Beach Boy Dies In France
Harley Salzman, member of Co. M of Beach Succumbs to Pneumonia after
Lingering Illness - - - First Death in Co. M
The sad news of the death of Harley
Salzman reached here yesterday, which occurred 'somewhere in France'
on January 25th. His parents, who are now visiting in Illinois heard
of his death three weeks later. We reprint below an item from the
Bloomington, (Ill.) Pantagraph giving all the particulars available:
'E. E. Salzman, formerly a resident of this city and well known
here, but now a resident of Beach, North Dakota, visiting with Jon
W. Enlow, west of town, has received a letter from France stating
that his son has died there in the service of the country. The news
comes in a letter from Ernest G. Hatch, a comrade of the boy who
died, who knew the father and wrote to him the news.
The letter
which bore the sad news was written three weeks ago. It stated that
Harley Salzman had been sick while at Camp Mills, Long Island,
before starting across, that he had never regained his strength and
when he had faced more exposure, was placed in a hospital where he
was given every care they could provide. But his strength was not
sufficient and he died on January 25. The father and mother had not
received as yet any word from the government about the death. Some
of the pages of the letter were torn out by the censor so that a
complete story of the last days of the boy could not be learned.
Harley Salzman lived in Carlock, Ill., until the age of nine years
when he went to Beach, N.D., with his parents, which place has been
his home ever since. Last July he enlisted in the National Guard,
Company M, of the 2nd Reg. In October he was sent to Camp Greene,
Charlotte, North Carolina, where the regiment was broken up and he
was put in the 164th ambulance train company, 166ar sanitary train
41st division of the Expeditionary forces. He was sent to Camp Mills
on Long Island where he first contracted his illness and where he
embarked. He arrived in France about the first of the year.
Mr.
and Mrs. Salzman had received only one letter from the lad and that
simply stated that he had arrived safely in France.

James Willard McNiece
The
entire community was shocked and bereaved to learn the sudden death
of Willard McNiece, son of Mathew McNiece living five miles
southwest of Beach. The little fellow seemed to be in good health up
to a few days before his death. He was taken with a sudden attack of
appendicitis and was taken to the hospital at Dickinson on the early
train last Saturday morning. His only chance for recovery was an
immediate operation and it was found that his appendix had busted
and a second operation was performed Saturday evening. Sunday
morning a change for the better was noticed and he wanted to be
taken home. He talked a great deal about his relatives and friends
and called for them. About noon Sunday he took a sudden change for
the worse and passed peacefully away at 4:10 that afternoon. He was
a very ambitious little fellow with great hopes for the future and
although he was prepared for death and realized that it was
approaching, he remarked several times that he would like to live a
while longer. It is all too sad that he could not be spared to a
world which so much needs living models of the nobler virtues. At
school and at home Willie was always cheerful and stood ready to
help others. He was a great favorite among his school mates.
His
parents and brother, John were by his death bed.
James Willard
McNiece was born Feb. 20, 1906 on the homestead in Montana, where
the family reside at the present time. He was, at the time of his
death, twelve years and eleven days old.

the state of New York on August 23, 1841, and died at his home in
Sentinel Butte on Tuesday morning, May 7, 1918, from a stroke of
paralysis, having been in poor health for several months.
Mr.
Chapman grew to manhood in the Empire state and enlisted on the

Miss Lillian Hodges in 1867, to which union 10 children were born.

in all his dealings, was always of an optimistic nature, and was

Frank Zeigweid Killed in Action
The official telegram announcing the death of Frank Zeigweid was received by Mrs. Zeigweid while at the switch board at Golva Thursday afternoon, saying that her son had been killed in action the 18th of July. Frank enlisted with the Bismarck company from Mandan last fall, and was very much interested in the war and anxious to get into action. He was young, being only 21 years old the 24th of August, and full of the ambition and energy that all of our American boys have. He came to Beach with his mother, two sisters and a small brother from Hebron, N.D. several years ago. The children attended school at this place and were well known and liked by the younger set. Two years ago the family went to Golva where Miss Emma Zeigweid has been teaching in one of the grades. Frank worked at that place for about a year.

After the ceremony the bride donned a blue traveling suit and the happy couple autoed to Sentinel Butte, where they caught No. 2 for Dickinson. They had intended to go to Bismarck and the cities but were compelled to return to Beach on account of unlooked for business (sic). Mrs. Cooper's home was in Minneapolis, having taught there for the past sixteen years in the primary department of the Lyndle school. She was highly respected in that place, and made warm friends who regretted having her leave them. Mr. Cooper's original home was in New York City and when first working traveled out of that city for a number of years. For the past fifteen years he has been ranching in Wyoming, but two years ago bought out the Callender Hotel in Beach. Since that time he has resided here and made friends. The couple have made friends among the young people here already and we are sure that many social evenings will be spent there with the younger set. Beautiful gifts were received by the couple, not only in showers for the bride, but since the ceremony. We join with the many friends in wishing them joy, prosperity and long life.

Erick Conrad Swing Died in Service
It is with a great deal of regret that The Advance is called upon this week to chronicle the death of Erick Conrad Swing, only son of Mr. and Mrs. Erick Swing of the Carlyle district, which took place at a hospital in Chicago, Sunday, September 29, the ailment being Spanish and lung fever. Mr. Swing was born in Thassela, Sweden, and came to this country with his parents when only two years of age, residing until eight years ago at Princeton, Minn., at which time the family moved to this country and have resided here since. He was 28 years of age at time of death. He was a young man of exemplary habits and prior to the time of his entering the service was deputy sheriff of Fallon country, which position he filled with honor to himself and the satisfaction of the people whom he served. Although of foreign birth he was the first one of the young men in the Carlyle district to offer his services to his country in the hour of need and entered the naval service at Baker, Mont., over a year ago. In the final farewell with his father the latter remarked that he never expected to see him again and, to which the young man replied: 'I have but one life to give, and it can be given in no better cause than the service of my country.' He was sent to the naval training station on the great lakes and recently the disease was contracted which resulted in his death and which is taking so many of our young men in the different cantonments of the United States at this time. The body was shipped to Carlyle where the funeral services were held on Friday afternoon of this week, from the U. B. church, under direction of the I.O.O.F., of which society he was a member. The deceased leaves his parents, three sisters and a host of friends to mourn his untimely death. Among the floral decorations upon the casket was a large gold star, which signified that death had come to the deceased while in the services of his country.

