Married in Worthington.

The office of the county clerk was the scene of a wedding Monday afternoon, the contracting parties being Gustave Meyer and Miss Regina Brandt, both of Potawatomie county, Iowa. The couple appeared at the clerk's office and made application for license, and as both qualified satisfactorily, the necessary permission was granted. They then asked where they could find a justice who could unite them in a quick and satisfactory manner. They were informed that they need seek no further as Court Commissioner Stevens was an expert in that line, and in a very few minutes the ceremony was concluded, with Commissioner Stevens in the role of justice. County Clerk Humiston and Auditor Pannell witnessed the ceremony.

Death of Dow Mitchell

the sad news was heralded about town Monday morning that Dow Mitchell had passed away during the night. Although not unexpected, still the intelligence cast a gloom over the entire community, where Dow's friends were limited only to his acquaintances. To know him was to like him. Death came early Monday morning, following an attack of blood poisoning, from which he had been a sufferer for several weeks.

The injury which ultimately resulted in death was received last spring. While making some repairs on a fence at his farm residence in Lorain township, he accidentally drove a nail into his knee. Little attention was paid to the injury and it apparently healed up and was to all appearances as well as ever, but the bone was injured and about chautauqua week it began to pain him. Thinking it merely a soreness resulting from the old injury, and failing to realize the seriousness of it, he worked all week at the chautauqua grounds. The next week, however, the inflammation had become so intense that he was compelled to seek medical attention, and took to his bed, from which he never arose. In spite of all that surgical skill could accomplish, he continued to decline until it was deemed advisable to amputate the limb. This Mr. Mitchell refused to consent to until last Sunday, when Dr. Weidow, assisted by Dr. F.S. Hough, of Sibley, removed the injured member. It was necessary to amputate the bone twice, as it was found upon examination that the bone was diseased higher up than at first supposed, so the extremity was moved about three inches further up to a point a little more than half way between the knee and the hip. The patient came out from under the anaesthetic in good shape and had apparently a chance to recover, but the magnificent physique had been too strongly undermined by the poison and about four o'clock he went into a sinking spell from which he never rallied, death being due directly to heart failure.

Dow Mitchell was born in Winnebago county, Ill., February 2, 1861, consequently he was aged 47 years, 5 months and one day, at the time of his untimely death. Deceased was for a number of years engaged in the meat business in Worthington, where he made friends with all with whom he came in contact.  He was married and the father of a bright little daughter, who with his widow and adopted son are left to mourn his loss.

Funeral services were held at the Presbyterian church Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock, attended by a large concourse of sorrowing friends and relatives.

The remains were sent to his former home at Peccatonica, Ill., for interment, leaving here Tuesday afternoon.

Lawn Social.

There will be a lawn social held at the home of G.M. Walker on Thursday evening, August 13th. Everybody is invited to attend and enjoy themselves. It will be under the auspices of the Christian Endeavor.  -Committee.

Death of a Former Resident.

The following obituary notice may be of interest to the older citizens of Nobles county as the subject was one of the first settlers in the county, having come to Nobles county before the present site of Worthington was surveyed. The notice, taken from an Iowa paper follows:

Benjamin Franklin Tanner was born at Oxford, Michigan July 8, 1842 and died at Camanche, Iowa, August 11th 1908, aged 66 years 1 month and 3 days.

On February 4th, 1861, he was united in marriage to Miss Harriette M. Oakes and in October of that year, moved to Minnesota, and in 1862 he enlisted in Company K, 9th Minn. Vol. Infantry, and served until the close of the war.

After leaving the services of his country he moved his family to southwestern Minnesota where later he took up a soldier's claim where the most of their lives were spent and where six children were reared, one son and five daughters, all of whom with his wife, survive him, Nellie, Mrs. J. Mortenson, residing in Minnesota, Clara, Mrs. Danielson of Oregon, Carrie, Mrs. O.B. Lacy, residing in Camanche, Iowa, Georgianna, Mrs. Marshall, who resides in the state of Washington, Sylvester B. Tanner, of South Dakota, and Lydia, Mrs. McLeod, whose home is in Minnesota.

