Death OF George Radtke
4 Promising Young Man Passes Away.

George August Radtke, below
ed son of Mr.. Frederick Radtke.
and his wife Christine, was born
August11, 1885, near Watertown,
Codington County, S. D., and
died in the Watertown hospital,
from blood poison, Septem Der
20, 1911, at the age of 26 years.
month and 10 days. He had
been suffering during the last
two or three months from boils,
still his death came as a shock to
his parents and the family as
we'll as the entire com munity.
In 1895 the family moved to
Grant county, locating near Mil
bank, where they are well and
| favorably known His future
was bright aud promising, for
he was pious, bright and ener-
getlc young man, having a large
circle Of friends and associates.
The general admiration and high
esteem he had won was fittingly
demonstrated by the unusually
large attendance at the funeral
services on Monday, held at the
Grant Center church, where he
was an attendant. Friends and
relatives had gathered, not only
from the ina % ediate vicinity, but
from his former home at Water
town. Those from a distance
were Mrs. G. Brokow and her
daughter, and aunt and a cousin
of the deceased, both from Able
man. Wis. Mrs. Aug Fromke,
sister of the deceased, residing
at Waubay, had left home and
could not be notified of the funer-
al. The remains were laid to
rest in the Grant Center GENE
terry, while large concourse of
friends stood by with bowed
heads, paying respect to one
whom they loved. The decora-
tions and floral offerings were
appropriate and profuse. Ear
nest Arndt, Edward Keller, Rob-
ert Seigert, Harry Rehnke, John
Ernst and Albert Zick, all init
mate friends of George, acted as
pall-bearers. The choir from
the Twin Brooks church furnish
ed the music and rendered most
appropriate selections. Rev. F.
H. Brock mueller conducted the
services and preached the ser.
mon from the words, "What is
your life?' emphasizing the
brevity of life in this present
world, and hence the Importance
of looking for something more
substantial elsewhere.
He leaves parents and four
brothers and four sisters, besid-
es many other relatives, and a
large circle of friends to mourn
his departure. The Radtke fam
lily have the heartfelt sympathy
Of the entire community IN their
sorrow and bereavement. X

look for peace and concord and some
measure Of content. There are
enough battles to fight outside, enough
Earring and jostling in the street,
enough disputing in the market place.

tention in the realm of the inner life

an end of strife. Friendship is the

had been having an ocean bath, and
breaking away from his older sister
he ran all dripping wet to the door Of
the living room, where Mrs. Graham
was entertaining q caller from the
fashionable hotel.

him, you mustn't come in here like
that, dear. Go straight upstairs and
take off your bathing suit first
A few minutes later Mrs. Graham
turned toward the door in curiosity
as to what sight there had sent her
visitors eyebrows up so high, and IN
the same moment her sons cheerful
voice rang out:

told me to. I'm coming in now for
