DEATH OF HENRY HERRON
Well Known Plymouth County Man Drops Dead
Pioneer Resident of Kingsley
His Sudden Death is a Great Shock to His Relatives and Many Friends as
He was a General Favorite and Very Popular

Henry Herron died Feb. 27, 1908, at his home in Kingsley.  The end came
without warning as he had been in his usual health and seemed to be
enjoying life as much as the most of his associates.  He arose in the
morning, at his breakfast and went about his usual business till about
nine o'clock, when he complained to his brother, Frank, that he was not
feeling well.  Frank told him to go home, which he did.  When he got
home he was suffering with a terrible pain in the region of the heart.
Frank was called and Mrs. Herron hurried for Dr. Wilbur, who happened to
be on the street, and when the doctor reached the house Henry was on the
floor gasping and died before anything could be done.  The Herron's are
well known all over Plymouth and adjoining counties having come here in
an early day and have been identified with the business interests of the
county.  While Henry has been more closely identified with Kingsley and
surrounding counties, a buyer of grain and stock and a land owner in

DEATH OF JOHN TRAFFORD.
Old Resident Dies Suddenly from Heart Disease.

John Trafford, one of the pioneers and an old time resident of LeMars, died very suddenly at his home in this city Sunday morning from heart trouble. Mr. Trafford had not been feeling very well for the past few weeks as he had been suffering from stomach trouble but had not regarded the trouble as serious as he had been about his business and up town as usual and on Saturday was feeling in first rate health and was down town greeting his friends. He and his wife spent the evening at a neighbor’s returning home between ten and eleven o’clock and went to rest.

About twelve o’clock, Mrs. Trafford was awakened and heard her husband groaning and a peculiar gurgling in his throat. She arose hurriedly, lighted the lamp, and seeing her husband was ill ran for restoratives and called their sons, but their father died in a few minutes, before medical aid could arrive. The physician pronounced it a case of heart disease.

His sudden death while apparently in good health and spirits is a great blow to the wife and children and friends. The funeral will be held at St. George’s Episcopal church this afternoon at two o’clock.

John Trafford was born in Frampton, Lincolnshire, England on June 4, 1840, where he was reared and educated and was married in February, 1862. In 1870 he and his wife emigrated to America and lived in Illinois and Wisconsin, making their home for a number of years at White Oak Springs, near Galena. In 1883 they came to Plymouth county and lived on a farm three miles west of town for many years and then moved to LeMars, where they have since lived. Mr. Trafford was an expert nursery man and of recent years has been salesman for the Gateway Nursery company.

Besides the widow, he leaves ten children who are: Mrs. H. Symonds, Harry, Charles, Ernest, Frank Everett, and Mrs. Warren Lillie, of this city; Mrs. A. T. Lille, Mandan, N.D.; Herbert, who is in British Columbia, and Will, who is out west.

Mr. Trafford was a loving husband and affectionate father, a good citizen and neighbor, kindly hearted, of a jovial disposition and was widely acquainted throughout the county.

     Seney--Word was received Tuesday of the sad blow that has come to
A. M. Cutland, by the death of his wife, who passed away Saturday night
at 10:30 o'clock after a lingering illness.  The blow was a double one.
At the same time his daughter, Mae, was very low and at 4:25 Sunday she
passed from this earth to the better world.  A double funeral was held
Tuesday.  Mr. Cutland was section foreman for a number of years.  After
leaving here they lived on their farm near Kendall, Wis., and from there
they moved to California and afterwards back to their old home near
Kendall, Wis., where they now reside.  The sad news came as a shock to
their many friends in this neighborhood.

Died at the home of his son, A. F. Pfaffle, north of Kingsley, March 8th,  of pneumonia, Albert Pfaffle.  The deceased was born in Baden, Germany, April 6, 1830, and had he lived until April 6th of this year would have been 78 years of age.  He came to America when he was 23 years of age and located in Chicago, where he worked at his trade of painting for a number of years.  He was married in 1854 in Will county, Illinois, to Miss Caroline Klemme.  With his family he moved to this county in 1890, where he resided until the time of his death, which occurred on the date above mentioned.  To Mr. and Mrs. Pfaffle were born nine children, three of whom with his wife preceded him to the great beyond.  Six children: A. F. and Will, of Kingsley; C. C. Pfaffle, of Clark , South Dakota; Ed. Pfaffle, of Boise City, Idaho; Edwin Pfaffle, of Nome, Alaska; and Mrs. Matilda Bates, of Pomona, California, survive him. Service was held at the home of his son, A. F. Pfaffle, by Rev. Shideler, Wednesday, March 11th, and the remains were laid to rest in the Pleasant Hill cemetery, north of Kingsley.  The deceased was a kind and loving father and a good neighbor and was a man who was highly respected by all who knew him.  The bereaved relatives have the sympathy of all in their sad loss.

