By the death of Benjamin A. Kidder,
which occurred Dec. I'd, this town loses

! parents in 1921. Out of family of nine
children, two brothers and two sisters
now survive him. He has resided here
since coming here almost continuously.
When the family moved into town they
came with an OK team, and it took twelve
days to make the journey, time enough
at present rate of travelling to cross the
continent and return. The family endur-
ed great hardships for several years, in
the then almost unbrOken wilderness re-
gion of this town and county. Mr..
Kidder was a steady and industrious man

sided for over forty years. His estima-
