WILL CRAMER AND HARRY DIXON TWO LOSE LIVES IN AUTO ACCIDENT
WILL CRAMER AND HARRY DIXON DEAD FROM CAR COLLISION SATURDAY NIGHT As the result of nearly a straight head-on collision between two automobiles on the Arnolds Park road Saturday night Will Cramer of this place and Harry Dixon of Des Moines are dead, Spencer Polland is under the doctor's care, and Roy Christensen and Ray Leonard are nursing severe bruises. It is thought Cramer was killed instantly, while Dixon lived until nearly noon on Sunday although so seriously injured that he never regained consciousness. The terrible accident happened about mid-night Saturday at a point about twenty rods south of the buildings on the John Cory farm, until this year occupied by John Heighton. The cars which came together were the new Ford Sedan owned by Peter Christensen, which was being driven by his brother, Roy, and the little white runabout built and owned by Will Cramer for two years prior to his going away last fall when he sold it to Ray Leonard of Crandall's lodge, which was driven by Mr. Leonard. The story of the accident goes that Roy Christensen had taken two lady friends to the dance at Arnolds Park and as Spencer Poland was to have been a member of the party but could not get away until after the closing of the store, Roy had driven up after him about 11 o'clock. Francis Kuhn and Dewey Weed who were at the Park ask to ride with him and while he was waiting for Spencer, Dewey, who had taken a party to the party, got Darrell Francis to do down with them to come back with him in his car. Roy left here shortly after 11:30 with Spencer in the front seat with him and the other three boys in the back seat. Presumably about the same time as the Christensen car left Spirit Lake, Ray Leonard, who together with Will Cramer and Harry Dixon, had been spending the evening at the Park loaded up for coming home, with Ray at the wheel. Will Cramer in the seat beside him and Dixon seated upon Cramer's lap. As they neared the point where the accident happened both the drivers saw the other car coming. From the marks in the road while being a little on their side, yet both were driving the middle very closely. Both the drivers were to a disadvantage owing to the left head light on the Leonard car having gone bad and was not burning, which made it hard for Christensen to determine just the path the roadster was traveling, and in turn with the lights on the Christensen car higher and shining directly into Leonards eyes with no light on that side of his car to assist him in following the course of the Christensen car. Christensen saw his fate when about twenty feet from the other car and applied the breaks with all his might but without much avail as the two cars were together in a second. From the position of the Leonard car and the looks of his car it would lend one to believe that he also saw the ultimate collision and switched the head of his car somewhat to the right but too late. The cars struck a little short of half and half a s the imprints up on the cars show, and the Leonard car being low-down and headed a little to the side the Christensen car after leaving its wheel at the radiator the hub went up over mashing the radiator, ripped open the hood, tore off the one seat occupied by the two men, and coming off and mashing the rear wheel. Just what happened, how the boys received their fatal injuries is much of a conjecture. When everything was over the Christensen car was standing about straight across the road east and west with it from just a little short of the center of the road, while the Leonard car seemed to have kept its course head to the northeast with its rear close to the front of the Christensen car. The Leonard car being a right hand drive saved him, although he was thrown clear from the car alighting on his head and shoulder. In the impact of the two cars it is thought that Dixon, who was setting on Cramer's lap, was thrown up against the cowl of the Sedan as there is imprints of a hard blow there with blood and hair upon it. He is said to have suffered a basal skull fracture together with fractures of his right leg in several places together with other bruises. Cramer who was dead when picked up, upon examination was found to have had his chest crushed presumably from the impact from Dixon upon him when the cars struck as there was a bad dent in the seat from where it struck the big gas tank. Both were found on the ground between