The Supreme Sacrifice Upon
Country's Altar
Four Deaths this Week Among the Soldier Boys who
Entered the Service from Golden Valley County
It is seldom that a newspaper is called upon to perform the task of writing the Obituary notice of four boys in one week who have made the supreme sacrifice upon the altar of their country, yet this is the duty assigned to us this week. Words cannot convey the deep debt of gratitude the people of this community owe to the young men who have made this sacrifice, or the respect in which their memories will be held in the coming years. At each Decoration Day it will be our privilege to decorate their graves with flowers, and in the presence of the dead to reconsecrate our lives to those principles which made bloodshed and battle since our forefathers at Valley Forge waged battle against the father land. The funerals of Russell O. Hubble and John Larsen, the later of Golva, were held in Beach today, and in both cases a military burial was given. In the case of George H. Kuhn we have only the telegraph announcement of death in action, and a fitting memorial service to his memory will be held at such time as public gatherings are again permitted. In the mean time his body will rest under the sunny sun of France, perchance amid the carnage of battle in which he had played an important part in times past.
George H. Kuhn
The
announcement of the death of George H. Kuhn, son of Mr. and Mrs.
Henry Kuhn, who live north of town, was received this week, and
announced the death in action on August 21st, 1918. George Kuhn was
among the first to enlist in Company M, Second North Dakota, at the
time a call was made for the organization of a company at Beach last
year, and at the time of death he was employed in the medical
department of the government service in France. It will be
remembered that Company M was transferred from the infantry to the
ambulance branch of the service upon arrival at Camp Green, N.C.,
and it was in this service that he met his death. No particulars are
given, but to have met death in action signifies that it was in his
ministration to the wounded upon the field of battle amid the awful
rain of shot and shell of deadly conflict that the message came.
George H. Kuhn was born at Agnes, Grand Forks county, N.D., March
2nd, 1893, and was, therefore, 25 years of age at time of death. He
leaves a father, mother, two sisters and one brother to mourn his
loss. He came to Golden Valley county eleven hears ago with his
parents, and during his parents, and during this residence here has
endeared himself to his many acquaintances by those sterling
qualities of manhood of which he was so abundantly possessed.
Russell O. Hubble
The death
of Russell O. Hubble is particularly pathetic. He answered the call
of his country just two weeks ago last Thursday, and almost
immediately upon entering Camp Custer, Mich., he was stricken with
the Spanish influenza, death coming to his relief at 7:15, Tuesday
morning, October 8th. Russell O. Hubble is the second son of Mr. and
Mrs. J. W. Hubble and was born in Greenwood, Wis., March 24th, 1890,
which makes him 28 years of age last March. He came to North Dakota
and this section of the state in 1905, and during his residence here
has made for himself many warm friends. He was married January 7th,
1918, to Miss Freda Fingle, who, together with his parents, five
brothers and one sister, are left to mourn his untimely death. Two
of these brothers are now serving in the United States army in
France. The body was returned to Beach, Friday, for burial and
during the afternoon it was laid in its final resting place with
military honors. To the bereaved wife and parents the sympathy of
the community is extended.
John Larsen
The third death
of those in the military service this week is that of John Larsen,
which took place at Camp Grant, Ill., October 6th, of lobar
pneumonia. This soldier is the son of Mr. and Mrs. M. L. Larsen of
Golva. He was born in Jackson county, Minnesota, and came to this
country four years ago, where he has won for himself a proud
reputation as a young man of integrity and sobriety. Besides his
parents he leaves four brothers, Christian, of Clay county,
Minnesota, Rasmus, of Valley City, N.D., Lewis and Knute of this
vicinity, besides his many friends, to mourn his loss. The body was
returned to Beach for interment and on Friday afternoon it was
conveyed to the silent city of the dead under military escort, and a
short open air service conducted at the grave by Rev. Tjornhom.
Relatives from Moorhead, Minn., Nebraska and other places were
present. At both of these funerals the Home Guards of Beach
furnished an escort of honor and at the conclusion of services at
the grave fired the salute of honor of three volleys and the
sounding of 'taps' on the bugle. In each of these cases the young
men have made the supreme sacrifice to their country's call and
while words cannot express the respect and reverence in which their
memory is held by the community, yet we can see to it that the
sacrifice they have made shall not have been in vain, but that 'a
government of the people, by the people and for the people' shall be
handed down to future generations unfettered by the mailed fist of
autocracy.
Joe Froeling
Word was
received recently that Joe Froeling died Monday Oct. 7th at Camp
Grant of influenza. Mr. Froeling left for Camp Grant the first of
Sept. and word of his death was a surprise to his many friends and
relatives. Previous to the time he left for camp he was manager of
the Beach Co-Operative store at Golva, and before that he worked in
the store at Beach for five months, so that he was well known around
Beach and Golva and had many friends. They will be sorry to learn of
his sudden death. He was only 26 years of age. His people live at
Watkins, Minn. which was his home before coming to Beach.
October 11th, 1918
Catherine McCarthy Died Thursday
The sudden death of Miss Catherine McCarthy occurred at her home Thursday morning at 6 a.m. She had been sick for the past week with a cold, and they thought perhaps she might have Spanish influenza. A nurse was called and everything that loving kindness could do was done for her. She was born in St. Paul and lived there with her parents for a number of years, afterward moving to Belle Plane, Minn., where she finished her high school course at the age of 18 years. From there she went directly to the Valley City Normal, where she graduated with honors and came to Beach and accepted a position in the Beach school where she taught for four years. Her folks had moved out here while Catherine was at Normal. Last summer she decided upon taking a business course, and went to the Glove Business College, in St. Paul, and finished her course only a few weeks ago. Upon her return to Beach she accepted a position as stenographer for the Keohane Abstract Co., and it was while at this work that she was taken sick. She leaves to mourn her loss, a father and mother, and three brothers and two sisters. John is at Homestead and is now only recovering from the pneumonia, which proved so fatal to Catherine, and could not attend the funeral, Mary Margaret, Martin and Michael are still at home. We wish to extend our sympathy to the bereaved family in their hour of sorrow.
October 11th, 1918
Arnie Flor
The death of Arnie Flor took place in the Glendive hospital at 11:30, Wednesday evening. The cause of his death was stated in last weeks paper which was the accidental shooting of a gun in the Warner yard, the bullet of which hit him. Although Mr. Flor was section boss at Beach and made his home at this place for the past two years, with the Crossman family, he has no relatives here, they being in Norway, where he came from here. He has a cousin in Forsyth, Mont. and it was there that the body was shipped to, and buried Thursday afternoon. Mr. Flor was well like here and his many friends will feel bad over the news of his death.
October 11th, 1918
Kees Baby
The death of W. C.
Kees little baby occurred at Ollie, Mont. Friday morning as a result
of Spanish Influenza. Both Mr. and Mrs. Keeys (sic) were sick
yesterday with the flu, and it proved too much for the baby. Mr.
Kees is cashier of the bank at Ollie, and altho I could not learn
just how long they have been at that place, they seemed to have made
warm friends, who are helping them in their hour of sorrow. Mr.
Brastrup went to Ollie Friday morning to attend to the case, and the
funeral will probably be then or not later than Saturday. It is to
be hoped that the parents recover from the awful plague soon. We do
indeed extend our sympathy to the parents who are sick and have lost
the shining light of their home.

