MIR. Cahill is true blue republican.
one who has done much for the party and
for men who do moi appreciate his efforts
in their behalf
He is one of those who regards public
office as a public trust and not private

enough to know the condition and needs
of the county and if elected will do his
duty as he sees it, As it is impossible to

Golden Valley chronicle. (Beach, Billings County, N.D.) 1905-1916, 1908-06-19

Thomas A. Cahill, republican candidate
for clerk of district court. was born in
Jackson county. Iowa April II, 1873.
His people were pioneers in the Hawkeye
state, and in the dark days of 1861 when
the life of the nation was threatened, five
Of them responded to the call of President
Lincoln for troops, and were engaged in
many of the bloodiest battles of the civil war.
In 1854 his parents removed to Sac
county and purchased $50 acre farm
near Sac City where they still reside, and
where the subject of this sketch spent 10
years of his youth and early manhood.
Being the eldest of large family and
his parents being poor in those days, he
had little chance to secure an education,
but his time was not idly spent during the
few weeks of each winter that he was al
lowed to attend school, In 1894 he at
tended a commercial college in Omaha
earning his expenses while there by de-
liyering the Omaha World Herald and
the Bee to subscribers in the city, and
collecting on Saturdays.
The following year he attended Highland
Park college at Des Moines, taking the
elective normal and commercial course
He taught several successful terms Of
school after this but continued his farm
work during the summer months. He has
always taken An active part in politics and
when twenty four years of age was elect
ed township clerk of his home township
The following year he was induced to be-
come candidate for sheriff of Sac county,
and although he won the nomination on
the 9th ballot in the county convention at
Wall Lake, Iowa, yet. he was defeated, to-
gether with all his associates on the ticket,
at the election in November. The follow
ing year he accepted a position with the
W. ]. Dixon Lumber Company of Sac
City. and opened up the first lumber yards
in the towns along the c. g. NJ. & Saint P.
Railway in Sac County The next year
the Dixon Company sold their yards to the
!. & w. c. Shull Lumber Company and
Mr.. Cahill was offered and accepted the
position of local manager of an elevator
tor S. +. 'kurtz 4 Co.. now the Iowa Grain
and Mountaineering Company at No,tham.
There was no bank in this town then and
the farmers were paid cash for their grail,
instead of checks and the company had
such complete faith in his honesty thai
Mr. Cahill was never ask or required to
give bond although he did practically all OF
the grain business of the town and handled
thousands of dollars of the company's
money. Ill health compelled him to re
sign his position with the elevator company
the resignation was reluctantly accepted
byS. +. kurtz auditor and general man
ager, and in 1902 Mr. Cahill came tc
North Dakota and Billings county. Hi:
activity here has been less strenuous thar
in his former home, and he has devoted
much of his time to teaching school anf
studying law.
He has taught at Sand Greek, Frybruc

and enjoys a wide acquaintance all owe,

RIvEsvILLE

RIVESVILLE, Jan. 20.-Mrs. Maria
Walton. widow of Joseph Walton, OF
Monongalia county. died at the home
of her daughter Mrs. Jesse Brock, on
Rivesville rural route number one, on
Saturday last. January 2Sth, 1908.
Deceased was in her eighty-third year.
She was a remarkable specimen OF
womanhood. being Of more than the
ordinary of her sex as to activity
and strength. She is survived by two
children, namely. Mr.. Eliza Walton, OF
the First ward. Fairmont, and Mrs
Brock, at whose home she was stay
ing when the death summons came
which ended her mortal career. De-
ceaseds maiden name was Maria East
burn. She was the only surviving
member Of large family. Interment
was made in the Arnettsville Gene.
terry, Monongalla county. She has
been a consistent member of the
Christian church for more than fifty
years.
Several families of this section will
begin the re-interment Of their deaf
during this month and will remove
them from the various places OF burial
to Oak Lawn cemetery. The new
cemetery is one mile from Rivesville
on the Fairmont and Morgantown pike.
Oak Lawn cemetery Is on the waters
Of Pharaoh's run, near the old Mus
grave cemetery. The ground which
I has been prepared and arranged for
the new cemetery was purchased from
Mr.. Emery Baker, of Pharaoh's run,
at handsome but not an eXtortion'
ing price as owing to the location and
and accessibility it was worth the
price paid for other purposes and well
Mr.. Baker knew it, but to encourage
the feelings OF the public on line OF
refinement and enlightenment. He
made reasonable and neighborly
sacrifice of the property for the above
named purpose.
The literary society at this place
has started OFF in gallon. Last FIJI
day night was the first meeting and
good attendance, good order and
plenty of vim was the order of the oc
casion. Look out for next Friday
night a big programme.
We note in Saturdays issue of the
West virgiuian the photos of Mr.. Sol
shulder. the PittsbuEg detective, and
the opeFiska murderers as we'll as
others connected with the AFFAIR, but
we fail to see or hear anything said
about the home talent and the Lands
blood hounds who most assuredly
played a very important part in the
detective work as well as the arrest
of perhaps as dangerous trio of out
laws as has ever been apprehended in
this section of country. 1t is useless
to go into details or to name the homa
talent as far as Marion county is con
cerned as great many know who
played the most important part, first
