Obituary Leonard Lee Iiedtield was born

June 15, 1846 in the State of Pennsyl­vania, Tioga county. When 7 years of age he moved with his parents to In­dependence, la. On August 12, 1802 at the age of 15 he enlisted in Co. C. 32 Iowa, Vol. Inf. and served his country until the close of the war.

He was united in marriage on Nov. 4th, 18Ö9 to Margurite Scarborough, there were five children born to this union, Josephine Sheldon, of White Lake, South Dakota; James A. of Sioux Falls, S. D.; Detiuy (J. of Rapid Olty, S. D.; Mrs May DeVries, of Plitt S. D. and a baby girl who died In in­fancy.

He came with bis family to Lincoln county, South Dakota In the Spring of 1872 and settled on a homestead 13 miles southwest of Canton where he made bis home until the Spring of 1901 when he moved to Harrisburg. In the fall of 1902 he moved to Canton and during the summer of 1908 he with his wife moved to Denver, Colo., thinking the milder climate would Improve his health, where he lived until July 26, 1915 when he passed away. During the time he served for his country he contracted almost every infectious disease known and since his discharge from the service, has suffered untold misery, the past 8 years he has been a constant sufferer, during the past six months he con­sulted some of the noted men of the world and everything known to medi­cal science was done for him with no avail. The ravages of diseases of his early manhood had so tixed themselves upon him.

He is survived by his wife and four children, one brother, William O., pastor of the Methodist church of Tripp. S D and 3 sisters, Mrs Rosana Sweeley of Richmond Beach, Wash., Mrs Emma Rugg of Redlands, Calf, and Mrs Lena Parke of Beresford, S. D. and a half brother, Oliver A. of Beresford, S D.

He was a member of the Masonic and Odd Fellows Lodges of Canton, and the Grand army of the Republic. During the winter of 1S80 and 1881 he was converted to God and enlisted in the army of the Lord and united with the Methodist Episcopal Church and continued to remain a member of that church, as the end grew near he expressed his willingness to go and be wltb his God.

The funeral services were held in the M. E. Church, the pastor preach­ing the sermon. The Odd Fellows and the Masonic Lodges and the G. A. R. were in attendance, all of which he was member of. The Masonic Lodge had charge of the services at the grave. Many of the relatives from out of town were tu attendance in­cluding his children and his brother. Mr. Red field had a host of friends who respected and loved him and all these extend their sympathy to his wife and relatives and commend them to the loving care of the Heavenly Father.

Death Calls The sad death of Mrs. Helmbr Rog-

ness Sunday July 25 was a great shock to her many friends and relatives and coming as it did, In childbirth, makes her departing more hard.

Mrs, Rogness was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Alaus Sullestad and grew to womanhood In Lincoln county. Loved and esteemed by all tfrho knew her and It is indeed hard for her parents, a loving husband and four sisters and five brothers to give her up at this time in life. The Infant that she leaves will never know the love of the mother that gave her life that her baby might live.

The funeral was held Tuesday, July 27th. at the Moe church, Rev, Nume-dabl officiating. Appropriate hymns were sung by the Moe church choir. Interment took place at the Moe cemetery.

The Leader joins a host of friends in extending heartfelt sympathy to the grief stricken husband' and his motherless babe, and the sorrowing parents and relatives.

"Bob" Schaber's Loss A short telegram, without any far­

ther explanation, informed us Monday forenoon that cousin Mag and her two sons had drowned, and that the funeral was to be held Tuesday-thank God their bodies were recover­ed and identified.

When I came to this country in 1879, a lad barely seven, I had to go up against what every emigrant boys has to meet in every city—the jeers and jibes and rough usage handed out by American, Irish, Polish and other hyphenated American lads of his age, who delight in tormenting a green­horn and Dubuque, Iowa, was no ex­ception to the rule.

My cousin Mag, Miss Margaretb Schaber at that time, Mrs. Peter Kommer at the time of her untimely death—a few years older than I and I became playmates and chums and when any of the neighborhood boys become too fresh with me and called me Dutchy and handed out bruises and blackeyes vyith the greatest sang frold, Cousin Mag used to take a hand in the affair, and help us tight our battles ana many an Irish laddie got his bumps when we were getting the worst of it and Mag came to the re­scue. The friendship there begun has never lapsed, and so it is with sincere sorrow that we hear of cousin Mag's tragic death by drowning, while her two sons, fine, manly lads, of whom she was justly proud, went with her on the long journey and there is an ache in every heart in the Schaber families and in the relation­ship included in the Schaber clan in this country.—[Hudsonite.

Stapleton as leader of song, and with all the singers that in­variably attend the campmeetlng we shall have great singing."Goodly num­bers are writing about tents and lodg­ings. Any people having rooms, to let might do well in phoning to the pas­tor of the M. E. Church of this city. Rooms near the campground are pre­ferable.