Bennie started to town with a load of grain, and the hired man and another son went to town also with a load. His father had gone in ahead with the car. In some manner Bennie fell off his load and was run over. The other team came up to him and his brother and the man tried to have him ride to town on the load of grain, but the pain was too great.

Greer - Ebert
The marriage of Miss Helen Greer and Mr. Lewis Ebert occurred at the Methodist parsonage Tuesday, at one o'clock, the ceremony being performed by Rev. Thatcher. The bride was dressed in a dark blue taffeta, with georgette crepe sleeves, while the groom was dressed in black. The wedding was a very quiet affair and undoubtedly will be a surprise to the majority of their friends. The couple are from Fallon, Mont., and only came to Beach for the day, returning home of No. 3 the same day. Both people are numbered among the prosperous ranchers of Montana and will continue to make their home out of Fallon on one of their ranches. The groom worked in Beach a number of years ago and it will be an agreeable surprise to his many friends here to learn of the new step he has taken in life. We wish them luck.

The Price of Peace And World
Democracy
This Section of the Country Paying Its Share, Both in
Lives and Treasures
Walter and R. E. Johnson
During the past few weeks the awful cost of war and what France and England must have suffered, has been brought home to the people of this section of the country with telling force by the frequent arrivals of the remains of some young man who died in camp in the United States, or the announcement from the war department that some of the boys 'over there' had been killed or wounded. A particularly sad case is the double death which has entered the home of Mr. and Mrs. G. E. Johnson of the Ollie district, and took from them their only children. Walter and R. E. Johnson had been very anxious to enter the service and at the first opportunity signed up, entraining for Camp Custer last July. They had repeatedly expressed the hope to their parents that it would be their good fortune to see service in France, and in this they were heartily supported and encouraged by the old folks, who wanted the boys to feel they had had a definite part in the establishment of a lasting peace. In seemed, however, this was not to be, for about a week ago the parents were called to Camp Custer on account of the illness of their sons with Spanish influenza. Upon arrival they found the oldest boy had passed away and the other dangerously ill. Every courtesy was extended to them while at the camp hospital and everything possible in human effort and skill was done to save the remaining life, but it proved of no avail and he died a day or two later. On the return of the parents to Beach they were accompanied by the flag draped caskets of their two sons and only children. The boys were born at Waseca, Wis., where they grew to manhood and received their education. They came west with their parents about six years ago and settled with them on a farm in North Dakota near Ollie, where they made many warm friends by their sterling qualities and upright dealings. They were 23 and 24 years of age at time of death. The funeral took place at Ollie on Wednesday afternoon, interment being made in the cemetery at that palace. May they rest in peace. The sympathy of the entire community is extended to the doubly bereaved parents.
Ira Hubble Death
Mr. and
Mrs. J. W. Hubble will have ample cause to remember the German war,
for today they place the remains of their second son in its final
resting place in the silent city of the dead. Ira Hubble was 18
years of age last January and entered the service of the United
States some time last June. He was assigned to the medical corps
with a training station at Camp Ontario, New York, and was at that
place at time of death, which took place during the early part of
this week, from pneumonia. His body was sent to Beach under the
military escort of Corporal Stewart, arriving Friday morning, and
the funeral was held during the forenoon. A very impressive military
funeral was accorded the deceased and Rev. Thatcher conducted a
short open air service at the grave. Only about two weeks ago Mr.
and Mrs. Hubble were called upon to bury their son Russell, who was
also in the military service, and this second death following so
soon make their bereavement especially heavy. To them is extended
the sympathy of the entire community.
Everett Gilbert Death
A
telegram was received Monday by Grandma Gilbert, announcing the
death of her nephew, Everett Gilbert, only son of Mr. and Mrs. Harry
Gilbert of Sentinel Butte, which took place at the military camp at
