A. TOFFLEMIRE. OF SAWYER
DIED SHORTLY AFTER DEATH
OF HIS SON, J. E. T0FFLENlIRE

Anderson Totflemire, whose son }.
E. Tofflemire, prominent Sawyer
banker, passed away in Minot early
Friday morning, died at his home in
Sawyer Tuesday morning at 1880
O'Clock. Altho he had reached the
age Of S2 years, on Sept. 2, last, his
health had always been excellent and
he appeared good for many a year
longer, but the shock Of his sons sud
den death, must have contributed to
the cause Of his death materially.
Mr.. Tofflemire returned from an ex.
tended visit in the west about month
ago, making the trip unaccompanied.
He had visited with his son, Henry at
Pocatello, Idaho, and with his daugh-
ter, Mrs. D. H. Gates, at Terre Bonne,
Oregon.
Funeral arrangements will be made
as soon as word can be received from
Mrs. Gates who is expected to arrive
this week. Funeral services will be
held at the Congregational church in
Sawyer and the remains will be taken
for burial in the family plot. All Of
the children were here at the time of
their fathers death, with the excep-
ton Of Mrs. Gates.
The surviving children are: F. S.
Totflemire, Sawyer, banker; A. E.
Toflemire and Albert Tofflemire, who
live twelve miles southeast Of Minot;
Henry Of Pocatello, Idaho, Mrs. D. H
Gates, Terre Bonne, Ore; and Mrs
c. E. Leighter of Mason City, Iowa.
The deceased was born in Ontario
and came to the states as babe,
settling in Winnebago County, ILL.,
Later he lived in Boone county, NOV
ing to Mason City, Iowa, in 1882. He
came to Ward county in 1900 and
homesteaded north Of Sawyer. His
wife passed away in Sawyer in 1909
and was buried in Mason City, Iowa.
Mr. Tofflemire was a farmer all his
life, but quit active work on the
farm about 25 years ago, but man
aged his extensive farming interests
up to the time Of his death. He
owned three good farms near Saw
yer, Desires his home in that vii
lage and was stakeholder in the
First State Bank Of Sawyer. He was
a thrifty, conservative businessman
and had done much to develop that
section of North Dakota in which he
lived. He was good consistent
Christian, being member Of the Con.
gregational church. 1t was only
day or two before his death that he
remarked that if he had an enemy in
the world, he was not aware Of the
fact. Mr.. Tofflemire will be sadly
missed from Sawyer and vicinity
where the hand of welcome was ever
extended to him.
Mr.. Tofflemire was walking about
the streets of Sawyer the afternoon
before his death, apparently in as good
health as usual.
The funeral will probably be held
Saturday. Word was received that
daughter, Mrs. D. H. Gates is ON her
way from Terre Bonne, Ore, and will
arrive in Minot Friday afternoon.

MinOt Prices as Low as the Loves

MinOt Prices as Low as the Lowest
Oscar J. Rusley, manager Of the
clothing section Of the Leland Depart
ment store, returned Thursday from a
ten days visit to the eastern market
centers. Mr.. Rusley stated to a
representative of the Independent
that he was surprised to find that
prices in the east do not bear out
the oft repeated assertion that prices
have been reduced to any great ex-
tnet. Minneapolis prices are in many
instances, particularly on staples far
in excess Of Minot prices. Goods
sold at extremely low prices are such
goods as small sizes and odd sizes,
such as shoes, for instance 2 1/2 triple
A which accumulate in any stock and
are hard to dispose of. Minot mer-
chants are following the market close
ly and it is doubtful If merchandise
can be found anywhere, priced more
reasonably than right here in Minot.
