Beach Boy Dies In France
- - - - -
Harley Salzman, member of Co. M of Beach Succumbs to Pneumonia after
Lingering Illness - - - First Death in Co. M
- - - - -
The sad news of the death of Harley Salzman reached here yesterday, which
occurred �somewhere in France� on January 25th. His parents, who are now
visiting in Illinois heard of his death three weeks later. We reprint below an item
from the Bloomington, (Ill.) Pantagraph giving all the particulars available:
�E. E. Salzman, formerly a resident of this city and well known here, but now a
resident of Beach, North Dakota, visiting with Jon W. Enlow, west of town, has
received a letter from France stating that his son has died there in the service of the
country. The news comes in a letter from Ernest G. Hatch, a comrade of the boy who
died, who knew the father and wrote to him the news.
The letter which bore the sad news was written three weeks ago. It stated that
Harley Salzman had been sick while at Camp Mills, Long Island, before starting
across, that he had never regained his strength and when he had faced more exposure,
was placed in a hospital where he was given every care they could provide. But his
strength was not sufficient and he died on January 25. The father and mother had not
received as yet any word from the government about the death. Some of the pages of
the letter were torn out by the censor so that a complete story of the last days of the
boy could not be learned.
Harley Salzman lived in Carlock, Ill., until the age of nine years when he went to
Beach, N.D., with his parents, which place has been his home ever since. Last July he
enlisted in the National Guard, Company M, of the 2nd Reg. In October he was sent to
Camp Greene, Charlotte, North Carolina, where the regiment was broken up and he
was put in the 164th ambulance train company, 166ar sanitary train 41st division of the
Expeditionary forces. He was sent to Camp Mills on Long Island where he first
contracted his illness and where he embarked. He arrived in France about the first of
the year.
Mr. and Mrs. Salzman had received only one letter from the lad and that simply
stated that he had arrived safely in France.

time until 1913 when he filed on a homestead near Edgehill, Mont., proving up on the
land last December. Since July 1915 he has been a valued and trusted employee at
the Stoddard ranch.
He was a true blue American, had just recently been examined and placed in Class
1 and was waiting to be called to serve. His dying words were, �Oh, if I could only
get well so I could fight for Uncle Sam.�
He was at the time of his death but 27 years of age.
He leaves to mourn his sudden demise his father, Thos. Kranick, and two sisters,
Mrs. William Zabel, and Mrs. S.E. Wise, all of whom were present at the obsequies.

James Willard McNiece
- - - - -
The entire community was shocked and bereaved to learn the sudden death of
Willard McNiece, son of Mathew McNiece living five miles southwest of Beach.
The little fellow seemed to be in good health up to a few days before his death. He
was taken with a sudden attack of appendicitis and was taken to the hospital at
Dickinson on the early train last Saturday morning. His only chance for recovery was
an immediate operation and it was found that his appendix had busted and a second
operation was performed Saturday evening. Sunday morning a change for the better
was noticed and he wanted to be taken home. He talked a great deal about his
relatives and friends and called for them. About noon Sunday he took a sudden
change for the worse and passed peacefully away at 4:10 that afternoon.
He was a very ambitious little fellow with great hopes for the future and although
he was prepared for death and realized that it was approaching, he remarked several
times that he would like to live a while longer. It is all too sad that he could not be
spared to a world which so much needs living models of the nobler virtues.
At school and at home Willie was always cheerful and stood ready to help others.
He was a great favorite among his school mates.
His parents and brother, John were by his death bed.
James Willard McNiece was born Feb. 20, 1906 on the homestead in Montana,
where the family reside at the present time. He was, at the time of his death, twelve
years and eleven days old.
He leaves to mourn his sudden demise, his parents; four sisters, Alice McNiece,
teaching at Fairview, Mont.; Mrs. Mary Cassidy of National, Washington; Mrs.
Kathrine �.owden of Beach; Blanche McNiece, and five brothers; Daniel, John,
Frank, Paul, all of whom were present with the exception of Paul, who is in France.

