Bruno Man Dies
In Duluth After
A Brief Illness
Services Held Saturday for
Grant E. Cault, Pioneer
Settler i'm Pine County.

An old-time resident of the Bruno
community was called by death last
Thursday when Grant Gault, pioneer
settler there, died in Duluth hos
pital. He had been ill with flu re-
Gently and had seemingly recovered
but other complications later set in,
and following three days illness
with cerebral meningitis and pneu-
monia he passed away peacefully.
Grant Ellis Gault was born July
"a, 1866, in Versailles, Indiana. At
Carson, Iowa, he was united in mar
riage to Miss Martha Osler on Feb.
IL, 1888. They lived in that state
several years and later made their
home at Montrose, S. D., and in the
winter of 1905 the family came to
the Bruno community to a farm east
of town. There were no roads or
schools there so two years later they
moved into the village so that the
children could be educated in the pub
lie school, and Mr.. Gault worked as
engineer at the Bruno SaWmillS
Served Community Well.
Mr. Gault was a good Christian
man, a member of the Methodist
church, and was always interested
in the enterprises and development
of his chosen community. He will
be remembered by his friends for
his quiet, easy manner and his COM
Portable philosophy of life. He was
janitor of the Bruno school for ii
years and thought of the children
there as his own and always treated
them with kindness. A good sports
man, he was fond of hunting and
fishing and at the time of his death
was president of the Bruno Conser-
walton club and justice of the peace.
For IL years he had been a deputy
state boiler Inspector In October,
1888, he retired from active work
to take well-earned rest
Mr. and Mrs. Gault observed their
golden wedding anniversary Feb. IL,
1888, when nearly 800 friends and
relatives gathered to honor them in
a ceremony held in the auditorium
of the Bruno school. 1t was a mem
orable and happy occasion for them
as all their children were present to
spend the day with them. Mrs. Anna
Gault and children of WrenShall, wife
and family of son who died a few
years ago, also came to help them
celebrate.
Services Saturday.
Funeral services for Mr. Gault
were held from the Bruno Presby-
terian church Saturday afternoon at
2:30 o'clock with Rev. c. Ward Simp-
son of Duluth, and Rev. John j. Moedt
in charge. Burial was made in the
Bruno cemetery. The pallbearers
were six grandsons of the deceased.
Mrs. Gault survives as do also six
children, William of Wrenshall, Mrs.
Walter Bran (Maud) of Minneapolis,
Mrs. Sydney Bowman (MabeD, Mrs.
Leo Forsyth (Merle), Glen and Mar
ion, all of Duluth. One son, Ray
mond, died at the age of A. Other
survivors are brother, Ellsworth,
of Emerson, Iowa, and % grandchil-
dren. Among the many who were
in attendance at the last rites was
an old-time Bruno resident and per-
sonal friend, Pat Gallagher, of South
st. Paul.
A host of friends and acquaintance
in the Bruno community and else
where extend sympathy to the sor-
rowing relatives in their sad be-
reavement.
