The young man was ill for a few days with the Spanish influenza when his wife and little girl were stricken. As they were a mile and a half from the nearest neighbor, and no one knew they were sick, it was up to Mr. Brown to get up and take care of his family. Getting up in such a critical condition caused a relapse, followed by pneumonia, making it a matter of only a couple of days before he died. His remains were buried in the Beach cemetery Saturday afternoon at 4 o’clock, Rev. Thatcher officiating. Tony brown was born in ……, Michigan, in the year of 1891, and lived there, with the exception of two years in Minnesota, until 1903, when he moved west and located at Beach. Here Tony went to the High school for two years and was well liked among those with whom he came into contact. In 1912 he married Miss Bertha Arp. To this union one little girl, now aged three years, came to bless the home. After his marriage he farmed and was very successful for the conditions under which he labored. He leaves besides his wife and little girl, his mother, Mrs. Ida Brown, two brothers, Ben and John, and three sisters, Susie, Delia and Messila. The sympathy of the community is extended to the sorrowing relatives. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * The Beach Advance, Beach, Golden Valley Co, North Dakota, January 3rd, 1919 Mr. and Mrs. Harry Brastrup are rejoicing over the arrival of a fine eight and a half pound baby boy, born to them Sunday morning, December 29th.

H. Franklyn Died Monday - - - - - Carlyle Editor Answers Call of “30.” Stricken With Paralysis He Lived But a Short Time - - - - - H. W. Franklyn, of Carlyle, Mont., died of paralysis last Monday, January 6, at 1:00 o’clock. He was born in Lexington, Kentucky, January 12, 1875, and was therefore nearly 44 years of age at time of death. Harry was the only surviving member of his father’s and mother’s family, the others having all preceded him in death. Mr. Franklyn had not been feeling well, but yet was able to do the work in the office, having gotten out last week’s paper on time. He had all but finished the last line on a piece of job work on Saturday and was up and around Sunday. The end came suddenly. The community in which he lived will be the loser as he was making a success of the Herald that had not been experienced before his advent into the newspaper game at Carlyle. Mr. Franklyn was well liked by all who knew him. A good business man, a thorough mechanic and a man that understood the newspaper game. He received his early training on the Chicago Inter-Ocean, of which paper his uncle was manager for a number of years. He was linotype operator for the Golden Valley Progress nearly all summer and in the fall went to Carlyle to take charge of that paper, having bought the larger interest in the plant. We owe much to Mr. Franklyn in this office, as he has given us instruction and help that was of great benefit to us in operating the linotype. He leaves to mourn his demise, a wife and adopted daughter and to them, with the community, we wish to express condolence in their sad hour. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * The Beach Advance, Beach, Golden Valley Co, North Dakota, January 10th, 1919 Death of Harley Edgar Wallace - - - - - Again this week we are called upon to chronicle the death of one of our popular young men of Beach. Word was received here last week, by Mr. and Mrs. Willis Wallace, of the death of their son Harvey Edgar, October 21st, from wounds received in battle. It is said he died about the same time as a neighbor boy, Harry Anderson, only that in some way the Anderson’s were officially notified a month before the Wallace’s. It seems strange that Mrs. Wallace should be the one to help Mrs. Anderson in her hour of trouble, wondering at the same time about her own boy and yet know knowing. Harvey Edgar Wallace was born in Ontario, Wis., April 27, 1900, and died at the age of 19 years, 4 months and 22 days. Ontario was Harvey’s childhood home. Later he came to Beach, where his father took land north of town and moved his family. Harvey helped his father during the summer months, and when he reached the high school grade, attended the schools in Beach during the winter. On June 12, 1917, he enlisted with Co. K. in Dickinson, and went with that organization to France, December 12, 1917. Upon arrival there he was transferred to the 16th Infantry, Co. D, and almost immediately went to the front, so that he saw a great deal of hard fighting before his death. Letters will be sent to the commanding officer and Red Cross society, to learn what they can of the particulars of his wound, death and burial. Harvey was a clean young man, of good moral and religious ideas. He was a member of the Methodist church and while at Beach attended regularly. He was also active in the Young People’s society and had lived in such a way that he was prepared for death when it came. The loss is indeed great for his parents and four brothers, but perhaps we should feel as does his mother, that he did his duty for his country and we should not mourn his loss, but be thankful we had a son to give to so noble a cause. They sympathy of the entire community is with the Wallace’s in their hour of trouble. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * The Beach Advance, Beach, Golden Valley Co, North Dakota, January 10th, 1919 Unofficial Report of Ross Zollinger’s Death In France - - - - - It is with deep regret that we publish this week, the statement received in Beach of the death of Ross Zollinger in the service of his country, in the great world war. There are very grave doubts as to the truth of the report for the reason of the most perfect system maintained in the army over seas to report to headquarters every day those killed in action or who died for any reason in the hospitals. These reports then come by cable to Washington, and from there are immediately wired to the nearest living relative. There has been no official notice to the effect that Ross died of his wounds, received by his father, who lives at Ollie, up to this time. Hoping against hope that our doubts are true and that the letter is wrong, we give the news to our readers as it came to us. Portion of a letter received by A. E. Swan, from a lieutenant in France, on which is based the supposition that Ross was killed about November 8th, in the Argonne Forest: “When I saw him he was so seriously hurt that death was imminent, and the nurse said he would not last through the night. * * * * I did not know him, unfortunately, for he was a man anyone would be proud to know, and met his death gallantly because of his conception of duty. Three machine gun bullets found their way through his body, four in his legs and two in his right arm. He was also gassed and suffered concussion from a high explosive. He was in a division which was the keystone which ………the Argonne offensive and emerged scathe less in two months of constant fighting previous, in the biggest, deadliest battle of the way. I am glad to tell you that he is one of the shining lights, whose deeds have won the war. You will notice that death is based on the statement of the nurse some hours before even she thought it would take place. It is not at all impossible that in this case the unexpected happened and that Ross weathered the storm. Then the statement by the lieutenant, “I did not know him,” coupled with the fact that no official notice has been received, adds further hope, for it may have been a case of mistaken identity. Ross Zollinger was well known and had many warm friends in Beach. He was at one time editor and manager of the Beach Advance. He was a writer of more than average ability and contributed articles to some of the leading magazines, the Ladies Home Journal and other high class publications. At the time of his enlistment into the service he had charge of the publicity bureau of Grand Forks as secretary of the commercial club. Ross was popular in society, an entertaining conversationalist, a musician with artistic temperament suited to playing band music, orchestra work or difficult solos on the saxophone. He was also master of other musical instruments. Everyone in this office is acquainted with Ross and every effort possible has been made to get the facts. Further than what is stated above, is a letter to Mr. Hougen from his son Jesse, dated December 13, 1918, which contains the remark: “I saw Lieutenant Sprague and Ross Zollinger a few days ago.” To us “a few days ago” is vague; it may mean yesterday or a longer period of time. However, let us still hope there is some mistake and that Ross will return shortly with the triumphant boys from France. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * The Beach Advance, Beach, Golden Valley Co, North Dakota, January 10th, 1919 Popular Young Couple Married Wednesday - - - - - Wednesday evening, at the Methodist parsonage, at 7 o’clock, a popular young couple of Beach, Miss Emma Holler and Leo Stockwell, spoke the words which made them man and wife, under the direction of Rev. Thatcher. Only the immediate family witnessed the ceremony. The bride was beautifully gowned in Persian georgette, with gray kid shoes to match the background of the dress, and looked very pretty. The groom was dressed in his military suit, the couple making a striking appearance. Mr. Stockwell came to Beach with his parents fourteen years ago, and is well and favorably known here. He went to school at this place and graduated with the class of 1917. Because of his poetical genius and his numerous productions along this line, he was given the title of class poet. He was also class editor for a time and ably sustained the class record and honor. Almost immediately after his graduation he joined Co. M and left Beach the 1st of October, 1917, as one of its members. He was in the service about six months when he was given an honorable discharge on account of illness. Upon returning home his father determined that his family must have a representative in the service, made application and was accepted. He is now station at Camp Lewis, has won his way to the head of the non-commissioned list and expects soon to go to Russia and help with the work there. Miss E. Holler, formerly of Van Horne, Ia., came here from Drayton, N.D., in the fall of 1917, and was employed by the law firm of Keohane & Jones for several months, when the Bankers Bond & Mortgage Co. induced her to enter their employ. She is a very capable young business woman, a graduate form the Grand Forks Business College at sixteen and possessed with a varied and valuable experience after graduation. Since coming to Beach she has made many friends by her cheerful and kindly disposition. The many friends of the contracting parties extend to them best wishes for a happy and prosperous life. They will be at home to friends after February 15th, at Beach. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * The Beach Advance, Beach, Golden Valley Co, North Dakota, January 10th, 1919 Mr. and Mrs. Jack Crouse of Thelen are the proud parents of a big baby boy, born Saturday, January 4th.

