Dalgleish, of Chatsworth, were called upon to part with their little daughter, Beatrice Evelyn, aged 18 months, last Friday night, July 29, 1910, under sad conditions. During the night of the hard storm, Wednesday, July 27, matches in the house were blown down and scattered on the floor. The little one got hold of these and ate some of the poisonous heads before she was observed. Soon afterward she became sick at the stomach, and her folks, after she had been thus relieved, anticipated she would be all right in a short time. Several hours afterward she began suffering again and a doctor was called, who administered to the little patient. Her condition appeared more hopeful for a time, but a change came Friday evening about ten o'clock, and she sank rapidly until the Angel of Death descended and tenderly bore her innocent soul to Him who had given. The bereaved parents, brothers and sisters have the sympathy of many friends. Interment was in the Akron Catholic cemetery Sunday.

[Akron Tribune, Akron, Iowa, Thursday, June 20, 1901, submitted by Karen Seaman] Arthur Ericson At his home at Union Creek, Sioux Valley township, S.D., at ten minutes of nine o'clock Monday evening, November 2, 1914, occurred the death of Arthur Ericson, only son of Mr. and Mrs. John E. Ericson, aged 24 years, 1 month and 14 days. Arthur Emmanuel Ericson was born at Union Creek, Sioux Valley township, September 18, 1890, where he grew to manhood and lived with his parents until his death. Although it is the law of life that friend after friend departs from this earth and each passing year traces the milestone of some dear one gone, it is nevertheless hard to realize that Arthur is gone, never more to be with us here on earth. Only a short time ago he was with us, strong and healthy, until Friday evening, October 30th, when an accident occurred which ended his life in three days. He was elevating the last load of wheat threshed that day at his home into the granary, when a burr on the tumbling rod caught in his overalls, twisting his leg around the rod. His father stopped the engine at once, but the injury was terrible. Drs. Kerr and Mattison were called and dressed his leg in an effort to save his foot, but Monday blood poison set in and it was found necessary to amputate the leg; but an hour after the operation he passed away. He suffered greatly all the time, but bore it all with wonderful patience and nerve. He did not want to be a cripple, but after talking it over with his parents he consented to the operation, yet little hope was given that it might be successful. And as he was carried into the operating room he told his father and mother that "Simply to the cross I cling, and God's will be done; I am satisfied." And he sent a message to his companions to tell them "It was the Lord's way." His pastor talked to him Monday afternoon and he told him he was ready to meet his Redeemer if his time had come. He was confirmed and joined the Lutheran church in 1895 and his place in church was never vacant unless unavoidably detained. He took an active and willing part in all the church societies, was a most loving and kind son; clean and upright in his habits, possessed with a jovial, happy disposition, he won many friends; he chose his intimate chums among the best young men and the close ties among his young companions will be hard to sever. He is not mourned only by his grief-stricken parents and sister, but by every one who knew him in this whole community, where he will be greatly missed. His funeral was conducted last Wednesday afternoon, November 4, at the Union Creek Lutheran church, where over six hundred people had gathered to pay him a last tribute of respect. Rev. Johnson conducted the service in both the English and Swedish languages, and with deep emotion he spoke of the uncertainty of life and his last interview with the departed young man. The floral tributes, representing many emblems, were most beautiful and many, showing in some extend the esteem felt for the departed. Six young men, his most intimate friends, acted as pallbearers. Their floral tribute was a broken wheel. Just as the sinking sun sent its slanting rays over the hills, he was laid to rest in the Union Creek cemetery. To the bereaved parents and sister, Mrs. John Hultgren, this whole community extend their deep sympathy and condolence in their irreparable loss. "Asleep in Jesus, blessed sleep, RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT At a meeting of the Union Creek Luther League last evening the following resolutions were adopted: Resolved, That since it has pleased our loving Father to call home to eternal rest one of our ominent [sic] members, Arthur Emmanuel Ericson, be in therefore Resolved, That we, the Luther League of Union Creek congregation, express to the sorrowing parents and relatives our heartfelt sympathy in this, their sad bereavement, commending them to our Heavenly Father and comforting them with the thought of his triumphant entrance into life eternal.

She was 81 years old and is survived by her sorrowing husband, seven sons and two daughters. Mrs. Johnson, two weeks before her death, while about her household work, met with an accident when she fell and fractured her hip.

She declined gradually and passed away, with a number of the family at her bedside, at 11 o'clock Monday night. Mrs. Johnson was a true Christian woman of noble traits, ever a friend to those seeking helpful counsel and material aid, and a woman possessed of those fine qualities that make for a successful and happy home life and earned admiration from the friends with whom she came in contact. In her later years she spent her time in brightening the comfortable home where she and her husband spent their declining days in LeMars, while she never lost the personal touch of her sons and daughters who made it a matter of duty and found it a genuine pleasure to make frequent visits to the parental home. She had many friends in and around Remsen as well as LeMars, who regret exceedingly to hear of her sudden passing.