Elizabeth Carpenter of Minneapolis and Mr. R. M. Cooper of Beach were quietly
married by Rev. Thatcher. They had as witnesses, Miss Edna Sttiner (sic) and Mr. R.
W. Sprague.
The bride was becomingly gowned in a white Marquisette trimmed with pearls
over a white crepe de chine. Mr. Cooper wore the conventional black. They stood
against a back ground of ferns and flowers and were quietly married, no relatives or
friends of either party being present. After the ceremony the bride donned a blue
traveling suit and the happy couple autoed to Sentinel Butte, where they caught No. 2
for Dickinson. They had intended to go to Bismarck and the cities but were
compelled to return to Beach on account of unlooked for business (sic).
Mrs. Cooper�s home was in Minneapolis, having taught there for the past sixteen
years in the primary department of the Lyndle school. She was highly respected in
that place, and made warm friends who regretted having her leave them.
Mr. Cooper�s original home was in New York City and when first working
traveled out of that city for a number of years. For the past fifteen years he has been
ranching in Wyoming, but two years ago bought out the Callender Hotel in Beach.
Since that time he has resided here and made friends. The couple have made friends
among the young people here already and we are sure that many social evenings will

Erick Conrad Swing Died in Service

It is with a great deal of regret that The Advance is called upon this week to
chronicle the death of Erick Conrad Swing, only son of Mr. and Mrs. Erick Swing of
the Carlyle district, which took place at a hospital in Chicago, Sunday, September 29,
the ailment being Spanish and lung fever.
Mr. Swing was born in Thassela, Sweden, and came to this country with his
parents when only two years of age, residing until eight years ago at Princeton, Minn.,
at which time the family moved to this country and have resided here since. He was
28 years of age at time of death.
He was a young man of exemplary habits and prior to the time of his entering the
service was deputy sheriff of Fallon country, which position he filled with honor to
himself and the satisfaction of the people whom he served. Although of foreign birth
he was the first one of the young men in the Carlyle district to offer his services to his
country in the hour of need and entered the naval service at Baker, Mont., over a year
ago. In the final farewell with his father the latter remarked that he never expected to
see him again and, to which the young man replied: �I have but one life to give, and
it can be given in no better cause than the service of my country.� He was sent to the
naval training station on the great lakes and recently the disease was contracted which
resulted in his death and which is taking so many of our young men in the different
cantonments of the United States at this time.
The body was shipped to Carlyle where the funeral services were held on Friday
afternoon of this week, from the U. B. church, under direction of the I.O.O.F., of
which society he was a member. The deceased leaves his parents, three sisters and a
host of friends to mourn his untimely death.

The Supreme Sacrifice Upon Country�s Altar
- - - - -
Four Deaths this Week Among the Soldier Boys who Entered the Service from
Golden Valley County
- - - - -
It is seldom that a newspaper is called upon to perform the task of writing the
Obituary notice of four boys in one week who have made the supreme sacrifice upon
the altar of their country, yet this is the duty assigned to us this week. Words cannot
convey the deep debt of gratitude the people of this community owe to the young men
who have made this sacrifice, or the respect in which their memories will be held in
the coming years. At each Decoration Day it will be our privilege to decorate their
graves with flowers, and in the presence of the dead to reconsecrate our lives to those
principles which made bloodshed and battle since our forefathers at Valley Forge
waged battle against the father land. The funerals of Russell O. Hubble and John
Larsen, the later of Golva, were held in Beach today, and in both cases a military
burial was given.
In the case of George H. Kuhn we have only the telegraph announcement of death
in action, and a fitting memorial service to his memory will be held at such time as
public gatherings are again permitted. In the mean time his body will rest under the
sunny sun of France, perchance amid the carnage of battle in which he had played an
important part in times past.

