four days.
Nellie Prendergast was born in st.

where she lived with her parents Mr..
and Mrs. j. B. Prendergast until they
m owed to South Dakota and established
their home in Webster in 1881 During
her life she was one of Webster's most
sought young ladies by all people-old
and young. She was comley, bright
and competent. During her fathers
term as postmaster she was his deputy
and by her accommodation and win.
ming manners became a great ~favorite
with the patrons of the office. When
J. T. Goodwin was elected county
treasurer he made Nellie Prendergast
his deputy and here by her zeal and
affability she added to her already large
list of friends and there was never a
more popular girl in Webster than
Nellie Prendergrst. On November 30,
1893, she was married to Irving u.
Grain and for some years they made
their home Oh a farm east of Waubay.
From Waubay the family moved to
Summit. In March 1908 the family
moved to Menango, N. d., where they
have since made their home.
In the family are four children,

Webster: one brother, John p. Prom
dergast, of Kathryn, N. D., and two
step sisters, Mrs. G. o. Bailey and Mrs.
Mrs. R. F. Williams, of Webster; and
friends innumerable to mourn her loss.
The deceased was n of those love-
able Christian women who endear
themselves to all with no effort on their
part, her disposition, her character, her
life were such that to know her was to
love her. Her demise has caused this
and every community where she has
ever resided the greatest grief and all
sympathize with the family in their
loss Of such a wife, mother, sister and
friend.
The remains were brought to Webster
and the funeral held from the Congre.
gational church, Rev. M. A. Martin
preaching a beautiful sermon. The
attendance spoke the wonderful affec-
ton of Webster people for the n who
had preceded them to the land Of peace.
All of the family were present at the
funeral services Sunday. Inter-
ment took place in the Webster Gene
etery.
