PIONEER RESIDENTS
CALLED DURING WEEK
City Mourns Three Respected Pho
neers, F. M. Haight, Mrs. L. H.
Schuman and ]. D. 0rtman
J. D. Ortnan


Like one who wraps the drapery
of his couch
About him, and lies down to pleasant
dreams"
Thus passed on Tuesday morning
J. D. Ortman,. pioneer settler and
veteran mail carrier of this city.
Except for a slight indisposition
which manifested itself in cough
and some pains in the chest Mr.. Ort-
man was enjoying normal health on
Monday. He carried his mail as US
ual on Route No. l, battling the Bit
ing wind and humping over the
rough roads that hissservice might be
faithfully performed. He spent the
evening with his family reading and
resting from the hard days work,
and retiring as usual to again re-
sumo his duties on the morrow.
He did not arise at his usual hour
on Tuesday morning and when Mrs.
Ortman would have called him at
about seven o'clock, she found that
tho his liveless form reposed as in
peaceful sleep, yet the spirit had an
swered the final call.
The other members of the family
at home, their son, J. H. Ortman, and
daughter, Miss Florence Ortman,
ministered to their mother, and noti-
fed other relatives and friends. AS
the word flew about the city, the re-
port could scarcely be credited. Ex-
pressions of sympathy for the sorrow
ing and words of admiration for the
departed one were universally made.
J. D. Ortman was born February
%, 1856 in St. Paul. He lived there
until the age of five, then moved to
Woodbury. township in Ramsey coun-
ty, where he lived until 1877. In
that year he took a homestead in
Pepperton township, where he was
married December IA, 1882, to Caro-
line C. Boedecker, and where he con-
tinued to reside until the fall Of
1885. He then moved to st. Paul.
where he worked with the Adams
Express Company. He cameeback to
Morris in the spring of 1900 and has
resided here ever since. For the past
10 yCdA hCLS OCCA SAC IA 1A AOAbO
carrier on Route No. l out of Nor
fis, and in point of service, as rural
carrier was the oldest.
He was a member of the Methodist
church, in the activities of which he
was a faithful worker. He was a
devoted husband and father, kind
neighbor and good citizen and was
held in the highest esteem in the
community for his sterling qualities
of character. He was member of
the Maccabee lodge.
Besides his widow, he is survived
by seven grown children, Mrs. J. s.
Goodell, of Barnum, Mimi, Walter
e. Ortman of Yakima, Wash, Mrs.
Geo. Beise of Morris, Cyrus G. Ort-
man of Baudette, Florence E. Ort-
man, John H. Ortman and Mildred
G. Ortman, all of Morris. The fol-
lowing brothers and sisters also sur
vive: R. B. Ortman, Mrs. Chas. Wit
eel, Mrs. Elizabeth Wo1terstorff and
Mrs. Geo. Brandt, all of st. Paul.
The funeral will be held from the
Methodist church this afternoon, the
services having been delayed until to-
day that Walter Ortman might come
from Washington. All the other
children are present.

Will Give Free Program at the Arm

December IA

Father. Flanagan and his twenty
boys from Omaha, Nebraska, are
booked to give a performance at the
Armory at 8:15 Thursday, Decem-
ber IA. Matinee at 1900 D. m. for
all school children. Absolutely no
children will be admitted to evening
performance. er.Te# f.sa
From all reports this is one Of the
most interesting and entertaining
shows to be seen here this season,
consisting as it does Of a sixteen
piece boy band, an orchestra, boy So
loists, orators and comedians. With
the exception of Father Flanagan
the entire performance is given by
boys.
Father Flanagan who has been
called "The man who has given his
life for the cause of the homeless
boy will make short address based
on his investigations of juvenile de-
linquency in ten countries of the
world. He is recognized authority
on boys and their problems.
Starting out last May this troupe
played the larger towns of Nebraska
during the summer months and was
greeted by enthusiastic audiences in
every place it showed. T..
Father Flanagan's Boys Home of
Omaha was started nearly FIVE years
ago to fill. the needs of all homeless,
abandoned and wayward boys and in
it's brief existence has already gained
"a national reputation. In that time
it has cared for nearly 1900 boys Of
every race, creed and color.
1t is nonsectarian and nonproselyt-
ing, and is endorsed by prominent
people Of nearly every state.
Situated at Overlook Farm of $50
acres, ten miles west of Omaha on the
Dodge Street road, it is frequently
referred to as the Paradise of Boys"
A new 100000 thoroughly modern,
f1re-proof building is now being COM
pleted and this, together with the
farm buildings, workshops, etc.,
makes almost complete city.
The Home has a fine herd of cows,
several splendid teams of horses for
farm work, a blacksmith shop, shoe
repair shop. creamery. laundry. bak-
cry, etc.. on the farm.
There are now living in the Home.
over $50 boys and great rivalry ex-
lists in securing a. place in the troupe
which will show here. Nearly every
hour OF the day at the Home some
would-be Caruso or Mccormack may
be heard trying out his voice on the
cows, sheep, or chickens; while In
the recreation room one or more boys
are sure to be practicing on band
instrument Some time ago John
McC Cormack, the famous Irish tenor,
visiting the Home and paid high
compliments to the voices Of several
of tn boys with the present troupe.
There being no admission charged
everything being free-it is an
ticipated an enormous crowd will
turn out. In several places where
the boys have given their perform
ance, thousands have been turned
away and several times it was found
necessary to give a second perform
ance at the conclusion of the first.
So to make sure you do not miss the
show, go early and pick out good
seat. .~
