Mrs. Harry Cobleigh of Carlyle, Passes Away After a Short Illness
- - - - -
The Advance is this week called ed upon to chronicle a particularly sad
event in the death of Mrs. Harry Cobleigh of Carlyle, which took place at the
Beach hospital, Thursday morning, January 6, at 7:55 o’clock.
On Monday, December 27, Mrs. Cobleigh gave birth to a fine baby girl,
but a few days latter was attached by Peritonitis. She was at once brought to
the hospital at Beach and everything done known to medical science to save
life, but all proved useless and yesterday morning she passed to that great
unknown from which no traveler returns. The anxious husband and relatives
who sat tireless at her bedside, hoping almost against hope, have indeed the
sympathy of the community.
Mr. Cobleigh came to the Golden Valley three years ago this fall and
took a claim about five miles north of Carlyle, his wife joining him a years
later. During her stay here she taught two terms at the Burke school house
in the Lame Steer district and by her many acts of kindness and
thoughtfulness of others had won for herself a place in the hearts of her
neighbors and acquaintances seldom occupied in so short a time. She was a
member of the Catholic church and was ever ready to assist in any
movement for the up building of the community or to help a neighbor. Truly
the world is better for her having lived and her untimely death will cause
many to mourn.
She leaves besides her husband and daughter, a mother. Mrs. C. Murray
of Hammond, Minn., came to Beach who Tuesday and was with her
daughter at death, three brothers and six sisters, only one of whom are
located in this part of the country, Mrs. H. C. Larsen of the Lame Steer
district. To these sorrowing relatives is extended heartfelt sympathy.
Funeral services will be held Monday morning at 10:30 from the Catholic
church in this city and interment will be made in the Beach cemetery.

Account of the Marriage of Theodore Schweitzer and Miss Nelson in the
Home Paper
- - - - -
The Blue Earth County Enterprise, published at Mapleton, Minn., gives
the following account of the wedding of two young people now located at
Beach, says:
“At the spacious home of Mr. and Mrs. John Schweitzer, our genial
druggist, on Wednesday afternoon last, occurred the marriage of their son,
Theodore, and Miss Clara Nelson, of Lemon South Dakota. It was strictly a
home wedding, the guests being limited almost entirely to the immediate
relatives of the contracting parties. It was, however, a very pretty wedding.
The parlors were tastily decorated with roses and smilax while in the dining
room the color scheme was green and white.
At three o’clock while Mrs. Ed Ulrich, a sister of the groom, played the
wedding march, Mr. Schweitzer accompanied by Mr. James Cody, of
Northfield Minnesota, took their places under the festoons of roses and
smilax where they met the bride and her maid, Miss Leona Bond, also of
Lemon, South Dakota. The ladies were preceded by little Louise
Schweitzer, a niece of the groom, who carried the ring concealed in the heart
of a beautiful white rose. Father Stack, pastor of the local Catholic church,
assisted the young couple in plighting their vows and spoke the impressive
and solemn words which proclaimed them mad and wife, after which the
guests extended them sincere and hearty congratulations. Following the
ceremony a most bountiful and delicious four course dinner was served.
The bride was dressed in a beautiful creation of white satin mescaline
with pearl and gold trimmings and carried a bouquet of pink La France
roses. Her maid of honor wore a gown of light blue silk with Persian
trimmings and carried a bouquet of white carnations.
While Miss Nelson is a stranger in this vicinity, she is of very pleasing
appearance and during her short stay here can count all those she met among
her friends. She has been the competent and efficient bookkeeper and
stenographer in the First National bank at Lemmon, South Dakota, which
position she has just resigned. That she is a young woman of thrift and push
is evident from the fact that she went to Dakota and acquired on of that fair
state’s claims. The four young people, she and her husband, Miss Bond and
Mr. Cody, all having claims in the same vicinity.
Theodore Schweitzer is the second son of Mr. and Mrs. John Schweitzer,
a young man of excellent business judgment and who has been very
successful in his business pursuits. At the present time he hold a responsible
position in a large mercantile establishment at Beach, North Dakota, where
he and his bride will make their future home.

Several Marriages of Young People of Beach and Vicinity Recently
- - - - -
Francis James O’Rourke and Miss Bessie Gullickson rather fooled their
many Beach friends in regard to the time when they would be married. For
some time past circumstances pointed to the near approach of the time, but
on each occasion their friends were doomed to disappointment.
However, the interested parties finally took a hand at selecting the time
and last week Wednesday quietly slipped down to Belfield, where they were
married by Rev. K. Heilmier of the Catholic church of this city. After the
ceremony they left immediately for points in Wisconsin, where they are now
visiting.
Mr. O’Rourke came to the Golden Valley about four years ago and took a
claim northwest of town, where he has since lived. He is a progressive,
enterprising young man, enjoys a splendid reputation for honesty and
industry and has made a success of his operations since coming here.
Miss Gullickson operated a millinery establishment on Blanche street in
this city for some time after coming here, but also took a claim a few miles
northeast of Wibaux, which she has operated quite extensively. She is a lady
of many accomplishments, enterprising and progressive and will be a
helpmate indeed during the voyage of life.
Congratulations and best wishes for a long and happy life are extended by
their host of friends in the Golden Valley.
They will be home to friends after February 20.

