The death of Frank J. "Mickey" McConville, 97, at the Linton Hospital Wednesday afternoon, March 25, brought to end one of the longest and most colorful careers in the history of Emmons County.
It ranged from homesteader here before North Dakota became a state, through a period as "mule skinner" at the old Fort Yeates post, through 16 years as an Emmons County commissioner, right down to the many years he ranked as a marvel of stamina and hardiness as a retired citizen.
The Rev. C. B. Cedar, Pollock, officiated at funeral services which were held Monday afternoon at 1:30 in the Memorial Auditorium at Linton. Burial was made in the family plot of the Dale Cemetery, southwest of Linton. Tht Kraft Funeral Home, Linton, was in charge of funeral arrangements.
Active pallbearers were A. J. Shier, David (Scoop) Calquhoun, L. P. Malone, Oliver Rudy and John Steen, all of Linton, and Harold Bales, Sterling.
Honorary pallbearers were William Dornbush and Dr. L. C. Shockey, Mobridge; Irvin Fenelon and Robert Parrot, Aberdeen; Fred Wohl, Pollock; Anton Naaden, McLaughlin, S. D.; Henry Heer, John Ohlhauser, Harry Lynn, John Schieremister, J. D. Meier, Pat Malone Sr., Robert Chesrown and Ray Rypkema, all of Linton; Jack Birdsell, Temvik; and Peter Frank, Bismarck.
Mickey McConville, christened Francis John, was Emmons County's oldest citizen. He was born in Cattaraugus County, New York, on April 25, 1861, a son of Arthur and Kathryn McConville. The family moved to McLain County, Illinois, in 1869 and to Dakota Territory in 1876.
In May, 1885, young Mickey came to what is now Emmons County and homesteaded in the Dale community. Later he moved to Sheldon, Iowa, for a time but returned to his claim in 1888. On Oct. 13, 1888, he married Annie Elizabeth Halstrap [Halestrap] at Linton.
Because of drouth and other adverse conditions, he and his wife moved across the Missouri River to Fort Yeates where he took a job as a "mule Skinner" with the Army. The shortage of water there resulted in his driving a span of mules hitched to a water tank, with which he hauled water from the river. In the seven Years he lived in Fort Yates, his two children were born.
In 1895, the family returned to a farm they had purchased, 27 miles southwest of Linton. He owned this farm until 1943, when he sold it to his grandson, Francis Jakobsen.
His residence in this county also led to service as county commissioner for a total of 16 years. He represented the fifth district from 1911 to 1923, and again from 1927 to 1931. From 1927 to 1929, he and his brother, the late Ed McConville, were both members of the board of commissioners, his brother respresenting the fourth district. Mickey also served as a member of his local school board and was at one time employed at the state capitol during a legislative session.
The five year period from 1938 to 1943 saw death wipe out all of Mr. McConville's family. His wife died in 1938; his daughter, Mary Ethel Jakobsen, died June 14, 1941; and his son, Thomas Arthur, died March 14, 1943.
In recent years he has been living with his great-granddaughter, Mrs. LaVerne Renner, Pollock.
He leaves the following three grandchildren: Mrs. Helen Langeliers, Terrabone, Ore.; Francis Jakobsen, Linton; and Mrs. Fern Dale, Pollock. There are 13 great-grandchildren and six great-great-grandchildren.
Also surviving are two sisters; Mrs. Agnes Peterson, Faribault, Minn.; and Mrs. Kate Poler, Capa, S.D.
