Everybody welcome.
We all of US know folks who have
lived long lives of uneventful toll.
Youth passed into manhood or woman
hood, and old age overlook them and
all the while they seemed never to
have caught the spirit of progress,
but still remained unimportant factors
of past generation.
But occasionally we meet people
whose lives completely upset ones
theories of such limited life plan.
and Mr.. A. H. Taisey of Donnelly,
is one of that class-a man whose
whole life has been unselishly inter-
woven with the business and social
interests of this fellow men-one
of those sterling American types of
men whom the people delight to honor
as was done last Wednesday night
when the little harnlet of Donnelly
gathered almost enmasse at the city
hall to give voice to their love and
respect for Mr.. Taisey and to bid him
Godspeed on the eve of his departure
for California where he will spenC
the winter among the tropical flowers
of that sunny state.
Mr.. Taisey has spent SO of his II
odd years in Stevens county. His
business relations with the Great
Northern Railway Co. began wher
Donnelly was mere speck on the
map of Minnesota, just depot and
section house, and ended about two
years ago when failing health made
it advisable to spend his winters in
in a less vigorous climate. The
best years of his life have been spent
in Donnelly and if the place is not what
it might have teen it is no fault OF
his. One of the little beauty spot
of the village which Will long mark
his artistic state is the little parE
which fronts the main street on one
side and the depot on the other.
It is so customary to lay flowers or
the Tier of the dead that almost any
of US may expect to receive few
such expressions of respect when We
are dead, but there are only few
who get their flowers before they die
The flowers showered upon Mr.
Taisey last Wednesday night were no
American Beauty roses from the no
hoV1ce hu+ moro Aouors of Snoech anC
