Final Tribute Is Paid
Late j. E. Diamond
Funeral Services Were Held In
Minneapolis On Satur-
day Afternoon

Minneapolis, December 19.-To
John e. Diamond, organizer of the
movement that led directly to devel-
opment of South Dakota, friends Sat
urday paid tribute at funeral services
in Westminster church. Mr.. Diamond
died at Rochester following an opera
tion. Interment was ut Lakewood
Cemetery.
In 1896, when Mr.. Diamond was
acting as the only national bank ex-
aminer in North and South Dakota
and Wyoming, he travelled over South
Dakota and foresaw the opportunities
in that state for development of
farm lands. His development plan
was sold" to the Northwestern rail-
way and thousands OF farmers were
brought into the state. Ni..
1854, he came with his parents to ST.
Paul three years later. The party
went to Mankato. His father, John
Diamond. became sheriff of Blue
Earth county in the Civil war period,
and the son for a snort time served
as deputy. In 1879 John E. Diamond
graduated from the Michigan law
school and was admitted to the bar
in Minnesota and South Dakota. In
tue edIly GUS ne served as attorney
for the North Western railway. From
1890 to 1896 he served as national
bank examiner. In the period of f.
nancial stress in 1898 he was sent to
Minneapolis to cooperate. Later he
became president of the first real es-
tate board of the state which brought
about the development movement.
He returned to Mankato in 1900
and devoted his efforts to the banking
and loan and farm land business.
Since coming to Minneapolis and es-
tablishing the John L. diamond Land
& Loan company, he confined his op-
erations to Minnesota lands.
Mr.. Diamond was recognized as a
civil leader, an able hnancier and a
political diagnosdcan. He never
sought political Office, however.
In the World war he was unable to
serve because of his age, but he sent
personal letters, accompanied by
checks to many men who had enlist
ed, expressing appreciation.
The active pallbearers at the fun
eral services yesterday were John H.
Ray, Jr, George E. Murphy, George
Norton and Draper D. Dayton, The

der, Ralph Wheelock. Joseph e.