George H. Kuhn
The announcement of the death of George H. Kuhn, son of Mr. and Mrs. Henry
Kuhn, who live north of town, was received this week, and announced the death in
action on August 21st, 1918
. George Kuhn was among the first to enlist in Company
M, Second North Dakota, at the time a call was made for the organization of a
company at Beach last year, and at the time of death he was employed in the medical
department of the government service in France. It will be remembered that
Company M was transferred from the infantry to the ambulance branch of the service
upon arrival at Camp Green, N.C., and it was in this service that he met his death. No
particulars are given, but to have met death in action signifies that it was in his
ministration to the wounded upon the field of battle amid the awful rain of shot and
shell of deadly conflict that the message came.
George H. Kuhn was born at Agnes, Grand Forks county, N.D., March 2nd, 1893,
and was, therefore, 25 years of age at time of death. He leaves a father, mother, two
sisters and one brother to mourn his loss. He came to Golden Valley county eleven
hears ago with his parents, and during his parents, and during this residence here has
endeared himself to his many acquaintances by those sterling qualities of manhood of
which he was so abundantly possessed.

his country just two weeks ago last Thursday, and almost immediately upon entering
Camp Custer, Mich., he was stricken with the Spanish influenza, death coming to his
relief at 7:15, Tuesday morning, October 8th.
Russell O. Hubble is the second son of Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Hubble and was born in
Greenwood, Wis., March 24th, 1890, which makes him 28 years of age last March. He
came to North Dakota and this section of the state in 1905, and during his residence
here has made for himself many warm friends. He was married January 7th, 1918
, to
Miss Freda Fingle, who, together with his parents, five brothers and one sister, are left
to mourn his untimely death. Two of these brothers are now serving in the United
States army in France.
The body was returned to Beach, Friday, for burial and during the afternoon it was
laid in its final resting place with military honors. To the bereaved wife and parents
the sympathy of the community is extended.

John Larsen
The third death of those in the military service this week is that of John Larsen,
which took place at Camp Grant, Ill., October 6th, of lobar pneumonia. This soldier is
the son of Mr. and Mrs. M. L. Larsen of Golva. He was born in Jackson county,
Minnesota, and came to this country four years ago, where he has won for himself a
proud reputation as a young man of integrity and sobriety.
Besides his parents he leaves four brothers, Christian, of Clay county, Minnesota,
Rasmus, of Valley City, N.D., Lewis and Knute of this vicinity, besides his many
friends, to mourn his loss. The body was returned to Beach for interment and on
Friday afternoon it was conveyed to the silent city of the dead under military escort,
and a short open air service conducted at the grave by Rev. Tjornhom. Relatives from
Moorhead, Minn., Nebraska and other places were present.
At both of these funerals the Home Guards of Beach furnished an escort of honor
and at the conclusion of services at the grave fired the salute of honor of three volleys
and the sounding of �taps� on the bugle.
In each of these cases the young men have made the supreme sacrifice to their
country�s call and while words cannot express the respect and reverence in which
their memory is held by the community, yet we can see to it that the sacrifice they
have made shall not have been in vain, but that �a government of the people, by the
people and for the people� shall be handed down to future generations unfettered by
the mailed fist of autocracy.

surprise to his many friends and relatives.

store at Golva, and before that he worked in the store at Beach for five months, so that
he was well known around Beach and Golva and had many friends. They will be
sorry to learn of his sudden death.

Catherine McCarthy Died Thursday
- - - - -
The sudden death of Miss Catherine McCarthy occurred at her home Thursday
morning at 6 a.m. She had been sick for the past week with a cold, and they thought
perhaps she might have Spanish influenza. A nurse was called and everything that
loving kindness could do was done for her.
She was born in St. Paul and lived there with her parents for a number of years,
afterward moving to Belle Plane, Minn., where she finished her high school course at
the age of 18 years. From there she went directly to the Valley City Normal, where
she graduated with honors and came to Beach and accepted a position in the Beach
school where she taught for four years. Her folks had moved out here while Catherine
was at Normal. Last summer she decided upon taking a business course, and went to
the Glove Business College, in St. Paul, and finished her course only a few weeks
ago. Upon her return to Beach she accepted a position as stenographer for the
Keohane Abstract Co., and it was while at this work that she was taken sick.
She leaves to mourn her loss, a father and mother, and three brothers and two
sisters. John is at Homestead and is now only recovering from the pneumonia, which
proved so fatal to Catherine, and could not attend the funeral, Mary Margaret, Martin
and Michael are still at home.

