The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1897-03-11

For several years the deceased was
superintendent of the extensive farm
Of Capt Henry A. Castle Of st. Paul,
now slated to be first assistant poet
master general. He gave perfect sat
isfaction while serving in that capaci-
ty and it was with great deal Of re-
luctance that Capt. Castle parted with
him. He returned to Redwood Falls
and resided here until Hon. G. D. Gill
tillan commenced developing his farm
east of the city. Mr.. Gilfillan wanted
superintendent and he engaged Mr..
Ruter as soon as the latter would ac-
cept. George acted as superintendent
of that farm of immense acreage and
extensive fame until last year, when
he was succeeded by Charles GilflIan,
son of the proprietor. It was during
his latter years of service for Mr.. Gil
fillan that the latter remarked: Il
have never seen man that could fill
the place so satisfactorily; neither do
I expect to ever secure one."
Since his retirement from the Gill
fillan farm Mr.. Ruter has been max
ing his home with Till Tibbetts, the
friend Of his youth. Occasionally he
grew despondent and it was in these
moods of despondency that life seemed
to have no charms for him. But he
would brighten up rapidly and the
world was as welcome to him as re-
tirement had been before. The boys
of early Redwood of whom he always
held a tender remembrance, will re-
member him with the tenderest mem
ories for his kind deeds of youth and
his never intentional wrongs. It can
be said of him that no man was his
enemy.
And here, where his youth was spent
in happy hours he lies buried while
his spirit is exploring the regions of
the great beyond.

DEATH OF 6. w. RUTER.
Died in St. Paul After Three Days
Illness.

George w. Ruter died at the st.
Joseph's hospital in st. Paul at three
o'clock last Thursday afternoon.
Death was due to gastric neuralgia Of
the stomach and liver, and the patient
was unconscious for "a hours prior to
his death.
Mr.. Ruter left Redwood Falls. four
weeks ago yesterday for st. Paul,
where he proposed to spend a couple
of weeks either visiting with his broth
or, H. V. Ruter, or with friends in
that city. His stay was longer than
anticipated and on Monday evening OF
last week he went to the home OF his
brother and was shortly afterwards
obliged to take to his bed. A physi-
clan was called the same evening, and
the latter thought that there was no
immediate danger. On the following

he said that the patrons of the cream
cry we're in the Garden of Eden-that
Redwood county was we'll adapted to
butter interests. The butter maker,
Mr.. Graham, was giving perfect salts
faction and the secretary had the finest
set of creamery books in the north
west. He spoke of Mr.. Dornberg's
interest in the creamery, and said that
inasmueh as the association was no
longer baby and was able to pay its
way, the secretary was entitled to a
small salary.
In the course of some succeeding
remarks the statement was called out
from Secretary Dornberg that the in
crease of business was one-third larger
than last year; that $400 in excess of
the regular $1,000 Indebtedness had
been taken up, and that $3.50 of new
machinery had been paid for. He
thought that the creamery would pay
500 per month for the next twelve
months towards taking up its indebted
ness, thus bringing that down within
the range of the insurance.
Clark Miller thought that a great
deal of the success of the creamery
was due to the excellent business
management. eff we we're in the
Garden of Eden we could not have
success unless we had good business
management, such as we have," he
continued.
Here the motion to pay the secretary
was referred to the Board of Directors
with power to fix the salary. Later it
was fixed at $75 per year.
Mr.. Dornberg appreciated the spirit
of the expression and believed that
Redwood county was no longer in that
predicmanet where It was question
of raising wheat-but of raising COWS.
In good dairy district banks have a
dull business for the reason that there
is plenty of money. He congratulate
ed the stockholders on the overcoming
of the adage that it was difficult to
get farmers to hold and work togeth-
or.
Here several stockholders expressed
their appreciation of the work of The
GAZETTE in the dairy interests. Each
patron of the creamery was also re-
quested to hand to the secretary the
average number of COWS kept last year
and also the increase in the value oil
the COWS, both from the butter stand.
point and the stand dpoint of calves.

It was decided to build brick
chimney at the creamery during the
ensuing year. The stockholders also
accepted the invitation of G. D. Gilfl-
Ian to have meeting in this city in
the near future in the interests of both
the dairy as we'll as the market COW.
John L. Gibbs and other speakers will
be present. An attempt will also be
made to have Prof. Theo. Louis, the
well-knoyn hog lecturer, present dur
ing the meeting.
Immediately after the meeting Of
stockholders had adjourned the Board
of Directors held meeting and elect
ed Andrew Stewart President, Chas.
Brewster vice president, O. L. Dorm
berg secretary, G. W. Lussenhop
treasurer, Bank of Redwood Falls de-
pository and Messrs. Miller, Smith
and March trustees. The stockhold-
ers then adjourned.
During the course of the stockhold-
ers' meeting Secretary Dornberg read
statement showing the comparative
cost of manufacturing butter of the
Iowa and southeastern Minnesota
creameries and the Redwood Falls
creamery. The figures we're taken
from statistics furnished by officials OF
each creamery company and it develop
ed the astounding fact that Of the en-
tire lot of crack creameries taken as a
basis only one of them, the Geneva
creamery, manufactured butter at a
less rate than the Redwood Falls
creamery. The table is as follows:

HEART TO HEART.
An Eight Years Courtship Crowned
in Med1OCk.

