OBITUARY
MRS. MAREN ERICKSON

MRS. MAREN ERlCkSON
Maren Helgeson was born April
Z, 1S45, at Honfos, Norway. Her
parents were prosperous rural resi-
dents and girlhood was spent in
that vicinity. Education in those
days was obtained mostly from
travelling pedagogues who ent
from district to district conduct
ing classes formed from among
the neighborhood children. She
obtained her education in this
manner. In 1859 she was married
to Erick Erickson, a young man
who had also lived in the Honfos
neighborhood all of his life time.
The early part of their married
life was continued in the same To-
cality. Later on they moved to
Russian Finland where they lived
for two and a half years when
Mr.. Erickson was killed. He was
buried there and his wife went
back to her old home to live.
In 1890 Grandma came to
America. This is a memorable
year in Norway's political his
tory, as it was in that year that
she granted women the right to
vote, being the first nation in the
world to do so. Mrs. Erickson
went first to Ashby, Mimi, to
make her home, living there for
three a After that she lived
in Minneapolis until she came to
Wolf Point with her son Ole in
1912. Since then she has lived
here until three weeks before her
death when she went to Mime
apolis to visit her daughter, Mrs.
Frank Barney. 1t was at the home
of Mrs. Barney that she passed
away. During all her life she was
a devoted member of the Luther
an church.
Funeral services for Grandma
were held in Minneapolis under
taking parlor Wednesday and she
was buried in the Crystal Lake
cemetery.
"Grandma' is survived by a
brother and sister, twins; and four
children. The brother is Carl
Helgeson of Glenwood, Mimi, and
the sister, Mrs. Olive Amundson,
of Minneapolis. They are 81
years old. The children are Mrs.
Frank Barney of Minneapolis,
Mrs. William Harms of Seattle,
Wash, Elias Erickson of Fosston,
Mimi, and Ole Erickson of this
city. There are also two nephews
living here, Oscar and Melvin
Erickson who are sons of Elias
Erickson. In addition grandma"
has three children who are dead.
She is also survived by 10 grand
children and 3 great grandchild-
rem.
Grandma Erickson was a ia
miliar figure in Wolf Point since
the beginning of the town. In the
earlier days she was pleasantly
known to the patrons of the Erlck-
son hotel and many of them re-
membered many fond anecdotes
about her. She was particularly
fond of those who could converse
with her in her native language.
She was active up to the time she
left Wolf Point and might often
be seen taking her daily walk to
the post Office. After she was
taken i'll in Minneapolis her mind
was clear to the very end and she
inquired often for her Wolf Point
friends and relatives.

ARREST SUSPICIOUS
CHARACTERS in YARDS

George Grimes and Jim Burns
we're arrested in the local raliroau
yards Wednesday afternoon as
suspicious characters. The Incl
dent which caused their arrest by
officers Bannister and ohamley
was their attempt to sell artlcies
of new clothing to a group Oh
Southside farmers. the clothlng
was new and marked with price
tags evidently from a store SO
the farmers became suspicious OF
their actions and reported 10 the
officers.
The explanation the men made
of having the articles in thelr pos
session was that they had belong
ed to a former roommate of theirs.
However they are being held for
investigation. A circumstance
which is against them is that they
have told each officer VINO ques-
toned them conflicting stories,
and some of their stories contra
dicted previous ones A third
member of their alleged gang is
being sought in Fargo.
A notebook was found in the
possession of the men which con-
tanned a number of addresses of
parties living in the western states.
One of the mel asserted that he
had a sister living in Seattle,
Wash, and gave her address to
the officers. The same notebook
also contained a summary of some
kind of business transactions
which if it can be made to fit in
with other evidence the officers are
gathering may complete a story
as to just what their activities
are. The men say they came to
Wolf Point from the west.

While no announcement was made
by the commission, the prevailing
opinion among competent observers
was that lhe control body would not
adopt any station reduction plan for
general application to the country
as a whole, but rather would tackle
its admittedly difficulty problem in
a gradual manner by eliminating
only those stations which from time
to time are proven useless from a
public service standpoint.
S. b. Davis, solicitor of the COM
merce department, who is considered
an expert on radio matters, pro-
rosed that the commission consider
each application for a license on it's
merits from public service stand

sTeh the truth at all times and

evangelist, who is conducting revival
services at the Methodist church. "As
rule, assessors are not Christians.
Perhaps the reason is because they
have interviewed so many professed
Christians as to the value of their
property" he averred..
'.We do not need more Methodists'
more Baptists or more Presbyterians,
but we do need more Christians. That
great deceiver, the devil, can always
find many people to live his klnd OF

today are so much alike that you
cannot tell the difference.

abstain from evil, but from the very
appearance of evil. We are also told
to have no fellow ship with the un-
fruitful works of darkness. God
wants us to have no fellowship with

revolts at the things he would have
to listen to- You can't go to the
places they go and do the things
they do and remain a Christian.
