MRS. ELERY ARNOLD
DIED At AGE
Of 81
White Woman Resi-.
dent of Larimore Town.
ship Called Today

At her home in Larimorc this
morning at $50 o'clock occurred the
death of Mrs. Elcry C. Arnold, aged
-, her demise following Il four-year
period of Illness, the last fifteen
months of which has been so serious
that she has been confined to her bed.
Mrs. Arnold, with her husband, had
the distinction of being the first
white resident of what 10 comprises
Larifnore township. their government
claim being staked two miles from the
present city of Larimore, and it still
Is known as the Arnold farm.
AS pioneer residents of western
Grand Forks county, Mr.. and Mrs.
Arnold had become very we'll known.
Mr.. Arnold is still living, and with
two daughters and a son, survives her.
Mr., Arnold is the postmaster in Lari-
more n has held that position for
many years.
Mrs. Arnold was born in Burrills-
vile. Rhode Island. ON January 1,
1928. and her maiden name was
her parents until March 81. 1856,
when h was united in marriage to
Elery c.. Arnold. removing to Don
aldson, Conn.,. in 1861, and remaining
there until 1861.
At that time MIR. and Mrs. Arnold
removed to Houston county, Mimi,
remaining there until 1850, when
they came to Grand Forks county
and settled in Larimore township.
Mrs. Arnold is survived by her hus-
band and three children, Horace S.
Arnold and Mrs. Edgar l.. Richter
and Miss Emma Arnold. all of Lari-
more. Horace Arnold was in Mime
aDolis this morning, and funeral ar
engagements will not be completed I'M
til he arrives home.
Tho death OF Mrs. Arnold removes
a woman who was very highly re-
spected by her legion of friends. She
was, in her youth, a woman of beau
ty and retained that same beauty to
her old age, years adding to her
wealth of splendid characteristics.

Washington. Jan. 5.--All hope of

would be impossible and Il report to
That effect is expected next week. The

placed tho control OF senatorial cleo

lature. Tho II amended the res
olution, leaving the control in the
hands of congress. This question has
been debated by tho c%onfcrccs since
the extra session and after many
meetings representatives on each side
have h"en unable to offer concessions
which would be acceptable.
