While driving cattle Monday evening [20 Sep 1897] T. O. Myhre, a prosperous farmer living about five miles south of town, died of heart failure. He was riding a horse at the time and when found was lying on his back near the animal unconscious and never rallied. Mr. Myhre was one of the pioneer settlers of Emmet county and by industry and economy had made for himself and family a comfortable home. He is a brother of A. O. Myhre of this city and leaves a wife and several children to mourn his death. He was 69 years old. Funeral services were held from the residence this morning and body laid to rest in the High Lake cemetery.