Kees Baby
The death of W. C. Kees little baby occurred at Ollie, Mont. Friday morning as a
result of Spanish Influenza. Both Mr. and Mrs. Keeys (sic) were sick yesterday with
the flu, and it proved too much for the baby.
Mr. Kees is cashier of the bank at Ollie, and altho I could not learn just how long
they have been at that place, they seemed to have made warm friends, who are helping
them in their hour of sorrow.
Mr. Brastrup went to Ollie Friday morning to attend to the case, and the funeral
will probably be then or not later than Saturday.
It is to be hoped that the parents recover from the awful plague soon. We do

1918
, at Dickinson, N.D. Bennie started to town with a load of grain, and the hired
man and another son went to town also with a load. His father had gone in ahead
with the car. In some manner Bennie fell off his load and was run over. The other
team came up to him and his brother and the man tried to have him ride to town on the
load of grain, but the pain was too great. There was no Samaritian near by so the two
other boys placed Bennie in a straw pile about seven miles southwest of Beach and
came to town for assistance and laid thereabout two hours before help came. He was
conscious all the while. He lived eleven hours after the fatal accident. He was
brought to Beach and from here they hired Mr. Greiner to take him to the Dickinson
hospital. He died almost immediately upon arrival at that place. He remains were
brought back to Beach, Tuesday, and the funeral held in the Catholic church at St.

This Section of the Country Paying Its Share, Both in Lives and Treasures
- - - - -
Walter and R. E. Johnson
During the past few weeks the awful cost of war and what France and England
must have suffered, has been brought home to the people of this section of the
country with telling force by the frequent arrivals of the remains of some young
man who died in camp in the United States, or the announcement from the war
department that some of the boys �over there� had been killed or wounded.
A particularly sad case is the double death which has entered the home of Mr.
and Mrs. G. E. Johnson of the Ollie district, and took from them their only
children. Walter and R. E. Johnson had been very anxious to enter the service
and at the first opportunity signed up, entraining for Camp Custer last July. They
had repeatedly expressed the hope to their parents that it would be their good
fortune to see service in France, and in this they were heartily supported and
encouraged by the old folks, who wanted the boys to feel they had had a definite
part in the establishment of a lasting peace.
In seemed, however, this was not to be, for about a week ago the parents were
called to Camp Custer on account of the illness of their sons with Spanish influenza.
Upon arrival they found the oldest boy had passed away and the other dangerously ill.
Every courtesy was extended to them while at the camp hospital and everything
possible in human effort and skill was done to save the remaining life, but it proved of
no avail and he died a day or two later. On the return of the parents to Beach they
were accompanied by the flag draped caskets of their two sons and only children.
The boys were born at Waseca, Wis., where they grew to manhood and received
their education. They came west with their parents about six years ago and settled
with them on a farm in North Dakota near Ollie, where they made many warm friends
by their sterling qualities and upright dealings. They were 23 and 24 years of age at
time of death. The funeral took place at Ollie on Wednesday afternoon, interment
being made in the cemetery at that palace. May they rest in peace. The sympathy of
the entire community is extended to the doubly bereaved parents.

Ira Hubble
Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Hubble will have ample cause to remember the German war,
for today they place the remains of their second son in its final resting place in the
silent city of the dead. Ira Hubble was 18 years of age last January and entered the
service of the United States some time last June. He was assigned to the medical
corps with a training station at Camp Ontario, New York, and was at that place at
time of death, which took place during the early part of this week, from pneumonia.
His body was sent to Beach under the military escort of Corporal Stewart, arriving
Friday morning, and the funeral was held during the forenoon. A very impressive
military funeral was accorded the deceased and Rev. Thatcher conducted a short open
air service at the grave. Only about two weeks ago Mr. and Mrs. Hubble were called
upon to bury their son Russell, who was also in the military service, and this second
death following so soon make their bereavement especially heavy. To them is
extended the sympathy of the entire community.

