S. W. Marcum, an old soldier and resident of Deloit, who moved to Aitkin county, Minn. a few years ago, came suddenly to his death at his home at Glen, Minn. On July 31, 10:30 a.m. he and his wife were picking cherries a quarter of a mile from their house when he accidentally fell from the tree on a green snag about 30 inches long and about the size of a broom handle. This ran seventeen inches into his abdomen then broke off. His wife extracted the snag and helped him to the house. He was taken sixteen miles to Aitken in a buggy, requiring seven hours to make the trip. Arriving at 6 p.m. it was found the snag did not injure the intestines or liver, but penetrated the thin lining of the right lung which caused hemorrhage of the lungs and he died at 9 p.m. the same evening. The G.A.R. had charge of the funeral and burial which took place at Aitkin, August 3rd at 10 a.m. and the remains were interred in the G. A. R. cemetery.

The family states the G. A. R. Post had complete charge and gave him a fine burial for which they felt very grateful. Their eldest son, A. P. Marcum, who went with them to Minnesota was instrumental in securing the Glen post office of which he was the postmaster. The family have the sympathy of all their old friends at this place.

Denison Review Sept. 1, 1909 - Kiron

Death made a call in Old Kiron Sunday forenoon and the home of S. M. Moline is now in mourning. Mrs. Moline, after an illness of some two weeks, breathed her last shortly after ten o'clock at the age of 54 years, 5 months and 7 days. Three doctors, an efficient nurse and near ones did all that was possible for her restoration but the Divine ruler had planned otherwise. She was married to the now mourning husband in Sweden, December 23, 1876 and together with him and family, immigrated to American and located in Kiron, having resided her since.

This union was blessed with nine children of who two are dead, the other seven residing in this vicinity and it was her privilege to have them at her bedside during the last hours of her stay on earth. She so lived with her husband and her children that her going away has caused sorrow and a most vacant place in the home. When the time drew nigh and it became certain that she would not get well, she was satisfied to go as she had made peace with her Savior. Funeral Services will be held from the Baptist church, Tuesday afternoon and her remains will be laid at rest in the Kiron cemetery. The sympathy of the community goes out to the bereaved ones.

Many Deloit people responded. A party consisting of N. L. Hunt, N. Jordan, Wm. Quigley, J. B. Dawson and E. Daughtery found her frozen dead in the vicinity of O. Ainsworth's at eight in the morning, Tuesday, Jan. 21.

She had been in ill health for some time but it was not thought necessary to keep a close watch on her movements. Mrs. Myers was one of the Bauberry? Sisters with whom many are acquainted and a lady highly esteemed.

Monday morning Mr. Gus Nordine, who lives just north of here on what is known a the Allbright farm took his life by hanging himself from a rafter in the barn. The body was found by his wife some time after the deed was committed.

Mr. Nordine arose as usual in the morning and did his chores and after finishing his work returned to the house and went back to bed again. He arose for breakfast and at the breakfast table told his wife he was going to drive to Mr. Sjogrens and try and make arrangements to rent his farm for next year, the farm on which they were living having been rented Mr. Erickson. He left the house and went to the barn to hitch up a team and his wife supposed that he had left for the Sjogren place.

Some time later she had occasion to go to the barn and was horrified to find the lifeless body of her husband suspended from a rafter with a rope. The rope was tied around his neck and to a rafter only a few feet higher than the floor and when found his feet were resting on the floor and seemingly he had thrown himself backward and strangled to death. Mrs. Nordine gave the alarm at once and neighbors arrived on the scene and carried the lifeless body of Mr. Nordine to the house.

He had been very despondent for some time and the fact that he was having some trouble to rent a farm for next year caused him to worry to some extent. It is intimated here that domestic trouble may have had something to do with the crime. A wife and three children are left. The funeral services will be held on Wednesday, burial taking place in the local cemetery.

About ten p.m. he had died. Mr. Clough, the coroner ordered an autopsy. Drs. Folsom and Boyle made a thorough examination and found the right chamber of the heart filled with blood, showing that he died of heart failure. The coroner's jury was A. C. Weeks, Thos. D. Miler and Patrick McCarthy, who brought in a verdict in accordance with the facts and testimony. Mr. Rietz should not have been permitted to lie in the chilly night air, but should have been taken care of by the peace officers. It seems to us that on the vacant lot near the engine house a couple of rooms might be built on as headquarters, which might be kept warm so that tramps and other accidental unfortunates might be taken care of.