Grand Forks, of Spanish influenza, last Monday morning. Young
Gilbert entered the service early in September and on entering the
camp at Grand Forks was assigned as one of the instructors in the
radio branch. His parents were notified of his illness and were with
him at time of death. Everett had been a resident of Sentinel Butte
for a number of years and had many warm personal friends among his
host of acquaintances. The remains were taken to Mandan, where the
funeral was held on Thursday forenoon, October 24th, with military
honors, conducted by Rev. Father Clemens, pastor of the Mandan
Catholic church, and remains laid at rest in the cemetery there.
Those from Sentinel Butte who attended besides his parents, were his
sister Pearl, and his aunt, Mrs. Albert Gilbert; also Ralph McKeown
accompanied the parents from Grand Forks to Mandan.
Miss Pearl Wheeler
No
greater sacrifice can be made than that she gave her life for other.
This community was deeply grieved Sunday afternoon at the
announcement of the death of Miss Pearl Wheeler, which took place at
about 4:30 o'clock, of Spanish influenza. In the fullness of her
desire to minister to the needs of her companions she availed
herself of every opportunity to nurse her friends who were suffering
with the 'flu,' and her overtaxed condition made her a ready prey
for the disease. One had only to listen to the general remarks,
heard on every side, of approbation, love and esteem of Miss
Wheeler, to gain a fair estimate of how much she was respected and
admired in this city. He many friends here extend to the bereaved
parents their heartfelt sympathy. Miss Pearl Wheeler was born in
Hillsburg, Ont., Feb. 13th, 1889. In August, 1895, she moved with
the family to Hawley, Minn., where she graduated from the high
school. She entered the employ of the Northwestern Telephone Company
at Hawley in April, 1907, and was there five years. In 1912 she
moved to Detroit, Minn., and spent three years in the employ of the
same company. She then came to Beach, North Dakota, and on October
15, 1915, she entered the employ of the Golden Valley Telephone
Company. She was eleven years in the telephone service, working in
three cities. She was a faithful employee and was loved by all in
the telephone service and the local telephone service was closed
from 7:15 to 8 p.m. Tuesday. She passed away at 4:50 p.m. Sunday,
October 20, 1918. The father, mother, five brothers and two sisters
live to mourn the loss of a daughter and sister. The pall bearers
were from the local Masonic lodge and the honorary escort from the
morgue to the depot were the employees of the local telephone
company and near friends. The pastor of the Methodist church was at
her bedside just before she passed away and she expressed her
confidence in God and had no fear of death. A short service was
conducted at the depot by Rev. Thatcher, assisted by Rev. Bosworth.
Miss Wheeler was a girl of sterling character and we morn her loss
from our midst.
Death of Mrs. French
Mrs. J.
E. Herrick returned to Beach Tuesday morning, accompanied by the
remains of her daughter, Mrs. Florence French. Mrs. Herrick was
called to Pompey Pillar last Friday by the serious illness of her
daughter, who had been taken a couple of days previously with
pneumonia. She died Saturday evening at the home of her
father-in-law. She was on her way back to Beach from the west and
was making a few stops on her way home when she was taken suddenly
ill at Pompey Pillar. In August she had been called to her sisters,
Mrs. N. D. Read, on account of illness in that family and up until a
week ago had been helping her sister at that place. Florence Herrick
was born at Abercrombie, N.D., where she grew to womanhood and
finished her education in that vicinity. Later they moved to St.
Cloud and in the year of 1909 moved to a farm near Beach and since
then have lived here. Mrs. French is the owner of land, having taken
a half section two years ago last August. The first of last June she
married S. M. French and they lived in the Trotters vicinity, where
their land is located, until he was called to the colors the 22nd of
July. He was sent to Camp Custer and has only recently recovered
from an attack of influenza. He was notified by wire of the death of
his wife and arrived on No. 1 Thursday morning. Mrs. French leaves
to mourn her death, her husband, S. M. French, her parents, three
sisters, Mrs. Pearl Edwards of Trotters, Mrs. N. D. Reed of Deer
Lodge, Mont., and Miss Ruth Herrick of Trotters, and three brothers,
Howard and Ben of Trotters, and William in active service in France.

sympathy to the bereaved husband and relatives.

