Anna Tres Heser

Mrs. Nicholas Heser, Sr., died about
six o'clock Sunday evening at her
home in this city. Diabetes, from
which she had long been sufferer,
was the cause of her death. Funer-
al services were held at the Catho-
lie church Tuesday and burial was
made in the Catholic cemetery be-
side her husband, who died in
March, 1922. She leaves to mourn
the loss of good and loving mother,
ten children, Henry, Nicholas, Jo-
seph, Anton, Mrs. Phil Murphy and
Mrs. F. H. Knabe of this city and vi
cinity, Mrs. w. H. Markell of Elgin,
ILL.,, Andrew and Mrs. j. G. Wendell
dorf of Jackson, Mimi. All but the
last two present at the funeral. Two
step-children, John Heser of Nebras-
ka and Mrs. A. L. Burch are also
left.
Anna Tres was born in Luxem-
burg, Germany, September Is, 1851.
In 1888 she married to Nicholas
Heser, who had come to America a
year before he sent for his bride,
and entering into his home she gave
the care of mother to his five
motherless children, besides caring
for the ten children of her own that
came to bless the marriage.
The Hesers spent Is years pio-
neering in Kansas and Nebraska,
then moved to Jackson county,
Minn., where they lived eight years.
Coming to Wolf Point in 1908, they
took up land south of the river, and
proved up homestead there. There
Mr.. Heser lived until his death, and
Mrs. Heser until last fall, when she
came to town and bought a house
beside her daughter, Mrs. Murphy.
Always patient and cheerful, no
matter how hard her task, or how
great her trouble, she was an inspir-
alton to her family and to others who
knew and respected her. Even when
suffering intensely during the last
weeks, she did not complain. She
filled her life with good deeds, the
memory of which will live long in the
hearts of those who knew her best.
Death brought release from pain and
the infimities of age.

Better Than In 1912

PALISADES AMUSEMENT
PARK GOSSIP

In an institution such as the park
there are a lot of folks whose names
never appear in the printed stories
and annals, so here goes for few
of the important links in the chain:
First, there's Jess, the cop at the
dance hall, and Johnny McEvoy, the
motorcycle cop that does duty on
Saturday and Sunday nights. You
notice we have not said anything of
Charley Strickland or his orchestra
or Phil Smith, the manager, because
their names are always popping up
in stories of the "acre square, pa
vilion.
Then there's the little cashier at
the vehicle gate, Helen, and Britt,
the chap that tells the cars where
they get off at
At the Scenic, there's one, Gus,
whose main idea of life is to have a
new complex every Monday morning.
First he wants to be prize-fighter,
then he comes out with a world wide
challenge to eat eight lemon -merange
pies at one sitting, or maybe it's at
one standing, and his latest wheeze,
to be a sheik.
Then there is Shorty, the electri-
clan, who at present is sporting two
egg-sized Jumps on the left front shin
bone due to his doubt of an irresist-
ible force meeting an immovable
body.
Then there is Ed McAndrews, who
owns twelve of the wheels, just out
OF a near-pneumonia sick-bed with a
nurse n everything
And Nat Harris who is walking
around sick-like, because a couple of
years ago he adopted a couple of
stray bullets in the pit of his stomach
and can't cough 'em up He owns
seven or eight wheels, has car and a
chauffeur and a spare.
And Mike McKenna, another cop,
whose post is the 5th avenue and 42nd
street of the park (right in front of
the Scenic). A noble lad and the
breath of ye auld sod.
Don't overlook Roscoe Schwartz, of
Palisadian., 1924-08-01

Mrs S. Boyer, who has been from
Grantwood for some time, in the west,
is now staying in Chicago for while.

the Ferris, who has one-tube set and
has gotten New York City on a good
night.
Or Jim ATLAS" Marks, the boss of
the gatemen and chief ticket chap at
the pool.
Or grand old Father Cleary, at the
Scenic, the beloved father of the park
boys, gentleman to his finger tips
end diplomat, and not very old at
that, if you figure fifty years as old.
Came to the park when Mr.. Schenck
first took over the reins fifteen years
ago and second in command ever
since. He could have an Office n
everything but prefers the bench in
front of the Scenic. Reads the Times
through every day, smokes about a
dozen Coronas a day and quits when
