After Returning From Hos
) pttal at Rochester
VI Monday morning the residents
of this city were saddened when
it became known to them that
Rev. FIR. j. Gaydusek of St. Adal-
bert's church was no more. He
having passed away that morning
when the new day was born.
The Rev. FIR. J. Gaydusek had
been Of ill health more noticeable
to the general public and his con-
gregation since last January, hav-
ing at that time left for the Hot
Spring and staying until March
trying to regain his health. Then
coming back to this city in that
month and instead of finding here
the usual spring climate, but WIN
ter whose fury at that time was
just reaching it's highest point, he
could not stand the cold and bleak
North Dakota winds, suffered a
relapse and from that time up
until his death Monday morning
! had been in very feeble health,
getting worse from day to day.
Last Wednesday he went to the
hospital at Rochester, Minn., and
returned Sunday morning with no
hope Of recovery. 1t being less
than day before he left his
earthly home to make his last
!. Tourney going to his heavenly
home.
Rev. FIR. Gaydusek was man
that was extremely we'll liked by
those who knew and his untiring
efforts to set mere man on the
right path, so he wouldn't be lost
from God, also won his way into
the hearts of people, although of
not the same creed. His early
priesthood had led him through
many trying circumstances and
hardships. when travel in those
days was by horse and buggy and
the horse at that time played the
: important part in travel, it being
his only conveyance in the early
COS i'm South Dakota missionaries
his missions being almost i2O
> miles apart.
Time and time again his coun-
sci was sought and he never re-
fused, no matter how hard it was
for him to accomplish the Things
that We're right i'm his judgment
He stood fearless before men in
! his belief and at no time did nc
ever fail and yet he had the kind
: est of sympathy for the weak, ana
his hand never quivered against
what was wrong. He went through
D hardship after hardship in his
, early days and thus he has more
than proven to- those that he min
gled with ON earth and those now
left behind that his course i'm life
was we'll chosen. He presented a
figure that almost became an idol
among his parish congregation.
and they are now very sad at theil
loss and yet thankful that in their
course of life they had had the
opportunity to come i'm con-
tact with such man whose noble
character stood out so strong.
He as one of the states nobl"st
men, was called upon by Cover
nor Hanna to act as one of the
delegates from North Dakota TO
the American Peace Centerary,
celebrating the tooth anniversary
of peace at Ghent, Belgium, where
the treaty was signed with Great
Britain, after the war of 1912.
The conference was to be held in
the later part of the year of 1911 i
but did materialiZe, on account OF
the present European war. He re-
ceived his appointment from Gov.
Hanna i'm March, 1914.
Then again as true priest he
was often rewarded for his ser
vices and of the last several years
he was appointed as parish exam
iner of the diocese of Fargo. and
the last few years as a Dean ct
Richland, Ransom and Sargent
counties.
Rev. FIR. j. Gaydusek was born
at Bohuslavia, Moravia. Austria,

DIS priest Ill l-ou\dlil, DelSiuiIi ~