Beach Pays Heavy Toll To Spanish
Influenza
Verily Death is Stalking Up and Down Seeking Whom it
May Devour
The death rate in Beach this week is larger than heretofore and the majority of them have been caused by the Spanish influenza. However, Beach has been very fortunate in comparison with other towns, for the reason that stringent measures were taken here to prevent the spread of the disease in time. Doctors and everyone that can possibly be of any assistance, are doing their best to help the needs of the people. Following are the deaths:
Baby Hust and Mother
On the
23rd of October the little month old baby Hust died, north of
Sentinel Butte, of pneumonia. Everything was done for the little one
that could be, but the parents lived some distance north of town and
it was very hard to get either a doctor or nurse. They buried the
baby at the Sentinel Butte cemetery on the 25th and the next day the
mother, Mrs. Carl Hust, died of the same disease and placed at rest
beside her child. The only one left is the father. Both were first
attacked with influenza, which developed into pneumonia.
Henry Plumley
Hernry
Plumley, aged 86 years passed away at his home, eight miles south of
Medora, Thursday night, having been afflicted for some time with
cancer of the stomach. Deceased came here from Wisconsin about six
years ago and settled on a homestead, where with his family he has
made his home since that time. A wife and six children are left to
mourn his demise, Earl Plumley and Mrs. J. M. Hellickson of Medora,
John Plumley of Beach, Mrs. John Casey of Miles City, and two sons
who reside in Wisconsin. The remains will be shipped to the old home
in Wisconsin, where funeral services will be held. - Billings County
Herald
Paul R. Graham
The death of
Paul R. Graham, formerly of Fargo, occurred Sunday evening at
Bismarck, after an illness of a week. He lived in Fargo until about
three years ago, when he went to Bismarck to work in the First
National Bank. Two weeks ago he left Bismarck for Beach, to assume
the management of the J. R. Waters farm loan investment business,
but was here only a few days when he contracted influenza. Mr.
Graham was a violinist of great skill and was well known in musical
circles in Bismarck and Fargo. He made his home with his mother,
Mrs. Samuel Graham. The young man's father Samuel Graham of Fargo,
left Sunday for Bismarck. Paul Graham attended the Fargo high school
and Fargo College, and was also a student at the Fargo conservatory
of music, and during the last year of his residence there he was a
teacher of the violin at the conservatory.
Peter Malliner
Peter
Malliner, a young man 27 years of age, who was employed on the Fred
Buck farm this fall, contracted pneumonia which caused his death on
the 25th of October. He was buried the day following at the Catholic
cemetery and the short service held was officiated at by Fr. Hake.
The young man was born and raised in Malvin, Minn., and received his
education at that place. About two years ago he offered his services
to his country and served in the capacity of gunner on one of the
ships used to transport U.S. troops to France, and is said to have
made the first trip to England on the 'Vaterland' after it was taken
over by the United States and fitted for transport work. Some six
months ago he received an honorable discharge from the service on
account of his eyes. He worked at various things in the east and
then came west and was employed at Bucks. He leaves to mourn his
loss, his parents at Malvin, three sisters, Mrs. A.R. Farnum of
Sentinel Butte, who attended the funeral, Mrs. Lizzie Heiger of
Malvin, and Mrs. Mable Cobbler of Canada, and four brothers, Frank,
Tony, Joy and Martholomew.
Mrs. Malin Stecker
The sad
and sudden death of Mrs. Malin Stecker occurred at her home north of
Beach, last Wednesday morning. Mrs. Stecker contracted the 'flu' and
pneumonia set in almost immediately, making her a quick victim to
the disease. Her husband and little four-year-old son also
contracted the disease, but escaped from pneumonia. The best of care
was given Mrs. Stecker by kind relatives and friends, but without
avail. She was born and raised in Henning, Minn., where she grew to
womanhood. Henning was her home until nine years ago when she came
west and married Malin Stecker. Only one child blessed this union.
She was 31 years of age at time of death. The funeral services were
held in the Beach cemetery Thursday morning, Rev. Thatcher
officiating, and only the immediate friends and relatives were
present. She leaves to mourn her loss, a husband and little son on
the farm north of here, her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Wait of
Hemming, Minn., Mrs. Rose Wagner of Spokane, Wash., Mrs. John
Rasburn, also of Spokane, Mrs. Monty Curtis, Edith Millan and Mrs.

presence among them.
Miss Dora Eslick
Word came
to Beach, Thursday morning of the sudden death of Miss Dora Eslick,
of Belfield, who is well known among the Beach people and who made
many warm friends while working in the telephone office in this
city. She had been under the doctor's care for several days, but
nothing seemed the trouble, simply a weak heart. She retired
Wednesday night in apparently her usual health and Thursday morning
when her people went to call her, found her dead in bed, having
expired some time during the night, and very probably was sleeping
when death overtook her. She was born and raised in Belfield, and
first worked in the telephone business at that place. Later she
worked in Bismarck, Dickinson and last in Beach. She was compelled
to resign her position and go home last summer on account of poor
health. The funeral services were held at the cemetery in Belfield,
Friday morning at 12 o'clock. Rev. S. J. Swanson having charge of
the services. She leaves to mourn her loss a father, James Eslick,
two sisters Helda Eslick and Mrs. Ted Barrows, all of Belfield.
Rosella Trollope
The death
of Mrs. Rosella Trollope, 23 years of age, occurred at her home on
the farm in the Trotters vicinity, last Wednesday. She had a slight
case of the 'flu' and other complications which caused her death. At
this writing we have been unable to learn where she was buried, but
it was probably in the Trotters district, Thursday. She leaves to
mourn her loss her husband, who is also very sick, and two small
children, Ruth and Howard, both under five years of age.
Father Wolphers
J. J.
Bartley received a telephone call from Dickinson, Thursday, saying
that Father Wolphers of that place, had died early Thursday morning
of influenza. Father Wolphers came to Beach in the year 1910 from
Mandan, where he had previously officiated as priest of the Catholic
church. He had change of the Beach church until last June, when he
was called to Dickinson, Father Hake supplying the vacancy here.
Father Wolphers was a native of Germany and received much of his
education in that country before coming to America, but completed
his education here. He was a very learned man and up to the time of
his death was an ambitious student. He died at the age of 48 years.
No particulars as to the arrangements for the funeral are available
at time of going to press. He leaves one brother in Red Wing, Minn.,
to mourn his demise, besides his host of friends in Beach and
vicinity.

