favor of the Sunset Homes that leg
islators at the next session will con-
slider the bill favorably and enact it
into a law.
Following this talk the next feature
of the evenings program was con-
cert in which the musical organiza-
lions of the church all appeared. The
choir sang four songs, the orchestra
played four selections and the Hub
Glee Club, which made its initial ap-
pearance on this occasion, sang four
selections. A number of the songs
were the delightful old songs which
are always so pleasing and they were
well rendered by both the choir and
the Glee Club. Under the direction
of Mr.. Bittrich the orchestra greatly
pleased the audience with its selec-
tions. This is the first time a pro-
gram of this nature has been given
for many years and the audience was
greatly pleased by it.
During the next hour the company
adjourned to the church dining room
for social hour and enjoyment of a
delicious and substantial luncheon serv-
ed by the country division of the
Wesleyan Sisterhood. The ladies who
served are to be credited with con-
siderable bravery as well as much
kindness in serving this luncheon,
since they came, some of them for
a considerable distance, through snow
drifts and in the cold. This action
on their part was much appreciated
by the company partaking of their
hospitality, this company numbering
about two hundred.
The closing hour of the service was
devoted to the Watch Night service
proper and was religious in character.
Hymns were sung by the congrega-
ton and Rev. Paul L. Grove, the pas
tor of the church, then gave an inspir-
ing talk on starting new spiritual
life with the New Year. A simple, sin
cere and beautiful appeal for the cast
ing aside of the old life of doubt, fear
and disbelief was made, and the sug-
gested substitutes offered for these
undesirable qualities were a renewal
of faith, belief which shames fear,
and courage which is to be found
only in right living. The talk closed
with a few minutes of silent prayer
and short spoken prayer just as the
bells rang in the new year.

P. O. Callaghan Dies
Suddenly

who made many friends through his
genial and humorous personality. He
and his wife were among the earliest
of the pioneers who did so much for
the development of Redwood County
and their interest was shown in every
progressive movement put forward
in the early days. Loyalty to his
church, to his family and to his fri
ends were characteristics which en-
deared Mr.. Callaghan to all who knew
him. The following brief biographical
sketch is taken for the History of Red
wood County, issued z few years ago.
Patrick o. Callaghan, pioneer,
now living retired life in Redwood
Falls, has been a resident OF this
county for more than 45 years, and
during that time has taken his part
in its progress and development. He
was born in County Cork, Ireland,
March II, 1847, was there reared
and received such little schooling as
the neighborhood afforded. He was
an ambitious boy and desiring to
better himself, he set out for New
York in 1861 when only Ia years OF
age. That same year the civil war
broke out and although young Pat
rick o. was of too tender years TO
serve in that great conflict, he did
his share by working as cabin boy,
on transports carrying the Union
troops. After the war, he lived for
while in the cities of New Haven
and Bridgeport, Conn. 1t was IN
1866 that he came to Minnesota and
located in Washington county, where
he succeeded in securing work as
farm hand. In 1871 he found his
way to Redwood County and the fol-
lowing spring took up homestead
of 100 acres in section 49,, Shutdown
| township. Starting with the crudest
equipment and working under the
most primitive circumstances, ne
gradually built up fine farm, car
ried on general farming and live
stock raising and in time achieved
prosperity. In 1909, after long
life. filed with hard work, he moved
to his present home in Redwood Falls.
While never active in politics, Mr..
Callaghan served several years as
township accessor and has always
taken q deep interest in public at
fairs. Mr.. Callaghan was smarried
in October, 1874, to Mary Wandrey,
who was born in Posen, Germany,
October /, 1853, daughter Of Ernest
and Josephine (Richleau) Wandrey,
pioneers of Shutdown township. =

ton of the state banking department,

reserves or for other reasons, A. j.

reported today. The last to reopen
is the Mahnomen, Mimi, bank.
these banks have been saved from
liquidation and possible heavier loss
es to stockholders and depositors by
our system of nursing them along >
Mr.. Veigel said. an some cases
stockholders have paid in small as
sessments to meet the deficit. and in
others ordinary adjustments have been
possible"
The % banks, representing large
percentage of the institutions closed
since October, 1921, by order Of the
state banking department. were clos
ed from 10 days to a year and half.
In almost every case they reopened
without loss to depositors, in only two
or three cases, Mr.. Veigel said, a 10
per cent reduction in the deposits be-
ing necessary. The banks represent
ed deposits of $6,248,016 when they
closed.
