Mrs. Mary Foster Bryner, who is
representing the National Sunday
School Association, is about to make
tour of South Dakota in the interest
of better Sunday Schools. She is a
charming speaker and an experienced
Sunday School worker and contrib
utor to leading Sunday School pub
lications. Some who have heard her
say she is worth going five hundred
miles to hear. AS she can give but
>ten days to the State, Milbank is
exceedingly fortunate in securing her

Death Of Mrs. IIcaIy's Mother
and Brother

We have received copy of
the Blue Earth County Enter
prise, printed at Mapleton,
Mimi, giving the obituaries of
Silas W. Cornell and Mrs. Anna
Cornell brother and mother of
Mrs. E. S. Healy of this city.
The mother and son died within
a few hours OF each other. From
the obituary notices we take the
following excerpts:
Silas w. Cornell was born July 2Sth,
1916 in the state of Indiana. While
but lad his parents moved to Mime
sofa locating at Old Mapleton. He
was the father of six children, five
boys and one girl, who together with
his wife survive to mourn the death of
kind father and good husband.
Mr.. Cornell came from a family of
patriots, he and his three brothers all
participating in the government SER
vice. The deceased was member of
Company E, First Regiment of Mount
ed Rangers and served under f.
Julian Cox. The life of the Cornell
family is closely woven in with the
early history OF MapletOn and SilaS
contributed his part to make it inter-
esting, always taking a wideawake in
terest in matters of public nature. and
in his death Amboy and Blue Earth
county have lost a good citizen and
one who will be missed, not only in
the family circle but in business
circles as well.
Mrs. Cornell had been in poor
health for some time but did not quit
work or take to her bed until about a
week ago. She gradually failed but
it was not necessary to call for a
physician until Tuesday as she suf-
fered no pain and was opposed to
having doctor.
Mrs. Cornell was one of the pioneers
of this section of the state, coming here
only two or three weeks after the
colony which located in this locality
in 1886, in fact the first town meeting
ever held in Mapleton township was
held on wood pile in her front door
yard, April 2nd, 1861. Her husband,
the late James Cornell, who passed
away Sept. 2nd, 1894, preached the
first sermon in Mapleton township
and Otficiated at the first funeral.

him last Saturday. While he

bank doing their trading little
son aged nine years and a daugh-
ter agd seven, who were left in
charge Of an older sister, went
out to play, and wandering to
the creek near by, ventured on
the ice and broke through. The
older sister had attempted to
find the children, and when the
parents returned home they
supposed they had gone to some
of the neighbors. but upon find
ing that this was not the case, a
search was instituted and the
hand sled which the children
had been playing with, was found
upon the ice, and at an opening
in the ice the body of the little
boy was found, while the body
VI llle lltGle girl ndu Deen carried
by the current several rods
down the stream. The indi-
cations were that the boy Ernest,
had been hauling his sister Lille
on the sled and had broken
through the ice, and the girl had
gone to his assistance and also
went down.
