DIES At OLD HOME:
:, AFTER LONG ILLNESS

A. F.. Frebel of Coteau died at
his old home at Sioux Falls, S. D.,
on Tuesday of last week following
a quite a long illness. Mrs. Frebel
and their son Fred were present
when death came. The deceased
had been suffering from paralysis
for some time. but his case was
not considered serious until last
fall. 1t will be remembered that
while sleeping in a tent one night
last summer the deceased was
struck on the head by transient
and then robbed. Since that time
he continued to grow worse until
death came to relieve his suffer-
ings. In the hopes of benefitting
his health Mr.. FreDel took treat
ments at various institutions, but
none seemed to do him any good,
and he finally went to his old
home and gave up. Mrs. Frebel
was with him all the time.
Mr.. >Frebel was born on Oct. IL,
1861 at shullsburg. Wis, and, liv-
ed there with his parents until he
was Is years old. and then moved
to Sioux Falls. That was before
there were any railroads in that
section of the country. In his new
location he secured a position as
grain buyer in few years and fol-
lowed this occupation until last
fall when he became too i'll to look
after the work. He was married
at Sioux Falls in 1883. He came
to Burke county with his family in
1907 and commenced buying grain.
and resided here until last fall.
The deceased was kind hearted.
and we'll liked by all who knew
him. He was good business man
but attended strictly to his own
business, and as far as we know
he never had an enemy in the
world. He leaves to mourn his
death loving wife, his son Fred,
who is cashier of the First State
Bank of Coteau, his mother, two
sisters. Mrs. Levi TenEyck of Shell
don. Iowa, and Mrs. W. T. Doolit
tie OF Sioux Falls, S. D.
The funeral was held at Sioux
Falls Oh Thursday afternoon Of
last week. and interment tool

had the pleasure last Sunday even

that we never saw a prettiar lay

the big snow during the past win
ter had broken down great many
trees, still the space devoted to.
horticulture looked very inviting
and homelike. The evergreenst
were especially nice. some /. being
over 20 feet high. Probably the
only horse chesnut tree y In this
part Of the state grows in Mr..
Neve's yard. and It is most certain
ly beauty, being over 30 feet
high and as perfect as It could be
made. Both Mr.. and Mrs. Nevei
have put in an awful lot OF hard
work during the past few years In
Identifying their home. but they
consider themselves well paid TOR
their labors.
