Died.-Turner county is mourning
1 the loss of one of it's oldest and most
| respected settlers, Mr.. John Buchmil-
! lar, who passed to a happier home
| early on the morning of May Z at his
| residence in Swan Lake township.
Mr.. Buchmillar was born in Germany
and many years ago crossed the ocean
J and located in Grant county, Wis,
where he lived until he decided to
move further westward This was in
the early '70's, when John came to
Turner county and filed on a govern
ment homestead few miles west of
the old town of Swan Lake, where he
made his home until he breathed his
! last, and the love which the old
| pioneers and others held for him was
attested by the very large crowd of
| people who attended the funeral.
There was requiem high mass at the
Church of st. Joachim, Hurley, which
was celebrated by the Rev. John
O'Hora of Parker. Deceased was a
lifelong member of the church, and in
the early days of the church in Da-
| kota and contributed more, perhaps,
than any other man to the building
up of religion in his section of the
state.
Married.-Mr. William Engels and
Miss Minnie Schlingen were married
at the Sacred Heart church, Parkston,
on May 10 by the Very Rev. Dean
Reiland. The groom is stranger in
Hutchinson county, having only ar
rived there last winter from Canada.
The bride was born near Parkston and
since childhood has made her home
at that place.
The Franciscan Fathers will open a
weeks mission at st. Thomas church,
Madison, on June IL. This church is
perhaps the handsomest in the Sioux
rails diocese and cost about $4,000
all complete. 1t will be the first
church in the diocese to be conse-
Grated
1t is quite probable that a new
church will be built this summer at
washington Springs, Jerauld county
This is the terminal station of the
Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul line
running west from Egan and Madi-
son. washington Springs has thick
ly settled county and the Catholics
have hitherto been attended by the
tudist Fathers from Woonsocket
They intend to erect one of the most
commodious structures in that section
of the diocese.
A weeks mission will open at St.
Martins church, Huron, on May 21,
the Very Rev. Dean Desmond, pastor.
Father Feinler, who has been To-
Gated at White Lake for the past few
years has been assigned to Starr,
where he will take charge of ST. Peter
and Paul's church, left vacant by rea-
son of the death of the late lamented
Rev. John Hermeling. Starr is one
of the largest German parishes in the
diocese and has a fine church and
tiourishing parochial school conducted
by the Benedictine Nuns.
Buried.-The good people of Kings
bury county were panied to learn Of
the death of Mrs. Geo. Donovan, which
sad event took pace at Owatonna,
Mimi, on Sunday last. The deceased
lady made her home formerly in the
Matthews settlement, south of De Smet,
and about eight years ago moved to
Owatonna, where she ended her days
peacefully, same being due to heart
failure. The remains arrived at De
Smet on Monday night via the Chica-
go & Northwestern, and the funeral
occurred from st. Thomas church on
the following forenoon, where Dean
Hogan celebrated requiem mass. A
sorrowing husband and two children
mourn the loss of dutiful wife and
fond mother.