Wallace of the death of their son Harley Wallace, which occurred some time in October, from wounds received in battle. Harley was a young man of splendid character and possessing a very pleasing personality. When war was first declared Harley was among the first to answer the call to arms, and he died fighting to uphold the flag of his country. To the sorrowing family is extended the sympathy of their many friends in the neighborhood. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * The Beach Advance, Beach, Golden Valley Co, North Dakota, January 17th, 1919 Mrs. A.

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 this 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 1898 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, grandparents, aunt and uncle and Mr. and Mrs. Rube Clark of Hodges, Mont., aunt and uncle Mr. and Mrs. Mason Vanderhoof, 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. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * The Beach Advance, Beach, Golden Valley Co, North Dakota, January 24th, 1919 Charles W. Purvis - - - - - We are called upon to chronicle the death, which took place during the past week, of one of this county’s most prominent citizens, Charles W. Purvis, who passed away on December 8th, 1918, at the age of 45 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 after 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 every 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 his 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 deep sympathy of many friends to this sad family during their hour of grief. - - - - - Note - We republish the obituaries of Charley W. Purvis and his son Ralph because the likeness which was to appear with the write-up in The Advance at the time of death, was unavoidably delayed in coming. The sadness of the double death in the family and the sickness of Mrs. Charley W. Purvis and son Charles Jr., at that time made a marked impression of grief in the community. Mrs. Purvis and Charley Jr. are now well and in a measure have recovered from this sickness. The memory io those who have gone before will always remains. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * The Beach Advance, Beach, Golden Valley Co, North Dakota, January 24th, 1919 Charles and Warren Kirkpatrick left Beach, Monday for Seattle, Wash., to accept positions, at least for the winter months. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * The Beach Advance, Beach, Golden Valley Co, North Dakota, January 24th, 1919 News was received Sunday evening, by Dave Hawkins, who lives north of Beach, of the death of his father at Forest River, N.D.

The deceased had been ailing in health for the past two years and last fall went to California in the hope that the climate would improve her condition, she having received much benefit from a sojourn there a year ago. However, this visit did not bring the desired results, probably due the undermining of her recuperative powers, and she continued to gradually fail. Her sisters, Mrs. Matt Smith and Mrs. Ernest Zielsdorf, were notified of her condition and left immediately for California, and were at her bed side at time of death. Nettie Stockwell was born in Black River Falls, Wis., in the year 1879, and lived there during her girlhood days. It was there she met and married Franc Zielsdorf, and after a few years of married life they came to Beach in the spring of 1907, establishing their home at once on their farm northwest of this city. Two children came to bless this union, Miss Lillian, who entered high school as a senior this year, and little Kathryn, who was also attending the Beach schools. Besides her husband and two children, she leaves her parents, Mr. and Mrs. ….. Stockwell, two sisters, Mrs. Matt Smith and Mrs. Ernest Zielsdorf, all of Beach, and five brothers, Emerson Stockwell of Bend, Ore., Sergeant Leonard Stockwell of Camp Lewis, Orin, Dan and Howard Stockwell of Beach. Also an aunt, Mrs. James Baker. The remains were brought to Beach and the funeral services held at the Congregational church on Saturday afternoon and were largely attended. During her residence in the Golden Valley, Mrs. Zielsdorf has won the admiration and respect of her many acquaintances and while her death was not unexpected, yet it was with the deepest sorrow that it was received. To her immediate family especially is sincere sympathy extended in the hour of their sore bereavement. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * The Beach Advance, Beach, Golden Valley Co, North Dakota, February 7th, 1919 Mrs. Roy Crone - - - - - A telegram was received by W.

