FEELS A PERSONAL LOSS

Editor Republican: After reading
in Mondays paper the tributes to
the late N. L. Dawson, | felt like
saying something of the mar [ have
known so long, I've since my early
boyhood days. | grew up in the
little town of Castillo, N. Y, and
have known Mr.. Dawson ever since
l vas old enough to remember any
one. My fathers meat business was
lex door to the Dawson Bros hard
ware establishment for ten years. |
can look back and remember how l,
when a boy from Z to II years, used
to notice the manly traits and bust
ness qualifications of N. L. Dawson.
l was but a mere boy then, but |
noticed it,-couldn't help but notice
it and have thought of it hundreds
of times since. He was the same
energetic man then as you have all
seen him here in Mitchell-always
on the alert and attentive to tusi-
ness, constantly at his business from
morning till night, and a better
salesman in a retail business never
stepped behind a counter. You all
know his energy and disposition as
a business man here in Mitchell. and
dispositioned as he was, the mental
strain on the man was no doubt the
u of his being taken from US, but
N. L. Dawson was built that way
and he couldn't help it. He has
been a friend that ! have %appreciat-
ed in more ways than one, and we
feel that we have lost a very dear
personal friend. Some may. think
from his strict way Of doing business
and his attentions to business that
he was living for the almighty dollar
and nothing else. but that is a mis-
taken idea, and | want to say that a
man carrying on a banking business
can't be otherwise than strict. His
disposition was such that while he
had a business to run it had got to
be run right. No two ways about it,.
and he calculated TIC be there and
himself know that it was run right
a method which he could see clearly
would bring him success and put
confidence in those with whom he
dealt, the fruits Of which the people
OF Mitchell we'll know. But he has
gone back to that old home to rest
from all his ...labors. When the train
bearing his remains slows up at the
Erie depot l can see the funeral
party and the many old friends and
acquaintaintances that will meet
them there; see them slowly march
down Main street to the corner at
the old Methodist church, then turn
to go out to the cemetery where they
will lay all that is mortal of n. L.
Dawson, the man we all admired
here in Mitchell and whom We'll
miss so much. Bert Morgan.

l am sure that / voice the sentiment
OF the city as a whole when | saw
that we bow our heads in mourning
at the loss of one of our broadmind-
ed citizens whose place it Will lie
hard to ill.
II. r. Kibbee: My acquaintance
with N. L.. Dawson dates with his
fist coming to Mitchell, and our
business relations have brought us
into contact during all those wears.
Fer his business ability, his honor,
his integrity ! have always had the
greatest admiration and respect.
The splendid success that has come
10 him has been acquired by a devo-
tion to business that is seldom en-
countered. His death is IA distinct
loss &c Mitchell and her business in
terests and the state and what he
has done in the upbuilding and de-
velopment of the city will stand as a
monument to his fealty to Mitchell!
and her people.
l.. q. Gale: In the death of n.
l.. Dawson l feel a deep personal
loss. Having been associated with
him during the past years in a num-
Der of public enterprises ] have had
occasion to note his splendid char
acteristics as Il man of business. In
all my experience | have ever met
one whose thoroughness. whose self
application and trustworthiness bore
the successful fruits as has been the
case with MI. Dawson. In N. L..
D%avison's personal character there
were splendid traits that never came
within public view and it is these
which endeared him to me and SOL
idi.ied a friendship which has always
been a pleasure to me. | sincerely
mourn the death of this excellent
and noble man and regret beyond
expression that the hand of death
could not have been stayed and per-
mitted him to round out in its full
ness the life he was pursuing.
The Mitchell capital. (Mitchell, Dakota [S.D.]) 1879-1918, 1904-03-04

L. G. Burns: N. L. D"avison's
death brings sadness to every citi-
zen's heart. Aside from the fact that
he was a wideawake business man,
he was always ready to do his pavt
toward the %uphuilding of Mitchell.
