sexse
- - - - -
Discovery Further Complicates Mystery of McKenzie County
Murder, and Troubles Authorities
- - - - -
Schafer, N.D., Aug. 5 - The body found in the Missouri
river near Nesson, McKenzie county, and identified as
that of Henry Sexse, for whose murder Sam Burns is being
held without bonds, was not that of Sexse, but was that
of Carl Radnitz, of Minneapolis.
This last discovery increases that mystery of the
disappearance of Sexse and leaves the position of Burns
more in doubt. Sexse, a claim holder, disappeared. A few
days later a body thought to have been his, with a
bullet hole in the breast, was found in the river. A
short time afterwards Sam Burns, a neighbor, stated that
he had purchased Sexse's farm and the later had gone to
Canada. He also is alleged to have sold some personal
articles that were known to have belonged to Sexse. This
led to his arrest and so excited did some of the people
become that there was talk of lynching and Burns was
transferred to the jail at Minot. Recently a more
thorough examination of the clothing on the body of the
floater showed a key ring in the lining of a pocket. It
bore the name of Carl Radnitz of Minneapolis. Relatives
came here and through dental work and other ways
identified the body as that of Radnitz instead of
Sexse's. Radnitz had been in Mondak, Mont., and was ill
from blood poisoning last winter, after which he
disappeared. That he was murdered at Mondak, and his
body thrown into the river, appears certain as there was
a ragged bullet hole in his breast.

Jessie Hart Killed In Auto Accident
- - - - -
Popular Sentinel Butte Girl Killed When Auto burned
Turtle Last Saturday
- - - - -
The sudden death of Miss Bessie Hart, who was killed in
an automobile accident near Sentinel Butte Saturday
forenoon has thrown a pall of gloom over that village.
The accident occurred at about eleven o'clock near the
Joseph Kitchen farm south of that place.
Miss Hart, who had complained of not feeling well, had
gone for an auto ride in a machine driven by Arthur
Pelkey, and in the course of the drive intended to come
to Beach to consult a physician. Meeting W. C. Stuhr,
the Sentinel Butte banker in his car, young Pelkey
turned to one side to allow him to pass, when Miss Hart,
who it is thought feared he had not turned far enough to
the right, seized the steering wheel. The front wheels
were cramped too suddenly, and the car turned turtle,
Miss Hart being pinned under the tonneau in such a
fashion as to break her neck. Death was instantaneous.
The road where the accident occurred had been built up
with scoria, the grading leaving it somewhat rounded at
the edge, which fact is thought to have been the real
cause of the accident.
Miss Hart was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John A. Hart,
of Sentinel Butte. The family formerly were residents of
Iowa, removing to Wibaux and later to Sentinel Butte,
where they have since made their home. Besides the
stricken parents she leaves two brothers, Ralph and
Dewey, both of Sentinel Butte, and Lloyd, of Allerton,
Iowa. She was a very popular young lady and the news of
her death caused a pall of sorrow to descend over the
entire city.
The funeral services were held in the Congregational
church of Sentinel Butte at 3 o'clock Tuesday afternoon,
and was one of the largest ever held in this city.
Fifteen beautiful floral pieces, the tribute of
sorrowing friends, were grouped about the bier. One of
the most beautiful floral offerings was of a heart
shaped design, in the center of which appeared the word
'Bessie'. The choir, of which she was a member and with
which she had so many times sung, furnished the music,
crepe depending from the chair that Miss Hart once
occupied. The church was beautifully decorated to the
memory of the young life of such budding promise
transplanted in the twinkling of an eye to the gardens
above. The remains were laid to rest in the Sentinel
Butte cemetery, the casket being followed by a large
number of sorrowing friends.

Farmer Killed, Team Runs Away
- - - - -
Sander Larson a homesteader and farmer living about
eleven miles northeast of Marmarth, was fatally injured
and although brought into town and given medical
attention he died in a few hours.
The deceased had been hauling manure from his stable and
the first known of the accident was about 5:30 p.m.,
when Elof Benson, who lives in the same section with
him, noticed his team running down across the field with
nothing hitched to them. Mr. Benson hurried over to the
Larson place where he found the injured man laying in a
heap, torn and bruised and partially unconscious.
Charley Nelson, a brother-in-law of Mr. Larson and who
also lives in that section was summoned, and brought
Larson to town, where he was given medical attention but
without avail, and late that evening he died.
On the way into town, Mr. Larson was conscious most of
the time, and although suffering terrible pain, and weak
from loss of blood, he told Mr. Nelson enough to
establish the fact that he had just climbed on to the
load of manure to start for the field, when he
discovered that one of the lines was under the tongue,
and in his endeavor to untangle the line, the horses
became unmanageable and started to run, with the result
that he could not hold them.
In his endeavor to stop them he fell off the load, with
the probability that his leg became entangled in the
wheel, where it was badly torn and lacerated, breaking
the leg and lacerating the muscles, causing a serious
loss of blood.
He also received severe injuries about the head and it
is thought that his death ultimately resulted from the
effects of a fracture of the skull.

