WAS A REAL PIONEER

JOSEPH CARRINGTON SUFFERED THE PRIVATIONS

AND HARDSHIPS WHICH BEFELL THE EARLY

SETTLERS OF THE NORTHWEST.

Joseph Carrington, brief notice of whose death was chronicled in the last
issue of this paper, was one of the very early settlers in Plymouth county.

With his family he came to Sioux City forty years ago in 1867, and while
working at his trade of butcher there, homesteaded the farm on the Floyd
river which was his home until his death occurred last Sunday. When Mr.
Carrington homesteaded his land, the country was sparsely settled. There
were no bridges and roads and very little else but prairie. It is related of
him that he walked from Sioux City Saturday nights to his home where his
wife and little children were, returning on Sunday nights, and on these
trips often carried a sack of flour or other provisions on his shoulder for
the wife and little ones waiting his return on the prairie claim. It is
recorded also that on one occasion he carried a breaking plough all the way
from Sioux City on his shoulders. He was of rugged physique, an athletic
mould and well fitted for the hard and arduous work which he accomplished in
his long life, working hard from his youth up in his native land and harder
when he came to the new land. He suffered the privations incident to the
grasshopper time when crop after crop was destroyed by the ravenous insects
and more than once he and his faithful wife stinted themselves so that the
growing boys and girls might not suffer from hunger. Brighter days came as
the prairie developed into a fine farming country and Joe, as everybody
called him, was a good farmer and always took pride in having his place neat
and thrifty and it was his boast, which he made good, that no man in the
country could plow a better or a straighter farrow. His long life was
devoted to simple pursuits and honest labor occupied his days on the farm.

In pioneer days when there was no bridge across the Floyd river but only a
ford he acted the part of a good Samaritan when many travelers got mired and
stuck in the stream. He had a stout yoke of oxen and used to pull out teams
and wagons almost daily. He was a staunch friend and to those whom he liked
he would extend any kindness or favor in his power. He was a strong man
physically and mentally and if he had not been denied the advantage of an
education would have done things. As it is he lived a simple life doing the
best he could, respected and liked by nearly all who knew him.

He was born at Ramsey, Huntingdonshire, England, on August 8, 1825, and was
married on March 2, 1850, to Mary Anna Lavender, who for fifty seven years
has been his faithful, constant and loving wife in joy and sorrow, weal and
woe, adversity and happiness. The separation from her life long companion is
a terrible blow to her and not being in strong health her condition is
serious.

Five children survive him. They are Charles, who lives at Wallace, Idaho;
Harry, who is at Felida, Washington; Fred, of Denver; Mrs. Ira Betsworth,
Mather, Wis.; and Miss Carrie Carrington, who lives at home.

His son Fred and Mrs. Betsworth came to attend the funeral which will be
held this afternoon at the residence.

The other sons were notified by telegram but owing to snow and uncertainty
of trains running in the west, it is doubtful if they will get here although
Harry signified his intention of coming.

IN THE LOCAL MARKET.

The mill and elevators have been busy this week as many farmers are hauling
corn and some oats. At the farmers elevator business has been rushing taking
in about seventy-five loads daily and yesterday over eighty loads were
received. Hay was rather scarce early in the week owning to the cold snap
and farmers who brought hay to town yesterday were paid as high and $7.50 to
$8 per ton and not the best hay at that. Hogs have been soaring the local
buyers paying from $6.40 to $6.45 a hundred, but not very many are coming
in.

has fattened during the past few months, to a Remsen stock buyer, which

Relatives of the late C.G. Norris received word that his remains had left
Seattle in charge of his son, John C. Norris, last Sunday evening. They are
expected here today or tomorrow at latest and the funeral will probably be
held on Sunday afternoon at two o'clock at the First Methodist church.

