W.J. Dyer At Rest
W.J. Dyer, the gunsmith, died last Friday at the poor house,
after an illness of a few days duration, aged 70 years. The funeral was held
Monday from the undertaking rooms of Chaney & Mackay. Mr. Dyer was one of the
odd characters of Worthington. He was a single man and lead a very retired life.
While he was a first class workman, and seemed to have plenty of work, he was so
modest in his charges that he led a hand to mouth existence. The same
characteristic prevailed in all his relations and he probably did not have an
enemy on earth.

Married

was performed by the Rev. D'Argent, in the presence of about sixty relatives and
friends. The newly married couple start out in life with the well wishes of a
host of friends and with a bright future before them. The bride has lived in the
neighborhood from infancy and has grown to womanhood loved by all who knew her
for her many virtues and womanly qualities. Wherever help or kind words were
needed she was always there to fill the need and by her many kindnesses has
endeared herself to all her acquaintances. The groom was formerly employed in
the neighborhood and is well known in the locality, is at present in the employ
of the Great Northern railroad, with headquarters at Superior, and is esteemed
by all, for his numerous good qualities. The army of wedding gifts was large and
contained many costly articles.
------------------------

CAPT. S.S. SMITH
Is the New Commander of Company F, Second Regiment, M.N.G.
Election Held Tuesday Evening. C.B. Ward is First Lieutenant
At the close of the regular drill of Company F on Tuesday
evening occurred the election of a captain to succeed Capt. A. Schaefer, who has
been appointed on field staff with the rank of major. First Lieut. S.S. Smith
was chosen unanimously to fill the vacancy, and second Lieut. C.B. Ward was
advanced to first lieutenant, and First Sargent O.F. Blood was elected second
lieutenant. This causes a vacancy in the ranks of the non-commissioned
officers, which will be filled by appointment, and will probably cause an
advancement all along the line.
Maj. W.T. Mollison, of Faribault, was present at the drill and
made an unofficial inspection of the company and found the organization in such
excellent condition that he stated he would recommend that his report be
accepted as the official inspection which was scheduled for some time later.
After the election at the armory the company repaired to the
Western house, where a banquet was held, which proved a very enjoyable affair.
About fifty covers were laid. Maj. B.F. Thurber of this city and Maj. W.T.
Mollison, of Faribault, were guests of honor. Speeches were made by several of
those present. Major Mollison complimented the company very highly on high
standard of efficiency attained, and spoke an encouraging word for the future.
Company F is a little more than two years old, and during its
short career has made a record that has been the envy of many an older
organization. the credit for brining it to its present high standard belongs
mainly to Capt. Smith, who as first lieutenant has practically had full charge
of the company since its organization, and his elevation to the captaincy is a
fitting recognition of faithful and efficient service. First Lieut. Ward and
Second Lieut. Blood are both veterans of the Spanish war, and have both done
good service in the company. Company F is an organization in which every one in
Worthington takes pride, and we hope it will have a long and honorable career.
Married
On Saturday Feb 22, 1908, at eleven o'clock a.m., Richie Maxwell

Rev. I.H. Darnell performing the nuptial ceremony. The bride was garbed in white
throughout and the groom was clothed in the conventional black. A number of
lovely and useful presents were tendered the couple as a token of esteem. After
a bountiful dinner the couple left on the two o'clock train for Windom where
they will reside. The bride has lived in this vicinity since childhood. For a
number of years she was one of Nobles county's successful school teachers and
for the past seven years has been secretary of the Nobles County Sunday School
Association.

well wishes for their future happiness and prosperity.