The Father of J. R. Waters, Our Respected Townsman, Called Suddenly by
Death
- - - - -
George A. Waters, one of the well known citizens of this community,
died Sunday morning. Death came quickly. He had been in ill health for
some time past and on Sunday morning he arose at the usual hour and
proceeded to look after little duties around the house. He was stricken
suddenly and passed away before help could be summoned.
The funeral service was held from the house this afternoon at two
o’clock, conducted by Rev. Cleaver and was attended by the G.A.R. post and
the I.O.O.F. lodge of which orders he was a member, as well as by a large
number of old neighbors and friends.
The subject of this sketch, Mr. George A. Waters, was born at Ashtabula,
Ohio, June 13, 1837, and died at him home in Montezuma, Sunday morning,
April 3, 1910
. Mr. Waters was the last of four brothers and sisters, the
others having preceded him by several years. He spent his young manhood
in Ohio, where he married Miss Ellen Davidson. To this union two children
were born, James R. of Beach, N.D., and Minnie B. Stone of this place.
In 1871 he left his native state and settled on a farm near Montezuma,
where he had lived till growing infirmities made it wise to dispose of his
farm and settle in Montezuma.
He was one of the “Boys in Blue,” being enrolled in Company H, 171st
Ohio.
His end was peaceful and painless, at sunrise his soul took its flight. His
departure is mourned by his companion of many years, a son and daughter,
and a host of sorrowing friends who will miss his cheerful greeting and
hearty handshake. - Poweshiek County (Ia.) Palladium

Nappanee, Ind., from which city she, together with her husband and aged
parents came to beach, arriving here a few weeks ago, and about ten days
ago taking up their residence on the J. A. Taggart farm in the Lame Steer

A Healthy Black Haired Baby
- - - - -
Left to the Tender Care of a Bachelor - No Trace of Who Are its Parents
- - - - -
Last Monday morning about 4 o’clock Agaard Carlson, a bachelor who
lives some fourteen miles northeast of Beach, heard his dog making
considerable noise, but dropped off to sleep and did not waken again until
nearly 7 o'clock. Immediately after getting up he was attached to the door
by the cries of a baby and upon investigation found a nice black haired baby
girl on his doorstep, without other raiment than the shawl or blanket in
which it was wrapped up. He lost no time in procuring the assistance of a
lady of the neighborhood, who gave it every attention.
It is the opinion of those who saw it that the little Miss was not over
twenty-four hours of age when discovered by Mr. Carlson: Mr. and Mrs.
George Richardson heard of the affair and went out to Carlson's and took
the baby home with the intention of adopting it as their own. It will be
remembered that Mr. and Mrs. Richardson lost their only child, a little girl,
not long ago and the vacant place in their home they hope to fill by this little
one. The baby is strong and healthy in appearance and is reported to be
doing nicely.
So far as can be learned no trace of the inhuman parents has been found.

The many friends of George Sweet, both at Carlyle and Beach, were
pained and surprised Sunday to learn of his sudden and unexpected death,
which took place about 11 o'clock on Saturday night, June 11 caused by
spasmodic spasm of the heart.
For several days Mr. Sweet had not been feeling just right, but had kept
up most of the time and Friday and Saturday went upon several errands
among his neighbors and to the Carlyle store. In the early evening he told
his wife that he was not feeling as well as usual and went to bed. She done
what she could with the means at her command to make him comfortable
and in a short time he went to sleep. About 11 o'clock he made a peculiar
noise, raised his hands and expired without saying a word or regaining
consciousness.
George Sweet was born in Medina county, Ohio, December 12, 1845, and
was therefore 65 years and six months of age at time of death. He was
among the first to offer his services to his country when President Lincoln
called for volunteers and entered the army service in November, 1861, as a
private of Company B, 11th Regiment of Connecticut Volunteers and was
discharged on the 31st day of March, 1867, as private of Company M, 3rd
Regiment of U.S. Artillery, by reason of expiration of term of service.
He was married in February, 1873, to Miss Ella Dudley, at Ellington,
Conn., who survives him. In 1881 he moved to Illinois and resided there
until three years ago, when he moved to Carlyle, Mont., where he took a
claim and has since lived. He is also survived by two sons, Charles of
Colfax, Ill., and Clifford of Carlyle, and two daughters, Mrs. William
Abrams and Mrs. Hurt, also of Carlyle. He also has three brothers and one
sister living in Connecticut. His death was especially sad as this is the
second death in the family within four months.
Funeral services were held at the home yesterday morning, interment
being made in the cemetery at Beach. Pall bearers were Messrs. Slater,
Dilly, Hall, Carlock, Moore and Merritt, all neighbors.
Mrs. Sweet was a man who was much admired and greatly respected by
all who knew him. His cheerful manner, honesty of purpose and readiness
to lend a helping hand made him a warm, personal friend to a large number
in his community and his untimely death is sincerely regretted. It can truly
be said of Mr. Sweet that the world is better for his having lived. The
community extends sincere sympathy to Mrs. Sweet and the family in their
deep sorrow.