The members of the Y.W.C.A. of the Western Union college gave a reception on
Saturday evening in honor of Miss Helen Henshaw, of Des Moines, states
secretary of the Y.W.C.A. The home of Prof. and Mrs. G.C. Countryman was

TRIBUTE TO A PIONEER

The Late C. G. Norris After Being Converted, Devoted His Life to the Cause
of Christ

The following obituary and tribute of the life of the late C. G. Norris was
written for the Sentinel by a friend of the family.

The dread reaper "Death" calls us again from the busy activities of life to
chronicle the passing away from labor to rest of another pioneer of Plymouth
county and LeMars.

Curtis G. Norris was born in Tippecanoe, Harrison county, Ohio, May 9, 1836.
When but six years old, he was called to mourn the early and untimely death
of his Christian mother.

In the same county of his birth he was united in marriage with Rebecca J.
Horne, May 21, 1857. In 1861 he moved with his belongings to Moultrie
county, Ill. The clarion note of his country's need rang in his ears and
like a number of other young men he enlisted as a volunteer of the "ninety
day call" and became a member of Company I, 143d Illinois Infantry. He
remained in the service five months and was honorably discharged, returning
to his home and wife on a stretcher to die.

Before the iron horse speeded in Western Iowa, he came to Sioux City in 1867
in a covered wagon, remaining however only a few weeks in that city. He
then moved to his homestead four miles southwest of this city. Those were
the days of the unbroken prairie and deep privations for the early settler.
Toiling faithfully and undaunted, he was successful. In 1870 he opened the
first meat market in LeMars and as a merchant received a large patronage of
the people. After selling out his business, he engaged in the real estate
and insurance business.

On June 23, 1902, he was called to mourn his beloved wife and companion who
passed on before to welcome him in that upper and better land. After the
death of his wife, he made his home with his daughter, Mrs. M. Campbell at
Seney. In 1903 he was married to Mrs. M. J. Relyea, of Akron, who survives
him. They took up their residence in LeMars where they remained until they
moved west. Mr. Norris had poor health the last few years he lived here.
Thinking a change of climate would improve his condition, they moved to
Seattle, Wash., last October. Here he improved very much and seemed to be
getting well very fast. The last few days of his life, he seemed to be
exceptionally well and everything seemed favorable to his remaining here
many years. On the evening of January 23, he retired feeling unusually well
but before midnight he was stricken with paralysis and before morning "he
was not, for Good took him," a blessed close to a useful "consecrated life."

Those who survive him are: one sister, Mrs. J. B. Wharton, Tippecanoe, Ohio;
two brothers, James Norris, Annapolis, Ill., and Edward Norris, Ardmore,
Indian Territory. The children left to mourn a loving, kind and considerate
father are: Mrs. A. G. Blakeway, LeMars; Mrs. M. Campbell and John Norris,
Seattle, Washington; and four grandchildren, Herbert Norris Blakeway, Hazel
Campbell, William D. Norris and Josephine Norris.

The record of the life of this departed would not be complete unless we
chronicle the important event of his life which took place in 1876 when he
found Jesus Christ as his personal Saviour. One Thursday evening he came
into the prayer meeting, conducted by Rev. R.C. Glass during his first
pastorate here, and simply said, "he would put his shoulder to the wheel:
and that same evening at family prayers in his own home Jesus spoke pardon
to his soul. The load of guilt for passed sins was lifted and he rejoiced in
his new friend. Shortly after this event he attended a camp-meeting at Clear
Lake and here entered the experience of sanctification. His life from that
time was one of ardent devotion to His Master and he was ever found against
sin and in favor of righteousness. During the years of temperance agitation
for the Constitutional amendment, he was a hard and efficient worker. His
talks and earnest appeals will be remembered by many. He was a man of
strong convictions and a will to carry out his inner conclusions. He
believed God and faithfully followed Jesus Christ. He was a class leader in
the Methodist Episcopal Church for thirty years.