the two cars, Cramer dead and Dixon suffering untold agony. The boys in the Sedan while not seriously injured were badly shaken up. Roy Christensen is able to be around although very sore from his several bruises. Spencer Poland received a severe injury to his hip besides being badly cut from the glass from the windshield about his head. Reports are to the effect that the ligaments were torn loose from his hip, and it will necessitate him being laid up for several weeks. The boys in the rear seat came out without injury. Fully ten minutes had elapsed before another car arrived upon the scene and in the meantime, the boys in the Sedan had gotten over the shock and gotten out. Darrel Francis had taken Spencer to the Cory place in hopes of reaching a telephone, but no one was at home. Roy Christensen and Ray Leonard started for the Lockard place. Mrs. Horatio White with her car with a load of guests were the first to arrive at the scene of the accident, closely followed by R. K. Woodrum who was returning from the Park with six passengers. Mr. Woodrum came near adding to the disaster of the accident and but for the presence of mind would have struck the Sedan full side. While his lights were not working good he could discern the white roadster on the right hand side of the road in his track but thinking it was some on fixing a tire he turned over to the left to pass when the Sedan loomed up right in front of him. He figured it out in a second that there was but one place for him and that was in the ditch and although a desperate attempt with six passengers in his car he shot it down into the ditch and as luck was with him struck the other side in such a way to right his car and made the grade again without disaster. In driving down into the ditch he felt he was at least safe from hurting anyone that might be in the wreck until he saw someone lying directly in his path, but was able to switch the car so as to miss him by only a few inches. It happened to be Dewey Weed who after getting out of the Sedan had gone to the roadside and laid down to regain his equilibrium again. Mrs. White brought Spencer Poland directly to Dr. J.D. Geissinger's office followed shortly by the Woodrum car bearing Cramer and Dixon. Dixon was also taken to the office of Dr. Geissinger, where every medical assistance was rendered him. He was later removed to the Antlers Hotel, and Spencer Poland was taken to the home of Mr. and Mrs. White. The remains of Mr. Cramer were taken to the Donavon Undertaking parlors. After his brother Moody Cramer was summoned from Tate Barr's and an examination was made the remains were prepared for shipment to the home of his parents at Audubon, on the early Monday morning train. Mr. and Mrs. Moody Cramer accompanied the remains. The funeral services were held in the Evangelical church at that place on Wednesday. William Henry Cramer, son of Mr. and Mrs. S.W. Cramer, was born March 22, 1889, aged twenty-nine years, two months and eight days. He came to Dickinson county with his parents seven years ago, most of which time he has been associated with W.W. Snow in the garage. He left here last fall going to Minneapolis to enlist, but was not accepted and from there went to California where he spent the winter months. He returned from his winter's stay in the west only Thursday of last week and had made all arrangements to again take up his position with Mr. Snow beginning Monday morning. He was a young man of clean habits and much ability along his line. He was a member of Twilight Lodge, A.F. & A.M. of Spirit Lake. Harry Dixon, was the son of Mr. and Mrs. E.E. Dixon, a contractor of Des Moines. He would have been nineteen years of age had he lived until the 19th of June. He has been employed since about April first together with other workmen from Des Moines by J. Ringland of that city who is re-building the Byers cottage at Crandall's Lodge. His remains were shipped to Des Moines Monday afternoon. He was highly spoken of by those with whom he came in contact. Spencer Poland was moved from the White home to his home Wednesday evening. Reports are to the effect that Ray Leonard sold his wrecked car to Omer Timpe for $40. Work has started on the Christensen car to again make it into an automobile. Spirit Lake Beacon 06/06/1918