Son of Lyman Page Was Drowned in Bullion Creek
- - - - -
Accident Occurred Saturday When Little Fellow While
Wading Stepped in Hold
- - - - -
Wallie Page, the eleven-year old son of Mr. and Mrs.
Lyman Page of near Burkey, was drowned Sunday in Bullion
creek. The little fellow's sudden demise was a severe
shock to his parents, both of whom are prostrated with
grief over the affair. In company with his brother and
cousin, Wallie had gone to the Bullion and gone in
wading. At this season of the year there is very little
water in the stream except in places where the creek bed
is deep enough to act as a reservoir for holding water.
The boy was in the lead as they walked down the stream,
the other two lads following directly behind him.
Stepping into a deep hole he was unable to help himself,
and it is thought that the cold water, fed from a
spring, may have produced cramps. He came to the surface
but once, but the other two boys were unable to reach
him, and he sank to his death.
The frightened lads ran all the way to the Page home, a
distance of a half mile, to secure aid, but by the time
Lyman Page, accompanied by his brother and neighbors
arrived and the body rescued, life was extinct. The
parents are heartbroken over the sad affair.
Funeral services were held Tuesday at the home of the
parents near Burkey, following which the remains were
brought to Beach and interred in the Beach cemetery. The
bereaved parents have the sympathy of the community.

Lafayette Funk
- - - - -
LaFayette Funk was born to Isaac E. and Mrs. E. Funk at
Bellflower, McLean county, Illinois, June 17, 1876,
coming to Lake Benton, Minn., with his parents in March,
1890, where he resided until 1895.
He worked at Rockford and Chicago, Illinois, until 1910,
when his health failed and he came home. He has lived in
Beach with his mother and sister for about a year, until
the illness of the past few weeks culminated in his
quietly going to sleep Sunday morning, Sept. 6th at
4:30, aged 38 years, 2 months and 20 days.
Death is always a shock, but the friends and loved ones
who had watched him suffer through these later weeks
could not but be thankful that the suffering was ended
when there was not hope of recovery, especially as he
regained consciousness long enough a little over two
weeks before his death to acknowledge his trust in Jesus
Christ as his Saviour. As Paul has said: 'It is very far
better to depart and be with Christ.'
Beside his many friends there are left to mourn their
loss his mother, Mary E. Funk, and two sisters and two
brothers, Mrs. Betty Grapes of Pleasant Hill, Illinois;
Miss Lucy B. Funk of Beach, Guy J. Funk of Thief River
Falls, Minn., and Charlie D. Funk, of Fredonia, N. Dak.
The funeral services were conducted from the home Monday
at 10:30 by the pastor of the Congregational church,
Rev. W. Howard Thomlinson, the choir of the church
providing the music. Interment will be at Bellflower,
Illinois. Miss Funk accompanied the remains, leaving on
No. 2 Monday. Services will also be conducted at
Bellflower, where many of the friends of the diseased
still live.

J. A. McGregor Passes Away
- - - - -
Succumbs to Cancer After Lingering Illness - Was Early
Billings County Pioneer
- - - - -
J. A. McGregor, one of Billings county's earliest
pioneers, died at St. Joseph's hospital at St. Paul
Wednesday of cancer, from which he had for some time
been suffering. Mr. McGregor had an operation for his
ailment last spring, but the operation proved of no
avail, since which time he had been steadily failing.
Mrs. McGregor and his son Lawrence were with him when
the summons came.
John Andrew McGregor came to the northwest in 1873,
settling in Iowa, moving from there to Minnesota, and
coming to the Black Hill, via Bismarck, in 1876,
notwithstanding the fact that the Indians were making a
great deal of trouble in that vicinity at that time.
Mining did not pan out well for him, and he trapped and
shot for a time, and then drifted down the Little
Missouri to what is now Medora in 1880. In 1886 he went
to Dickinson and was manager of the Dickinson Mercantile
company until 1895, when he came to Beach, and took up
ranching. He prospered, held county offices, was
prominent in church and society, and in the Masonic
order in Dickinson and Beach. He had many friends all
over the northwest, and general regret is felt at his
taking away.
Funeral services, which we understand was one of the
largest in several years were held at Dickinson
yesterday, where the body was interred.

