ductlng the funeral services. The
remains were laid to rest in Mount
Hope cemetery.
OBITUARY
Israel s. WEIGH was born in Della
ware county, Ohio, on November
IL, 1890. His early boyhood was
spent on the farm. While but a
boy the family moved to Missouri
where however they only stayed
short time, returning to Ohio,
settling in Van Vert county, wherr
they stayed till 1879. On March
%, 1852 Mr.. Welch was married to
Sarah Anna Bryant. Of this union
eight children were born, seven
still surviving. Mrs. Welch died
April II. 1890.
In 1879 Mr.. Welch decided to
move west, and IN April of that
year came to Codington county,
where he took up a homestead
about a mile north of Lake KAN
peska, known ever since as the
Welch farm. Mr.. Welch worked
on this farm until he became too
old to work and then his son War
rem took charge of the place. He
made his home with his son War
rem to the time of his death.
Mr.. Welch served for three years
in the civil war, and was a member
of the goth Ohio volunteers. He
was an honored member of the To-.
cal Freeman Thayer post Of the G..
A. r.
He left seven children to mourn
his loss: H. B. WeIch, S. A. Welch,

Paul, Albert WEIGH, Windfeld
Welch and Warren WEIGH. Robert
WEIGH died March II, 1878.
Mr.. Welch was a man of fine
character, highly respected by all
who knew him, and beloved of
those who came in closer contact
with him. He is one Of the old
pioneers of Codington, who went
thru the stress and hardships of the
early days, and these are rapidly
passing away. Each year takes its
share of these rugged old pioneers,
and soon they will all be gone and
only their memory will remain.
Like sentinels they stood faithful
ly at their post, till the call came.
and they went to serve on a high
er plane.

little birds. This would be dreary world IN

birds once built a nest in honeysuekle bush
that grew In front yard. o, how we
watched them bring bits OF twigs and grass TO
help make their babies bed. We had to watch
the old cat. too. for she would pry around. and
she did get them after all. We children had to
cry about Il. but that didn't bring them back

The above remarks were addressed by
Recorder BrOyles to A Samuels and n.
T. Connauy in police court during their
trial Saturday morning. The remark grew
out of the recent agitation over the fall

those who are tried in the city court. The
recorder binds over many for violating
the prohibition law. but only a very few
of them are convicted in the higher courts
All deny that they are responsible for the
failure to convict except the juries, and
the blame has beer placed on them.