Mrs. W. E. Kugel Went Into the Last, Long Sleep Wednesday Morning
- - - - -
The Advance is called upon this week to chronicle a particulary sad
death, that of Mrs. W. E. Kugel, which took place Wednesday morning at
6:35, of typhoid fever.
Miss Elizabeth Kaminietz was married to W. E. Kugel on March 9 last, at
Napolean, N.D., and came to Beach only four short months ago a bride. The
panorama of the future looked bright and with cheerful hearts and willing
hands these young people started to prepare for the time when a competency
should have been layed away as a result of faithful labor and prudent
expenditure and home and each others company would be their joy in
declining years. But it was not to be. Five weeks ago last Sunday she was
forced to take to her bed, suffering from typhoid fever and although
everything human skill could suggest was done to battle with the disease, yet
it proved unavailing and death claimed her Wednesday morning.
Mrs. Kugel was 22 years of age at time of death and her untimely taking
away is doubly sad. The bereaved husband has been called upon to bury
both his father and mother and now, on the very threshold of his wedded
life, he places the mortal remains of his wife beside the final resting place of
his parents. Mrs. Kugel was one of seven children and her death is the first
in the family. During the latter part of her illness her mother was a constant
attendant at her bedside and was with her when the final summons came.
The surviving relatives have the sincere sympathy of the people of this
community in their heavy and sad bereavement. The body was shipped to
Napolean for interment.
Since coming to Beach Mr. Kugel has occupied a position in J. J.
Bartley's general store and he and his wife made their home with them.
May her ashes rest in peace.

Last week Miss Lydia Knutson went to Miles City, Mont., to make final
proof on her claim, but it was not given out that she would also make final
proof on a young man's heart and pruse (sic) at the same time. However,
such was the case and the happy couple are now receiving congratulations
from their many friends.
The ceremony was performed by Rev. Thorpe of the United Lutheran
church of this city, on Tuesday, June 28, that made Theodore Maanum and
Miss Lydia Knutson husband and wife. They returned to Beach last Friday
and will occupy their new home in Beach just as soon as it can be

two years ago, where he had accepted employment in the hardware store of
Overstad and Hoverson. Afterwards he was employed as bookkeeper at the
Golden Valley State Bank and when the First National Bank was organized
he was offered and accepted the position of cashier of the institution which
position he hat present occupies. He is a young man of good habits, high
ideals and industrious and has won the confidence and respect of all.
Miss Knutson came to Beach from Parker, S.D., about the same time and
filed on a homestead in the Lame Steer district in Montana and on which she
has made final proof. She is a charming young lady of many
accomplishments and has made many friends who join with The Advance in

J. W. Now Died Monday, July 4, After an Illiness of Several Months
- - - - -
While not unexpected, yet the news that J. W. Snow had died at his farm
north of town, Monday, July 4, at about 10 o'clock in the forenoon, was a
shock to his many friends in this part of the country.
Mr. Snow came to Beach something like two years ago from Lacrosse,
Wis., and purchased the Doyle farm north of town. A short time afterwards
he brought him family here and occupied the place, but much of his time
was devoted to his profession as a veterinary surgeon
H was a promoter and a tireless worker for the organization of the
Interstate Fair Association of Billings County and was much interested in its
success. He was a thorough believer in the future of this country and did
everything in his power to advance the interest of the community in which
he lived and of Beach. For some time after coming her he improved in
health, but he worked hard at his profession and last fall was obliged to go
east to secure rest and look after some business matters. While absent he
suffered two very severe attacks of sickness and had failed a great deal
before he returned. Even after it was impossible for him to longer make the
trip to town he would insist on going about the farm, to the barn and was
continually looking after something. He made a most heroic fight for life
and the end was indeed a relief from suffering.
His remains were taken to Onalaska, Wis., for interment and were
accompanied by relatives. He was 73 years of age at the time of death and is
survived by his wife and several children, two sons and a daughter living
near his farm.
Mr. Snow was a man among men and his man acquaintances in the
Golden Valley as well as in Wisconsin will indeed mourn with his bereaved
wife and children for the loss of a husband, father and a friend.

