DEATH OF CAPT. LOTHROP
As an Orator He Gained Considerable Fame

Captain Lothrop, well known in northwestern Iowa as an orator, attorney and
Civil War veteran, died at his home in Sioux City of senility on Tuesday.

Mr. Lothrop was born in Dover, Massachusetts, October 9, 1836. When he was
16 years old, his parents moved to Illinois, where he worked on a farm until
September 1859, when he entered the Chicago Law School. He studied under
Prof. Henry Booth until the war broke out in April, 1861.

With the first call of the war, Mr. Lothrop responded and enlisted as a
private in Company I, 11th Illinois infantry, as a 90-day man. He
reenlisted in August in Company E, 26th Illinois infantry, was elected
orderly sergeant and then promoted to the rank of second lieutenant. He was
successively appointed first lieutenant and then captain of the same
company. The latter rank he held during most of the war.

After the close of the hostilities, he returned to Ottawa, Ill., where he
took up the practice of law. Before coming to Sioux City in July, 1884, he
practiced for a short time in Champaign, Ill. In Sioux City he formed a
partnership with R. M. Dott, and opened a law office. President Harrison
appointed him collector of internal revenue for the Third district of Iowa
in July, 1889, and he held the position for many years.

In the past few years Captain Lothrop, after the firm of Lothrop & Dott had
been dissolved, maintained law offices in the Iowa building. He specialized
in drainage cases and made a successful record in handling them.

Captain Lothrop was a staunch Republican, and took an active interest in the
welfare of his party. He served one term in 1896 in the state senate,
representing Woodbury county. As an orator he was far famed, and he was a
state campaigner in the interest of McKinley, Roosevelt and Taft.

The family was gathered at the bedside when death came. He is survived by
his widow, two sons, Merton, of Kansas City, Mo., and Ralph, of Sioux City,
and two daughters, Mrs. Gertrude Howe, of San Antonio, Tex., and Miss Hattie
Lothrop, of Sioux City.

THE BIG DAY IS HERE
LeMars Will Have Big Celebration Today and Tonight

All plans are made for a proper observance of the nation’s birthday in
LeMars today. There will probably be the all night welcome of noise and the
sales of the local merchants of fire crackers indicate it will be anything
but a quiet day.

The first feature of the celebration will be the automobile parade at 9:30
a.m. under the direction of the Plymouth County Automobile Association.
Prizes for the best decorated car from both town and outside are offered and
it is expected there will be a large number of entries.

Following a concert by the Remsen band on the street in the morning there
will be a ball game with Doon at 10 o’clock in the morning and another at 3
o’clock in the afternoon. During the latter game the day fireworks will be
given.

In the evening the big fireworks spectacle will be given at Athletic Park.
Factory representatives have been here all week mounting the big pie3ces and
a great show is insured. The Remsen band will give an hour’s concert just
before the display occurs. And admission fee of 25 cents will be charged to
the fireworks and after it is over you will agree it was worth twice the
money.

~Chas. Morehead and Ed Hoffmann and their families, of Westfield, were in
LeMars on Tuesday. While going home in their car about two miles west of
town, an axle broke on one of the wheels and they were ditched. Fortunately
no one was hurt. They sought shelter at a neighboring farm and telephoned
to LeMars for a car to take them home.

~Friends in LeMars have received word of the death of Vernon R. Chase, of
Chicago. His death occurred while he was on a trip in Montana, partly on
business and partly for his health. His widow was formerly Miss Jennie
Smith, of this city. Mr. Chase had visited here frequently and was well
known to a number of LeMars people.

~Mr. and Mrs. W. G. Bolser will leave in a few days on a trip to Yellowstone
Park.

DEATH OF MRS. MOHAN
She Had Suffered Much In The Past Two Years
WELL BELOVED IN A LARGE CIRCLE
The Deceased Was a Charter Member of St. James Aid Society, a Devout
Christian, Loving Wife and Mother and Loyal Friend.

Surrounded by her children and relatives, receiving every consolation that
loving hearts can give, Mrs. Delia L. Mohan, wife of the late John T. Mohan,
passed to her eternal reward Monday evening, July 1st.

Through a lingering illness of almost two years, she has borne her cross
with patience, fortitude and hope. The end came peacefully on Monday
evening as the sum was nearing the western horizon.

Delia L. Conness was born near Streator, La Salle county, Illinois, on
February 4, 1853. There she spent her girlhood life. On October 23, 1878,
she was united in marriage with John T. Mohan, living in La Salle county
until May 1883, when they came to LeMars, which has been her home since.

To this union were born five children, one of whom preceded her in death.
The children are: Dr. J. C. Mohan, of Sioux City; Lily Mae, John T. and
Walter T. Mohan, living at home.

Mrs. Mohan’s chief interest in life were her home and the welfare of her
children.

She is also survived by an aged mother living at Streator, who is ninety
years old; four sisters, Miss Mary Conness and Mrs. Jas. Coudon, of
Streator, Mrs. James Larkin, of Yukon, Okla.; and five brothers, Robert L.,
Walter, John and Luke Conness, all of La Salle county, Illinois, and B. J.

an active part in the work of the Society. Mrs. Mohan was blessed with a
bright and happy disposition and she carried with her always cheerfulness
and sunshine. Those dearest to her have lost a kind and loving mother and
the community a true and helpful friend.