Clara Atkinson was born in Colchester, Ill., in 1882, and made her home there the greater portion of her life. She married Roy Crone at that place in 1900 and for the first few years of her married life continued living in her girlhood town.

She had been ailing the past few days more than usual and in her weakened condition death seemed to come more as a relief to her sufferings. Mabel Taggart was born in 1888, at Taylor, Wis., and lived there for the first four years of her life, then her people moved to Merrillan. At this place she grew to womanhood, leaving there in 1907 to come west with her parents, who had taken a homestead southwest of Beach.

This death, following so quickly that of her sister, Mrs. Ed Knoop, which took place on January 29th, is indeed a heavy bereavement for the surviving relatives. Mrs. Johnson had not fully recovered from an attack of the influenza at the time of her sister’s death, and shortly after suffered a relapse, death following in a few days. Miss Ethel Taggart was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Taggart and was born in Taylor, Wis., about twenty-eight years ago. She came to the Golden Valley in 1907, when her parents took up their residence on the homestead just across the line in Montana. Here she became acquainted with and afterwards married Theodore Johnson, immediately taking up their residence on Mr. Johnson’s farm in the Lame Steer district where they lived for about three years. When her parents moved to Oregon, Mr. and Mrs. Johnson went with them and have since lived in the west. Mrs. Johnson is survived by her husband and four children, her mother, two brothers and one sister, to whom sincere sympathy is extended. Interment was made at Emmenglau. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * The Beach Advance, Beach, Golden Valley Co, North Dakota, February 21st, 1919 Golva News Notes - Mr. and Mrs. Tony Kreitinger are the proud parents of a baby girl, born to them on Sunday, February 9. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * The Beach Advance, Beach, Golden Valley Co, North Dakota, February 21st, 1919 Death of Mrs. Josie Crone - - - - - Word has been received by W. S. Davis of the death of Mrs. Josie Crone which took place last Friday morning at Colchester, Ill. Deceased went to that place last summer to join her husband and was to have spent the winter there. During the fall, sickness in Colchester was quite prevalent and she helped to nurse various relatives and friends until her worn out condition made her an easy victim for the influenza, which she contracted from her nephew. Her son Carmen, went to her bedside from New York, and together with others and everything in the power to save her life, but all to no avail. The Crones came to Beach in the fall of 1910 and in the spring of 1911 moved to a claim in the Trotters territory, where she lived until last summer when she went to Colchester for a visit. While here she made many friends who will indeed be sorry to learn of her sudden demise. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * The Beach Advance, Beach, Golden Valley Co, North Dakota, February 21st, 1919 Anderson - Bryce Nuptials - - - - - Anges Anderson and Arthur Bryce were married in the German Lutheran church in this city Wednesday morning at 11 o’clock, by Rev. Trinklein. The bride was very becomingly attired in a dress of dark green, georgelle crepe and wore a toque gray hat and shoes to match. The contracting couple were attended by Albert and Mable Anderson, brother and sister of the bride. The groom is one of the substantial young men of the Edgehill country and can be classed among the pioneers of the Golden Valley, having come to Beach in 1908. About that time he made a homestead entry for the land in the Edgehill territory which he now owns and which he has greatly improved. He is made of those sterling qualities that command admiration and respect in all places and is now classed as one of the substantial and prosperous farmers of that territory. Mrs. Bryce is one of the charming and substantial young ladies of the Edgehill vicinity, where she has lived for the past ten years with the exception of the time spend at her claim near Forsythe. Both of the happy couple have a host of friends who unite in wishing them life’s full measure of happiness and prosperity, in which The Advance wishes to join. They will be at home to friends after March 1st, at their farm. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * The Beach Advance, Beach, Golden Valley Co, North Dakota, February 21st, 1919 At 10:30 Wednesday morning, in the Catholic parsonage, Father Hake pronounced the words that made Miss Ethel Chandler and William Dilley, man and wife. The bride was beautifully gowned in a gold chiffon taffeta with Alice blue georgette crepe over drape, and wore a black tocque hat. She carried a large bouquet of yellow roses and orange blossoms, making a very petty figure. The bride was attended by Miss Mary McCarthy, who wore a light tan georgette dress with a large hat of tan and brown. Erban Theisan acted as best man. The bride has lived here almost since Beach was first started, has attended the city schools and is a graduate of the high school of this city. Her genial and helpful disposition and sterling worth have won her many friends. The groom has also been a resident of this territory for a number of years and has many warm friends among his large acquaintance. The happy couple left on No. 3 for a short honeymoon trip in the west. It is probable that upon their return they will occupy the groom’s farm north of Beach during the coming year at least. The many friends of the young couple extend to them best wishes for a life of happiness and prosperity, and in this The Advance desires to be included. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * The Beach Advance, Beach, Golden Valley Co, North Dakota, February 28th, 1919 Mrs. Joe Florek, Dead - - - - - Mrs. Joe Florek died in the asylum at Warm Springs, Mont., Saturday morning.