Everett Gilbert
A telegram was received Monday by Grandma Gilbert, announcing the death of

entering the camp at Grand Forks was assigned as one of the instructors in the radio
branch. His parents were notified of his illness and were with him at time of death.

warm personal friends among his host of acquaintances.
The remains were taken to Mandan, where the funeral was held on Thursday
forenoon, October 24th, with military honors, conducted by Rev. Father Clemens,
pastor of the Mandan Catholic church, and remains laid at rest in the cemetery there.

Miss Pearl Wheeler
No greater sacrifice can be made than that she gave her life for other.
This community was deeply grieved Sunday afternoon at the announcement of the
death of Miss Pearl Wheeler, which took place at about 4:30 o�clock, of Spanish
influenza. In the fullness of her desire to minister to the needs of her companions she
availed herself of every opportunity to nurse her friends who were suffering with the
�flu,� and her overtaxed condition made her a ready prey for the disease.
One had only to listen to the general remarks, heard on every side, of approbation,
love and esteem of Miss Wheeler, to gain a fair estimate of how much she was
respected and admired in this city. He many friends here extend to the bereaved
parents their heartfelt sympathy.
Miss Pearl Wheeler was born in Hillsburg, Ont., Feb. 13th, 1889. In August, 1895,
she moved with the family to Hawley, Minn., where she graduated from the high
school. She entered the employ of the Northwestern Telephone Company at Hawley
in April, 1907, and was there five years. In 1912 she moved to Detroit, Minn., and
spent three years in the employ of the same company. She then came to Beach, North
Dakota, and on October 15, 1915, she entered the employ of the Golden Valley
Telephone Company. She was eleven years in the telephone service, working in three
cities. She was a faithful employee and was loved by all in the telephone service and
the local telephone service was closed from 7:15 to 8 p.m. Tuesday. She passed away
at 4:50 p.m. Sunday, October 20, 1918
. The father, mother, five brothers and two
sisters live to mourn the loss of a daughter and sister. The pall bearers were from the
local Masonic lodge and the honorary escort from the morgue to the depot were the
employees of the local telephone company and near friends. The pastor of the
Methodist church was at her bedside just before she passed away and she expressed
her confidence in God and had no fear of death. A short service was conducted at the
depot by Rev. Thatcher, assisted by Rev. Bosworth. Miss Wheeler was a girl of
sterling character and we morn her loss from our midst.

Verily Death is Stalking Up and Down Seeking Whom it May Devour

The death rate in Beach this week is larger than heretofore and the majority of
them have been caused by the Spanish influenza. However, Beach has been very

possibly be of any assistance, are doing their best to help the needs of the people.
Following are the deaths:

On the 23rd of October the little month old baby Hust died, north of Sentinel Butte,

They buried the baby at the Sentinel Butte cemetery on the 25th and the next day the
mother, Mrs. Carl Hust, died of the same disease and placed at rest beside her child.
The only one left is the father. Both were first attacked with influenza, which

Mrs. J. W. Gowers
A wave of sadness went over our community Tuesday afternoon, when it was
learned that Mrs. J. W. Gowers had passed away. Mrs. Gowers had been suffering
from an attack of the influenza and seemed to be on the road to recovery until Friday
last, when pneumonia developed. From that time on she grew rapidly worse, and in
spite of skilled nursing and careful medical attention, the end came.
Mrs. Gowers, nee Emily Johnson, was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Johnson.
She came to the Golden Valley with her parents several years ago from Sioux Falls,
S.D. where she spent her childhood and received her education. In 1910 she
graduated from the nurse�s training school of the Hinsdale Sanitarium, Hinsdale, Ill.,
and since that time resided with her parents at their home west of Golva, until January
last, when she was united in marriage with James W. Gowers.
When the present epidemic of influenza first struck Beach, the deceased bravely
offered her services as nurse, and it was in the discharge of her personal duties that
she contracted the disease which cost her life. She is worthy of all praise and honor,
for like our soldiers who are daily offering �the great measure of devotion,� she gave
her life that others might live.
Besides her husband and parents, she leaves four brothers, Will, George, Samuel
and Joseph, and one sister, Evelyn, to mourn the loss of a gentle and affectionate
sister, wife and daughter, and host of friends who grieve that a life so full of promise
should be so brief.
Short consolation services were held at the home at 10:00 o�clock Friday. The
funeral services will be held Saturday at 12 o�clock at the Beach cemetery. A brother
and wife will arrive from Battle Creek, Mich., to attend the last sad rites.
The sympathy of the entire community goes out to the bereaved husband and
relatives in this hour of sorrow and loss.

