From the LeMars Sentinel, Friday, January 27, 1905, Page 4, Column 5:

Death of D. S. McArthur.

The remains of D. S. McArthur, of Golden City, Mo., news of whose death was announced in this paper on Tuesday, were brought to LeMars for burial, and the funeral was held yesterday at the Presbyterian church, and his body was interred beside that of his wife, who died about eight years ago.

Mr. McArthur was widely known as an upright and Christian man. He was a member of the Presbyterian church of this city, and was a man of great integrity and a most exemplary citizen, and his death is regretted by a large circle of friends and relatives.

He was a native of Scotland, but with his parents went early to Canada where he lived until coming to LeMars about twenty-five years ago from Guelph, Canada. He lived for many years on a farm three miles north of town, and was a progressive and successful farmer and stockman.

A few years ago he moved to Golden City, Mo., to make his home. His death was due to a severe cold which developed into pneumonia and proved fatal.

He is survived by twelve children, seven boys and five girls. The sons are Duncan, of Golden City, Mo., John of Stanton township; Berry and Robert, Waterbury, Neb.; Dan, of LeMars, Alex, of Sioux City and Wallace, of Perry, Iowa. The daughters are Mrs. Belle Messengell and Mrs. Sarah Campbell, residing in the state of Washington; Mrs. Jennie Hayes, of Remsen; Mrs. Will Aupperlee (sic--Aupperle), of LeMars, and Miss Libbie McArthur, of Golden City, Mo. Two children have preceded him to the grave.