A week ago she was taken to the hospital with the influenza, with which had been attacked, and was not ill long before pneumonia set in, making her a victim to the dread epidemic. A baby girl which was born to Mr. and Mrs. Stockwell, Sunday, died the same day. Both Mother and child will be brought to Beach for burial Saturday afternoon. All arrangements have not been made at this writing and friends who wish to know the exact hour of the funeral can call either the Mathisons or Mrs. Matt Smith, to whose home she will be taken upon arrival in Beach. The deceased was born near Dale, Minn., in the year of 1894, making her about 25 years of age at time of death. She lived at that place until two years old, when her parents moved to Moorehead, making that city her home until in the eight grade at school, when she came west and finished her school work at this place. For the next two years she made her home with her sister, Mrs. M. Mathison, while on the farm north of town. From there she went back to Moorehead and started a nursing course, which was interrupted by a serious operation and impairment of health. Later she was employed as nurse at the Libson hospital, resigning this position to marry Howard Stockwell, with whom she became acquainted while making her home with her sister. The marriage ceremony was performed on January 4, 1916, and they went immediately to the farm home of the groom north of this city. During her years of residence in Beach and surrounding country she made many friends, who will learn with sorrow of her unexpected death. With these people The Advance wishes to join in extending sympathy to the bereaved husband and relatives. Besides her husband she is survived by a father, N. T.

Lundin Died Tuesday - - - - - One of Golden Valley County’s Most Prosperous Farmers Passed Away after a Short Illness on His Return from a Trip Through California and Eastern Points - - - - - Seldom is a newspaper called upon to perform a more sorrowful task that is allotted to The Advance this week in chronicling the sudden death of Charles A. Lundin, which took place at the Callender Hotel in this city, Tuesday evening, March 25th, from oedema of the lungs. Widely known and greatly respected and admired throughout the entire western part of the state as a man of unimpeachable honor, progressive idea and filled with a spirit of public good, he will be mourned as a personal loss, not only in the community in which he lived, but throughout the entire county. Mr. and Mrs. Lundin returned last week Thursday from a month’s visit in California, and while enroute home stopped off at Valley City to visit their son and daughter, who are attending school there. Mr. Lundin was not feeling upon their arrival here and decided to stay at the hotel until sufficiently recovered to make the trip to his home, fifteen miles southeast of Beach. He grew worse instead of better, although as late as Monday it was not realized by the family that his condition was serious. Death claimed him Tuesday evening. Charles A. Lundin was born in Sweden, June 5th, 1861, and was therefore, 58 years of age last June. He started life a cripple and for a number of years was compelled to use crutches, on account of which handicap he got but little schooling. When a mere boy he took up the blacksmithing trade and followed that craft for more than twenty years. Early Life A Hardship While his early life carried a much greater burden than is usually the lot of man, yet he frequently referred with great satisfaction to the years of work and saving before he could purchase his first crude set of blacksmithing tools. He finally bought them and began business for himself. At an age when most American boys are still at school and writing home for money, this Swedish boy was hewing his own way in the world, and learning those valuable lessons in self-reliance which rendered him capable of doing big things when golden opportunity finally threw open to him her larger portals. Sailed for America When still a young man in Sweden, he suffered a financial reverse, and later sold his shop and took a business course in one of the cities of that country. Finally, at 26, he bade the folks at home good-by and sailed for America, eventually reaching Omaha, Neb., a strange lad in a strange land. This was back in the latter eighties. Times were none to brisk, financial depression was pending, and nothing but the most common of menial labor was to be found. Wages were not above one dollar and a quarter a day. The young man stuck to the task, however, learned the English language, and having partially overcome his lameness, saved up enough in a few years to enable him to go in search of a homestead, which he eventually located at Melville, N.D., in the central part of the state. It was in the summer of 1893 when he filed on this homestead and built his first home in American. About this time the panic - long pending - broke upon the country, and times have never been harder than they were in those days of strikes, lockouts, and Coxey’s army maneuvers. The young man had a lively time of it, earning his grubstake and making the necessary improvements, but make it he did. He resided in that community for seventeen years. It was there that he was married and his three children were born. For several years he combined farming with blacksmithing; later he added a wagon shop to his blacksmith shop, and finally he went into the hardware and machinery business. In 1910 he sold out his interests there and moved to Golden Valley county, where he purchased several sections of land and began farming of a large scale. How well he succeeded in this venture is evidenced by his splendid property. The Lundin farm property consists of about six sections of land over half of which is under cultivation, while the reminder is devoted to pasturage and grazing. The ‘home place’ comprises about 1700 acres, and the main buildings are located on an almost level section, which is fenced, cross fenced and laid out in a manner calculated to reduce to the minimum the work of farming on such a mammoth scale. Perhaps no set of farm buildings on The Slope forms a prettier picture than does those of the Lundin farm. The great white farm house to the north and the various barns, granaries, bunk houses, garages, etc., at the east, south and west. The house, barns and yard are lighted with electricity and when all the lights are on in the evening, the place presents the appearance of a small village. Sewage, bath, hot and cold water, laundry - in fact, every convenience of the best city home - can be found here, and the family is denied nothing which contributes to physical comfort. The king who “waded through glory to a throne” did but little when compared with a boy of foreign birth and a cripple in his youth, who has waded thus through all kinds of handicaps to a place of opulence and influence in the land of his adoption. Mr. Lundin was a member of the Masonic fraternity and the funeral services were conducted from the local Masonic Temple, Thursday morning at 11 o’clock. The beautiful and impressive Masonic ceremonies were followed, augmented by a prayer by the Rev. Tjornhom, of the Scandinavian Lutheran church. Interment was made in the local cemetery. As a mark of respect for the greatest man in Golden Valley county, neighbors and friends from the north, south, east and west, came to Beach to be present at the last sad rites of the departed. The floral tribute was also profuse and most beautiful. All business houses in Beach were closed from 10:30 to 12. The immediate family of Mr. Lundin consists of a wife, one son, Nicholas, and two daughters, Enola and Ruby, to whom the entire community extends sincere sympathy in their hour of sorrow and heavy affliction. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * The Beach Advance, Beach, Golden Valley Co, North Dakota, March 28th, 1919 Burgreen - Brown - - - - - The wedding of Bea Brown and Miss Emily Mae Burgreen took place at the United Brethern church Saturday afternoon at 4:00 p.m. Rev.

