sentlaI features OF a real home. oucn
a building is the one shown here with
floor plans.
The exterior is very pleasing and
inviting, yet at the same time I'M
usual enough to please the mos in
a steep sloping side gable roof with
broad dormers. The front porch ex-
tending the full width of the house is
set under the main root and support
ed by four colonial columns which
gives the impression of the h~ospitable
mansions of colonial days. There are
no porch rails, an unusual feature,
while the steps, five in number, are
built of brick laid on edge and tlanked
by balustrades of the same material
and construction.
The front entrance carries out the
idea of colonial design suggested by
the front porch. IL consists of a
door with two narrow side panels of
the type found SO. often in houses of
the purely colonial style. The win
dows are also of this same design,
double hung with small panes.
The lattice work for vines at the
base of the broad brick chimney, along
the front of the porch and On the front
dormer add a picturesque touch to the
picture.
A reception hall opens off the front
entrance with stairs leading to the
floor above. and a handy closet at
one end for street clothes. Through a
wide open doorway entrance is gained
10 the large and comfortable living
room, IA feet 6 inches by l3 feet g
inches. In the wall opposite the door
way is a large open brick fireplace
which has come to mean so much In
the modern home. Today ii is a neces-
sary feature not only because of Its
architectural beauty but because II is

compact lines, IL Is large enough for
all the needs of the housewife and not
TOO large TO cause extra work and
attention. A small pantry provides
plenty of storage place for foodstuifs,

includes a range, ice box and sink.

DIES AT FERGUS FALLS
AFTER SHORT ILLNESS
Miss Emma Snorek, Sister of Frank
Snorek, Passes Aaway on
December ~

The Montgomery Message brings
news of the death of Emma Snorek,
sister of Frank Snorek of this city,
at Fergus Falls on Dec. 27.
When his sister first became ill
several weeks ago, Mr.. snorek went
to Grand Forks, at which place she
was living at that time, to bring her
here to his home. Her condition
made it necessary to remove her to
the hospital at Fergus Falls after a
few days, however. She was at the
hospital for five weeks and three
days when death occurred. Her
brother went to Fergus Falls to make
arrangements for taking the body
to the old home at Montgomery.
The account of the death which
appeared in the local paper there
follows:
"The sad news reached this city
from Fergus Falls, Mimi, on Monday
afternoon announcing the death on
Saturday evening, December 27, at
1925 o'clock, of Miss Emma Snorek,
cause of her death being aortitis.
The remains were conveyed to this
city over the M. & S. L. on Tuesday
and taken to one of the local under
taking establishments where they
lay in state until the following morn
ing when funeral services we're held
from the church of the Most Holy
Redeemer at nine o'clock, Rev. Emil
Polasek officiating. Interment was in
Calvary cemetery, beside her father
and mother, who preceded her to
| their graves.
Emma Snorek was born in this
| city on March II, 1889. She re-
manned in our midst, attending the
local schools until about fifteen years
ago, when she went to Minneapolis
! to make her home with her sister
| She remained in that city, where she
was employed in one of the large de-
partment stores, until the spring Of
| this year, when she went to East
Grand Forks to accept a position
She was taken ill about two months
ago and her condition was such thai
it was necessary to remove her tt
: the hospital in Fergus Falls, where
she passed away. The deceased was
always bright, happy and cheerful
carrying sunshine wherever she went
She had always smile and a pleas
ant word for her friends. There was
a daily beauty about her life that
won every heart, and above all she
was true loving sister, and hel
devotion to her family circle knew nc
end.
'She is survived by two sister, Mrs
A. R. Filipek and Elizabeth of Min
neapolis; and five brothers, Frank, OF
Morris; Louis, of Lonsdale; Edward
of Norfolk, Va, and Joseph and
Michael, of Minneapolis, who have
the sympathy of the community in
their bereavement.