Francis Janet Barr Stillwell MRS. STILLWELL DIED SUDDENLY SHOCK FROM FIRE CAUSES ALMOST SUDDEN DEATH - HAD BEEN IN POOR HEALTH Mrs. B.C. Stillwell, aged 73 years, 9 months and 5 days, who has been making her home with her son, Frank Stillwell, passed away almost suddenly just prior to the noon hour Monday. Although Mrs. Stillwell had been very poorly for the past six months yet her death was undoubtedly materially hastened by the fright, excitement and probably sudden over exertion for a lady of her years. Mrs. Stillwell was at home alone when she looked out of the kitchen window and discovered a fire in the chicken yard eating its way toward the garage. Mrs. Frank Long had seen the fire and hastened to the Stillwell home, together with Mrs. West. The three endeavored to stop the fire but in vain and soon after the arrival of the department and the public it was discovered Mrs. Stillwell was in sore distress. Dr. P.G. Grimm happened to be present and immediately administered firs t aid services but she only survived a few moments. The funeral services were held from the M.E. church Wednesday afternoon at 2:30 conducted by Rev. Hutchinson. Interment was made in the Lake View cemetery. Francis Janet Barr, eldest child of George and Miranda Yarnes Barr, was born July 25, 1855 at Broome county, New York, and passed away Monday, April 30, 1928, aged 73 years, 9 months, 5 days. At the age of nine years she came with her parents to Spirit Lake arriving here September 22, 1864. February 22, 1866 the father of this family was taken in death during one of the awful blizzards that often occurred here in those earlier days - and much of making a livelihood for the family devolved upon this little girl. Here she grew to beautiful womanhood ever faithful in the performance of her duties to her widowed mother, younger sister and baby brother. On July 2, 1871, she was united in marriage to Benjamin C. Stillwell. To this union ten children were born. Two have preceded her in death. Consider A. Stillwell, the eldest son, having passed away twenty years ago and the second daughter, Mrs. Maude Chandler, who was taken Oct. 22, 1918, during the influenza epidemic. Those who are left to mourn her passing are: Frank, of Spirit Lake, Mrs. Alta Taylor of Huron, S.D., Lucile Noland of Menahga, Minn., Melissa Bellows of Spirit Lake, Tate of Spirit Lake, Emma Baker of Jackson, Minn., Vera Johnson of Spirit Lake and Francis Perival of Sebeka, Minn. Since the death of her husband, nearly eight years ago, she had made her home with her two sons. Four years ago she came to live with Frank, when he was deprived of his companion. She knew the hardships of pioneer days and to share with those less fortunate. No sacrifice or labor was too hard for her if it brought comfort or pleasure to her family, friends or neighbors. She was a real Christian, seeing the good in everyone and treating all with charity and many are they who have found life's pathway more pleasant because of her sunny presence. Mrs. Stillwell joined the Baptist church when a young lady, in which church she lived until coming to live with her son Frank, when she joined the Methodist Episcopal church of Spirit Lake. She fulfilled in her life the three great realities of which St. Paul speaks, Faith, Hope, Love. These abide. Spirit Lake Beacon 05/03/1928

George Stillwell In Spirit Lake township, October 13th, George W. Stillwell, aged 70 years. This call was very sudden and the announcement came as a shock to the community. For several months Mr. Stillwell has been ailing. He has been much less active than usual and suffered considerably but was not supposed to be in any immediate danger. Monday he husked corn all day. He was eating supper and without a premonitory symptom dropped over and out of life. Deceased was born in New York. As a little boy he was brought to Ohio, where a considerable portion of his life was spent. In manhood he moved to Michigan, then to Wisconsin, then to Winneshiek county, Iowa. In 1870, we believe, he came to this county, taking a homestead in Spirit Lake township, where he has since lived. He experienced all the hardships incident to pioneer life, including poverty, privation, grasshoppers and all. He saw many gloomy days, and was here in the darkest period known to this section. It was only by the hardest work and strictest economy that he saved his farm. In later years he has been comfortably conditioned with a fine farm, a good home, and plenty all around. Mr. Stillwell was a man of rugged mould, strong individuality, determined in thought and action. He differed radically from other men in some respects, and