Pierzina was received here Monday and it came as a shock to the community. Mrs. Pierzina passed away at the Dickinson hospital, Sunday morning at 6:00, following an operation for gall stones. Mrs. Pierzine (sic) had enjoyed the blessing of good health until recently, when she became troubled, and on the advice of her physician sought relief by an operation, which proved fatal. Hattie Giernza was born in Germany, September 26, 1875. She came with her folks to this country when but 12 years of age and the family settled at Arcadia, Wisconsin, where she grew to womanhood and it was here she met and married John I. Pierzina, February 18, 1895. Eleven years ago the 26th of March the family came west and made their home north of Beach. Nine children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Pierzine and all are living except Gertrude, an infant daughter, who preceded her mother in death. All the remainder of the family were staying at home except Ignatious, who entered the service of the U. S. as train dispatcher and was stationed at Leona, Wisconsin, where he has been for nearly a year. The life history of Mrs. Pierzina is well known since she came here, having lived here eleven years. She was of the sturdy pioneer stock, to which this country owes so much: modest, retiring, unassuming and with a splendid character. Always ready to aid in sickness and distress, an exemplary mother, a devoted wife. Mrs. Pierzina was comparatively young and always enjoyed God’s most blessed gift, good health. It seems to us of this earth that death is untimely, but God, in His all wise wisdom, knew best. He has taken her away to dwell in Heaven. She was a firm believer in the faith and received the Holy Sacrament of the church before her death. Mr. Pierzina and daughter Mayme were present at the time of death, being called Friday on account of her condition, as fear was held for her recovery.

J. Strum, a farmer living near Thelen, had been drowned that afternoon in Penny’s open coal mine. The news of this distressing accident reached town when P. C. Erickson, an uncle of the boys, brought the bodies to town, and caused general sympathy with the bereaved family, the members of which are held in the highest esteem by all who know them. It appears the boys, together with a boy named Warner, went over to the coal mine in the afternoon for a walk and found the mine filled with water, it having a spring or two that fed it. The younger boy took off his trousers in order to do some wading and the first thing he knew he stepped off into a deep hole and went under. The older Strum boy rushed to his assistance only to also get in over his head, when Warner also jumped in to help them, but was unable to do so, he having much trouble in getting out himself. Warner gave the alarm and neighbors rushed to the mine and dived in a vain effort to locate the bodies, the water in places being 20 feet deep. Rakes were rigged up and eventually the bodies were recovered and brought to Beach. When the news of the drowning reached the Strum home a sister rushed from there to the mine and in so doing nearly died from overexertion and the heat, but is now all right. Mr. and Mrs. Strum were at church at Thelen when the tragedy occurred and were heartbroken when the news was brought them. Both the boys were bright fellows and their loss is sadly mourned in their neighborhood. Private funeral services were held at the Strum home Thursday noon and the public funeral at the Lutheran church at Beach at 2 o’clock in the afternoon, the entire countryside being present. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * The Beach Advance, Beach, Golden Valley Co, North Dakota, June 27th, 1919 Died - - - - - Anna Laura Dodd was born October 11, 1880 in Iowa.

Trinklein Is Married At Belfield - - - - - United To Charming Lady Surrounded By A Host Of Friends - - - - - The Belfield Times give the following interesting account of the marriage last Thursday afternoon of Rev. Trinklein of Beach and Miss Ella G. Schlewitz of Belfield, and the good wishes therein expressed will be heartily echoed by the people of Beach. A very pretty wedding was solemnized at the St. Peter’s Lutheran church Thursday afternoon, when Rev. Herbert J. Trinklein and Miss Ella G. Schlewitz were joined in the holy bonds of matrimony by Rev. H. A. Faedtke, of Wheaton, Minn., a former pastor of the bride. The little church on the hill was crowded to the brim and between two and three hundred people were unable to enter the church to witness the ceremony. Both the contracting parties are well and favorable known in Belfield and throughout this section of the country. Rev. Trinklein is the son of Mr. and Mrs. John S. Trinklein, of Saginaw, Michigan. Rev. Trinklein attended the Concordia college and military academy of Fort Wayne, Indiana, 1906-1912, graduating in 1912; 1912- 1915, Concordia seminary, St. Louis, Missouri, graduating in 1915. Immediately after becoming a pastor he came to Beach, N. Dak., here he has made his home since that time. Rev.

F. Schlewitz, two miles east of town. Miss Schlewitz came to this country with her parents from Wheaton, Minn., in 1909. The old quotation, “to know her is to love her, none name her but to praise,” well fits Miss Schlewitz, and her friends are numerous and staunch. Capability and worth showed themselves in her every act and no one ever found her but in a sunny mood. The bride wore a beautiful gown of white gorgette crepe and carried a bouquet of pink roses. The attendants for the contracting parties were: Max and Olga Walz, Herman and Waldermar Schlewitz, Esther Gross and Louise Glade: flower girls, Evelyn Fuerstenau and Dorothy Fritz. The groom wore the conventional black. After the ceremonies the happy couple returned to the bride’s home, where they were congratulated by hundred of friends that came from all parts of Stark, Billings, Golden Valley, Dawson and Fallon counties. The day was happily spent by their many friends at the Schlewitz home. The happy young couple will make their home at Beach and may long life and prosperity bless them. On the wings of friendship and good will all Belfield joins with their many friends from else where in wishing them God speed in their journey through wedded life. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * The Beach Advance, Beach, Golden Valley Co, North Dakota, July 4th, 1919 Mr. and Mrs. Frank Kostelecky are the proud parents of a baby girl, Irene Isabelle, born June 27th.