She had eaten dinner and spent the day in her son's home, being apparently in her usual health until the sudden seizure came. A rather unusual coincidence is that her husband, Henry Manning, died in the same home nearly fourteen years ago, also from a similar stroke. Mary Seemann was born at Clinton, Iowa, April 14, 1857, and grew to young womanhood there. On January 2, 1878, she was united in marriage with Henry Manning, of Lyons, Iowa, and in February of that year they located at Richmond, Iowa. Six years later, on April 14, 1884, they moved to Union county, S.D., and engaged in farming a few miles west of Akron. There came to bless this union six sons, two of whom, Alexander Felix and Frank Arthur, died in infancy. Those surviving are: William H., of Union county, S. D., Leander H., of Hettinger, N. D.; Alvin A., of Akron, Iowa, and Fred B., of Union county, S. D. Mr. and Mrs. Manning retired from active farming in Union county in 1918, bought a fine home in Akron and moved here to enjoy the fruits of their industry and thrift in their remaining years. Mr. Manning passed away on January 31, 1923, and she has continued to reside in town. A woman of kind and sympathetic nature, a devoted wife, mother and sister and a helpful neighbor, she gained a wide circle of warm friends, who deeply mourn the departure of this splendid woman. Besides her four sons, ten grandchildren and one great-grandchild, she is survived by four brothers -- John Seemann, of Puente, Calf.; Dr. F. A. Seemann, of National City, Calif.; Dr. W. O.

He was taken to the hospital and operated upon on Tuesday of last week. He rallied in good shape and for a time it appeared his chance for recovery was favorable, but his advanced age, 70 years, 2 months, 18 days, made his brave effort for recovery an unequal contest. Isaac Miller was born near Toledo, Ohio, May 13, 1841. He came to Clinton county, Iowa, when quite young, there grew to manhood, and in 1876 was united in marriage with Amanda Henderson, who has since remained his faithful helpmate. They came west to Woodbury county thirty-two years ago and have since resided in this part of the country. Mr. Miller engaged in the livery business in Akron for about three years, previous to going to Chatsworth four years ago, where he has been in the same business. A just, generous and genial man, he gained a host of friends, who united in offering sympathy to the bereaved wife and daughter, Miss Maude Miller. He came. He lived among us worthily. But the place that once knew him shall know him no more. The funeral was conducted Tuesday at Chatsworth, Rev. W. G. Smith of the Akron M. E. church, preaching the sermon. Interment was made in Riverside cemetery. CARD OF THANKS We wish to express our sincere thanks to all for the assistance they gave us during the brief illness, death and burial of our husband and father. --- Mrs. Miller and Daughter [Akron Register Tribune, Akron, Iowa, Thursday, August 3, 1911, submitted by Karen Seaman] James Clarence Miller Services for James Clarence Miller, 74, will be at noon Thursday at Green Acres Mortuary in Bloomington.

Mrs Moritz was 87 years old and is survived by eight children. Funeral services were held Monday afternoon in Christ Lutheran church. Mrs Moritz for many years resided alone in Remsen, but began to share the Spiecker home eight years ago after having suffered a paralytic stroke. From this, under excellent care, she recovered to the extent of being able to be about, and her health generally was good until last February when complications arose which gradually weakened her and which soon became alarming. Her condition became grave three weeks prior to her death and the end was foreseen. She passed away in the Spiecker home Friday evening at 9:30 o'clock. Born July 9, 1854, at Dosa [Dose], Friesland [Ostfriesland], Germany, Marie Anke Lutjens came to the United States in 1868 with her parents, a brother and a sister. The family settled in Woodfort [Woodford] county, Ill. In 1875, at Panther Creek, Ill., Marie Lutjens became the wife of Gerd D. Moritz, a native of Marienhafen [Marienhafe], Friesland [Ostfriesland], who also came to this country in 1869, also settling in Woodfort [Woodford] county, Ill. The couple farmed there for ten years and in 1885 came to Plymouth country, settling south of Remsen where they resided for several years, later moving north of town, in Meadow township. On this farm Mr Moritz passed away March 4, 1903, and the widow with her children continued on the farm for two years. Mrs Moritz came to make her home in Remsen in 1905 and had been a highly respected and beloved resident here ever since. Marie Moritz, a lifelong member of the Lutheran faith which she was baptized and confirmed in her native home, was strict in her application of the early teachings she received and was one of the staunch members of Christ Lutheran church here ever since coming here 56 years ago. She was a woman of admirable qualities, a devoted wife and mother, and a friend who was ever willing to give of her heart and her hand to those with whom she came in contact. Mrs Moritz had hundreds of acquaintances who loved her because of her fine womanly attributes, and who were sorely grieved over her sickness and death. The hundreds of good friends of this prominent family join this newspaper in sympathy over the loss of an excellent mother and esteemable resident of this community. Mrs Moritz was the mother of eleven children, eight of who survive her, as follows: Mrs Charles (Etta) Lahrsen, Remsen; Mrs Philip (Margaret) Raveling, Lucan, Minn.; Mrs Spiecker and David Moritz, Remsen; John Moritz, Paullina; Mrs George Meyer, LeMars; Mrs Anton Ufken, Marshall, Minn., and George Moritz, Scranton, N.D. Two daughters and a son preceded her in death. Surviving also are 25 grandchildren, 41 great-grandchildren and four great-great-grandchildren. Funeral services in Christ Lutheran church Monday afternoon were conducted by the pastor, the Rev A. Noack, followed by burial in the Remsen cemetery. The services were attended by many from far and near who came to join the bereaved family in its sorrow over the loss of a devoted mother. Pall bearers were L.E. Kriege, Herman Raveling, Walter L. Lang, Will Hansen, Clarence Harnack and Carl Mehlhop. Flower bearers were Mrs Minnie Koch and Mrs Mary Koch. Relatives who came from a distance are: George Moritz, Scranton, N.D.; Mr and Mrs John Moritz, Paullina; Mr and Mrs Philip Raveling, Lucan, Minn.; Mr and Mrs Anton Ufken, Marshall, Minn.; Mr and Mrs George l.