NOTICE.
On account of unforeseen circumstances, I have been compelled to dispense with the services of Mr. and Mrs. Nelson, so, therefore, the Turkish Bath department at the White House Bathing Palace will be closed until further notice so as to give me time to correspond with other parties.

I thank all my friends for their kind patronage and hope they will be lenient with me until I get some new attendants.  The swimming pool and private baths will still be carried on.  ~R. W. Harrison, Prop.

DEATH OF JAMES CARLIN

WAS A WELL KNOW CHARACTER IN LE MARS IN EARLY DAYS
SOLD THOUSANDS OF ACRES OF LAND

He Was Employed by Close Bros. in the Balmy Days of the English Colony in
Northwest Iowa and Went with Them to Chicago

James C. Carlin, one of the pioneer residents of Plymouth county; died on
Monday, March 16th, at Arlington, Iowa, and the remains were brought here for
interment in the city cemetery on Wednesday. Mr. Carlin had made his home with
a niece, Mrs. Ayer, who with her husband, Dr. O. O. Ayer, of Arlington, have
tenderly nursed and cared for him during the last two years of his life. He
was practically helpless the past year, suffering from rheumatism and uremia.
He was seventy-six years, three months, and twenty-eight days old at the time
of his death.

James Carlin was a native of Pennsylvania having been born at Meadville. When
a young man he went to Australia when the gold fever was at its height, but
after mining there for several years he went dead broke and worked his way
back to America. In the early sixties he came west to Minnesota and lived at
Fillmore. In 1866 he came to Plymouth county and took up a homestead in
America township near where N.Redmon lives and lived there.

He was married at Lawrenceville, Pa., on November 8, 1874, to Miss Almeda
Riffle. To them three children were born who all died when young with
diphtheria and the mother, worn out with watching and nursing, soon followed,
dying on April 21, 1884.

Jim Carlin was probably one of the best known men in Le Mars and vicinity at
the latter end of the seventies and early eighties when northwest Iowa was the
Mecca for Englishmen and hundreds of them bought land in Plymouth, Sioux,
Osceola, Lyon and other counties and a big English colony as established in Le
Mars and another at Sibley.

Jim Carlin worked for the Close Bros., who in those days owned thousands of
acres of land in northwestern Iowa and southern Minnesota. The brothers never
picked on a better or shrewder man than Carlin for what he did not know about
land deals or any other kind of deals was not worth knowing. He worked for
them after they left Le Mars in Minnesota, Kansas, and in Chicago, where they
had their head office, and was in their employ up to the time of his death,
although unable to do any work the past two years.

"Humpy Jim" as he was familiarly called by his associates, was a hard drinking,
hard swearing, rough spoken man, but with a heart of gold. In the early
eighties the tenderfoot young Britisher took to him and Jim put many a callow
youth onto the ropes and showed him a trick or turn which stood him in turn in
after life. Jim could swear like a pirate and had a number of quaint phrases
and expressions which are still in vogue and some of which he coined himself.

He was a good fellow withal, and there are many men in many lands who knew Jim
and will recall him and his odd ways, and will pay a tribute to his memory.

He leaves two sisters, one living in Brooklyn, N. Y., and one at Grafton, West
Virginia.

The remains were brought to Le Mars for interment on Wednesday. The funeral
was held on Tuesday at Arlington. A brief service was held at the graveside,
Rev. G. F. Whitfield officiating.

The remains were accompanied here by Dr. and Mrs. O. O. Ayer, of Arlington and
Mrs. Ayer's brother, Frank Stevens, of Lime Springs, Iowa. Mr. and Mrs. Chas.
Riffle and son, Frank Riffle, came from Sioux City to attend the funeral.