November 1st, 1918
Mrs. Nick Smith received a message Tuesday evening from Omaha, Neb., announcing the death of her sister from an attack of the 'flu'.
November 8th, 1918
Influenza Situation Greatly
Improved
Frequency of Attack Is Less and Cases Seem to Be Less
Violent
Again this week we are compelled to report a number of influenza cases, of which death has claimed its share. We can take courage, however, as the number is not so great this week, and then an old time winter has set in and that is said to be an enemy of the 'flu'.
George Sperry
The death of
George Sperry occurred at his home in the Trotters country, November
3rd. He was a farmer at that place, where he owned and operated a
homestead. He was born in Wisconsin in 1878 and grew to manhood at
that place. His schooling and associates were made there and it was
his home up till a few years ago, when he came west to try and make
a start in life for himself. The funeral was held at Trotters and
the remains were laid at rest in that vicinity. He leaves to mourn
his loss his parents, Mr. and Mrs. George Sperry, a wife and several
sisters and brothers.
Eddie Killian
Mrs. Edward
Corn was called to Beach from Lambert, Mont., on account of the
serious illness of her brother Eddie, who lives in the south country
and who was a victim of the influenza. The death is doubly hard for
Mrs. Corn as it was only three weeks ago that Eddie Killian went to
Lambert to help his sister in her hour of sorrow, the death of her
husband, at which time Eddie was perfectly well. Only a short time
after his return home he was taken ill and died November 1st, and
was buried in the Burkey cemetery the following day. Eddie Killian
was born at White Hall, Wis., in 1888, where he lived until six
years ago, when he came west to try farming. His parents and a
married sister lived here and Eddie made his home with the later. He
was a bright young man and would have been twenty years of age the
13th of this month. He leaves to mourn his early demise, his
parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Killian, four sisters, Lizzie and Stella
Sonsallago, Golva, Mrs. Patrinella Corn and Mrs. Frances Klimek,
both of Lambert, Mont., and three brothers, Joe, Steve and George,
all of Golva. The sympathy of the community is extended to the
bereaved family.
Mrs. Andrew Detta
The death
of Mrs. Andrew Detta occurred at their farm south of Beach,
Wednesday. She had been wiling for some time past and the cause of
her death was consumption. She leaves to mourn her loss, her husband
and several children. We are sorry that we have been unable to
obtain further information in regard to this death.
Mrs. J. W. Gowers
A wave of
sadness went over our community Tuesday afternoon, when it was
learned that Mrs. J. W. Gowers had passed away. Mrs. Gowers had been
suffering from an attack of the influenza and seemed to be on the
road to recovery until Friday last, when pneumonia developed. From
that time on she grew rapidly worse, and in spite of skilled nursing
and careful medical attention, the end came. Mrs. Gowers, nee Emily
Johnson, was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Johnson. She came to
the Golden Valley with her parents several years ago from Sioux
Falls, S.D. where she spent her childhood and received her
education. In 1910 she graduated from the nurse's training school of
the Hinsdale Sanitarium, Hinsdale, Ill., and since that time resided
with her parents at their home west of Golva, until January last,
when she was united in marriage with James W. Gowers. When the
present epidemic of influenza first struck Beach, the deceased
bravely offered her services as nurse, and it was in the discharge
of her personal duties that she contracted the disease which cost
her life. She is worthy of all praise and honor, for like our
soldiers who are daily offering 'the great measure of devotion,' she
gave her life that others might live. Besides her husband and
parents, she leaves four brothers, Will, George, Samuel and Joseph,
and one sister, Evelyn, to mourn the loss of a gentle and
affectionate sister, wife and daughter, and host of friends who
grieve that a life so full of promise should be so brief. Short
consolation services were held at the home at 10:00 o'clock Friday.
The funeral services will be held Saturday at 12 o'clock at the
Beach cemetery. A brother and wife will arrive from Battle Creek,
Mich., to attend the last sad rites. The sympathy of the entire
community goes out to the bereaved husband and relatives in this
hour of sorrow and loss.
Death of Charles Weid
Charles Weid was born at Bank Lick, Kenton county, Kentucky, on July
4 , 1882, and passed away at his home in Beach, November 2, 1918, at
7 o'clock a.m., making him a little over 36 years of age at time of
death. He had suffered for the past two years with diabetes, which,
taken with the influenza, caused his death. Mr. Weid spent the
greater part of his life in Indiana, and was for three years a
member of the Indiana state militia. He was in Cuba during the
Spanish-American war, was troop trumpeter of the Fifth Cavalry
during the Pekin relief expedition and after that saw three years of
service in the Philippine Islands. Throughout his military
experience Mr. Weid served with distinction. When his country became
involved in the present great conflict, Mr. Weid was again ambitious
to take his place among the fighting forces, but ill health would
not permit. With his family he moved to Beach in 1909 and shortly
after his arrival located on a homestead near Sentinel Butte. A few
years later he returned to Beach and remained here until his death.
During the past four years Mr. Weid has been engaged in the railway
postal service. He was married to Miss Florence Pratt of

Death Rate Not Abated
Spanish
Influenza no Respecter of Persons
Rudolph Thompson passed away Saturday. Mr. and Mrs. Schulke both died the same day. George C. Abrams died at Camp Lewis.
Rudolph Benjamin Thompson
The death of Rudolph Thompson occurred at his home in Beach,
Saturday afternoon. He had been sick for about three weeks, having
contracted the influenza, which developed into pneumonia. It was
thought at one time that the disease was conquered, and the nurse
and doctor worked hard to keep the lungs clear and help him gain
strength, but it was impossible to save him. Rudolph was the
youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. River Thompson, and was born May 31,
1888, on the old homestead near Blair, Wis., making him 30 years, 5
months and 9 days old at time of death. At the age of four years he
moved with the family to Blair, where he attended the public
schools, finishing the grades and three and one- half years of high
school work. He completed a course at the Dixon, Illinois, business
college. In the spring of 1907, together with the family, he came to
Beach, and settled on a farm one mile south of town. Here he
remained three years when he became a partner in the lumber business
with his father and brother Albert. He was united in marriage to
Miss Minniella B. Holven in May 1911, and with the exception of a
few months each year in California, have made Beach their home. To
this union one child was born, Earl Ralph Thompson, who is about
four years of age. Besides his wife and child, he leaves to mourn
his loss a father, who lives at Long Beach, Cal., and the following
brothers and sisters: Charles L. of Grafton, N. D., Mrs. Thea R.
Anderson, recently of Golva, Mrs. R. Thompson, of Blair, Wis.,
Harvey R., of Beach, Mrs. J. O. Knutson, of Blair, and Albert R., of
Beach. His remains were laid at rest in the Lutheran cemetery
Wednesday afternoon, the business houses of the city closing during
the services as a mark of the respect and esteem in which deceased
was held. Beach has indeed incurred a deep loss in the death of Mr.
Thompson, and the absence in our midst of so congenial and honorable
a man he proved himself to be will be long felt. The most sincere
sympathy of the entire community is extended to the loved ones of
the deceased.
Mr. and Mrs. Ed Schulte
The
deaths of Ed Schulte and his wife took place last Wednesday evening
at four o'clock. Both had contracted the flu and were very sick when
pneumonia set in and both died. They were young people and had only
been married since last July. The farm on which they lived was near
that of their parents, and they were getting along nicely when this
disease, which is so prevalent, overtook them. At the time of their
illness her brother Lawrence had passed away with the flu and was
buried in the Burkey cemetery in the morning and their deaths
occurred in the afternoon of the same day. They were laid to rest at
the same time by Father Lack in the Burkey cemetery. Besides their
parents they leave a number of brothers and sisters to mourn their
loss.