[The Akron Tribune, Akron, Iowa, Thursday, January 26, 1899, submitted by Karen Seaman] Emeline Robinson Raish Raish - In Sioux City, November 11, 1896, Emeline, wife of John N. Raish, of Akron, aged 53 years, 5 months and 27 days. These few words tell the ending of a life which all who knew the dead wish might have been drawn to a longer span. A faithful wife, kind mother and good friend has departed from earth at the close of a long period of intense suffering. She was carried to Sioux City about five weeks ago to receive special medical skill and careful nursing in the hope that her life might be prolonged, but it was of no avail, and the end which her friends feared came yesterday. Emeline M. Robinson was born in Cattaraugus county, New York, May 15, 1843, and was united in marriage to John N. Raish, in the same county, December 28, 1858. She and her husband moved to Oshkosh, Wis., in 1861 and from there to Elk Point, S.D., in 1875. In 1884 the family removed to Akron, where they have since resided. Mr. Raish survives his wife, and there are yet living six of the nine children who were the fruit of their union. These are Henry H., who lives on the home farm near Akron; George W., engaged here with his father in the lumber trade for several years; E. L., now teaching languages in the public schools of Menominee, Wis.; John W., now attending the University of South Dakota, at Vermillion, and Ida M. and Arthur W., who are at home in Akron. Other surviving relatives of Mrs. Raish are her father, George W. Robinson, and a sister, Mrs. William Kropp, of Elk Point; also another sister, Mrs. Abbie A. Moyer, of Oshkosh, who will probably be present at the funeral tomorrow, a telegram having been sent her. The remains of Mrs. Raish were brought to Akron on the morning train from Sioux City. The funeral services will be conducted at the Methodist church tomorrow at 11 a.m. by Rev. George C. Fort, who came up with Mr. Raish today. She was converted to religion in 1865 at Oshkosh, under the ministration of Rev. Geo. H. Haddock, who yielded up his life a martyr in the cause of prohibition that dark night in Sioux City, August 6, 1886. An interesting incident in this connection is the fact that a few days before Rev. Haddock's murder he was visiting the Raish family in Akron, and, in his parting conversation, said to them that he had a presentiment that in the struggle which was going on he might lose his life. [The Akron Tribune, Akron, Iowa, Thursday, November 12, 1896, submitted by Karen Seaman] Henry Raish Henry Raish, a well-known farmer west of town, passed away Wednesday, November 11, 1914, at about 1:30 p.m., after a brief illness of appendicitis. Mr. Raish was in town Saturday, doing his trading as usual, but in the evening complained of not feeling well. About two years ago he had considerable trouble with gallstones and it was thought to be a return of that affliction. He continued to grow worse Sunday and was suffering greatly, and Sunday morning a doctor was called. He was found to be suffering from a ruptured appendix and in critical condition. An operation was performed at the home, but he was past the relief of any human agency and passed "to that bourne from whence no traveler returns" at the time above mentioned, surrounded by his grief-stricken wife and children, to whom the sincere sympathy of the community is extended. Decease came to this vicinity in an early day with his father, J. N. Raish, a pioneer Akron lumber dealer, who passed away the last of August. His brothers, George, of Bowman, N.D., and John, of Deadwood, S.D., are expected to come to the funeral, which will be held tomorrow (Friday) at 8 p.m., n the Akron M.E. church. Members of the Odd Fellows lodge at Elk Point, where Mr. Raish was a member, will attend the funeral and have charge of the burial service at Riverside cemetery.
