sympathy and kindness, and his
generosity and good deeds are at

Us. MT. Wentzel was married in 1880
to Mrs. Mary Smith (nee Ruedy), a
native of Switzerland. Two sons,
Edward j. and Charles Benjamin

The. funeral was held on Monday
afternoon at 2 o'clock. Owing to
the fact that SO large a number of
friends and old settlers wished to
be present to pay their = last re-
speets to the memory of deceased,
it was decided to hold the funeral
from the Swedish Lutheran church.
Rev. VIM. tBramscher, pastor of the
German Lutheran church in this
city, Of which church deceased was
an active member, preached an i'm

Charles Wentzel, the first settler
within the present boundaries Of
city of Warren. died on Saturday
morning; Aug. 9, 1913, aged 72 years,
3 months and n days. 81 Il /.
The honored citizen: and sturdy
pioneer, who has been familiar
figure in our. city during its en-
tire existence, is now no more. He
has finished his labors on earth
and entered the heavenly rest. Du-
ring the past few weeks he has
suffered from his old malady (can-
cer) and was being cared for at the
city hospital, where the final sum-
mons came at the time above mem
toned. =. -. & - 3 >.555@& Hem.
Charles Wentzel was born in
West Prussia, Germany, on April
1S, 1874, and was the third in order
of birth of a family of seven chill
dren, born ITO John and Rosalia
Wentzel. He learned the trade OF
blacksmith in his native land.
In 1868 he came with the family
to America, locating in Canada, and
after spending a year there, he
came to the United States, working
at his trade for short time near
Detroit, Michigan, and for nearly
three years in Wisconsin. In 1870
he came to Minnesota, plying his
trade at Brainerd and Crookston.
While thus engaged he suffered an
injury which caused him to turn
his attention to agriculture, and IT
was with this intention that he
pushed on into the unsettled north
and became a pioneer. His first
visit to this part Of the country
was in 1872, but his residence here
dates from June |, 1871 .It was
this year tilattss tfhe early land grant

had never had a dispute. Mr.
Wentzel was the soul of honor and
uprightness and in his makeup
there was no deceit or unkindness
His word was always as good as
gold. The Judge called attention
to the fact that on the north half
of the Wentzel homestead, known
as Vented & Grind deland's addition
to Warren, are now located two
churches, the Washington school,
North Star College, the Warren
mill, the 500 depot, the City Park,
and a large number of fine homes,
In closing the Judge directed ten
der words of sympathy to the be-
reaved family.
The pail bearers were all old set
tiers and were as follows: Ed Som
.mers, G. O. Cross, Aug. Lundgren,
w. F. Powell, j. u. Olson and C. Z.
Spaulding. After the service in
the church, the flower bedecked
casket containing the remains Of
Warren's first settler, was escorted
to Greenwood cemetery by a large
procession of old settlers and
friends, in carriages, automobiles
and on foot. "A short service was
held at the grave by Rev. Bram-
scher.
A brother Of deceased, Julius
Wentzel, Of Grookston, and his
wife, also many other relatives
from Crookston and Fisher were
present at the funeral.

and noble pioneer. His name will

land reverting back to the governs
ment and supposedly subject to
homestead entry and Mr.. Wentzel
then hitched his broncho to a cart
at Crookston and started for the
Snake river with gun and traps. H.
built a house and stable on the
banks of Snake river, near the site
OF the present city hospital, and
employed himself at hunting and
trapping in Marshall and Kittson
counties. Those who had previ-
ously settled along the Snake river
left that region when the railroad
failed to come as soon as expected,
hence Mr.. Wentzel was left in un--
disputed possession of large
stretch of country, visited only BY
the wandering Ghippewas. AS
work on the railroad was resumed
in 1877 and 1878 SETTLERS pushed ii
and Mr.. Wentzel invested in a team
and did breaking for these new set
Tiers and also assisted them to Ia
cate on vacant lands. He was hin-
self little later plunged into ID
long litigation with the railroad
company over the land on which he
had located the northwest quar-
ter Of section 1, township 154, range
48-but he upheld his settlers
rights and succeeded in getting Ii
tie to the land. 81

his log cabin on the Snake in 1874.

North Star College Notes

A foot bridge, very substantial
and well built, has been put up by
the 500 Line across the big ditch
between the depot and the college.
Rev. Hanson, former pastor Of
the Synod Lutheran church, now
of Forest City, Iowa, while visiting
with friends in Warren, took the
opportunity to go thru the new col
lege building. He had heard a great
deal about it, but he said he could
not believe that it d could really
come up to what is was. He did
net see where It could he 1mprov-
ed upon. If our young people
knew what a fine place we have,
they would not want to go else
where.
Mrs. F. Peterson from Alvarado,
was in the city last week to make
arrangements for her daughter,
who will enter the senior class at
the college academy this fall.
Misses Ruth and Naeni Rosen-
thai of Kennedy, have been visiting
with Warren friends. Miss Ruth
was in the seventh grade last win
ter, but she took all the state ex-
aminations and passed from the
eighth grade subjects in the spring.
This speaks we'll both for her and
the Kennedy school.
The adjourned meeting of the
college corporation was held last
week, at which important matters
were considered. AS members of
the Board,- Aug. Lundgren and J. p.
Mattson were reelected, while N.
r.. Bystrom was elected to take the
place of Rev. G.. Wahlund, who was
relieved in order that he might
spend all his time after this as So
licitor for. the college. Rev. Kr. Ro-
senthal of Kennedy, was present at
the meeting.
At the college board meeting held
on Saturday, Mr.. Aug. Lundgren
was elected president. All other
officers were, reelected. A teacher
for the music department. was elect
ed, and it is the intention that work
shall begin in this department on
September, first, a month in ad-
vance of the other regular work.
Watch for further details and an
nouncements next week. Something
important.
Prof. Sjostrand has now finished
his Swedish school work and is
spending all his time at gathering
supplies for the state fair exhibit.

work in the various departments
keep on coming. We are pleased to
give information, and pleased to
hear of students coming. Is