Funeral services were conducted by Rev. R. C. Glass in Green Lake M.E.
Church Seattle, Washington. Among the former LeMars people attending the
services were Mr. and Mrs. Hicks, Mr. and Mrs. W. N. Croft, Mr. and Mrs.
Adamson, Mr. and Mrs. Conner, Mr. and Mrs. W. R. Jamison, J. E. Clark, W. A.
Croft, A. W. Croft, Wm. Gosting, and A.M. Andrews. The latter person and
Mr. Jamison assisted as pallbearers. Miss Rose Glass sang the favorite hymn
of Mr. Norris, "How Can I Keep From Singing."

Servant of God, well done!
They glorious warfare's past:
The battle's fought,
The race is won, and
Thou art crowned at last.

The funeral sermon was preached by Dr. Glass, under whose pastorate in
LeMars in 1875, the deceased joined the church and became a Christian. Mr.
Glass took the following words for his text.

"He was a good man full of the Holy Ghost and of faith and much people were
added unto the Lord." Acts 11:24

Dr. Glass said in part:

"If I were to obey the impulse of my own heart today, I'd step down from the
pulpit and take my place with the mourners for in the death of Brother
Norris I feel myself personally bereaved. Because of the intimate
association of over thirty years I have loved him as I have loved few men.
Outside the circle of my own family there is no one for whom I have a more
tender regard. Yet, I find a sad sweet pleasure in speaking some words in
memory of my friend and brother and weaving a chaplet to lay on his casket.
How strange and yet how fitting that in the Providence of God this man who
was one of my first converts in my first pastorate at LeMars should be led
half way across the continent to again become my parishioner and then fall
asleep in Jesus and make it my sacred duty to speak these last words in
memory of his noble life-"He is a good man and these words were spoken at
first of Barnabas-Paul's co-worker and yet they are just as applicable to
this honored servant of God. Brother Norris was one of the best men I have
ever known. My acquaintance with him began when I first went to LeMars as
pastor of the Methodist church in 1875. He was not a Christian then, indeed
far from it. The whole circumstances of his awakening of his conviction,
conversion and reformation were most remarkable which led him to go to the
Thursday night prayer meeting where he began the Christian life and he
continued without any break for thirty years. He has ever since been a
monument to saving grace and a pillar in the church of God. Some months
later he accompanied his pastor to the camp meeting at Clear Lake and was
led out into experience of full salvation and devoted himself more earnestly
to personal work. He consecrated a part of his means for the purchase of
religious books and tracts for gratuitous distribution. Perhaps no minister
in town was more often sought out by inquirers after religion than was he.
In the back room of his butcher shop many souls were saved.

He was in the forepart of all religious and temperance work and was a right
hand supporter of the pastor in all aggressive work. I soon appointed him
class leader and he has served in that and other official positions through
his long life. A few months ago when he came here to make his home, I was
scarcely less glad than his children that we were to be again associated as
pastor and parishioner. He was present at nearly every service, only last
Sunday morning gave his testimony in class that he was here for his health
and to serve the Lord and he felt he was being made a well man, at the close
of the sermon last Sunday he led in prayer and prayed most earnestly for the
unsaved.

Was about as usual going into the city Monday and Wednesday. Retired
Wednesday night after having led the family in prayers. In which he
remembered each member of the family here he prayed for each child and
grandchild by name. His daughter Mary said afterwards it was the sweetest
prayer she ever heard. He was feeling so well that day but before midnight a
stroke of paralysis came and before morning his spirit had gone to God who
gave it.

After retiring he had said to his wife it would be a sad journey for either
of them to take if one of them should be called and the other took them back
home for burial. It was always his wish to be laid to rest from the old home
town where he had lived for forty years. We shed no tears today for him. For
him to die was gain. We sorrow for ourselves and our own loss. He has found
the life more abundant and a fuller existence. Earth poorer and Heaven
richer. What a precious legacy has been left to his family, worth more to
them than millions. May his children follow him as he followed Christ. We
commend the widow to God and sympathy and prayer as she goes on her lonely
journey and the dear ones that remain here.