Killed by Stock Train
- - - - -
Body Carried Four Miles Before Train Crew Learn of Accident
- - - - -
L. W. Berge met a sudden and violent death yesterday about noon at
Sentinel Butte. He was expecting his son with a car load of cattle and had
gone down to the depot to ascertain if something definite could be learned
about it. He attempted to cross the tracks at the depot and was struck by a
stock train going east. It is reported that the train was going at the rate of
about forty miles an hour. The pilot of the engine struck him and he was
thrown into the air several feet, coming down in such a way as to land on the
pilot close up to the boiler. In this position he was carried to the next
station, where the train went on to the siding for the through passenger. It
was at this time that some one of the crew found the body and it was their
first knowledge of the fact that they had killed someone. A livery rig from
Sentinel Butte brought the remains back home.
In the way he attempted to cross the track his view of an approaching
train from the west would be obstructed and whether or not he was aware of
this fact will never be known. However, when some distance from the
tracks he started to run and as he approached the danger a warning was
shouted to him by Eddie Gilbert, but he evidently did not hear it and the
extra haste cost him his life
The death is particularly sad. Mr. and Mrs. Berge came to Sentinel Butte
from Black River Falls, Wis., where he was a respected citizen, only a few
weeks ago, for the purpose of visiting their daughter, Mrs. Albert F. Bailey.
They like the country very much and had decided to make Sentinel Butte
their home. To this end he had purchased a lot and had dug the cellar over
which their future home was to be erected.
He has many acquaintances here among the people of Wisconsin, all of
whom speak of him as an upright man and a good citizen. He was also an
old veteran. A wife, daughter and two sons survive him.

A Cold Blooded Murder
- - - - -
A cold blooded murder occurred at Wibaux last Saturday. A cowboy
came to town and hired a saddle horse from on of the liverymen. About
noon he tied the animal to a post after riding him all morning. The
liveryman thinking he was probably through with the horse sent a boy, who
was working in the barn after him, with instructions that he put him in the
barn, and give him feed and water. The cowboy saw the lad when he was
taking the horse to the barn, and immediately followed him to the stable,
where he entered by the door and shot the boy dead on the spot, without any
provocation whatever.
A blacksmith who was there tried to arrest him, but was driven back with
a six-shooter. He then took the horse and started to make his getaway. The
arm of justice was too fast for him, however, and just as he was leaving the
deputy sheriff appeared on the scene. He succeeded in arresting the fellow
after several short had been exchanged between them. The fellow fell off
the horse claiming to be shot, but no wound could be found.
The citizens were for lynching him, but while talking it over the sheriff
got his prisoner out of town.

Discouraged Over Financial Troubles Chas. Voller Ends His Life
With Strychnine
- - - - -
Wednesday morning the citizens of Beach were surprised to hear that
Chas. Voller had committed suicide in his slaughter house west of the city.
In the morning he arose and had his breakfast as usual, after which he
attended to his meat market until about 10:00 o'clock when he hitched up
his horse and started up town. He went into tone of the local drug stores and
purchased a half ounce of strychnine. As he was passing the City Bakery he
stopped and bought three bottle of pop. The clerk told him that it was not
necessary to pay for the bottles if he would return them when empty. He
seemed anxious to pay for them, however, saying that he might forget the
bottles when he returned. About 11:00 o'clock people who live in the
vicinity of his slaughter house heard his agonizing cries for help and saw
him run in the direction of his wagon. John Anderson was the first to arrive,
and as he picked Mr. Voller from the ground, where he had fallen, he died in
his arms. Not knowing the cause of the trouble. Mr. Anderson, hurried the
body to the office of Dr. Stough, but nothing could be done to bring back
the life that had flown.
Deceased came to Beach with his family from Bowbells, N.D., about a
year ago and started in the butcher business. Since that time he has
apparently enjoyed a satisfactory business from all outward appearances.
Nevertheless, he worried considerably over his financial affairs, and, it is
thought, that is what deranged his mind.
During his life Mr. Voller was looked upon as an honest and upright man,
a kind neighbor, and in all, a very desirable citizen.
Besides his wife, deceased leaves to mourn the loss of a loving husband
and kind father, three small girls, who have the sympathy of all in their deep
sorrow.