Rudolph Benjamin Thompson
The death of Rudolph Thompson occurred at his home in Beach, Saturday afternoon.
He had been sick for about three weeks, having contracted the influenza, which
developed into pneumonia. It was thought at one time that the disease was
conquered, and the nurse and doctor worked hard to keep the lungs clear and help him

May 31, 1888, on the old homestead near Blair, Wis., making him 30 years, 5 months
and 9 days old at time of death. At the age of four years he moved with the family to

half years of high school work. He completed a course at the Dixon, Illinois, business
college. In the spring of 1907, together with the family, he came to Beach, and settled
on a farm one mile south of town. Here he remained three years when he became a
partner in the lumber business with his father and brother Albert.
He was united in marriage to Miss Minniella B. Holven in May 1911, and with the
exception of a few months each year in California, have made Beach their home. To
this union one child was born, Earl Ralph Thompson, who is about four years of age.
Besides his wife and child, he leaves to mourn his loss a father, who lives at Long
Beach, Cal., and the following brothers and sisters: Charles L. of Grafton, N. D.,
Mrs. Thea R. Anderson, recently of Golva, Mrs. R. Thompson, of Blair, Wis., Harvey

esteem in which deceased was held.
Beach has indeed incurred a deep loss in the death of Mr. Thompson, and the

will be long felt. The most sincere sympathy of the entire community is extended to
the loved ones of the deceased.

Ralph Kenneth Purvis
Death from the dreaded epidemic, Spanish influenza, has taken another Golden
Valley county boy, also in the service. The brave young soldier, only twenty years of
age, volunteered his services in behalf of his country and outraged humanity, went to
Miles City for examination, but was rejected on account of not being of sufficient
weight for his height, and consequently not strong enough to withstand the hardships
of war. but undaunted by this the young man with the courage born of youth, went to
St. Paul, where he passed a satisfactory examination October 23rd, and joined the
marines to leave for training camp November 19th.
On that date he was called home on account of the serious illness of his mother
and contracted the disease while on the journey home, and was not feeling at all well
when he returned to St. Paul, but always conscientious in regard to his duties, he was
determined to go back to headquarters to report. After returning to the city his
condition rapidly grew worse.
His father started for St. Paul as soon as he received the telegram, but was unable
to see Ralph alive, as the message was not sent in time. The mother, brother and
grandfather were all sick at the time of his death and were unable to attend the
funeral.
Ralph Kenneth Purvis was born June 26th, 1896, at St. Cloud, Minn., and came
with his parents to the Golden Valley in the spring of 1904, where he resided until
called to the service. Died at St. Paul, Minn., December 1, 1918
.
He was educated in the rural schools and did one year of school work at the Beach
High school, then deciding upon a business career he attended business college at
LaCrosse, Wis.
He worked for some time on The Advance and by his genial and obliging manner
made many friends, as he also did in school and with whoever he became acquainted
with.
He leaves to mourn his loss his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Purvis, one brother,
grand parents, aunt and uncle and Mr. and Mrs. Rube Clark, of Hodges, Mont., aunt
and uncle Mr. and Mrs. Mason Vanderhoof, of Belle Prairie, Mont., sister-in-law,
Mrs. Charles Purvis, Jr., and cousins from Belle Prairie, Mont., Mr. and Mrs. John
Harpster.
The remains were brought home Tuesday on No. 3, the funeral services being
held Thursday at 2 p.m. Interment was made at the Beach cemetery, the ceremony at
the grave concluding with military honors.
The sympathy of the entire community goes out to the bereaved parents in the loss
of their soldier son who had been away so short a time before being stricken with the
epidemic.

