1911. sSs.
Mrs. LaMoure was born at Lac Crosse,
Wis. and was 81 years, 8 months and u
days old at the time Of her death. She
had been i'll for about two years. Heart
disease was the primary cause. For
some years she and her husband have
spent most Of their time at Nisswa,
where they had cottage among the
pines and amid surrounding lakes, in
which climatic conditions Mr.. LaMoure
has found relief from the asthma from
which he has been sufferer for many
years.
Mrs. LaMoure was the eldest daughter
Of Hon. and Mrs. N. E. Nelson and in
her childhood lived with them in Mimi
esota. Her parents came to Pembina in
the early seventies, Mr.. Nelson being
employed in the customs service and in
which he continued until about three
years ago when he resigned from failing
health and with his remaining family re-
moved to San Diego, Cal.
Mr.. and Mrs. LaMoure were married
in 1874 and there have been born to
them six children, of whom three sons,
j udson Jr, William and Edward are the
survivors. Two of the children died in
infancy end the daughter Miss Matte
dying about five years ago. .
This brief family sketch IN itself.
Mrs. LaMoure as one of the very
early pioneers, not only of North Dakota
but of Minnesota. Her early childhood
was spent with her mother, while her
father was in the Union Army, when the
war-whoop of the Indians was dread
ed and not unheard sound. The terrible
Indian massacres of southern Minnesota
occurred near her early home. Even
after coming to Pembina for many years
there were but few white settlers and
they only in small settlements which

Mrs. LaMoure while taking her part
in church and social circles was essentl-
ally home woman. In her home she
was queen and Ler children, her hus-
band and her household her chief care
Her virtues were those of wife and a
mother and her memory will be most
fondly cherished by those who remem-
Der her as such.
When some great one of the world
dies; the chroncler may tell of the deeds
done by the one that is gone. The acts
of the great are public and can be recit.
ed by the writer as an eulogy. But the
deeds Of heroism, of care, of self sacri-
fee, of love and devotion given all
through the years of the life of the wife
and mother, are not of the sort that can
or ought to come to the public view.
But they are written in that great book,
whose contents will not be read until
the last great day, and then we may find
our truest and greatest heroes and
heroines among those of whom the world
never heard in their life time. But God
knows it all, and some who have been
close may also know in part and realize
to some degree.
The body was brought to this city for
the burial and the funeral was to have
been held on Tuesday, but the weather
was rainy and the services were deferred
until Wednesday. Rev. J. r. Campbell
of the Presbyterian church assisted by
Rev. H. H. Moore of the Methodist
church conducted the services. The
Presbyterian church was filled to over
flowing and there were present repre-
sentative friends of the family from
nearly every town in the county. APP
propriate music was rendered by the
choir.
After the impressive sermon by her
pastor, the sisters of the Eastern Star
rendered the beautiful ritual service of
that body assisted by Past Worthy Pat
ron H. G. Wick and Worthy Patron F.
G. Myrick.
The forial tribntes were profuse and
beautiful. Then the long procession
wended its way in the declining rays of
the autumnal sun to the cemetery where
they laid the mother with the children
that went before, and now the part of
the family circle over there stand hand
in hand waiting for the circle to be com.
pleted again in Gods good time.
It is only for us to add that the ex-
preston of sympathy for the beresved
ones is very full and generous. The
state press also add their solace of
sympathy for Mr.. LaMoure who is one
of the most prominent and best known
public men of the state.
The pail bearers were III. L. Holmes
Judge Wick, Albert Garrett, Aug. Short,
F. 9. Myriek and G. G. Thompson.