Mrs. Joseph Denoyer Succumbs to a Hemorrhage Sunday Morning
- - - - -
A cloud of sorrow enveloped the home of Mr. Joseph Denoyer Sunday
morning about 2:15 o'clock, when the Almighty God called to her heavenly
home, the wife and mother, at the early age of 32 years. For some time Mrs.
Denoyer had been ailing, but few thought but wheat she would rally from
her sickness and regain her former health. Such, however, was not to be.
About 12:00 o'clock Saturday night she was taken with a hemorrhage, and in
a little more than two hours life was extinct.
A year ago last February deceased moved to Beach, with her husband and
since that time, has endeared herself to many by her kind and pleasant
disposition. She was a devote member of the Roman Catholic church, and
never was the road too long or the night too dark, to go to the relief of a
wanting neighbor.
Much sympathy is extended to Mr. Denoyer at this time. In the loss of
his helpmate he is called upon to take the place of both father and mother to
three small boys, the two oldest being only eleven years of age, and the
youngest nine.
Besides her husband and three children deceased leaves to mourn her loss

A Very petty wedding occurred at the home of Mr. and Mrs. C. V. Knox
on Wednesday, when the daughter of Mrs. Knox, Miss Leora Hutchins, was
united by marriage to Rev. Alexander Douglas, a minister of the
Congregational church. The ceremony was performed just at the noon hour
by Rev. Chas. M. Good, pastor of the Beach Congregational church. While
Mr. Carl Bratton played the wedding march, Lohengrin, the bride and groom
marched to the altar. The bride was dressed in cadet blue with trimmings of
Persian lace and carried bride's roses. She was attended by her cousin, Miss
Mabelle Monet, who acted as bridesmaid and was dressed in pink silk voile.
Mr. Carl Bratton acted as best mad. After the ceremony the whole company
in attendance partook of the bounteous feast usually associated with such
happy occasions.
In the evening they took the train for a visit in the east and on their return
will probably take up some pastorate in the eastern part of the state.
Rev. Douglas is a graduate of Auburn Seminary, Rochester, N.Y., and
one of the pioneers of the Golden Valley. He located on a claim east of
Beach about seven years ago, when there were but few people in the
community, and it was thorough his efforts, perhaps more than any one else,
that the work of the church was successfully started. Recently, he has been
laboring along with line of the Milwaukee in Hettinger county, making his
home at Mott.
Miss Hutchins was one of the most popular and virtuous young ladies in

happiness and success in their Christian work.

In the city of Elkhart, Ind., Thursday, August 11, 1910, occurred a very
pretty marriage when C. L. Winkleman, of Beach was joined in the holy
bonds of matrimony to Miss Martha Meyers of the former city. The
ceremony took place in the Lutheran church, the pastor, Rev. Dressler,

Mr. Winkleman is one of the most learned and intelligent men in the

miles from Beach. By leading an economical life, he is today the proud
possessor of 480 acres, which he has mostly in crop. He is an honest and
broad minded man and is held in high esteem in his community.
The bride is a beautiful and charming young woman. Last June on a visit

time to the good of the vicinity, whether it be in the church or at social
gatherings.

William H. Seeley Passed Peacefully to Rest at Him Home Tuesday
Afternoon
- - - - -
With much regret The Advance chronicles this week the death of
William H. Seeley, which occurred at him home in Woodhull's addition,
Tuesday afternoon at 1:00 o'clock, in the fiftieth year of his age.
For many ears deceased was a resident of Melville, N.D., but learning of
the possibilities in Beach through his old friend and former partner in the
contracting and building business, A. W. Mason, came here last fall and
worked for Mr. Mason through the winter months. This spring he purchased
ten acrtes of land from W. H. Woodhull on which he erected a comfortable
home for himself and family, and moved here along in May. After they
were comfortably settled, Mr. Seeley started taking contracts for himself,
and was just finishing a house of the farm of John Johnston about eight
miles south, when he was taken sick. In less than a week the Great Reaper
had summoned his spirit home.
Mr. Seeley was a man who always enjoyed the respect of the community
in which he lived. He was a very zealous member and ardent worked in the
Advent church, and done much during his life to promote best interest of the
faith.
One of the particularly sad things in connection with Mr. Seeley's death
is the large family of small children he leaves - four girls and two boys - to
the care and guidance of the mother; the oldest not over fifteen years of age,
while the youngest in only an infant.
The services were held in the Congregational church Thursday afternoon,
an Advent minister from Belfield officiating. The remains were interred in
the Beach cemetery.

