FUNERAL OF
HOBERT LIEN
Services Wore Held Tuesday
Afternoon.

Hobart Lien, sou of Mir and
Mrs. O. 4. Lien was born June IL
1877 at Eagle Grove Iowa and
moved to Roberts County with the
rest of the family in 1902 and then
moved to Sisseton in 1910 where
he stayed the remainder of his life.
Hobart was bright and manly
young fellow, beloved bv every
body who made his acquaintance.
He was of quiet and assuming
disposition, but genuine in every
respect. AS grew upin the church
and never knew what it meant to
be roaming wild i'll the world He
was kind and good boy in the
home, interested in the things that
were for the welfare of the home.
AT the same time he was interest
ed i'll the church and Epworth
League, it was his last wish that
the young men of the town might
be saved and take greater in
terest in spiritual things.
Hobart seemed TO have superior
insight into things than most boys
OF his agedo show. He belonged
to the class of 1916 i'll the High
school and would have finished
next year had his health not been
interrupted bv sickness. But
though he is not with us today in
the body, yet his influence will be
felt i'll this community for a long
time to come.
About is months ago he took
sick, a little later he went to CO..
orado. and i'll company with his
mother, spent the winter there, re-
turning last spring much improv-
ed. Later he underwent all oper-
alton for appendicitis and did not
recover his usual strenghth. A
few weeks ago he left for Custer,
S. d., and was doing quite we'll
but OIL the 22nd of Dec. the Lord
saw fit to call him from his circle
of friends and his earthly home to
a better land where there is no
sickness, no heartackes and tears.
He leaves behind to mourn his
death, his mother and father, bro.
ther and sister, grand parents, re-
latves and a host of friends. May
Gods richest blessing rest upon
these bereaved loved ones in this
hour of trial.
The funeral services were con-
Quoted in the Nj. T. church OH
Tuesday at Z O'Clock p. III. by Rev.
Ebert, who preached very inn
nresslve sermon using as his text,
Matt SIS. Blessed are the pure in
heart, for they shall see God, =
and Isiah o4:b And we do all fade
away as leaf
Interment took place i'll the Sisse-
ton Cemetery.
The Standard has always been
skeptical about Recommending a
man or business institution, un-
| til we have had facts go by. but
one institution i'll South Dakota
that appears to us 10 be OH the level
and worthy of recommendation is
the Watertown Business Univer.
sity of Watertown. The school
was started late last fall by Ralph
Toland of Lacrosse, Wis, who has
been associated with his fathers s
school, the famous Toland College
OF Lacrosse, Wis, we might say
ever since he was a kid, and we
understand that Ralph is a chip off
the old block, when it comes to
handling schools. ii there are any
young men or women in this terri
tory who are contemplating going
away to school after the first of the
year, we ask them to Investigate
the Watertown Business Univers-
! ity. The new term opens Jan. .3rd.
Amos Duggan OF Peever and
Katie Dunn of Alberkirk, New
Mexico, were married by Justice
Prindeville last Saturday.