Scott, had died that day at the home of her son, J. C. McCabe, in Fairfield, Iowa. Mrs. Scott lived in Beach about six years, only recently having been taken to Iowa by her son in the hope of restoring her health, which had been very poor for some time back. She was 69 years old. Her husband preceded her in death nine years ago at Waverly, Iowa, but she leaves three surviving children: Mrs. A. A. Wheeler of Springfield, Ills., Mrs. James Boyle of Fort Madison, Iowa, and J. C. McCabe. Mrs. Scott was well known in Beach and highly esteemed by all for her many sterling qualities, and will be especially missed in the Congregational church of which she was a member. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * The Beach Advance, Beach, Golden Valley Co, North Dakota, July 11th, 1919 Only Son of Lyman Page Meets Sad Death - - - - - Died In Strange Way While Playing With His Pet Dog - - - - - This community was again shocked last Thursday by a terrible mischance that caused the death of Webber Page, the only son of Mr. and Mrs. Lyman Page, well known people of the Golva neighborhood. It appears the little fellow was playing “circus” with his dog having a line attached to the dog and around his own neck in some way and when discovered by his agonized mother, was hanging dead from the reel of a binder near his home. Mrs. Page had seen him playing with the dog but a few moments before, trying to teach the dog some of the tricks the boy had seen at the circus a few days before, but how the line could get over the top of the reel is a mystery, unless the boy and dog had been on the binder and the dog jumping off pulled taut the rope around the boy’s neck and strangled him to death. Webber was a bright boy of 11 years and the idol of his parents, who singularly enough, lost their older son about four years ago through drowning in Bullion creek, a loss neither had recovered from when this second dreadful calamity overtook them. A world of sympathy has gone out to the stricken parents by their many friends and neighbors, the family being well known and esteemed all over the county, Mr. Page having been last year the candidate of the Independents for secretary of state. The funeral was held Friday and the brothers lie side by side in the Beach cemetery. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * The Beach Advance, Beach, Golden Valley Co, North Dakota, July 11th, 1919 Power - Bartley Wedding Is Social Event - - - - - Popular Young Couple Married Saturday and Leave For Carrington - - - - - The marriage of Miss Elizabeth C.

Arranged in the front pews were a large number of the groom’s companions in arms in uniform, former members of Company M, and these, with the uniforms of the groom and his groomsman gave the occasion a distinctive military character. The bride looked charming in white georgette with hat of the same material and carried a large bouquet of pink roses and baby breath fern. As stated, the groom wore the uniform of a sergeant in the United States army, in which he served in this country and France for nearly two years.

The bride is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Bartley and has lived in Beach since the family came 11 years ago from Dickinson where she was born. She has been a popular favorite in the younger set of the city and is possessed of many womanly charms that have endeared her to all who know her. The groom is a young man who has resided in Beach for a number of years, having been engaged in the clothing business until the war broke out, when he enlisted in Company M. and as said, did gallant service overseas, being one of the popular and efficient noncommissioned officer of his company. The young couple will reside for the present in Carrington, where Mr. Power will be manager of one of the United Consumers stores. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * The Beach Advance, Beach, Golden Valley Co, North Dakota, July 11th, 1919 Word was received Thursday evening of the death of Mrs. Alfred Benson, of paralyses.

