New Uniforms.

 

The militia company has been fitted out with a complete outfit of the new "Olive Drab" service uniforms this week. The suits are the same as those worn by the regular army and as their name indicates, are dark olive green in color. This color was adopted by the goverment on the grounds that on account of the similarity of color between the uniforms and grass and foliage, they would be practically invisible at a short distance.

In Memoriam.

 

Mrs. Lena Carlson of this city passed away at the home of her daughter, Mrs. John Nelson, last Tuesday, March 22, 1910, aged 88 years, death resulting principally from old age.

 

Her sweet face made sunshine in a shady place. If strangers felt the charm of her rare courtesy and joyous, sunny temperament, how much more so the members of her own household upon whom she lavished all the sweet earnestness and careful culture of her mind and nature. Strong and potent was the influence of this loving heart which gave of its gifts so generously. The spirit of her love was not weakness but strength. Gently, almost unconsciously, it coerced those coming in contact with it, to strive for if not to attain the realization of her high ideal.  She leaves two daughters and one son to mourn her death.

 

The services were held Friday at the Swedish Lutheran Church where a large number of friends and relatives gathered to pay the last tribute to the esteemed deceased.

 

In Memorian.

 

Died, at the home of his son Dr. J.N. Gould in our city, Dr. John G. Gould, of Fairmont, Minn., aged 66 years and 10 months.

 

For some time past Dr. John G. Gould was troubled with anemia and about two weeks ago decided to abandon his veterinary practice at Fairmont and come to this city to reside with his son, hoping that the rest and change would better his failing health.

 

But he is gone! Friday evening at 7 o'clock he answered the Master's call. Another name is stricken from the list of the living and the death of another loved one is being mourned. He was a man of excellent habits, fine moral character, and sturdy constitution and he continued to be active in his accustomed pursuits till long past the age at which men ordinarily drop out of the ranks of the workers.

 

Dr. Gould leaves three sons, all living and practicing veterinarian surgeons, to mourn his death besides many friends in this part of the country. His wife preceded him to the Life Beyond about two years ago.

 

The remains were taken to Fairmont Monday for interrment in the cemetery at that place. Dr. and Mrs. J.N. Gould and Harold Oakes accompanied the body to be present at the funeral.