FUNERAL IN LE MARS

The remains arrived in LeMars on Friday and the funeral was held on Sunday
at the First Methodist Church and was very largely attended by old friends
of the deceased. The service was conducted by Rev. G. F. Whitfield pastor of
the church who took for his text the word in the epistle of St. James,
second chapter, twenty-third verse, "And the Scripture was fulfilled which
saith Abraham believed God and it was imputed unto Him for righteousness and
He was called the Friend of God."

The pastor preached an eloquent sermon and paid high tribute to the memory
of the deceased. The remains were followed to the grave by many sorrowing
friends and the pallbearers were life long acquaintances of the deceased.
They were M. Hilbert, Thos.
Adamson, I.S. Struble, T.K. Chapman, D.R. Edmonds and W.H. Perry.

Woman Burned to Death

Alton Democrat: - Mrs. Gerrit Vande Steeg died at Orange City Wednesday
morning at two o'clock of burns received the evening before. At about five
o'clock Tuesday evening Mrs. Vande Steeg was seen by her neighbors to rush
from the kitchen of her home into the yard with her clothing ablaze. The
unfortunate woman's mind has been deranged for some time and it is a
question whether her terrible death was from accident or suicidal mania -
she having threatened to take her life. The fire started with a kimona
trimmed in eiderdow and may possibly have been accidental. The woodwork of
the kitchen in one place was scorched however as though the unfortunate
woman had stood a while till the flames got started before rushing into the
yard. She was badly burned from her knees up and her hair was singed off.
It was the inhaling of the flames however that caused death. Deceased was
about forty-eight years old and leaves a husband and five children.

LeMars Semi-Weekly Sentinel, February 22, 1907

Mrs. James E. Rose Was Beloved by a Large Circle of Friends

The funeral service of the late Mrs. James Rose was held on Friday at the
Methodist church in Merrill and were largely attended. Rev. J. Gilbert,
pastor of the church, officiated and preached an eloquent sermon. The
remains were brought to the LeMars cemetery for interment and were followed
to the grave by a large cortège.

The Merrill Record pays a just tribute to the virtues of the deceased who
was well known in Plymouth county. The Record says: Mrs. James E. Rose died
last Monday morning at her home in this city after an illness lasting
scarcely ten days. The community mourns today with her relatives for she was
a noble soul whose charity and good will knew no bound. Her daily life was a
poem and a sermon, never complaining, always cheerful, kind hearted and
sympathetic. Her own burdens and afflictions were always secondary to the
comfort and happiness of those around her. Her visible presence is gone but
the kindly disposition and Christian character will live while memory shall
last and this great world is far better for her having lived in it. Her
Christian principals were no parade before the world by loud and boisterous
words but kind acts and deeds of love that was for her a warm place in the
heart of every one, in the home circle she was the same joyous good natured
Christian woman. Mrs. James Rose, whose maiden name was Ruth Raw, was the
youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James Raw, of Shullsburg, Wis. She was
born in Shullsburg, December 1855. In November 1886, she came to Merrill,
Iowa where she has also resided. Thirty-two years ago, the fourteenth of
June, she was married to James E. Rose.

She leaves a husband, three sisters, and three brothers. The sisters are
Mrs. Albert Muxlow, Mrs. Ralph Hodgson and Mrs. Anthony Alderson all
residing near here in LeMars. The three brothers are Frank Raw and James
Raw, of Darlington, Wis., and Thomas Raw, Dominion City, Manitoba. No
children were born to Mr. and Mrs. James Rose. However, they were there to
raise and educate John R. Burtos and his sister Mrs. Ali Lasse, who came to
the Rose family at the age of nine and fourteen; also Fred Hodgson, son of
Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Hodgson at the age of three.

In religious life, Mrs. Rose was zealous, efficient worker since she first
joined the Primitive Methodist church at Wardsville, Wis., when she was only
eighteen years of age. Since coming to Merrill, she has labored faithfully
in the Methodist Episcopal church doing valiant service for the Master and
His people.

[Transcriber Note: She died 18 Feb 1907]