George C.
Abrams was born August 7, 1896, at Hudson, Ill., and in 1909, in
company with his parents, removed to Carlyle, Mont., where he
resided until he was called to the service of his country. He left
Wibaux for Camp Lewis, September 6, 1918. On September 23rd, he was
stricken with paralysis and departed this life November 5th, at the
age of 22 years, two months and 29 days. On July 24, 1918, he was
united in marriage to Miss Olive Stark of Ollie, Mont. His wife and
parents were called to Camp Lewis in the early part of his illness
and his wife remained at his beside until the end came. His remains
arrived at Ollie, November 10th and November 11th the funeral
services for him as well as memorial services for his brother, Harry
Abrams, who died in a hospital in France, September 20th, from a
wound received while fighting for his country, were held, under the
auspices of the Odd Fellows, of which both were members, George
having joined the lodge at Ollie, December 17, 1917. Rev. Bovee
spoke words of comfort and consolation and the remains were laid to
rest in the Ollie cemetery. George was a genial, noble and useful
young man, who numbered his friends by this acquaintances. The large
concourse of sympathizing friends and the many beautiful floral
offerings bespoke the high esteem in which the family is held.
Besides his wife, parents, brothers, sisters and other relative, he
leaves a host of friends to mourn his loss. The family have the
sympathy of the whole community in their double loss.
E. R. Farnum
The death of E.
R. Fanum occurred at the home of his parents, south of Beach, last

address. When they arrived here they moved at once to the Hall
ranch, where they lived until last fall. This summer he enlisted and

Second Epidemic Claims Larger Death
Rate
Prominent Beach Woman died Wednesday. Sentinel Butte also
lost an esteemed Woman
Mrs. G. D. Lovell
A gloom
was cast over the entire community Wednesday forenoon when it was
learned that Mrs. Guy D. Lovell had succumbed to pneumonia,
following the Spanish influenza, the struggle for life ending at
about 10 o'clock. Something like a week before both Mr. and Mrs.
Lovell and two children were stricken with the dread epidemic, but
in the case of Mrs. Lovell was followed by pneumonia and she became
a victim to the disease. Mrs. Lovell is one of the pioneers of this
city and is known throughout the entire community. Prominent in
church and lodge work, every ready to lend a helping hand in case of
need, and her genial and loveable disposition made her friends
number with her acquaintances. Her husband will mourn the loss of a
faithful and accomplished wife, the children a fond and loving
mother and the community one of its most estimable and popular
citizens. The funeral was conducted from the residence Friday
afternoon and was under the auspices of the Eastern Star, of which
order she was an honored member, the local Masonic body officiating
as escort. The most sincere sympathy of the community is extended to
the bereaved husband and motherless children.
Ralph Kenneth Purvis
Death
from the dreaded epidemic, Spanish influenza, has taken another
Golden Valley county boy, also in the service. The brave young
soldier, only twenty years of age, volunteered his services in
behalf of his country and outraged humanity, went to Miles City for
examination, but was rejected on account of not being of sufficient
weight for his height, and consequently not strong enough to
withstand the hardships of war. but undaunted by this the young man
with the courage born of youth, went to St. Paul, where he passed a
satisfactory examination October 23rd, and joined the marines to
leave for training camp November 19th. On that date he was called
home on account of the serious illness of his mother and contracted
the disease while on the journey home, and was not feeling at all
well when he returned to St. Paul, but always conscientious in
regard to his duties, he was determined to go back to headquarters
to report. After returning to the city his condition rapidly grew
worse. His father started for St. Paul as soon as he received the
telegram, but was unable to see Ralph alive, as the message was not
sent in time. The mother, brother and grandfather were all sick at
the time of his death and were unable to attend the funeral. Ralph
Kenneth Purvis was born June 26th, 1896, at St. Cloud, Minn., and
came with his parents to the Golden Valley in the spring of 1904,
where he resided until called to the service. Died at St. Paul,
Minn., December 1, 1918. He was educated in the rural schools and
did one year of school work at the Beach High school, then deciding
upon a business career he attended business college at LaCrosse,
Wis. He worked for some time on The Advance and by his genial and
obliging manner made many friends, as he also did in school and with
whoever he became acquainted with. He leaves to mourn his loss his
parents, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Purvis, one brother, grand parents,
aunt and uncle and Mr. and Mrs. Rube Clark, of Hodges, Mont., aunt
and uncle Mr. and Mrs. Mason Vanderhoof, of Belle Prairie, Mont.,
sister-in-law, Mrs. Charles Purvis, Jr., and cousins from Belle
Prairie, Mont., Mr. and Mrs. John Harpster. The remains were brought
home Tuesday on No. 3, the funeral services being held Thursday at 2
p.m. Interment was made at the Beach cemetery, the ceremony at the
grave concluding with military honors. The sympathy of the entire
community goes out to the bereaved parents in the loss of their
soldier son who had been away so short a time before being stricken
with the epidemic.
Mrs. Jameson
The sad news of
the death of Mrs. A. J. Jameson was given out Monday afternoon,
caused by influenza, followed by double pneumonia. On Friday the
family took down with the flu, including Mrs. Jameson, daughter Mrs.
Mande Brewer, and little son Gerald, and they were supposed to be
getting along well. But a turn came for Mrs. Jameson on Saturday
night and pneumonia immediately set in. Everything in the world was
done to save her life, but her constitution was too weak to stand
the complications. Elizabeth Agnes Mitchell was born at Orangeville,
Ontario, December 31, 1865. She lived there for a number of years
when she moved to West Virginia, where she was united in marriage to
Dr. A. J. Jameson. To this union one daughter was born, Mrs. Mande
Brewer. From West Virginia the family moved to Wheatland, this
state,. where they resided until three years ago when they moved to
Sentinel Butte. Besides the family she leaves to mourn their loss,
three sisters, Mrs. J. H. Nesbitt of Hunter, this state, Mrs. Robert
Richardson and Mrs. George Rozell of Ontario, Canada. Mrs. Jameson
was a woman of sterling character and worth, and was beloved by a
host of friends who will greatly miss her. She was a good wife and
kind and loving mother, which altogether, made her one of our best
citizens. The sympathy of everyone goes out to Dr. Jameson at this
time. At the time of going to press his daughter, Mrs. Brewer, is
very ill, his wife dying and that coupled with the fact that he has
been very busy day and night with flu patients for the past two
months to such an extent that he was completely worn out when his
family took down, but he has stood the calamity with a fortitude
better than could have been expected. It has been absolutely
necessary for him to neglect some of his professional calls for a
few days, but no one can expect different. The funeral was held
Wednesday afternoon at the cemetery, conducted by Rev. Richter, with
members of the Odd Fellows lodge as pall bearers, and a number of
friends gathered to listen to the last sad funeral rites. - Sentinel