Mrs. Jameson
The sad news of the death of Mrs. A. J. Jameson was given out Monday afternoon,
caused by influenza, followed by double pneumonia. On Friday the family took down
with the flu, including Mrs. Jameson, daughter Mrs. Mande Brewer, and little son
Gerald, and they were supposed to be getting along well. But a turn came for Mrs.
Jameson on Saturday night and pneumonia immediately set in. Everything in the
world was done to save her life, but her constitution was too weak to stand the
complications.
Elizabeth Agnes Mitchell was born at Orangeville, Ontario, December 31, 1865.
She lived there for a number of years when she moved to West Virginia, where she
was united in marriage to Dr. A. J. Jameson. To this union one daughter was born,
Mrs. Mande Brewer. From West Virginia the family moved to Wheatland, this state,.
where they resided until three years ago when they moved to Sentinel Butte. Besides
the family she leaves to mourn their loss, three sisters, Mrs. J. H. Nesbitt of Hunter,
this state, Mrs. Robert Richardson and Mrs. George Rozell of Ontario, Canada.
Mrs. Jameson was a woman of sterling character and worth, and was beloved by a
host of friends who will greatly miss her. She was a good wife and kind and loving
mother, which altogether, made her one of our best citizens.
The sympathy of everyone goes out to Dr. Jameson at this time. At the time of
going to press his daughter, Mrs. Brewer, is very ill, his wife dying and that coupled
with the fact that he has been very busy day and night with flu patients for the past
two months to such an extent that he was completely worn out when his family took
down, but he has stood the calamity with a fortitude better than could have been
expected. It has been absolutely necessary for him to neglect some of his professional
calls for a few days, but no one can expect different.
The funeral was held Wednesday afternoon at the cemetery, conducted by Rev.
Richter, with members of the Odd Fellows lodge as pall bearers, and a number of
friends gathered to listen to the last sad funeral rites. - Sentinel Butte Republican

Death Angel Comes To Claim Many From Golden Valley Homes

The influenza epidemic seems to have held full sway over the Beach vicinity and
surrounding country during the fore part of the week, but it is believed that the latter
part of the week brings its good luck and that it is the beginning of the end of the
third influenza wave which has gone across the country. We hope that the disease
has claimed its last victim and that from now on we will have no more deaths to
report.

Charles W. Purvis
We are called upon to chronicle the death, which took place during the past week,
of one of this country�s most prominent citizens, Charles W. Purvis, who passed away
on December 8th, 1918, at the age of 43 years and nineteen days.
Mr. Purvis was born in the county of Hendrick, state of Indiana, on November 19,
1875. During the year of 1879 his parents moved to St. Cloud, Minnesota, where he
grew to manhood. In 1896 he was united in marriage to Miss Effie M. Whitney, this
union being blessed with two sons, Charley A. Purvis and Ralph K. Purvis. With his
family he came to Golden Valley county in 1904, and has since that time made this
his home.
Some few days ago he was called to St. Paul by a message stating that his son,
Ralph K. Purvis, who had recently enlisted in the United States army, was
dangerously ill. Mr. Purvis arrived in St. Paul a few hours before the death of his son,
and the belief that he contracted the Spanish influenza, which caused his death, while
returning with the remains of his son, only adds to the sorrow caused by the passing
of this good man.
Charley Purvis was widely known throughout this territory. He established an
enviable reputation of high character, was ever honorable, thoroughly upright and
held in highest esteem by his every acquaintance. Always of a jovial and generous
disposition, he never lacked in friendships and no friend ever found him wanting.
During his life he was successful in providing a pleasant and comfortable home,
not only for his immediate family, but for his aged parents, who occupied their home
on the same farm.
Truly this community suffers a distinct loss in the untimely death of Charley
Purvis, and this paper wishes to convey the death sympathy of many friends to this
sad family during this hour of grief.

Charles was born in Bolo, Ill, in 1886, and lived at that place until he was 21 years
of age, when he came west to Carlyle with his parents and where they lived for two
years before moving to the farm three miles southeast of Beach. He was an active
member of the Methodist church and will be greatly missed from among them.
The remains will be shipped Saturday to his old home at Bolo, Ill, for burial. He