Mrs. S. E. Zollinger, Mother of Advance Editor Called
Home After Long Illness
- - - - -
After an illness extending over nearly three years, an
operation at the Beach hospital two years ago revealing
the presence of cancer, Mrs. S. Zollinger, mother of The
Advance editor, quietly passed away at his home at
Stuart. Her death occurred Friday, at the age of 48
years.
Funeral services were held at the U. B. church at
Carlyle, Sunday, where in conformity to her wishes
interment took place. Services were conducted by Rev.
Whitaker and Rev. Bovey, from a text, the Lord's Prayer,
which she had chosen before her death. Many were the
beautiful floral offerings sent by sympathizing
neighbors and friends, many of whom had ministered to
her comfort in her last illness. The hymns which the
choir sang were likewise chosen by her before the end,
and her last wishes were faithfully adhered to. The
casket was borne by Dr. C. E. Fuller, J. W. Berg, George
Hougen, R. A. Sprague, T. G. Plomasen and C. I. Crone,
Masonic brethren of the editor.
In August, 1885, mother was married to Samuel E.
Zollinger. They were childhood sweethearts, and as such
remained till life's course was run. Together they
attended school and shared each other's childhood's joys
and sorrows. Together they passed from young manhood and
young womanhood. Early they plighted their troth, while
yet children in school, with a little brass ring which,
though tarnished, was the pledge of a love which in
their mature years they celebrated before matrimony's
altar. The children, R. O. Zollinger, and F. R.
Zollinger, the latter of Ismay, Mont., together with the
bereaved husband and father were at the bedside when the
last summons came. Today we stand on the threshold of a
great grief - a grief which, though heavy with tears, is
less poignant when we realize that her passing is simply
a transition from things earthly to life eternal beyond
the grave. Her life was an exemplification of the
Christian creed - her last moments before crossing the
dark river to the realms of eternal light were golden
with an implicit faith that was a surcease to her
earthly pains and suffering.
Her gentle spirit took its flight on the wings of the
morning, the beautiful sunlight which heralded another
day and was emblematical of the shores of light which
was her haven streaming through her window like a
benediction. Calmly, peacefully and with a smile upon
her lips, like a tired child at the close of day, she
closed her eyes in dreamless slumber.
Mother meant all to us that mother could mean to any
man, and her passing leaves a void in the home which,
though hallowed by her presence in days gone by, can
never again be filled. In loving retrospection we go
back on memory's wings to the days of childhood, when
mother's knee, her loving hand upon our head, was the
altar to which we brought boyish sorrows - our rock of
refuge at every boyhood storm. A hurt was instantly
cured by a healing kiss from the mother's lips. Often we
came pleading forgiveness for the pains which our
thoughtless youth must have caused her. It was never
withheld, and her confidence in her boys was an
inspiration. With invisible reins, stronger than links
of steel, she held us and guided us by precept and
example. Dark days were made sunny by her smile and her
moments were jeweled with rosy joy in unselfish service
for others.
Cheerful and uncomplaining in the last months of her
suffering, when the ravages of disease had torn and
racked her gently body, her faith was a beautiful thing.
When the United Brethren church at Stuart was organized
she became a charter member, and though unable to attend
during the last few weeks of her illness, she displayed
an unfailing interest in its work, with the constant
prayer that it might survive the struggles of frontier
missionary to fulfill its purpose. Throughout her entire
life she had actively taken part in church work, having
as her inspiration a lifetime of faithful service which
her father had dedicated as pastor to his God. Of gentle
birth and breeding, intellectual, a brilliant
conversationalist, and a profound literary student, but
for her modest retirement and unswerving devotion to
home, she might have achieved more than transitory fame.
Whatever of pride her husband and boys may have
experienced in her accomplishments, it is as a faithful
wife and mother that she has erected in our hearts a
monument more lasting than the column of Vendome.
Mother! the term gives a lullaby of accent to the
dialect of human-kind. Empty indeed are the titles and
glittering baubles of earthly fame and princely
possessions when compared to these.
We know not what the years may bring; what successes or
what failures may be ours; what our allotted term of
years may be, but enshrined in our hearts,
uncontaminated by the dross in life's furious race,
there will always remain an image of mother, her
influence for good radiating from her like beams from
the shining sun - apples of gold in pictures of silver -
until that day when life's secret is eternally solved.

