THE PASSING OF AN
HONORED VALLEY PIONEERS

Z Ezzist
Oslo, Mimi. Jan. 1919
lt becomes our solemn duty to chron-
lcle the death of Mr.. Grin Sheppard.
formerly of Big Woods, but who has
resided in Minneapolis during the past
two years. Mr.. Sheppard came up
from the latter place to spend the holt
days with his two daughters who re-
side here. And it was while stopping
at the farm of his son-in-law. Mr..
Henry Shane, that Mr.. Sheppard in
sisted on accompanying Mr.. Shane to
Poland to assist in moving small
building to the farm of the former in
Turtle River township 1T was while
thus assisting that Mr. Sheppard be
came entrapped under the building and
received internal injuries from which
he succumbed at hospital in Grand
Forks, n. D., where he was taken i'm
mediately after the accident
Mr.. Sheppard whose death comes as
a shock to the entire community was
well and favorably known throughout
the valley and his friends were limited
to all those who were fortunate to be-
come acquainted with him-for to
know him was to love and respect him
Mr.. Sheppard first came to Walsh
county, n. D., with the rest, OF the
fathers family, in the early eighties,
where he settled on a homestead, re-
siding there for some years after
which he disposed of his North Dakota
holdings and purchased a valuable
tract of land on the northern line of
town of Oak Park, Marshall county
Minnesota. Early in the spring of 1917
he disposed Of his holdings here and
moved his family to Minneapolis.
Mr.. Sheppard was married June %,
1885, to Miss Minnie NJ. McGilvery.
To this union was born six children,
who together with the bereaved widow
are left to mourn his loss.
Immediately after the accident, he
was taken to Grand Forks, where
everything that skilled physicians and
loving hands could do was done, but to
no avail. Mr.. Sheppard was a.dey0ut
Christian and lived 5as such, was up
fright and honest In all his dealings and
his death is deeply regretted by all who
i knew him He was 81 years old when
his maker called his soul across that
threshold which opens inward, but
never outward. Many are the friends
who join in grief with the sorrowing
wife and family In this their dark hour,
for the loss Of a true friend teaches in
part the burden that must be borne by
/ them. "A Friend.

nual meeting, at the court house this
week. On the board are two new mem
+bers as the result of the last election
and who entered upon their duties for
the first time at this meeting, and they
are Ole Torgerson, of Stephen, from
the third district, and c. T.. Olson, of
Randen, who represents the fifth dis
trict. They are both good and able
men and will no doubt prove valuable
members on the board The members
of the board who hold over are A. N.
Lodoen of Warren, o. Enge of Oslo,
and A. s. Rokke of Newfolden. The
new board was organized by the cleo
ton of O. Enge as chairman, and A. S.
Rokke as vice chairman. The board
had intended to. draft Mr.. Rokke to
serve in the position as chairman, but
he declined the honor, Whereupon Mr..
Enge, who is tried and true man on
the board, was chosen for the position.
Mr. Rokke has served fifteen years as
a member of the county board, a longer
period Of service than has been rem
dered BY any other county commission
er in the county. ..
The board transacted a great deal Of
routine business at the sessions held
yesterday and today. The Warren
Sheaf has been awarded the county
printing for the ensuing year.
A. O. F1adeland, Of Grygla, the re-
firing member Of the board from the
fifth district, has served his district
and the county we'll and is deserving
Of the gratitude Of the people Of the
county. Owing to private business in
terests which require, his undivided
time and attention, he declined to be
candidate for reelection. G. r. Adolph-
son, Of Argyle, the other retiring mem
Der who declined to enter the race last
fall, retires with the good will and con-
fdence of his constituents. The places
Of both are filed with good and cap
able men.

most charitable expression made was
that they were "haciiwHrd and little

tn" evening were these children at home

told. Don't do this" Don't do that.

This Is. all folly. or course, it Is nee
esSary to take precaution in order that
children may avoid tho common. every
