OBITUARY
FRANK ZURICH

Francis Marion Ulrich was born
in Clarion county, Pa, Dec. u,
1849. When he was a boy of eight
or nine years his parents settled on
farm near Madison. Wis. The boy
shared in the hard work of clearing
the land and bringing it under Gull
tivation. Like most children of that
early day, he lived in log house
and attended school in building of
the same simple type. He came to
River Falls in June, 1876. He was
married in August, 1876, to Mrs.
Mary Cheney. He passed from this
life Nov. IS, 1917.
Nj. Ulrich leaves very many to
cherish his memory. Those nearest
him are his wife; his stepdaughter,
Rosa M. Cheney; two brothers, Sam
uel Ulrich of Garrison, North Dako-
ia, and Henry Ulrich of Hancock,
Minnesota; and sister, Mrs. Mary
Prucia of Geneva, Illinois.
For more than forty years Mr..
Ulrich has been identified with those
forces responsible for our city
growth and betterment. His shares
in it's material development was al
ways accompanied by helpfullness
in the way Of civic Improvement.
He was by calling a carpenter and
builder, though for a number OF
years he was a lumber dealer and
owned the yard now in the control
of the Consolidated Lumber Co.
He laid the first cement walks in
the city and began here the making
of cement blocks, now so widely
used.
Mr.. Ulrich was a man of quiet
strength and dignity. His influence
over others was wholesome, his
ideals were high and his life singu-
larly pure and blameless. He was
especially fond Of young people and
rejoiced in their good fortune. He
loved the woods and all forms OF
wild life long before il was the IA
shion to talk about nature-study in
the schools. A host of friends will
remember him for his integrity. his
kindness, his sympathy and his
helpfulness to his fellow men. His
were the virtues that make the
world pleasant place in which to
live.
The funeral will take place from
the home on Friday afternoon at 2
O'Clock. Tue services will be con-
Quoted by the Masons of which ord
er the deceased was an honored
member.

With The BOYS
AT CAMP GRANT
BY S. R. MORSE

Every day is busy one at the
army cantonments, bnt the day at
range is about the most strenuous
of all. On Monday the entire 341st
regiment was out for their first tar
get practice.
The cant get 'em up" call was
sounded at 1880 and shortly after 5
the troops had had breakfast, wash
ed dishes, made up their beds and
were off on the mile hike up the
river, through the little hamlet of
Milford, to the range. There was
considerable preliminary work to
do to get the place IN readiness,
and firing did not commence until
after dinner. Ali Of the cooking
| utinsels, including stoves, etc., and
the food is brought out in auto
trucks and by mule power, and the
supply train for even one regiment
makes quite parade" Auto am
balances are also on hand in case
OF accident. The men, of course,
carry their own paraphenalia, I'm
Guiding gun, mess kit, shelter tent,
etc. The Colonel and his aid lead
on horseback.
The range occupies an area about
the size of Glen Park at River Falls
and about similar area across the
river, toward the old starch factory.
The targets are on the north side of
the river, and the long-range pits
are on the same side as the targets
and it was from these that Mon.
days shooting was done.
Considering the fact that it was
the first time most of the boys had
ever done this sort of shooting, with
high power rifles, the scores were
exceptionally good.
After target practice the home
ward march was made, supper be-
ing served at the barracks at six
o'clock.
AS an illustration of the varied
training given it may be of interest
to know that regimental chorus
singing is included. Directly after
supper on range day" the regi-
ment marched about mile to the
Y. M. C. A. auditorium where the
environment musical director direc-
ted the singing Of the Camp Grant
songs, such as Good Bye Broad
way, Hello France" "Smile. Smile,
Smile" 4 Keep the Home Fires
Burning" and, especially for the
341st, ION Wisconsin. These
singing lessons are held one even
ing each week.
Word has been received here that
As or so men from Co. ID will be
transferred to camp in Arizona,
but the list has not as yet been is
sued. They will lease on Friday.
All the Co. D boys are becoming
enthusiastic over the prospect of a
gymnasium room, which is planned
for their barracks. An attempt is
being made to raise fund for this
purpose and it is indeed a worthy
one. Well directed physical exer-
else is what will keep the boys in
good health here this winter, and
the gym is the best guarantee for
that.