Plans For His Long Trip
- - - - -
Edward Kromrey Purchased Ticket on the Strychnine-Pop Route to the
World Beyond
- - - - -
Another sad death by suicide was brought to our notice last Monday noon
when it was reported that one Edward Kromrey, had succumbed to the
effects of strychnine. This time the victim was a lad of about nineteen
summers who became despondent over a love tragedy that had crept into his
young life in the city of Fall Creek, Wisc.
With his father, Edward came to Beachsome few months ago, and for
some time past has been employed by August Weideman in the capacity of
fireman on his threshing engine. He was a very faithful employee and soon
became a favorite with Mr. Weideman.
Although it was known that the young man was grieving more or less
over a slight dispute he had with his sweetheart before leaving for North
Dakota, no one imagined that he preferred the grave rather than live without
her, yet how weak are our minds when we try to realize the agony the young
man must have endured that caused him to commit such a rash act.
Monday morning he decided to end it all. After getting shaved in one of
the local barber shops he stepped into a drug store and purchased some
strychnine, with which he said he intended to kill rats. He then wended his
way to the cigar factory and bought a bottle of pop. He paid for the bottle
saying he would not return it.
When dinner was ready at the Weideman home, where the young man
was boarding, the children were sent to the barn to call him, but on reaching
the automobile shed found him lying on the floor. Mr. Weideman was
immediately summoned, and discovered that life was not yet extinct, but
before the services of a physician could be procured, the spirit had flown to
the other shore, where it will be tried before that great tribunal in the
heavens above.
Before taking the deadly poison the young man made a will, leaving his
earthly belongs, a sleigh, cat, dog, etc., to the different members of the
family. In another note he stated the kind of flowers he preferred to be
placed on his casket, who the pall bearers should be, the minister and they
hymns he wanted sung. He wrote and mailed a letter to the girl, and the
following note to his parents was found in his pocket:
“Meet my body in a coffin at Fall Creek. Take my body and burn it to
ashes and throw the ashes away, so nobody can find them, for I am your
hateful son, Edward. Tell my brother not to worry for me. This is the way I
wanted to be. I have taken strychnine and pop.”
Besides his parents, the young man had several brothers and sisters. One
brother, John, lives about eight miles north of Beach.
The remains were buried in the Beach cemetery Wednesday, his father
being present at the interment.

Clothes Catch on Fire From Burning Cook Car - Lives About Twelve Hours
- - - - -
Last Friday afternoon between the hours of 4:00 and 5:00 o'clock in some
unaccountable way, the cook car owned by P. A. Cook caught fire. In the
car was Mrs. Cook getting ready for supper, and noticing the blaze,
apparently rushed out. She must have forgotten some article she highly
valued, for she immediately entered the car again. By this time the flames
were spurting out in every direction, and when she re-appeared her clothes
were on fire.
Assistance was given at once, but before her clothing could be removed
or the fire extinguished, the body was horribly burned, and Saturday
morning about 4:00 o'clock the soul departed in quest of its heavenly home.
Deceased, whose maiden name was Miss Aggie McCullough, was born in
the province of New Brunswick, Can., in the year 1862. Afterwards the
family moved to the state of Wisconsin, where Miss McCullough met Mr.
Cook and finally married, about twenty-one years ago.
Mr. Cook came to the Golden Valley last fall on a trip and was so taken
up with the rich soil an even climate, that he decided to make this his future
home. He returned to Beach again last spring and a few weeks later Mrs.
Cook started for North Dakota from Oshkosh, Wis., where they had lived for
some time. She arrived here along the first of July.
A husband and two sons are left to mourn the untimely death of the
dearest and best friend they ever knew. Although practically strangers, the
community joins with The Advance in extending to Mr. Cook and his two
boys, our heartfelt sympathy.
The remains were taken to Oshkosh, Saturday, for interment.

R. E. Ripley Forever Separates Himself From the Order of Bachelors

Last Saturday ye writer experienced a feeling of deep melancholy when
he learned that R. E. Ripley, one of the popular and influential bachelors of
our city, had joined hands with Miss Addie Newman of Big Timber,
Montana, on Wednesday, at 12 o'clock noon, on the 5th day of October,
1910
. Not but that we are pleased to know that the genial “Rip” had found a
helpmate to sweeten and gladden his future days, but it is because we must
now so often find his chair vacant at our after dinner smokers that causes a
sadness and lonesome feeling to creep within our masculine frames.
The young couple were married at the home of the bride's parents, the
knot being tied by the Congregational minister. After the ceremony a
sumptuous wedding dinner was served to the immediate members of the
family. A honeymoon trip to Hunter's Hot Springs was enjoyed, coming to
Beach the first of the week, which will be their home for the present.
Mr. Ripley is well and favorably known in Beach, having been connected
with the banking and loan business in the valley for some time. The bride
was a popular young society lady of Big Timber and will be heartily
welcomed to our city. They have taken rooms over the First National Bank.
The Advance joins with the many friends of Mr. and Mrs. Ripley in

