Herman Mcmahon died at his
home in this city, August 7, 1911, at
the age of nearly 40 years. Mr..
Mcmahon was born on the old home
stead in the town of River Falls,
Sept. 6, 1862, was educated in the
schools of this city, has been engage
ed in farming since 1890 till three
years ago he moved to town owing
to i'll health. He leaves wife and
four children, son Martin, daughters
Lora, Blanch and Veronica as his
own immediate family besides his
brothers, Patrick Mcmahon ofRiver
Falls, Henry Mcmahon of Maiden
Rock, John Mcmahon of Plum City,
and sister, Mrs. VIM. Foley of the
town of River Falls. After receiv-
ing the consultations of religion ad-
ministered by Rev. FIR. Hopdegard,
he died with prayer on his lips
and his soul was set free from its
tenement of clay. He died peacefully
and apparently at rest. A death
like sleep, gentle waiting into
immortal life"
The funeral services were held
from the Catholic church on the 9th
day of August, Rev. Father Hopde-
gard officiating, and amid the
prayers Of numerous relatives and
friends his remains were laid to rest
in that place known as the leveler
of distinctions, the grave, there to
remain till the silver lining of dark
clouds of death may be raised and
then we may know that the sun
is shining beyond. We trust there
fore that his soul has gone to a
land of pure delight where saints
immortal reign. Infinite day ex-
cludes the night and pleasure ban

American flag,
In the parade was the famous
Deadwood stage coach and aprairie
schooner, tableauX wagons and a

cert by the large band. Then the
various characters were introduced
in areview, showing Cossacks, Sioux
Cheyenne and other Indian tribes,
cowboys, cowgirls, Mexicans, mount
ed on horses and ponies. The scenes
included combats between Indians

gram includes the ordinary circus
acts.-Stillwater Gazette.
