DIES AT
ANTELOPE
Mrs. I. S. Undcrhill Succumbs
to Apoplexy After Brief
Illness. Remains Taken
Back to New York

The hand of the grim reaper has taken
another from the ranks of the pioneer
residents of Stark county in the death of
Mrs. T. S. Underhill of Antelope on
Monday, November E.
Mr.. and Mrs. UnderhilI were among
the most widely-known and respected
citizens of Western North Dakota, hav-
ing lived on their farm five miles south
of Antelope postoffice since 1884. Dur
ing all these years they have been sue
cessfully farming and stock raising and
have spent the greater number of the
winter seasons at different places in the
south and east. They also have beau
tiful summer home in the Allegheny
mountains in Pennsylvania. from which
place they returned on September 3Oth,
after spending the entire season in the
east.
Shortly after their return Mrs. Under
hill was suddenly stricken with an at
! tack of ap0plexy. and was under the
constant care of physicians and nurses
until the time of her death.
A simple service was held at the home
on Thursday afternoon, Rev. John
Orchard of Dickinson, officiating, and
on Friday morning all that was mortal
of Mrs. Underhill was taken to her old
home in St. townsville, New York, for
burial in the family lot beside her par
ents. Mr.. Underhil and Mr.. and Mrs.
B. Lepper accompanied the remains on
the long journey east.
Mary Gillette Hillegas was born on
farm in St. louisville, Montgomery Co..
New York state, on May i. 1887, and
resided there with her parents until her
marriage in 1862 to Mr.. Thomas Samuel
Underhill, who was then engaged in the
shoe and lumber business in Williams
port, which pursuit he followed about
20 years, or until he and Mrs. Underhill
came to North Dakota 27 years
ago. Mr.. and Mrs. Burdett Lepper,
the latter a sister of the late Mrs.
Underhill, came west the following year
and both gentlemen filed on homesteads
and purchased land in the Antelope vi
cinity.
Mr.. and Mrs. Underhill have been
public spirited and ever ready and
willing to assist, financially and other
wise. persons in need or to further any
public movement for the good of the
people. Mrs. Underhill was lady of
refinement and high morals and it was
always pleasure for her friends to visit
the ideal Underhill home and enjoy her
gracious hospitality.
Mrs. Underhill leaves besides her
husband, three sisters, Mrs. B. Lepper,
now of this city. Mrs. Milcena Walrath
and Mrs. H. M. Hyde of St. townsville;
three brothers. Chas. M. Hillegas and
Geo. R. Hillegas. also of St. louisville
and James Hillegas of Travers City.
Michigan. Two brothers and a sister,
with her parents, have preceded her to
another world. The entire family were
affiliated with the Reformed Dutch
church.
The loss of Mrs. Underhills influence
and friendship will be deeply felt in
this part of the state. where she had
spent so much of her life and the entire
community will bow in sadness with
the hubsand, who is left to finish life's s
battle alone
Mr.. Unde:hill and Mrs. Lepper will
remain in the east for the winter. while
Mr.. Lepper returns after a two weeks
stay.

PREPARING FOR

college, who has to his credit longer
tenure Of office than the head of any
other department at the college, is to
deliver the welcome address when the
Texas Farmers Congress meets at the
college during the latter part of July.
The selection of DR.. Francis to make
this address was by the college au-
thorities at the meeting of the heads
of various departments to arrange for
the entertainment of the congress, and
it was in recognition not only of his
long service but also of the great ben

a department for incubation against
Texas fever and against hog cholera,
and has been ready at all times to
give assistance whenever called on.
His life work has been at the college;
his children have been reared on the
campus, and day in and day out for
more than score of years he has de-
voted his efforts to helping the farmer
and teaching the boys who are to be
farmers. 1t is very fitting that he
should welcome these visitors. He
was here when the first farmers con-
gress was held, and in those days the
college was small and there were few
to take charge of the visitors, and DR..
Francis carried grips and suit cases
for the farmers who came to that first
meeting, and directed them to the
rooms they were to occupy while at
tending the meeting.
Charles H. Alvord professor of agri-
culture; E. j. Kyle, professor Of horti-
culture, and II. L. Mcknight, in charge
of farm crops department, are a COM
mittee to arrange meeting places for
the various sections of the congress.
More rooms will be needed this year,
as there will be more sections. The
rural mali carriers are to meet at that
time. the county school superintend-
ents and trustees, and the Texas Vet
Urinary Medical Association. These
are in addition to sections heretofore
belonging to the farmers congress.

dormitories at the college will be open
to the visitors and the rooms will be
designated by Mr. Spence, and it Is
to him that all requests for reserva-