The funeral was held on Wednesday morning at St. James church and was
largely attended. Services were conducted by Rev. Father E. O’Farrell,
pastor of the church, Rev. Father Wolf, Rev. E. T. McNally, of Maurice, and
Rev. Father Conway, of Carroll. The remains were laid to rest in the
Catholic cemetery beside those of her husband, who died April 28, 1911.

The pallbearers were Thos. Stack, Wm. Carel, Thos. Gallagher, Anton Sartori,
P. Farrell, M. Kennedy.

GEORGE JEFFERS MARRIED
Former Plymouth County Attorney Wins a Bride

A press dispatch from Baltimore to the Sioux City Journal announces the
marriage of George Jeffers, formerly a lawyer in this city and a county
attorney for several years.

A wedding in which many Iowa and South Dakota people will be interested took
place today in this city. The contracting parties were George Alba Jeffers
and Miss Ethel Van Sant.

Mr. Jeffers is an attorney and prominent Republican politician in the
Rosebud country of South Dakota, his residence being at Dallas. He formerly
lived at LeMars, Iowa, and was county attorney of Plymouth County. During
the last year Mr. Jeffers has had a number of very important cases before
the Indian Bureau and general land office, in the Interior Department at
Washington, and these have required his constant presence in the capital
city. It was while Mr. Jeffers was engaged on business in one of the
departments of government that he fist met Miss Van Sant, who was a member
of a party of young Virginia women on a visit to Washington.

Miss Van Sent lives in Westmoreland county, Virginia, a county which was the
birthplace of three presidents of the United States: Washington, Madison
and Monroe, and of which Lighthorse Harry Lee and his famous son, Robert E.
Lee, were natives. The Van Sant home is at Kinsall.

Today’s ceremony took place at 11 o’clock this morning in a private parlor
of the Caswell Hotel, in the presence of the immediate relatives of the
bride and a few close friends of the groom, who came over from Washington.
A wedding breakfast followed the marriage ceremony. This was served in a
private dining room walled with roses.

Mr. and Mrs. Jeffers departed this afternoon for California, where
arrangements have been made for them to take an automobile trip that will
last until autumn. They will be supplied with a camping outfit and expect
to spend the entire time on their wedding trip out of doors.

IN THE PINE GROVE
SENEYITES INDULGE IN A PLEASANT OUTING
INDEPENDENCE DAY OBSERVED

Members of Odd Fellows Lodge at Floyd Valley and Friends Enjoy a Good Old
Fashioned Time at Historic Spot in Plymouth

The picnic at Melbourne on the Fourth of July under the auspices of the
members of the Floyd Valley Odd Fellow Lodge was very largely attended,
there being several hundred present, who enjoyed a good old fashioned
celebration.

F. M. Roseberry, of LeMars, delivered an address in the forenoon and his
talk seemed to please the crowd. It was progressive and up to date. A ball
game between Hinton and Merrill was the feature of the afternoon, the former
winning the game.

An afternoon and evening bowery dance proved popular with the throng of
visitors and basket picnics were in great favor when neighbors met together
and enjoyed a real old fashioned Fourth at the foot of the steps of what was
once the first court house in Plymouth County.

-----
At Seney a Fourth of July program was rendered by home talent beneath the
pines while red, white and blue floated in the breeze. Each song and speech
reminded the people of the glorious Independence Day. A feature of the
program was a flag drill, given by eleven young ladies, each one doing her
part perfectly. Picnic dinners were served by families and groups of
neighbors.

After dinner County Attorney Clarence Roseberry delivered a fine address and
upheld the square deal policy. At two thirty all eyes were turned toward
the diamond where they LeMars Merchants and the Seney ball team clashed over
the national game. Batteries: For the Merchants, Clabaugh and Weidenfeler;
for Seney: Lancaster and Lancaster. The Merchants pushed three scores over
in the first two innings. That ended their scoring. Pitcher Lancaster’s
slants and curves were driven by a brawny arm and proved too dark for the
Merchants. He received a royal support from his catcher brother and had good
backing from his team mates. Both teams played a good clean game and the
Merchants were given a welcome back. Score, 13 to 3 for Seney.

Albert P. Noem station gent for the I.C.R.R. was drowned last Wednesday evening in a pond east of the Floyd river on the Blumer farm. He and Cecil Armstrong were in bathing and not being able to swim were wading in shallow water near the shore but in some manner Mr. Noem ventured too far out and stepped in a hole ten feet deep and went down. Four times he came up and each time his companion tried to save him but owing to his youth and inability to swim he was unable to do so. His companion ran over to George Ferguson’s home and gave the alarm. A large crowd soon gathered and did all they could to get him out but on account of the depth of the water it was an hour and a half before the body was recovered. Coroner Wiltgen of LeMars was notified and he came at once. The body was taken to the S.F.Fulton home where it was made ready for shipment to his mother and sister at Lake Preston S.D.
