Sophia E. Brewster

Mrs. Sophia Elizabeth Brewster died
at the home of her son, Frank Brewst-
er, at eleven o'clock last Friday night.
She suffered a stroke of apoplexy
about six o'clock in the evening be-
coming unconscious soon after, and
death came quietly late that same
evening. All of her children except
one son was with her at the time of
her death. This son, Charles of Ros-
well, N. Mexico, had visited his moth
er early in the summer, returning to
his home in the south only a few
weeks ago. Other members of the
family, two of whom came from the
Pacific coast and two from Saint Paul
arrived Friday noon and Mrs. Brewst-
er enjoyed family visit during the
afternoon. 1t is thought that her 'ex-
citement over the return Of her chill
dren and the extreme heat probably
hastened her death although she had
been failing throughout the summer.
She was eighty years of age last Octo-
Der.
Funeral services were held at the
home of her son Monday afternoon,
Rev, B. L. Main officiating. Favorite
hymns of Mrs. Brewster were sung by
Mrs. Max Treu and Mrs. C. A. Hillig.
Interment was made in the cemetery
of Redwood Falls.
Mrs. Brewster was the mother of
ten children seven of whom are living.
These are Mrs. Robt. Whyte, and
Frank Brewster of Redwood Falls,
Charles of New Mexico, John and Milo
of Saint Paul, Mrs. j. Fedderly of
Yakima and Bert of Walla Walla.
Mrs. Waldron, a daughter-in-law OF
Mrs. Brewster, and her husband were
also in attendance at the funeral.

Plan to Rebuild
Old Fort RidgIey
HISTORIC SPOT TO BE PRESERV.
ED-ARTIFICIAL LAKE
PLANNED.

Reconstruction of the old buildings
at Fort Ridgley, the formation Of an
artificial lake in the State park, sur
rounding it, and the improvement of
the historic spot were suggested and
heartily endorsed by 5000 people of
southern Minnesota, who assembled
at the old site August 20 to assist
IN observing the sixtieth anniversary
OF the lifting of the Sioux siege. Eff
forts will also be made to have the
place designated as National Guard
camping place. The celebration this
year drew the largest crowd on record
and all cities in this section were we'll
represented.
~it was explained at the meeting,
that general survey of the grounds
had been made during the summer
under the authority of the state audi
tor. 1t was found possible to dam
the large ravine which adjoins the
site and thereby create an artificial
lake which would be a material at
traction for the park. The associa-
tion will endeavor to put this through.
AS only the old stone commissary
building now remains standing, it was
proposed to reconstruct all of the old
buildings that were in use during
pioneer days at once, while some of
the defenders were still living to as
sist in rebuilding them accurately.
The old fort is one of the biggest
attractions of historical interest III
the entire west, speakers declared and
the perpetuation of it's history by
means of improving the park and in
visiting tourists and other pilgrims is
of the utmost Importance to Mime
sofa. The grounds, it was proposed,
should be so laid out that they would
become the mecca for hundreds OF
visitors annually. It was also pro-
posed that the site be used as the
training camp for the National Guard
of Minnesota next year and in future
years instead of Lake City. This
matter has already been broached
and something may turn up the COM
ing winter in political circles. By the
cooperation of the county boards,
cities and villages of the community,
the expense Of such an undertaking
would be small and the results will
be big. The matter will no doubt be
furthered in the near future.
Fort Ridgley is one of southern
