MUCH LOVED WOMA N
PASSES TO HER REWARD

Ada Jane Laying was born at Eben-
ezer. Mimi, Oct. %, 1865, and died
at the home of her daughter, Joyce.
Wednesday, May q, 1881, at $3.50 of
heart asthma and a stroke.
Ada Laying spent her girlhood days
in Roscoe and attended. the public
school there and high school at Zum-
brota. She taught school for num-
Der of years.
March 26, 1884, Ada Laying was
married to Geo. w. Shells and they
began housekeeping on his farm near
Lakota, N. D. They lived on this farm
about Is years, when they moved to
West Concord, where Mr.. Shells
bought q general store. They lived
here till 1908. Mr.. Shells died in
1907 in Phenix, Ariz., where he and
Mrs Shells had gone for his health
for few weeks. Three children
were born to this union, DR.. Arthur
Shells of Saltwater; Mollie, who
passed away July %, 1929. and Joyce,

Minneapolis to be with her child
rem, who were attending the State
University. When Joyce, the young
est child, graduated and began
to practice dentistry, Mrs. Shells and
Joyce moved to Sandstone. where she
had since lived.
Mrs. Shells was a very faithful and
active member of the Methodist
Episcopal church. She was baptized
by Elder Hobart and united with the
church at Roscoe when she was II
years of age. She taught Sunday
school class of girls the number of
years she was in West Concord; she
was also president of the Ladies' Aid
and a member of the board of trustees
of the church and president of the
Red Cross. & ~
Eleven years ago Mrs. Shells suf-
fered stroke and had since had to
remain at home and live very quiet
life, but had been able to be up and
active most of the time. During the
eleven years she had never been heard
to complain or speak of her ailments.
She was woman of sterling quail
titles. She stood for the highest ideals
of life and was firm in her convic-
lions. She had done much of service
and did it joyfully. She was as ac-
tive and alert in the affairs of her
community and all church and public
activities, in thought and influence,
as she had always been. She was a
woman who was always ready to do
all she could for her neighbors and
friends, and had helped many to sue
cess. The memory of her useful life
will remain with those who knew
her, and her departure will not be a
loss to her relatives alone, but to all
who had made her acquaintance.
Funeral services were held at the
home of her daughter, Joyce, in Sand
stone, Friday, May 20, and she was
laid to rest by the side of her hus-
band and daughter in the Concord
cemetery. The Rev. ]. A. Hughes
had charge of the funeral service at
Sandstone and Mr.. Martin sang two
beautiful selections. The banks of
flowers spoke of the love, those she
was leaving, had for her.

SKAALAND TALKS
AT GRADUATION
Glass of Twelve Students Get Their
Diplomas at ASkOv Friday
Night, May 20.

Seven girls and five boys gradu-
.ated from the Askov high school this
year and the commencement exercises
were held Friday night, May 20, in
the D. B. S. hall. The stage was
decorated in the class colors with the
class motto, Follow the Gleam," in
large letters placed above the stage
All this together with bouquets OF
flowers arranged on the stage formed
a pleasing background to the excel
lent program rendered for the occa-
sion.
" s. G. Skaaland Speaks.
The program was opened by a
march played by the Askov orchestra
under the direction of Mrs. A. Henrik
sen after which two other numbers,
the salutatory, by Kathrine Arnbal
and a piano duet by the Misses Marie
Kilstofte and Esther Lindegaard were
presented before the address of the
evening was given by Supt. S. G. Skaa-
land of Sandstone. Mr.. Skaaland's
discourse was on education and in
detail he brought out the fact that
something more than mere material
gain should be in the minds of all
those being educated. They should
give service to the world and to the
community in which they find them
selves. Mr.. Skaaland likened educa-
ton to the preparation of the ground
before the seed is sown.
In talking of service. the speaker
called attention to the life of Pasteur.
the Frenchman who dedicated his
life to science and through his eff
forts, largely, the world has been
able + to study and combat disease.
Edison and others also came in for
examples of service to the commuh-
ity and the world at large.
Mr.. Skaaland in closing admonished
the graduates to serve the world to
the best of their ability and said it
was up to them to repay the Askov
community and their parents for the
efforts and money expended in their
education.
Supt Harald A. Petersen of the
-Askov school presented the diplomas
and gave brief review of the school
work and thanked the community as a
whole for its support in carrying on
the school work.
