HUNDREDS AT FUNERAL
Victim of Automobile Accident is Buried

The funeral of Frank Ruhland, who was run over and killed by an automobile
truck on Monday of last week, was held on Thursday morning at St. Joseph
Church in Lincoln township and was attended by several hundred people. The
church was crowded and hundreds had to remain outside in the church yard.

Frank Ruhland was the youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. Ben Ruhland, of Stanton
township, and with his parents has lived in Stanton township all of his
life. He was a popular young man and well liked by all who knew him. His
sudden demise is a shock to his parents and friends, who extend their
sympathies to the sorrowing parents.

Deceased was born in Hazel Green, Grand (sic Grant) county, Wisconsin, Nov. 18, 1883,
being 27 years, 6 months of age at the time of his death. His parents moved
to Stanton township when he was but a few months old and with his parents
has lived there ever since. He had always been a devoted son and his death
will make an unfillable gap in the family life.

Frank Ruhland was one of eleven children, one of whom, Mrs. John Kirchburg,
of Madison, Minn., died three years ago. Surviving sisters and brothers
are: Mrs. Frank Kirchburg, Rush City, Minn.; Mrs. Anton Kirchburg, Madison,
Minn.; Mrs. Tom Britt, of Stanton township; Mrs. Jacob Neyens, Stanton
township; Mike Ruhland, John Ruhland and Norbert Ruhland, all of Stanton
township. All brothers and sisters were present at the funeral, besides a
large number of other outside relatives and friends.
