years resident of Princeton town,
passed away at Vancouver, Wash,
December Is, 1914, at the advanced
age of 70 years, months and II
days.
= August Gerth was born in Ger
many, July IA, 1885. He emigrated
TO America in the year of 1859,
locating at St. Paul, where he en-
tered the employ of the government
as a teamster. He drove teams con-
yeying provisions to Forts Ripley and
Abercombie until the Indian out
break, when he enlisted in the army.
After hostilities were concluded he
SETTLED on homestead in section II,
Princeton town, where he resided
continuously up to couple of years
Eago when he went west. He was
married in 1866, and is survived by
|sthe following children: Mrs. Fred
eEKeasling. Minneapolis; Mrs Albert
[Kuhtield, Princeton; Mrs. John
Tritcn. Vancouver, WASH; Fred,
IA ugust and Daniel of Rhame, n.
Ed; Anton and Wesley on the old
Homestead, and William also of

severed the final summons January s,

+ The remains will be brought to
princeton and laid at rest in the
Equiet church yard, close by the
Escenes Of his early ]abors. The
Funeral will be held Saturday at
II o'clock at the family residence and
Gater at the German Methodist

4 More than so years ago a band of
sturdy Germans located in Princeton
township. They we're Carl Henschel,
EWm. Schilling, Louis Hoppe, Peter
Eand David Kuhrke, Carl Lindeke and
august Gerth, and across the line in
elsanti county, Carl Radeke. Now
[>6hey have all passed away with the
exception of Carl Lindeke, who is
Still resident of st. Paul. Pleasant
hammered, genial August Gerth is
the last of them. They were all
hard Working tillers of the soil and
labored increasingly to hew out and
build up homes for themselves and
families in the forest primeva].
Many we're the priyations those
hardy pioneers endured. No roads,
merely trails through the woods-no
churches or school houses, and no
market for their produce nearer than
St. Anthony. Now the section in
which they settled half century ago
is a garden spot, dotted over with
comfortable dwelling houses and
comlnodious barns, with school
houses and churches on every hand,
good roads and splendid cash mar
ket for everything produced on the
farm. Those brave-hearted German
pioneers were Industrious, honest,
patriotic and law-abiding citizens,
and not one of them stood higher in
the estimation of his neighbors and
acquaintances than August Gerth.

NOTES..

~ = e.
Manager HofHander has scheduled
game with Milaca, and it will be
staged at the armory tomorrow after
noon. This contest will be hum
mer, as both sides will be out to
win.
One Of the Minneapolis players had
the misfortune to twist his ankle
so severely that it was impossible for
him to continue play. Another one
of the visitors received scratch on
the cheek, while Billy Doane had
one of his eyes most beautifully dis
colored. The contest was a clean
one, however, and all the injuries
were unavoidable.
For the important position of CEN
ter the Mill City team had an elong-
ated individual whose head was at
least ''steen' feet from the floor.
If it had not been for the fact that
he was continually stumbling over
Doane he might have worked havoc
to the local defense with his un-
limited reach.
Princeton has some truly proficient
basket throwers, and their work
last Saturday evening in this respect
was more than spectacular at times.
Some of the fastest teams in the
state are being scheduled by Manager
Hofflander to oppose the local huskies
and some thrilling contests can be
expected in the future. The Milaca
game tomorrow, however. will un-
doubtedly be as interesting as any.

a count of 10 to II. The contest was
fast throughout and both teams
played. an aggressive game, conse-
Guently the spectators were treated

man from Minneapolis and Arthur
Roos officiating as arbitrators. The
local quint showed up particularly
strong during the first half, and
clearly outclassed their opponents.
When time was called the local
basket shooters had secured four field
baskets and three free throws, while
the visitors we're forced to be con-
tent with two field baskets. Vonde-
marus, Smith, Morton and Heinz

Christmas at St. Edwards Church.

Despite the biting cold that pre-
vailed on Christmas day, all three
services at ST. Edwards were at
tended by very large crowds, many
Of whom came g distance Of even six
miles and more. The services were
beautiful, sublime and impressive.
The inspiring "Manger Of Beth]e-
hem,'' erected in a corner of the
church, attracted an admiring crowd
of people, leaving in their hearts
sweet religious memories. Father
Willenbrink delivered the sermon in
the morning. while Rev. Fir. Bialka,
student of St. Johns university,
occupied the pulpit at the 1880 a.
m. and 1880 p. m. services. The
choir was at its best, and the success
that crowned their efforts showed
that the most difficult music can be
rendered well, if neither labor nor
sacrifice is spared. The members Of
the choir are the following: Mrs.
G. A. Galley, directress, and Lorine
Jesmer, organist; Mrs. Blocker,
Theresa ormwald, Sadie Kaliher,
Gertrude Neumann, Lizzie Nachbar,
Gertrude Brennan, Grace Kaliher.