K. Bowen Killed By E. W. Taylor - - - - - Killing Came About Over Attempt of Constable Taylor to Replevin Cattle Owned by D. R. Offley - - - - - In Fit of Anger Bowen Got Rifle From Barn and Aimed at Taylor - - Mrs. Bowen Opens Fire on Posse - - - - - M. K. Bowen, well known farmer living in the southern part of the county, was shot three times and killed Thursday evening, by Constable E. W. Taylor, while the latter was replaying cattle belonging to D. R. Offley, a neighbor of and taken up by Bowen. Taylor surrendered himself to Sheriff Pieraina late last night and he, Constanble J. Stark and George Jeffrey and Offley are now in the county jail awaiting the results of the corner’s inquest. Mrs. Bowen Shoots Also - - - - - - A sensational feature of the shooting was the part Mrs. Bowen took in the affair, she having fired at least eight shots at Offley and the constables as soon as the shooting at the barn began, but fortunately missed her marks. Offley Feared Bowen - - - - To tell a concrete story, it was said that bad blood has been brewing in the Bowen neighborhood for a number of years and fears of bloodshed have often been expressed by the people there. Several days ago Bowen took up some cattle of his neighbor Offley that had got into his pasture, and, according to the story of Offley in the county jail this morning, he feared to go to Bowen’s house to negotiate their return, word having come to him that Bowen had said he, Offley, would never leave the farm alive if he stepped on it, so Offley secured replevin papers and put them in the hands of Constables E. W. Taylor and J. Stark for service, and with George Jeffrey, accompanied them to the Bowen farm last evening. Taylor’s Story of Shooting - - - - - The following occurred at the farm, according to the story of Constable Taylor, and verified by Offley and others: “We met Bowen near his barn,” said Taylor, “and he asked: ‘What are you --,-- doing her?’ I served the papers on him. Bowen said we could have the cattle. Offley asked if the animals had been fed, and Bowen said they had, at which Offley said they did not look like it. Bowen flew into a rage and said: ‘I ain’t going to take any more - - -- off you s----b’s’ and started for the barn. Bowen Killed While Trying To Kill - - - - - - “I told him to stay where he was but be continued on, so I caught hold of him and said he mustn’t go into the barn, fearing he had a gun there, but he broke away, rushed into the barn and came out with a repeating gun in his hands, pumping a load into it. I then shot twice as he was raising the gun to shoot, but although both shots struck him in the left side, he was in the act of taking air at me when I fired the shot that killed him, and he dropped in his tracks. Fusillade of Shots From House - - - - - “Just at that moment firing began from another source and we discovered Mrs. Bowen at the house, about 15 rods away, firing at us with a rifle. We all ducked, but she fired at least eight shots, when Constable Stark got the drop on her with his rifle and she put down her gun, which I understand was found empty. I then telephoned the sheriff that I had shot Bowen and asked him to come down to the scene at once, when he did, taking us all into custody pending the coroner’s inquest. The shooting by me was done in self defense, as I was confident Bowen would shoot me if I did not get him first.” Offley’s Story - - - - - D. R. Offley said: “Bowen has tried to get me on his place for a year, and although some of my property was over there, I feared to go after it, having heard he was ‘laying for me,’ but I thought I would be safe if accompanied by the officers. When Mrs. Bowen began to shoot I jumped into a little creek but the bank was so low it gave little protection, and that Mrs. Bowen saw me there was plain from the fact that two or three bullets whizzed over me. When we first drove up Bowen saw a gun sticking out of Taylor’s pocket and said, ‘Don’t come around here showing off your authority to me,’ but I did not think he would attempt to shoot anybody until he came out of the barn with the gun and aimed it at Taylor. About the same time the firing began at the barn Mrs. Bowen opened up from the house and bullets whizzed all around us, and we all sought cover.” Sheriff and Coroner to Scene - - - - - About 10 o’clock last night Sheriff Pierzina, Coroner Rice and Dr. Maercklein drove down to the Bowen home and held an investigation, returning at an early hour this morning with the parties connected with the affair, but Mrs. Bowen, at the time of going to press, had not been taken into custody. Mrs. Bowen Here - - - - - Mrs. Bowen came to town early this morning and talked quite freely with others of the sad affair, but when The Advance asked for an interview in order to publish all sides of the case, a man stepped up and said: “Get out of here. This is my sister, and if you don’t get out I’ll interview you in a way you won’t like,” whereupon Mrs. Bowen said the testimony would be all given at the inquest and that she would rather not be interviewed. She was heard to state elsewhere that she rushed from the house with a sawed off shotgun when the trouble began, but could not work it, so ran into the barn and picked up the rifle used by Mr. Bowen and began shooting in defense of herself and home. It is reported she claims many shots were fired by the posse, but the members thereof deny this, saying the only shots fired on their side were fired by Constable Taylor. The Advance regrets that it cannot publish a statement by Mrs. Bowen from her own lips, as it has no other interest in the case than giving the fact, and facts only, to its readers. The inquest will be held at the Bowen home at 2 p.m. this afternoon. Was Shot Under Left Arm - - - - - According to Coroner Rice the three bullets entered the body of M. K. Bowen within a space of six inches and about the same distance below the left armpit and passed out of the right side in practically the same location. This not only disproves the statement widely circulated in some quarters, that Mr. Bowen had been shot in the back, but tends to prove the statement that Bowen had his arm raised taking air with the gun, as otherwise the bullets would have passed through his arm. M. K. Bowen was about 37 or 38 years of age and his wife is about 31. They have lived on their land a number of years, during which there has been strife and turmoil in the neighborhood, but whether or not Bowen has been responsible for it is not in evidence. He was recognized as one of the leading Socialists of the county and an ardent member of the Nonpartisan League, and in some quarters this fact is being made use of as a reason for the shooting, which does not at all seem justified by the facts. No Politics In It - - - - - The attempt to make a political matter our of this unfortunate affair is to be deplored by all good citizens, whose only desire is to see exact Justice done regardless of their political beliefs, and few knowing the facts, see any direct connection of the shooting with politics. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * The Beach Advance, Beach, Golden Valley Co, North Dakota, August 1st, 1919 Mr. and Mrs. Carl Rose are the happy . . . over the arrival of an eight pound son, born July 25th. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * The Beach Advance, Beach, Golden Valley Co, North Dakota, August 1st, 1919 Mr. and Mrs. W.

Raisler Killed While Trying Auto - - - - - Boys Fix Up an Old Kirtz Car and Make A Test Run on Saturday Night - - - - - Instant Death Meted to Young Man As He is Thrown From the Machine - - - - - - While out riding with his brothers in an overhauled Ford car, William Raisler, son of Mr. and Mrs. Lewis Raisler, of Thelan, met instant death Saturday night at 9:00 o’clock, on the road leading past D. D. Walde’s farm. It was a car with only a skeleton body. Joe, John and little Elmer were in front, while William and Stanley were in the rear. The road at that place was sideling and sprinkled with a few small rocks, striking one of which caused the car to swerve suddenly, throwing William overboard. Just what happened at this juncture no one will ever know. When the body was picked up it was apparent that death had been instantaneous, the skull having been fractured, the jaw broken and the head severely bruised. Telephone messages were sent the stricken parents and the father hurried to the scene of the tragic death. William Raisler was born in Chicaga (sic), Ill., October 30th, 1896 during the McKinley and Bryan campaign and was named William for McKinley. He came to Golden Valley with his parents over ten years ago and has resided with his father, a prominent Golden Valley farmer, during that time. During his attendance at the public schools he endeared himself to his teachers and schoolmates by his generous and kindly disposition. His death is mourned by his parents, four sisters and six brothers, all living here, the only one absent being Lewis, who was one of the first to enlist in Company M at Beach, and who after closing a most active service of something like a year and a half on the battle fronts of France, is now awaiting his discharge at Camp Lee, Va. With these also mourn the large circle of his acquaintances, with whom he was held in high esteem. A very large concourse of friends were present to pay their last respects to the promising young man at the last sad rites. Short funeral services were held at the house at 10 o’clock on Wednesday morning, then at the Thelan church, Rev. Richter of Sentinel Butte officiating, speaking words of comfort from the words found in Mathew 14-24. He was laid to rest in the Beach cemetery. William will be greatly missed in the community. He was a musician of unusual talent and took an active part in the music and singing at the Thelan church, giving generously of both his time and talent in the work of the church. His passing is a loss to the entire neighborhood, but our loss is his gain. The death is the first break in a family of eleven children and coming at a time when all were joyously anticipating the arrival of the absent brother and son who had manfully taken his chance on the submarine infested ocean and the rain of shot and shell at the battle front it makes the bereavement doubly heavy. The Advance joins with the entire community in extending sympathy to the bereaved family. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * The Beach Advance, Beach, Golden Valley Co, North Dakota, August 29th, 1919 Mr. and Mrs. George Ortron are the proud parents over the arrival of a baby girl, Bonita Marcelle, born on August 14th. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * The Beach Advance, Beach, Golden Valley Co, North Dakota, August 29th, 1919 Mr. and Mrs. Robert Russell, of Baker are the happy parents over the arrival of a son.