William Cline, a farmer, living about nine miles
southwest of LaMoure.
A loaded gun was hanging over the floor. Mr. Cline was
sitting in a corner of the room and Mrs. Cline in
passing out allowed the door to slam shut, with
sufficient force to jar the gun from its resting place.
In falling to the floor it was discharged, the load
striking Mr. Cline full in the abdomen. He died an hour

Three Killed In Auto Accident

Automobile Goes Over Embankment, Killing Husband, Wife
And Child
- - - - -
The citizens of Wibaux were shocked at the untimely
passing of Mr. and Mrs. Schwab, who with their three
children were making an overland trip from Billings in
the Apperson car. It is understood here that Mr. Schwab
had but recently purchased the store at Wibaux, and
after having shipped his household goods to that town,
with his family started to make the trip overland,
expecting to make that their future home. The accident
occurred at a short distance west of Waco, Mont.
Accounts of the accident differ, but it is understood
here that the accident took place when the machine,
traveling at a moderate rate of speed, reached a narrow
grade which led over the railroad crossing. The outer
wheels struck a soft spot at the outside of the grade
and Mr. Schwab was unable to turn the front wheels back
in the road, the heavy car going over the embankment and
turning turtle in a slough of shallow water. Mr. and
Mrs. Schwab and one of the children were instantly
killed. The remaining children, though badly shaken up
and frightened, escaped injury.
The accident occurred in sight of the Waco section crew,
who were working near, and they immediately went to the
rescue and with block and tackle succeeded in
extricating the heavy car and recovering the bodies,
which were shipped back to Billings for burial.

Wedding Bells

At St. John's church on Wednesday after the celebration
of high mass, Rev. Father Wolpers spoke the solemn words
which united in the holy bonds of matrimony, Leon R.
Maurice and Anna Loretta Green. Miss Kathryn Bartley
acted as bridesmaid, while Mr. Simon Schmitz played the
part of best man. The bride is a sister of Mrs. M. J.
Moran and is a girl of the sweetest and noblest
disposition, possessing superior mental attainments,
high religious sentiments and the truest and grandest of
womanly characters.
Needless to say she was highly esteemed. She had to be,
Mike Moran would not stand for any thing different. She
was charmingly arrayed in - we don't know anything about
a bride's array. But she was arrayed alright, if she was
not we would certainly have heard about it. A sumptuous
wedding dinner was partaken by the turtle doves and the
guests at the resident of M. J. Moran. And the happy
pair, glowing with the supreme joy of youth, departed on
train No. 3 to spoon away the fleeting honeymoon, that
light in life, whose long remembered rays brighten the
succeeding shadows.
May their tribe increase and their shadow never grow
less. May they hand in hand, loving and loved, wander
serenely along a rose strewn pathway of life, and float
to the other shore amid soft breezes, under silvery
moons and sunny skies.

More Wedding Bells

At St. Mary's church in Burkey, at 9 o'clock on
Wednesday morning, Harry A. Sites and Kathryn Frances
Egan, daughter of Edward Egan, were solemnly married by
Rev. Father Minixhofer. We have not been informed of the
various talents, accomplishments and charms of the
bride, but the fact that she is the daughter of Edward
Egan, speaks far more than a column of empty assertions,
for she would not be her father's daughter, if she was
not charming and good and wise and beautiful. The groom
we know nothing about, but if he were not all that the
most fastidious father-kin-law should desire, he would
not have had the honor and joy of leading Edward's
daughter to the altar. We suppose the bride was smiling
through the mists that envelope the dreamland of youth,
and the bridegroom looked as self-conscious and foolish
as bridegroom's usually do. Thus in the spring time of
their lives, together they will climb life's rocky hill,
to fall by the wayside, or reaching the apex, totter
down the other side through chilling autumn and weary
winter into the dark.