At the house of the brides mother,
Mrs. s. Russell, Tuesday evening,
Minnie B. Hiatt was joined ID marriage
to Fred. B. March. The ceremony
was performed by Rev. John Sinclair.
Only the Hiatt and March families
we're present, but these consist of
goodly number of members, all of
whom we're in the best of spirits.
The hour fixed for the marriage was
8 o'clock. Twenty minutes to that
hour the bridegroom and minister
drove up to the house together and a
few minutes later Mr.. and Mrs. March
and their whole family. When wraps
had been laid aside and all the mem
bers of the gathering assembled, the
minister and the young couple stimuli
taneously rose together anG hush
fell on the conversation. Though it
seemed an hour or more to the couple
most concerned, it did not take more
than six minutes by the clock to get
through with the ceremony which
binds while life lasts.
That was the consummation of
courtship of eight years. Boy and
girl they we're then. Fred. went into
the army, but the mail and a furlough
now and again, kept Cupid's fire burn
ing. The bridegroom was determined
to make the most of life for the sake
of his fair fiancee. Four years ago he
conceived desire to study medicine
and was encouraged by the hospital
doctors at Fort Niobrara where he
was stationed; entered the hospital as
nurse and took lectures meanwhile.
He got his discharge from the army
month ago and with it his doctors pa
pers permitting him to practice as a
medical man and has already secured a
good location at Springview, Nebraska.
When DR.. Fred B. March stood be-
fore the altar last night, six feet tall,
dressed in Prince Albert suit and
cream wedding tie, he looked a fine
specimen of youth. The handsome
and beautiful bride who stood beside
him seemed perfect in every particular
and Mrs. Thomas March said of her,
"She is just as good az she is pretty"
Her dress was of cream Henrietta with
chiffon trimming on the neck and
sleeves, with an afaire d'amour bow
on the left side. Her hair was put up
in negligee fashion and could not have
been improved by any species Of orna-
mentation.
On Monday next the doctor and his
bride will leave for their future home
in Nebraska with more promise of hap
piness and prosperity in their lives
than that which is the lot of many.

funeral across the street, he arose
from his bed, went to the window, and
expressed wish that the corpse was
his instead of some other person. It
was with some difficulty that Mrs.
Ruter, formerly Miss May Bent of
this city, persuaded him to return to
his bed. He continued sinking and
on Wednesday morning the physician
recommended his removable the hospi-
tai. The ambulance came in the af-
ternoon, after George had passed into
state of unconsciousness, and re-
moved him to the hospital. The faith
or was at his bedside in the hospital at
frequent intervals prior to his death
but it was impossible for him to get a
single word of recognition out of his
son. Shortly before three o'clock
Thursday he was gasping hard for
breath and at three o'clock sharp the
light of life was snuffed out and the
soul had passed into the great beyond.
The body was brought to this city
on Saturday, and taken in charge of
by the members of Antiquity Lodge
A. F. & A. NJ, of which the deceased
was member. It rested in II. n.
Bells undertaking rooms, in charge
of the lodge, until Sunday afternoon
at two o'clock, when it was escorted to
the Methodist church where funeral
services were held over it, Rev. T. A.
Jones of that church officiating. The
casket was covered with numerous
floral offerings from Charity Chapter
No. 35, Order of the Eastern Star, of
which the deceased was also mem-
ber, by a committee consisting of
Mesdames Ward, Bell and Finn. Af-
ter the services at the church it was
taken to the Redwood cemetery and
placed in its last resting place in the

George Ruter was little over 80
years of age. He was born. in Bloom
ington, ILL.,. and was one of a family of
three boys and two girls, one brother
and one sister, with the mother, hav-
ing preceded him to the grave. He
came to Minnesota with his parents
and in 1867, when there was practic-
ally little or nothing in this town, he
settled here with the Ruter family
His father became interested in the
milling property now owned by A. c.
Burmeister, and George helped in the
mill more or less. Later on he was
in the employ Of Till Tibbetts and
James Durtnal on their farm in Vesta
township, and while there he took q
homestead west of that farm. To this
he afterwards added another quarter
section.

After successful operations at Johan-

for Brown for $50, 900, with $5,OOO

to erect q stamp mill. The syndicate
