always been especially dear. Be-
cause of her extreme age, this grand
mother, who is an inmate of her sons
hcme at Delhi will not be able to at
tend the funeral service. The brother
will also be unable to attend because
of a delay in his receipt of the message

Among the other relatives who are eN-
pected to be present at the service are
Mrs. G.. w. Aufderheide of Lamberton
a sister of Mr.. MacDougall's, and her
husband. Mrs. MacDougalPs uncle, l.
E. Leighton of Bemidji and Mrs. Scott
of Minneapolis who has for many
years been warm friend of the Vel
der family. Mr.. and Mrs. Will Mac
Dougall arrived from New York sew
eral weeks ago and have been guests
at the MacDougal home here since that
time.
Maude Elizabeth Welder was born
at Morgan twenty-seven years ago
next August and moved during her
qirlhood to Delhi where she lived until
her marriage. She was member of
the Class of 10 of the Redwood Falls
high school and following her gradu-
alton she went to the Normal School
at st. Cloud. Completing her course
there she taught in the schools of
Sherburn and Delhi. On March "a,
1914 she was married to Gilbert Mac
Dougall and they have made their
home in the vicinity of Redwood Falls
since that time. A few weeks ago
they purchased a home in the city and
moved here from the farm which they
had been operating, expecting to
make their permanent home here.
Mrs. MacDougall became a COM
municant of the Presbyterian Church
many years ago at Morgan, later as
sociating herself with the church of
the same denomination at Delhi and
more recently she and her husband be-
came members of the Redwood Falls
Church. Mrs. Dougall was through
out her life very active in all forms of
church work and of all work for social
betterment. She was an accomplish
ed pianist and her ability was always
at the disposal of the church or where
ever it would give pleasure or bene-
fit. She was a valued member of the
Good Will Circle and also of the local
Eastern Star Chapter.
Mrs. MacDougall was possessed of
many sterling qualities to which her
wide circle of friends is living testi-
mony. Among all her admirable traits
she was perhaps best beloved for her
sunny disposition, her undauntable
cheeriness making her pleasant COM
panion and comrade and consistent
and faithful friend. To the bereaved
parents and husband her death brings
an almost unbearable loss and to them
lis extended the sincere sympathy of
the many friends in the communities
in which their daughter and wife was
well known.