intended to spend a little while there with his parents and

hostilities, but he received a call much greater than that and was
ready for it. He was a very likeable young man. Clyde was born in

Death Angel Comes To Claim Many From Golden Valley Homes
The influenza epidemic seems to have held full sway over the Beach vicinity and surrounding country during the fore part of the week, but it is believed that the latter part of the week brings its good luck and that it is the beginning of the end of the third influenza wave which has gone across the country. We hope that the disease has claimed its last victim and that from now on we will have no more deaths to report.
Charles W. Purvis
We are
called upon to chronicle the death, which took place during the past
week, of one of this country's most prominent citizens, Charles W.
Purvis, who passed away on December 8th, 1918, at the age of 43
years and nineteen days. Mr. Purvis was born in the county of
Hendrick, state of Indiana, on November 19, 1875. During the year of
1879 his parents moved to St. Cloud, Minnesota, where he grew to
manhood. In 1896 he was united in marriage to Miss Effie M. Whitney,
this union being blessed with two sons, Charley A. Purvis and Ralph
K. Purvis. With his family he came to Golden Valley county in 1904,
and has since that time made this his home. Some few days ago he was
called to St. Paul by a message stating that his son, Ralph K.
Purvis, who had recently enlisted in the United States army, was
dangerously ill. Mr. Purvis arrived in St. Paul a few hours before
the death of his son, and the belief that he contracted the Spanish
influenza, which caused his death, while returning with the remains
of his son, only adds to the sorrow caused by the passing of this
good man. Charley Purvis was widely known throughout this territory.
He established an enviable reputation of high character, was ever
honorable, thoroughly upright and held in highest esteem by his
every acquaintance. Always of a jovial and generous disposition, he
never lacked in friendships and no friend ever found him wanting.
During his life he was successful in providing a pleasant and
comfortable home, not only for his immediate family, but for his
aged parents, who occupied their home on the same farm. Truly this
community suffers a distinct loss in the untimely death of Charley
Purvis, and this paper wishes to convey the death sympathy of many
friends to this sad family during this hour of grief.
Charles Cox
The unlooked for
death of Charles Cox took place at his parents' home last Tuesday at
twelve, midnight. The young man had been taken ill two weeks
previous to death, with the Spanish influenza, and although he had
been very sick, he seemed on the way to recovery when a turn was
taken for the worse. Charles was born in Bolo, Ill, in 1886, and
lived at that place until he was 21 years of age, when he came west
to Carlyle with his parents and where they lived for two years
before moving to the farm three miles southeast of Beach. He was an
active member of the Methodist church and will be greatly missed
from among them. The remains will be shipped Saturday to his old
home at Bolo, Ill, for burial. He leaves besides his parents, two
brothers here, Dart and Guy, and two sisters, Mrs. Claude Jones of
Phoenix, Arizona, and Mrs. W. M. Crossman of Bolo. The sympathy of
the community is extended to the bereaved.
Mabel Abrams
The very sad
death of Miss Mabel Abrams occurred at the home of her parents near

untimely death. She was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. M. Abrams,
and was born in Hudson, Ill., in the 1904. When they came west in
1909 and located south of Beach, Miss Mabel came with the family.
Her education was practically all gotten in the west. She was an
unusually bright girl and made the most of every opportunity
presented to her. She had a very likeable disposition and made
friends with whom ever she became acquainted. Since the loss of her
two brothers, Harry, who was killed on the 23rd of July in action in
France, and George, 20 years old, who died about a month ago a Camp
Lewis, Washington, she has tried to do her part in filling the gap
made and making the home cheerful. Besides her parents she leaves to
mourn her departure, two brothers, Charles and Will, both single,
and two sisters, Florence and Evelyn, all at home. The remains were
buried in the Carlyle cemetery Wednesday afternoon. Deepest sympathy
is extended to the parents and immediate family, who have lost three
from the home circle within the past five months.
