DEATH AT NORTH FREEDOM.
A Former Narrows Prairie Resident
Summoned Beyond r1onday
Evening.

Mrs, Prussia Knapp, wife of Comfort
III. Knapp of North Freedom, died on
Monday evening at o'clock. Forsome
months she had not been in good
health and on Saturday was stricken
with paralysis. From this she did
not rally and death came as the day
was passing into the night. Mrs.
Knapp was one of the most highly re-
spected and we'll known citizen in
that part of the county and had many
friends who deeply regret her being
summoned into the great beyond.
Mrs. Knapp was born in Vermont,
My II, 1880. About 1854 she came to
Narrows Prairie west of Ableman and
later moved to North Freedom.
Mrs. Knapp was member of the
Methodist church. She is survived by
-four sons and two daughters:
Frank Knapp, Lewiston, Idaho.
Edward Knapp, Twin Falls, Idaho.
Walter Knapp, Spokane, Wash.
M. A. Knapp, North Freedom.
Mrs. James B. Randall, Reedsburg.
Mrs. Frank Morley, Baraboo.
She is also survived by three broth
ers and three sisters:
A. M. Fisk, North Freedom.
w. N. Fisk, North Freedom
c. w. Fisk, Tomah.
Mrs. Martha Carpenter, North Free
dom.
Mrs. Mary Burt, North Freedom.
Mrs. Phebe Barnhart, North Free
dom.
She is also survived by p grand
children and % great-grandchildren.
Last October Mr.. and Mrs. Knapp
celebrated their sixtieth wedding anni-
versary.
An Unusual Experience.
Perhaps the most unusual expert
ence in the life of Mrs. Knapp was the
crossing of the plains to Idaho. About
1867 the family left Reedsburg with an
OK team and travelled at a slow pace all
the way to Idaho, reaching there in
October. All have read of the expert
ences of pioneers in crossing the plains
and no doubt the journey OF the fami-
ly was not unlike many others-full of
hardships and privations. There were
savages to keep away and rivers to
cross.
/ After residing there for five years
they returned, but were able to come
by rail after they reached Omaha,
which was then on the borderland of
the locomotive.

SALOONS CLOSED
SABBATH DAY
FIRST TIME PORTAGE HAS EVER
HAD A DRY SUNDAY.
portage Democrat)

Portagel was a dry town Sunday,
March q, 1909. Remember the date.
Sixty years ago Portage was founded.
It has always sat quietly and peace
fully between the banks of the raging
Wisconsin and the weedy Fox. It's
citizens! have passed from one stream
to the other, but any day of the week
they have been able, during the sixty
years, to just drop in on their way
from one to the other ndquench their
thirst, to keep themselves fresh be-
tween the streams. Yesterday it was
different.
Evangelist Slough and his corps Of
assistants have, during the last three
weeks, been whacking away vigorous
ly at the ''awful" conditions in Portage
and the open Sunday saloon seemed to
be the most visible thing to whack at.
A petition, some three hundred strong,
wass presented TO the mayor Saturday
and he presented it to the common
council. After referring it to the
council as a committee and taking a
hot shot at the evangelists he must
have had slight change of heart, for
under his instructions, Chief of Police
Klabunde went the rounds of the sa-
looms and told them to close up. They
did, and thus new record was made
for the city of Portage.
The Democrat has heard of no deaths
or other calamity as the result of the
action of the mayor and the evangelists
combined. Everybody seems to be
well and happy. Saloon-keepers all
seem to be good natured; preachers all
seem to be good natured. A few of the
thirsty ones were busy all day Monday
trying to make up for what they lost
Sunday, but on the whole the new ex-
perience seems to have worked very
well. In revival meetings it is usually
said that those that "come forward"
don't last very long in their forward
movement. We hope that this will
not be the case with the fellows that
closed Sunday. They have ''gone for
ward,n now stay forward and save
yourselves before it becomes everlast-
ingly too late. Let conscience and
not the evangelists govern your action.