always had the courage to support his independent thinking. His death removes a conspicuous figure in the community. The family was much attached to him, and deeply feel their loss, while many of his neighbors will for many years miss this venerable pioneer. Under a rough exterior and blunt manner he had a kindly heart. Deceased was married in 1843 to the wife who survives. To this pair fourteen children were born, seven of whom survive: Ben Stillwell, Mrs. W.P. Foote, Ed, and Howard Stillwell and Mrs. George Mitchell, reside in this community. Mrs. Dyer lives at Luverne and Mrs. Collett in the state of Washington. Funeral services were conducted at the home Wednesday afternoon by Rev. T.R. Greene, and a large concourse of friends and neighbors followed the remains to the Lakeview cemetery. Spirit Lake Beacon 10/17/1890

Harriett Ann Stillwell GRANDMA STILLWELL SUMMONED HOME Mrs. Stillwell Came to Dickinson County with Her Husband Forty-three Years Ago Mrs. Harriett Ann Stillwell died at the home of her son, H.A. Stillwell, Sunday, July 16, 1911, aged 88 years and 22 days. Grandma Stillwell is gone. The life that has born the mother to the Stillwell families in Dickinson county for the past forty-three years has passed out. Little was thought a few weeks ago when the large number of children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren gathered about her in celebration of her eighty-eighth anniversary that they would soon be called to gather again in an hour of sorrow. The life has passed on to reward and rest for so well done was her labors here on earth that few have the honor of being mother to as large a descendant of esteemed citizens as are the Stillwell families. Harriett Ann Scudder was born in Brunswick, New Jersey, June 23, 1823. Moved with her parents to Ohio, when a mere child October 19th, 1843. She was married to George W. Stillwell at Piqua, Ohio. Later the family moved to Madison, Wisconsin, and a few years later to Winneshiek county, this state. About forty-three years ago they came to this county, settling on the old homestead in Spirit Lake township. Thirteen children were born in this family, nine of which reached the years of manhood and womanhood. Two married daughters and a son died years ago. Six children, three sons and three daughters, survive to testify to the true noble worth of mother: Benjamin, Edward and Howard Stillwell, Mrs. Agnes Mitchell and Mrs. W.P. Foote, of this vicinity, and Mrs. Dyer of Kalispell, Montana. All but the last named were at the bedside when the end came. Besides these children there are thirty-eight grandchildren and forty-six great grandchildren to love and reverence the memory of grandma. Grandma and Aunt Harriet, as she was familiarly known to the older residents lived her quiet, unassuming life in her home and community, doing all in her power to make others happy and comfortable. Many are the deathbeds she has soothed: many the baby she has welcomed to the homes of this county: many the tired, hungry or storm-bound wayfarer has been warmed and fed in her humble home during the pioneer days, and during the bitter winters and grasshopper sea on her management and thrift smothered out the difficulties. Out of her scant supply oil and meal were always divided with those more needy. Sustained by a deep abiding faith in her Savior, she lived a life full of true usefulness. Since the death of her husband twenty years ago Mrs. Stillwell had a home with her son Howard, where everything was done to make her declining years pleasant and peaceful. She passed away quietly Sunday evening just at the sunset hour after an illness of six days. Truly the sheaf was well filled and ripe for the gardener, aye, anxiously awaiting the summons home. The funeral services were held Tuesday afternoon. Brief services were held at t he home at 2 o'clock and at the M.E. church at 2:30, where a large concourse of relatives and friends gathered to pay their last respects to this esteemed pioneer. Rev J.A. Kettle of Belmond preached the funeral sermon assisted in the services by Rev. W.J. Todd. The remains were interred in the Lakeview cemetery. Those from a distance attending the funeral were: Mrs. Dozenburg and daughter, of Mankato, Minnesota: Mrs. Matilda Chapin, Mrs. E. Morse and Grand Chapin, of Luverne, Minnesota: Mrs. Raymond Huntley of Peoria, Illinois: Mr. and Mrs. Linton Johnston of Hedrick, Iowa. Spirit Lake Beacon Thursday, July __, 1911