An Exceptionally Sad Death
- - - - -
Clinton George Logan Succumbed to an Attack of Infantile Paralysis Last
Friday.
- - - - -
The citizens of Beach were shocked last Friday noon when it was
reported that Clinton George, a son of Mr. and Mrs. E. D. Logan, had
succumbed to an attack of infantile paralysis at the home of his parents, in
his twenty-first year.
For some time the young man had not been in the best of health, which he
usually enjoyed, but as he did not complain his parents thought it was a
slight irregularity of the system that would soon right itself. However, on
the 29th day of September as he was fixing some goods into place on a top
shelf in his father's store, he accidentally fell off the step ladder on which he
was standing and, while being assisted to his feet, it was found he was
practically helpless. He was at once taken to him home where every
possible comfort was given. A doctor was summoned and diagnosed the
disease infantile paralysis.
Everything ws done to restore his health, but God's will must be done
and last Friday, October 7, about noon, he entered into that long sleep from
which the eyes only open on the borders of paradise in the heavens above.
Deceased was an exceptionally bright and energetic young man, and
during the past three years had been closely connected with his father in
business affairs. Honest in his dealings with the public, it is needles to say
that his character was held in good repute by the citizens of Beach and his
acquaintances throughout the Golden Valley. He came here from Winona,
Minn., the place of his birth, three years ago.
Services were held Monday in the Congregational church, Rev. Good
officiating. The remains were shipped to Winona, Minn., for burial in the
family plot and were accompanied by the sorrow stricken parents and their
two youngest children, Lavain and Pernie.
The family has the sincere sympathy of the entire community in their
sudden bereavement.
John and Willie Logan of Winona, brothers of the deceased, were in
attendance at the funeral here and returned east with the body.

Jen H. Nichols Succumbs to the Ravages of Typhoid Fever After Short Illness
- - - - -
The many friends of Jen H. Nichols were pained and shocked Wednesday
afternoon to learn of his death, which took place at 11:15 that morning.
Mr. Nichols was born in the town of Irving, Jackson county, Wisconsin,
January 29, 1863, and was therefore forty-seven years of age at the time of
death. He was married about seventeen years ago to Miss Mary Russell of
Melrose, Wis., and up to the time of coming here, in September, 1907, lived
in the town of Irving. On coming here he purchased the south half of section
23, four miles east of Beach, where he has since made his home. Funeral
services were held Friday afternoon from the Congregational church, Rev.
Willis Bennett of the Methodist church, preaching the sermon.
Since coming to the Golden Valley Mr. Nichols, by his sterling qualities
and genial, good nature, has made many friends who sincerely mourn his
untimely demise. He was an untiring worker and was fast accumulating a
competency for himself and family. His reputation has been above reproach
in whatever community he has lived, and Beach and vicinity lose a good
citizen in his untimely taking away.
His wife and two girls survive him, and to them is extended the sincere
sympathy of the community.

As we go to press word reaches our office of the death of Bert Brost, a
young man who came to Beach last August from Cumberland, Wis., and
entered the employ of E. B. Sutton as a drayman.
He was hauling a load of settler's good from this city to a farm south of
Williams. They had almost reached their destination when just as they were
going around a small hill the front wheel dropped into a chuck hole,
throwing the furniture and driver to the ground. The settler immediately
cleared away the furniture, but when he got to Brost he found that the stove
had fallen on his head, badly crushing the skull. A doctor was immediately
sent for, but long before he arrive life had been extinct. In an unconscious
state, the young man lived about half and hour.
Miss Hazel Brost, a sister living at Clam Falls, Wis., was notified of his
death, but as yet an answer has not been received.
Deceased was only in his twenty-first year, and a boy, who, as far as we

Home of Rev. Jos. W. Dudley Burns to the Ground - Grandchild a Victim of
the Flames.
- - - - -
Thursday morning the home of Rev. Jos. W. Dudley at Carlyle was
burned to the ground with all its contents.
In the house at the time were the two small children of Mrs. Daisy Clark,
daughter of Mr. Dudley. Mrs. Clark was in the yard when she first noticed
the flames and, although she done everything a mother could to save her
children, Dudley, the fourteen-months-old baby, perished in the flames. The
other child was slightly burned, but not seriously.
Mr. Dudley suffered a heavy loss financially. Besides the house which
was valued at $1200, he lost $2500 worth of grain, all his furniture, clothing,
bedding, and a very extensive library.
The fire was of unknown origin, but it is thought that it was caused by an
explosion in the stove. No insurance.

