why he had ordered the Machias to cruise

to the westward and make observations as
to the situation in Haiti, and by making
a circuit of the island return to San Do

ceased was a member, was the minis
ter selected. He preached an able

concourse Of friends who lad assem-
bled to pay their last respects to the
departed. Burial took place on
Wednesday.
Deceased was native of the state
of New York. He followed the wake
of western homeseekers until he set
tied in Minnesota, where he resided
for quarter of a century. He set
tied on homestead in this county in
1885 and has resided here ever since.
He Is survived by wife who has
shared his joys and sorrows for half a
century, and five children all grown to
maturity, and who are useful and re-
spected members of society. They
are Mrs. Alonzo Morris and Henry
Boyington, who live south Of town;
Mrs. ]. Ingersoll, of Sank Center,
Minnesota; Mrs. Hattie I. Weeks, OF
Brainard, Minnesota, and Mrs. N. e.
