Death of Mrs. C. L. Phifer

Dassel Dispatch-The death Of Mrs.
G.. L. Phifer occurred at Howard !
Lake last Sunday evening, Nov. 18th,
and the remains were brought to this
village for burial beside her hus-
band, C. L. Phifer who died nine
years ago last April. The funeral
services we're conducted at Howard
Lake by Rev. Nelson and many of .
Mrs. Phifer's Howard Lake friends
came here to attend the last rites. /
A number from here also went down
to attend the services at Howard
Lake.
Helen Whitnell Phifer was born in
Milwaukee, Feb. 27, 1853 and was
married to G. L. Phifer, Sept. 4,
1874. They resided at Bremen, Wis
consin, for about three years, when
they came to Dassel and made their
home on a farm south of this village
for about ten years. After leaving
their farm Mrs Phifer had made her |
home here until about five years ago, !
when she went to Howard Lake and
remained with her daughter, Mrs.
Otto Jungclaus, until her death.
Mrs. Phifer was the mother of six
children, Joseph of Donnelly; Mrs.
Cousins, Minneapolis; Mrs. F. F.
Foss, Kimball; Mrs. Jungclaus, How
ard Lake and Maude of Montana, one
child dying in infancy. She also
leaves five grandchildren. Mrs.
Phifer was a most devoted mother
and her home was a most delightful
gathering place for the young friends
of her children, who will always love
to contemplate the happy times they
had there. She was an ardent church
worker, and only few days previous
to her death was making great pre-
parations for the Christmas season
for her Sunday school class. She
will be greatly missed by old friends
and neighbors, and especially by her
immediate family, by whom she was
greatly beloved.
All of the children except Mrs. F.
F. Voss of Kimball were present at
the funeral services. Mrs. Voss being
unable to get here.
Mrs. Tryon, Mrs. Keefus, and Miss
Nellie Clark of Minneapolis also came
up for the services.
The people of Dassel tender their
sympathy to the bereaved family and
regret the passing of another of our
sterling pioneer women.

11,796 members, Minnesota has the
largest enlisted strength of any state.
Oklahoma is second on the list, with
Morris tribune., 1919-11-28

3,056 members, 90 per cent of the
authorized strength, and Maine is
third. New York, California and
Ohio are listed at Is per cent of their
authorized strength. Georgia is last
on the list, the guard Of that state
being at 8 per cent Of normal

Plans are under way in many
states to re-organize guard units, in
order to re-admit officers and men
who formerly belonged to regiments,
but who we're transferred during the

The report shows the entire Ma
tional Guard strength as 5000
