HER LIFE OF USEFULNESS
ENDED ON GOOD FRIDAY
Mrs Ellen S, Brown One of the Countys Pio-
neer Women Responds to Call

On Good Friday afternoon, April
2lst, Mrs Ellen S. Brown, who has
made Langdon her home the greater
part of the time since the death of
her husband about sixteen years ago,
died at her home on Second street,
the end being preceded by an illness
that confined her indoors for less than
a month. daring which time she was
attended by her da .ghter, Mrs. Geo.
Edworthy. Mrs. brown was seventy
four years old, was born at Whitby,
Ont, in 1912 and came west with
her husband and the younger members
of their family in 1896, when they
located on farm in the vicinity of
Rush Lake between Hannah and
Wales. Of family of twelve child
rem, seven have preceded the mother
in death, the five who survive and
who were here to attend the funeral
held on Tuesday afternoon from the
Methodist church are W. II. and r.
g. Brown of Pelly, Sask., Mrs. M
F. Popplewell, of Davidson, Sask. /,
Mrs Rodger Agar, of Imperial. Sasb
and Mrs. George Edworthy of Hannah.
The deceased and her family were best
known by those who pioneered it ir
the Rush Lake region in the earlier
frontier days, when Mrs. Brown was
always found ready and wiling tc
minister to those who were sick and
in trouble. There are deeds done by
the deceased in the years of long age
that will long be remembered now
that she has gone to her reward afte,
life given to helping others.

HIRED MAN HAD CLOSE CALL
AT ED THIBEDEAU'S FARM
Narrowly Escaped Being Crushed to Death in
Helping Move Old Log Building

What might easily have proven
fatal accident occurred on the Ed.
Thibedeau farm west of town last
Saturday. Mr.. Thibedeau, his son
and man, Jos. Richotte, were at work
raising a log building l6xlS feet in
size, and had it up on jacks. Some
lumber, sticks and broken planks
we're under the building, hindering in
the work aid Richotte crawled under
meath and was removing them, when
one of the jacks slipped on its frozen
foundation and the whole building
settled down. AS it started Mr..
Thihedeau's son called "look out''
and Ritchotte made lunge for the
opening to escape, but had only got
half way out when he was caught by
the sill coming down across his loins,
which pinned him to the ground,
there being about six inches of room
between the earth and sill of the build
ing: so that the man was not instantly
crushed to death, but was held so
firmly that he could not move and
breathed with difficulty. Mr.. Thibe-
deau got heavy pole and put under
the sill next the man, nsing it as a
pry, which gave him relief, but all
of their efforts could not release him.
Then the son went on horseback to
the neighbors for relief who came and
raised the building and took Richotte
out-some half an hour after he was
caught.
| Richotte was soon able to get about
again but his breathing was painful
and Tuesday he came in to DR.. Laun-
dry. The doctor says there were no
injuries other than the bruising of
the muscles which causes pain in
breathing, and that he will soon be
all right. Had Richotte been little
slower in moving and his head been
caught, he would have been held with
head in water until he drowned, as
there was water in the hole through
which he was attempting to make his
way.
1t was certainly close call-but
Richotte does not feel any more pleas
ed over the outcome than Mr.. Tbibe.

AGED LkNGD0N LADY DIES
At Home OF DAUGHTER
Mother of the Deneen Family Re
spends to Call of Deaths Angel
Saturday Evening

The death of Mrs. Deneen, Sr.,
aged eighty-tiVe years occurred Satur-
day night shortly after the hour Of
eleven o'clock at the home of her
daughter, Mrs. Robert Bryson, with
whom she had resided much of the
time during the years of her widow
hood. The approaching close of the
life of Mrs. Deneen, who as pioneer
settler of Cavalier county had resided
here since 1883, had made itself
plainly evident within the last two
years, and although she had not been
confined to her bed until few weeks
ago the last few months had been a
greater burden upon the patience and
endurance of the sufferer owing to
the appearance of malignant cancer.
Mrs. Deneen was born of Irish
parentage in the County of Hastings,
Ontario in 1881. Her maiden name
was Miss Ann Callahan and at the
age of eighteen years she was marri-
ed in 1849 to Dennis Deneen. The
family continued to make that part of
the Province of Ontario their home
until moving west to Dakota in 1882.
At that time their son Jerry, the
youngest of a family of fourteen, of
whom eight are still living, was only
four years old. Their home during
the first year in Dakota was in Penn
bina county at ST. Joe, coming west
into Cavalier county the following
year when the father filed on home
stead east Of Langdon where the
family grew up and resided until the
death of Mr.. Deneen in 1897 since
which time the mother has made her
home with her grown up children,
most of the time here in Langdon.
The surviving family of eight includes
four daughters, Mrs. Carron, of Mimic,
Mrs. M. j. Horgan and Mrs. Robert
Bryson and Miss Julia Deneen of
Langdon and four sons, Dennis, Dan.,
John and Jerry, all of whom were
here to attend the funeral held yester-
day forenoon. The death of Mrs.
Deneen removes from this community
one of its oldest and most esteemed
early pioneer residents and to the
bereaved family goes out the sympathy
of all our people, as was demonstrate
ed bystheglarge attendance given the
funeral service and burial of yester-
day mornang.

family, who remained at the home in
Forest Grove, are expected to arrive
