MRS. HOWARD E. DADY IS DEAD
Popular Oakes Lady Victim of Dread
Appendicitis

our fairest flowers. When news of
the death Of Mrs. Howard E. Dady
was given out the shock was almost
too great to be borne. That young
woman in the prime of life should
thus be taken from our midst, when
we needed her SO badly, did not seem
possible.
Mrs. Dady was suddenly taken sick
at her home last week Tuesday, about
2:30 o'clock, and was just barely able
to reach the telephone in time to call
her husband, who hurried to her side
and summoned the family physician.
A severe spell of vomiting appeared
to relieve her suffering somewhat and
she passed quiet night. Wednesday
afternoon she became worse and when
the doctor arrived he diagnosed the
case as acute appendicitis and stated
that an immediate operation was inn
perative. Mrs. Dady was accordingly
taken to the hospital, where she sub
mitted to the operation at about 8
o'clock that evening. She rallied
from the effects Of the operation and
anaesthetic nicely and seemed to be
on the road to recovery. From thas
time until Sunday afternoon she ap-
parently gained steadily, but about
three o'clock the patient took sud-
den turn for the worse, and it was
then seen that the end was a matter
Of hours. She passed peacefully
away at 2:15 Monday morning.
Matilda O'Neill was born in SYRIA
cuse, N. Y, April 25, 1887, the daugh-
ter Of Mr.. and Mrs. P. ]. O'Neill. She
came to Cakes with her parents when
two years Of age, and has made this
city her home continuously since that
time with the exception Of one year
spent in the east. On Dec. %, 1910,
she was united in marriage to Howard
Z. Dady. Two sons came to bless
this union. One, Clarence Eugene,
born Nov. II, 1911, died when about
a week old. Howard Eugene Dady,
Jr., was born Jan. 20, 1915, and is left
at the. age Of four years without
mothers tender care.
Besides the grief stricken husband
and son, deceased leaves her mother,
Mrs. P. ]. O'Neill Of Fargo; three sis
ters, Mrs. ]. w. Schrock Of Los An
geles, Cal, Mrs. ]. 7. Berg and Miss
Gladys O'Neill Of Fargo; and one
brother, Clarence O'Neill Of Fargo.
All Of them excepting Mr.. and Mrs.
Schrock, were in attendance at the
funeral. ]. Dady Of Fargo, brother
Of Howard, and ]. A. Frank of La
Moure, an old friend of the family,
came to express their sympathy. Mr..
Dady's mother, Mrs. E. Dady of Los
Angeles, was unable to be present.
Funeral services were conducted at
the Methodist church Tuesday after
noon at 800 o'clock, in charge of
Rev. Grafton, who delivered touch
ing tribute to the memory of the de-
parted. Revs. Anthony, Doty and
Hollett, the latter from Fargo, each
spoke briefly. Oakes business houses
were closed during the services.
The floral offerings, sent by hosts
of friends, were most beautiful and
profusive and gave silent testimony
to the esteem in which Mrs. Dady was
held by her neighbors and friends.
Members Of the Eastern Star escort
ed the remains from the home to
the church. Messrs. A. P. Guy, w. F.
Rathman, E. Naylor, J. w. Bush, F.
Mosher and A. R. Wright, members
Of the local Masonic lodge, acted as
pail bearers. Interment was made in
the Oakes cemetery.
Mrs. Dady was a member of the
First Presbyterian church, the East
ern Star, the Relief corps and other
societies, and had taken an active
part in church and social activities for
years. She was the happy possessor
Of lovely voice and no entertain
ment was complete unless Mrs. Dady
sang. A charming woman, one whom
it was a pleasure to know, has been
taken from among us. It is useless
to attempt to enumerate her many
graces. A lily cannot be painted.