Noble - Nichols
- - - - -
In speaking of the Noble-Nichols wedding, which was
solemnized at Fargo recently, the Fargo Forum is quoted
as follows:
'E. E. Noble of Beach, and Mrs. J. H. Nichols of this
city were united in the bonds of matrimony Monday
evening at six o'clock in the parlors of the M. E.
parsonage, by Rev. J. M. Walters. Harry G. Carpenter
acted as best man and Misses Mae and Carrine, daughters
of the bride, were maid of honor and bridesmaid. Both
were dressed alike, in light blue chiffon over crepe de
chine, trimmed with pearls and carried bridal roses.
'The bride was beautifully attired in white crepe de
chine, trimmed with Venice lace, and wore a veil caught
with lilies-of-the-valley. She carried bridal roses.
'Mr. Noble is well and favorably known in banking and
business circles of North Dakota, and both have numerous
friends who extend congratulations. They will visit in
the twin cities and other points before returning to
their home at Beach.' Mr. and Mrs. Noble, who shortly
after the event returned to Beach and will make this
city their home, occupying rooms in Mr. Noble's property
on Blanche street, stole a march on many of their
friends, but a very few of whom were in the 'plot.'
Since the happy event they have been busy receiving the
congratulations and best wishes of their many friends
here.
Mrs. Nobel is an estimable lady of the Valley's
pioneers, and held many excellent qualities. She is one
in the highest esteem and respect by her many friends.
An introduction to Mr. Noble is unnecessary. Almost
without an exception he is the most widely known man in
the Golden Valley, coming here in the early days of
Beach and identifying himself wholesouledly (sic) and
wholeheartedly with any movement which would tend to the
progress and prosperity of Beach and the Golden Valley,
He was formerly cashier of the Golden Valley bank, which
position he resigned in order to accept the presidency
of the First National bank, which he held with the
utmost credit to himself and its patrons for several
years. Under his administration the affairs of the then
newly organized bank flourished and grew rapidly. Nearly
two years ago, feeling he could ill afford to neglect
his large insurance business, which had also grown by
leaps and bounds, he tendered his resignation to the
board of directors of the First National in order to
devote his entire time to insurance. It has been men of
the type of Mr. Noble, undaunted and undiscouraged, by
the threatened privations and failures of early pioneer
life, who have contributed towards making the Golden
Valley as we know it today. Mr. and Mrs. Noble have the
sincere wishes of their many friends, in which The
Advance heartily joins, for a happy and prosperous
future.

Youth Killed By Cave-In

Suffocated by Wall of Earth Which Caught Him While
Mining Coal

Fryburg, N.D., Nov. 10 - The 16 year old son of M.
Branelle, who lives one mile south of Gaylord, met death
while mining coal with his father and younger brother.
The accident happened in the edge of the badlands about
six miles west of this place.
The young man was stooping under a bank of dirt, mining
lignite coal, when the bank above suddenly gave way and
buried him underneath. All the tools at hand were also
covered up completely, and after hurriedly dispatching
the other boy for help the father made a desperate but
vain attempt to dig his son out with bare hands. Help
soon arrived, but when they reached the boy, life was
extinct, the crushing evidently causing almost instant
death.

Man Meets Death in Grain Elevator
- - - - -
Horribly Mangled in Gears When He was Engaged in Oiling
Machinery
- - - - -
Hazelton, N.D., Nov. 3 - One of the saddest and most
horrible accidents that has ever happened in Hazelton,
occurred when John Burkhardt, helper at the Farmers'
Union elevator, got caught in the chain and sprocket
drive and received injuries which proved fatal.
The young man had heard a squeaking in the shaft box in
the top of the elevator and had gone up to oil it. The
box was lubricated by a hard oil cup and it was while
attempting to turn this down that he became entangled.
Manager W. T. O'Neill was on the weighting floor at the
time and heard Burkhardt scream. He immediately threw
out the clutch stopping the machinery and hurried to the
top of the house to the assistance of the injured man
and on reaching the scene a horrifying sight met his
eyes. Burkhardt's shoulders and head was caught in
between the sprocket wheel and chain and the blood was
spurting from a dozen wounds. O'Neill tried to extricate
the injured man, but his strength was insufficient and
he was compelled to go back down and summon help. Paul
Crandell of the Occident elevator went to his assistance
and it was all the two men could do to get the man
loosened from the gear.
The examination showed that the bones of the right
shoulder were badly crushed, both jaw bones broken, the
upper one being mashed up into the roof of the mouth,
the lips torn away, besides dozens of cuts and bruises
about the head and neck, and some of the ribs broken.
The man did not lose consciousness and was able to
control his body.
Mr. Burkhardt was a young man of apparently between 25
and 30 years of age, was married and resided at Temvik
with his wife and three children.

The little three-weeks old baby girl of Mr. and Mrs.
George Sonsalla, six miles southeast of Burkey, suddenly
passed away after a short illness, her death resulted
from an attack of pneumonia. The little one had,
apparently up to her fatal illness, been in the best of
health, but the disease made such rapid headway that
nothing could be done to save her. A sad feature of the
case is that Mrs. Sonsalla was alone at the time the
death occurred, George being absent on a business trip
east. The first intimation of the little one's illness
and death was when he arrived, the day following the
demise. Funeral services were held and interment made at
Burkey. The families many friends extend their sympathy
in the hour of their bereavement.