Tragedy at Carlyle
- - - - -
A correct account of the tragedy which happened at Carlyle on Tuesday, November 22, 1910
:
About 12 o'clock Tuesday the home of Rev. J. W. Dudley burned to the
ground and with it burned little Donald Clark, grandson of Rev. Dudley.
The child's mother, Mrs. Daisy Clark, was sweeping the yard just in front of
the door, when as agent drove up and began talking to her. Just then she
heard a noise and heard the baby scream. She dropped her broom and
turned to run into the house, when she was met by a volume of smoke and
flame, which filled the house. By his crying she found Dudley, a two-year
old child, and after carrying him out she started back after the baby, but was
beaten back by flames. She then picked up an ax and ran to the front of the
house, intending to break through the window into the room where the baby
was, but found flames bursting out of all the windows. The agonized mother
started into the flames, but the agent, who had returned, dragged her back.
Cause of the fire will always remain a mystery. It is generally supposed
that something in the coal caused a spontaneous explosion. Rev. Dudley has
suffered a severe financial loss. Nothing whatever was recovered from the
fire, the loss on household goods amounting to about $2,000, besides an
extensive library and over 1,000 bushels of grain
A portion of the child's body was rescued from the flames and given a
Christian burial. Funeral services were held Sunday at the home of W. A.
Walters, north of Carlyle, Rev. Good of the Congregational church of Beach
officiating. The body was laid at rest in the Beach cemetery.
Donald Clark was born January 29, 1910, at the age of 9 months and 24
days. A blue eyed child with curly golden hair; an angels face could not
have been sweeter or more pure. He was mentally developed far beyond an
ordinary child and the merry smile with which he greeted everyone endeared
him to the hearts of all. His life of purity and innocence has left an
impression that time can never efface, just as his death leaves an acing void
that can never be filled.
A tender ray of God's own sunshine, he drifter into the world, lighting up
dark places and warming up hearts that were cold. No one but the mother
can fully realize how much good the little life has done, but God needed the
little sunbeam to shine around His heavenly throne and however much our
hearts ache, we can only say, “Thy will be done.”

August W. Pippert of this city was crushed to death under the wheels of a
moving train in the freight yards of the N. P. railway in Fargo last Saturday
night. The exact cause of the accident will probably not be known. The

beams out of town. His body was horribly crushed and mangled, and
recognition was obtained only by means of a notebook which gave the
victim's name and the address of his aunt, Mrs. Eline Nissen of this place.
Mrs. Nissen was communicated with by the Fargo authorities and she at

Coal Gas Kills Montana Man
- - - - -
Waysiech Popiel, a Prosperous Resident Across Montana Line, is
Asphyxiated
- - - - -
Dr. Museus was called out southwest of town on Wednesday to the home
of Waysiech Popiel, a prominent farmer just over the Montana line, who had
been asphyxiated by coal gas while trying to excavate coal from an
abandoned well on his premises. Death had occurred long before the
physician's arrival, the unfortunate man having been in the well for about
two and one-half hours before his body could be rescued.
Mr. Popiel who has been generally known as Albert, was a brother of
John Popiel of the same neighborhood, the two having been natives of
Austria, where they have a mother and brothers and sisters still living. The
deceased was about twenty-eight years old, and though still single he had
acquired considerable property, including a half-section of land, which will
fall to his relatives.
At the time of descending into the well, he was apparently overcome at
once with the gas fumes, as he called for help and was heard by the hired
man. The well was dark at the bottom, and as no light would burn it, all
help was exceedingly difficult. Being unable to do anything without
assistance, the man went to John Popiel's a distance of about two miles.
The body was secured only after much difficulty, and when secured, the
signs of death were unmistakable.

Aged Pioneer Passed Beyond
- - - - -
Michael Knott, Old-Time Resident of Billings County, Is Dead, After
Painful Illness.
- - - - -
Death came, on Monday, to bring relief to an aged suffered who has been
confined for some time past with painful ailments from which there was no
hope of cure. The sufferer was Mr. Michael Knott, an old-time resident of
this section, who was brought into town from his farm home about two
weeks ago for such treatment and care as could be give him.
Mr. Knott was seventy-three years old at the time of his death, which
occurred on December 19th. Funeral services were held from the
undertaking rooms of Overstad & Hoverson on the 21st inst., Rev. C. M.
Good officiating.
The deceased was a native of Germany, from whence he removed to
American about twenty-five years ago after having served with credit in the
Franco-Prussian war in behalf of his native land. He came west to this
section at an early date, and being a meat cutter by trade he found
employment at Medora as head cutter in the great packing plant of the
Marquis de Mores, during the wild western days of that prominent
Frenchman and our only living ex-president.
The old man is said to have been a good deal of a recluse in his later
years and had few intimate acquaintances. Those who knew him but
casually believed him to be of an irascible disposition; but it is generally
believed that his peculiarities would have been less noticeable under more
favorable conditions for acquaintance. His sufferings during his last illness
attracted to him the profound sympathy of those who knew of his condition
and understood the hopelessness of his ailment.