He is with the U.S. engineer corps, regulars, and will not be discharged for a year or more, but was granted a leave to visit this mother, not having seen her since he enlisted at the first outbreak of the war. Dan saw some very strenuous service in France and was near Howard Still of this county, when the latter received his death wound, and helped carry him from the field to the hospital. Dan says Howard died a hero’s death, having volunteered to carry a message away to the front to order the retirement of a detachment that was in a tight hole and subject to capture through a flank movement of the enemy. Howard had performed the mission that saved the detachment, and was returning to the rear when a shrapnel shell exploded near him, almost cutting him in two, but not killing him instantly. Dan and some other soldiers were near and picked up the dying soldier and took him through a hot fire to the rear. “Tell the folks,” was all that Howard was able to say. Howard was a nephew of J. M. Still. We understand an extension of time of absence has been granted to Dan and he is still with us. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * The Beach Advance, Beach, Golden Valley Co, North Dakota, October 3rd, 1919 Interesting News of Ollie Folks - Mr. and Mrs. Charles Hayden are happy parents over the arrival of a son, born September 22nd, at Sidney, Montana. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * The Beach Advance, Beach, Golden Valley Co, North Dakota, October 3rd, 1919 Late Sentinel Butte Happenings - Mrs. W.

Loebe had a birthday Monday and it was such an unusual event, as her sedate husband says, that it had to be celebrated. And it was. A large number of the Loebe friends gathered that evening at the Loebe home and from there proceeded in a body to the Callendar Hotel, where a general jollification started at once, only to be interrupted for a brief spell while a splendid dinner was enjoyed, during which Dr. Foster presided with grace and dignity as toastmaster and Deputy Sheriff Loebe preserved a due sense of decorum on the part of the guests. There were a large number of “whitty and enervating” speeches made by the assembled folks and to say that they had a good time is putting it mildly. But the best was yet to come. After the feast of reason and flow of soul, the tables were removed from the dining room, the music struck up a lively air and away the dancers went on a Marathon lasting far into the night, the one-step, two-step and waltz following each other in rapid succession. It was a joyous occasion, the happy event being in perfect consonance with the joyous nature of the gracious hostess and her no loss amiable spouse, whose ever- bubbling spirits led the others on till dull care was chased away into the brilliance of the coming day. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * The Beach Advance, Beach, Golden Valley Co, North Dakota, October 17th, 1919 Doings Of The People Of Golva - A little daughter arrived at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Ray Brier on Sunday, October 5th. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * The Beach Advance, Beach, Golden Valley Co, North Dakota, October 17th, 1919 Announcements have been received by several Ollie people announcing the birth of a son to Mr. and Mrs. John Dilley at Eaton, Colo. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * The Beach Advance, Beach, Golden Valley Co, North Dakota, October 17th, 1919 Sentinel Butte Happenings - Mr. and Mrs. G.

Kenyon Tries To Kill Luther Wells Then Suicides - - - - - Shooting Was Outcome of Long Standing Feud Between Neighbors - - - - - After Wounding Wells, and Thinking Him Dead, Kenyon Killed Himself - - - - - Last Friday morning as a result of a personal feud between two farmers of Wibaux county, Charles Kenyon shot and wounded Luther B. Wells in the hip and later committed suicide by shooting himself through the head. Wells was not dangerously wounded and was at once brought to Wibaux, and is rapidly recovering. As near as can be gleaned there had been a lack of good will between Wells and Kenyon for a long time, but they had kept away from each other. Friday, Wells was at the farm home of Wilson Grant when Kenyon came up, armed with a rifle. Grant went out and talked with him a short distance from the house, when Wells, who had borrowed Wilson’s rifle, also left the house and went toward his team rather prominently carrying the gun, and got into his rig. Kenyon then opened fire on Wells who returned it, but at the second or third shot Kenyon received a bullet in the lower part of the body. Wells, running out of ammunition, and notwithstanding his wound, ran to the granary, Kenyon keeping up a steady fire. Wells then sought shelter in the cow barn, where he fell exhausted from his wound. Archie Grant went into the barn, and coming out told Kenyon he had killed Wells and had better give himself up, and Kenyon mounted his horse and rode over to the home of Archie Quaale. In the meantime the authorities at Wibaux had been notified and the sheriff and deputies went out to the scene of the shooting and to Kenyon’s home, but in some way, in the darkness Kenyon evaded the officers, and going into his cow barn, shot himself through the head, being found there by the sheriff upon hearing the shot. Kenyon has been in ill health for some time and this, with the brooding over the trouble with Wells is thought to be the basis of the crime, for there is every evidence that the killing was to a large extent premeditated. Kenyon having recently deeded everything he owned to his wife. He was buried at Wibaux, the funeral being from the M. E. church, Monday. He came to Wibaux county several years ago from Illinois, and was always considered a peaceable man. Mrs. Kenyon was at the Quaale home when Kenyon arrived and he told her of the shooting, he then being under the impression he had killed Wells. He kissed his wife good bye before leaving Quaale’s and saying he never would be taken alive, told her to take good care of money he had left her. Mrs. Kenyon is prostrated over the sad affair. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * The Beach Advance, Beach, Golden Valley Co, North Dakota, November 28th, 1919 Romance Of Youth Ends In Glendive Wedding - - - - - The culmination of a boy and girl romance came last Monday when Raymond Noyes and Mary De Merse were united in marriage at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Max Baller, old friends, at Glendive, just as the clocks were striking one p.m. The bride and groom then took the train for Westmore to spend the honeymoon with Mr. and Mrs. Ed.
