The herald-advance. (Milbank, S.D.) 1890-1922, 1902-06-20
DIED


In the city of Chicago, on Sunday, June Is, 1902.
at 5:l5 p. m, of a complication of appendicitis,
nephritis and peural difficulty, Mr.. Bertin d.
Gamble, of Milbauk. S. D., in the 9th year OF
his age.
The telegraphic announcement
that came to the friends of Ber-
tin D. Gamble making known his
death last Monday was a shock
to the entire community. While
it had been known that Mr.. Gam
BILE was not ply ysically strong of
late and that he had left his busi-
ness short time ago expecting
to recuperate by rest and possi-
bly, medical treatment, none sur
missed or expected that his illness
was serious or would prove fatal.
Mr.. Gam BILE located in Milbank
some four years ago, forming a
law partnership with Thad L.
Fuller, under the firm name of
Gam BILE & Fuller, and since that
time Mr.. Gam BILE had constantly
grown in the confidence and es-
TEEN of the com munity, filing
many positions Of trust and re-
sponsibility, and establishing
record as an able and successful
lawyer and public spirited citi-
zen. He was at the time of his
decease acting as states attorney
for the county, having been
elected without opposition more
than a year and a half ago, and
at the municipal election IN the
spring he was in like manner
elected a member of the city
council. His genial nature and
social qualities made him a most
valuable member of the various
civic and fraternal societies, and
at the time of his death he was
the Worshipful Master of Mil
bank lodge A. F. & A. M. With
this fraternity he had since his
early manhood closely identified
himself, and six months after
reaching his majority he had
taken the 32d degree of the Scot
tish rite, and the Knight Templar
degree in the York rite, a very
remarkable Masonic record. He
was also a member of the Modern
Woodmen of America, the Knights.
of Pythias, Ancient Order of
United Workmen, and was cap
tain of Company K, the local
militia company. From the as
sem blies and meetings of these
associations his presence and
genial personality will be sadly
missed.
Mr.. Gamble was born October
q, 1874, in Wisconsin, his par
ents soon after moving to Mar
shall, Mimi, where he attended
school until the family moved to
Ipswich, in this state, and later
to Bowdle, where he finished his
conn mon school education, and
afterwards attended Redfield
college, and returned from that
institution TO assist his father in
the bank of Bowdle. The elder
Mr.. Gamble being elected for
two terms as county treasurer
of Edmunds county, Berth took
charge of the Office and conducted
it in a most satisfactory manner,
and took up the study of law in
the office of G. H. Barron in Ips-
wich. He later went to Chicago,
became a student in the Kent
college of law, graduated from
that institution, and continued
the study and practice of his pro.
fession in the law Office of Walker
& Davis, of Chicago, leading cor
poration attorneys in the city.
Mr.. Emory S. Walker stated
that Mr.. Gamble was possessed
of one of the keenest legal minds
he had met with in young man
during his 25 years experience.
He came from Chicago in the
spring of 1898 and located in this
city, where he has since con-
tlnued IN the practice Of his pro-
fession.
Mr.. Gamble was married to
Miss Helen Howell, of Frederick,
May "a, 1899, and this wife and
an aged mother, the latter having
been bereaved of her husband
but few months ago, mourn the
loss of a husband and son whose
noble qualities and kindly heart
was ever manifest to them in the
close and tender relation in which
they were united.
The funeral was conducted
under the auspices of the Ma
sonic fraternity, the lodge taking
charge of the remains Tuesday
afternoon upon their arrival at
the depot and conveying them to
the home. The funeral service
was held Wednesday afternoon
at the Congregational church,