In June, 1907, Mr. Tanner and his wife came to Camanche, Iowa, to be near their daughter,  Mrs. O.B. Lacy, where their home has since been and where on Tuesday, August 11th, 1908, the end came after months of suffering from ailments brought on by exposure during his time of service in the civil war.

The funeral service took place from the Baptist church in Camanche at 2:30 p.m. on Thursday, August 13th, following which interment was made in Camanche cemetery.

PIONEER PASSES AWAY
E.L. Wemple Prominent Citizen of Rushmore Died Monday.

On Monday, August 24th, at 11 o'clock Hon. Evert Lansing Wemple passed away at his home in Rushmore, after a year of ill health caused by paralysis. Up to about three years ago Mr. Wemple was a rugged man and in excellent health, but since that time he has gradually declined in body, though his mind was as clear and active as ever. About six months ago his voice failed him, due to paralysis and this made it very hard for him and his family, as he was naturally energetic and loved to discourse with his neighbors and friends. Few men of his age retained the power to remember both ancient and modern history as did Mr. Wemple. Always a great reader and thinker, he was able to discourse on all subjects with ease and always commanding attention.

Mr. Wemple was born of revolutionary parents in New York state May 31, 1835, and has ever carried the patriotic spirit with him, both in his public and private life. Others may have forgotten the national holidays, but Mr. Wemple never. He remembered them with a patriotic feeling and often did his national flag from civil war times remind others of the occasion as it floated from the flag staff on his lawn.

On January 17, 1858, deceased was married to Elizabeth Sieber, who has ever been his helpmeet and a kind and loving wife. On January 17th last they celebrated their golden wedding at Rushmore with all the members of the family present.

In 1878 Mr. Wemple came to Rushmore with the New York colony, when the town was scarcely a spot on the map and that place has been his residence until the day of his death. With Mr. Al. Seney he helped to lay out the town site and has had more or less to do with the town ever since, having charge of the original townsite to the time of his death. No public matter came up in the town, township or county that Mr. Wemple was not interested in. He was ever ready to lend his services to old and young for the upbuilding of good principles and high motives; always had a good word for everybody, yet was ever ready to denounce wrong doing and conditions unfavorable to town or state.

Mr. Wemple was active in public life as well as private. Evera  staunch republican he made his stand and both the voter and the office seeker knew where he stood on all questions. In early times he served as one of the first judges of probate of Nobles county, was justice of the peace for several years and served on the township board of Dewald. For twenty years he was an active member on the school board, being treasurer the entire time. For six years he served as post master, but was forced to resign on account of ill health.

Mr. Wemple is survived by his wife and five children, all of whom have been with him during his last sickness. His children are: Edwin S., of Rushmore; Sheldon, of Minneapolis; James, of St. Paul; Mrs. A. Schafer, of St. Paul, and Mrs. W.H. Booth, of Sioux Falls.

The funeral was held Wednesday afternoon from the M.E. church, where deceased had been a contant [constant?] attendant for thirty years, and the remains taken to Sioux Falls and laid to rest with other relatives in the family lot.

Rushmore has lost one of her oldest and most highly respected citizens, a good neighbor and one who was always ready to lend a helping hand. He will be missed by old and young for it is hard to forget a face such as that of Mr. Wemple after thirty full years of continual association on the corner, where he has lived and where he passed away.

Perhaps S.C. was afraid to trust his own judgement and brought Burr along to help with the selection. At any rate they took home a splendid specimen of the canine family.

Burglars

The residence of Ralph Long, opposite the Omaha depot, was entered some time Monday night by burglars and a ladies' necklace and bracelet taken. The loss was discovered Tuesday morning and reported to the police, but as there was absolutely no clue as to the identity of the miscreant he has not been apprehended.

The work was probably done my some of the many hoboes who infest the city at the present time, and the perpetrator probably left the city immediately.