Gruesome Discovery, Man On Engine Pilot
- - - - -
The dead, frozen body of Bemer Roseland, a Norwegian
section hand, was found on the pilot of No. 1, as it
pulled into Glendive the other morning four hours late.
Parts of the front of the engine were torn away by the
impact, and some of the wreckage of the speeder, on
which the dead man was riding to his work, covered the
pilot.
Roseland was accompanied by a companion, who sensed the
danger just in time to escape. Roseland, it is thought,
was caught in the act of jumping. The back of his head
was crusted, but no other marks were found.
The morning was an extremely cold one, and both men
bundled up tightly around the ears, which prevented
their hearing the approach of the iron monster, which
was running at a high speed to make up lost time.
Neither the engineer or fireman felt the concussion, and
were unaware of the tragedy until the train pulled into
Glendive.

Popular Couple Happily Wedded
- - - - -
Dr. C. E. Fuller and Miss Evangelyn Butterfield United
at Home of Bride
- - - - -
In the presence of the immediate family and intimate
friends of the contracting parties, Dr. C. E. Fuller and
Miss Evangelyn Butterfield, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J.
C. Butterfield, were very quietly united in the holy
bonds of matrimony at the home of the brides parents
several miles north of Beach, at ten o'clock Wednesday
morning, Rev. Father Wolper's of St John's Catholic
church of this city officiating at the marriage
ceremonial.
Though quiet, it was a most pretty affair. The bride and
groom were attended by Hon. and Mrs. J. P. Reeve, old
and intimate friends of the family.
The bride is one of the Golden Valley's most popular
daughters, coming here with her parents nearly six years
ago from Sparta, Wis., with whom she has since made her
home at the farm north of Beach, and is well and
favorably known. She is a handsome, accomplished young
lady of sweet, winsome character and many virtues. A
dutiful, considerate daughter and sister in the home she
is leaving for the more serious walk of life, she will
make the doctor a most desirable helpmate in the new
home that is to be honored and brightened with her
presence during the years to come. She was tastefully
attired in a beautiful gown of silk crepe meteor and
chiffon; and wore a beautiful diamond set lavaliere, the
latter a present from the groom.
The groom is a practicing veterinary of this city, and
although he has been a resident of the Golden Valley but
two years, he has a large clientele among the farmers of
this county and eastern Montana by whom he is held in
high regard as authority in the knowledge of his
profession. He is an industrious, conscientious young
man, who by hard work and study and diligent application
has arrived at an enviable position as one of the most
authoritative veterinaries in the state. It was largely
due to his efforts in maintaining quarantine that
western North Dakota was spared the ravages of the foot
and mouth disease, epidemic in many localities a few
weeks ago. In recognition of his valuable services in
the field of animal medicine and surgery, he was lately
appointed assistant state veterinarian by the State Live
Stock Sanitary Board, which position he has since held
with honor and credit to himself and the community. His
large practice here is a very tangible recognition and
appreciation of his ability.
After the impressive words were spoken which made them
man and wife, the bride and groom led the way to a laden
table groaning under a weight of good things, where a
delicious wedding breakfast was served in five courses
to the assembled relatives and guests. At the conclusion
of breakfast, a toast to the bride and groom was offered
by The Advance editor followed by a merry breaking of
empty glasses on the floor by all those present at its
conclusion. Hon. J. P. Reeve followed with a short, but
very excellent talk.
Those guests besides the immediate family of the bride
were: R. C. Fuller, a brother of the groom; Hon and Mrs.
J. P. Reeve; and R. O. Zollinger.
The happy couple left on No. 2 the same afternoon for
Minneapolis, accompanied by R. C. Fuller, where they
will spend Christmas at the home of the groom's mother.
From there they will go to Sparta, Wis., Mrs. Fuller's
girlhood home, where they will spend a short time
visiting relatives and friends of the bride and at
Bellevue, Iowa, also, the groom' former home. A number
of friends were at the train.
Mr. and Mrs. Fuller will be at home to their many
friends in the Kerrigan residence in this city after
February 15th. The friends, who are legion, with whom
The Advance joins, united in wishing them all that is
worth while in life - and happiness and prosperity in
the years to come as they tread life's pathways
together, sharing each other's joys and sorrows.
