Just as the wedding march began for his marriage on last Sunday, the
groom, George Dempster, aged 28, was stricken with epilepsy and his
marriage to Miss Ruth Conklin, the 16 year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
C.H. Conklin, residents of Correctionville, was postponed. The wedding
dinner, however, was served while the young man was being revived
upstairs. The father refused the request of the bride to let the
ceremony proceed and the marriage has been indefinitely postponed.
There were 50 guests present. They gathered up the gifts they had
brought and departed after the dinner. Mr. Dempster is a civil engineer
and a member of the county engineer's force and met Miss Conklin while
there last fall. His parents live in Aberdeen, Scotland. He graduated
last year from the University of Wisconsin.

OBITUARY OF MRS. JOHN GREBNER
Laura Ethel Waddle was born in Liberty township, Plymouth county, Iowa,
June 7, 1885, and died in Webster, South Dakota, March 3, 1914, at the
age of 28 years, 8 months and 26 days. She received her education in
the country schools of Plymouth county, and at the University of South
Dakota. With her people, she lived in Merrill, Iowa, for about a year
but had returned to the old homestead some time before she was united in
marriage to Mr. John Grebner, July 15, 1908. Immediately after their
wedding the couple went to their new home on a farm near Lisbon, N.D.,
where they resided for about eighteen months and where their home was
gladdened by arrival of a daughter, Una Rose. They next settle upon
their claim near Lemmon, S.D., and after proving up, they moved to a
farm northeast of Webster, S.D., where they have since resided. On
account of illness, Mrs. Grebner had been staying with her mother in
Webster for a few weeks, but her condition was not at any time
considered dangerous and the end was entirely unexpected. She leaves a
grief-stricken husband, a 4-year-old daughter, a sorrowing mother Mrs.
W. W. Waddle, of Webster, S.D., six brothers, William, Thomas, Arthur,
Reuben, Frederick and Edward Waddle all of whom with the exception of
Thomas on the old home farm, reside in or near Webster, S.D., also a
sister, Mrs. Myron Kanago of Webster. Mrs. Grebner was a consistent
Christian, a member of the U. B. church at Adaville, Ia., and also a
member of the Yeoman lodge.
Funeral services were conducted in the M. E. church at Webster last
Thursday by Rev. M. R. Crisp and Rev. J. M. Hunter; in the J. G. Grebner
home at Merrill Saturday morning by Rev. A. J. Barkley, pastor of the M.
E. church of that place, and Saturday afternoon at the Adaville church
by Rev. G. H. Varce and Rev. A. J. Barkley. The remains were interred
in the Adaville cemetery where her father was laid to rest but a little
over a year ago. The pallbearers were Messrs. Geo. Beaulieu, Waldon
Fry, Herbert Johnson, Warren King, Jack Tindall and Bert Trometer, all
old neighbors and friends of the deceased. Mrs. Grebner was a lovable
girl and woman and leaves many friends who sorrow with the bereaved
family.

FIRE AT SCHOOL HOUSE
Department Called Out by Blaze at St. Joseph's
A defective chimney at the St. Joseph's parochial school started
a fire yesterday morning about ten o'clock. The children were
out in the playground, it being recess time when the blaze
started. They noticed flames coming out of the chimney and that
the roof was on fire. They gave an alarm to the Sisters and a
telephone call was sent into the fire department. The blaze was
extinguished with some difficulty as it was smoldering in the
vicinity of the chimney between joists on the second and third
floors. The damage was mostly caused by water which soaked off
the plastering in the halls and some of the rooms and will
amount probably to $100. The loss is covered by insurance.

operation in which his left leg was amputated at the hip in an effort to

and a leader in church work, and throughout his illness spoke of his
Sunday School class who under his kindly direction had grown into a
splendid organization know as the "What-So-Evers." While very little
hope was entertained of his recovery, his death comes as a shock to his
loving wife, aged father and mother and other relatives and friends; and
it is to be regarded as a great loss to the community. The funeral was

ELECTION NEXT MONDAY
Changes in Both Tickets --- Citizen's Now Has Complete Line-Up, With
Swanson for Mayor
After considerable "jockeying" and maneuvering the past week the two
municipal tickets - People's and Citizen's - have been whipped into
shape for the contest at the polls next Monday, March 30. The only
change in the People's ticket as nominated at the caucus was the
withdrawal of E. O. Thorson, a nominee for councilman, and his place on
the ticket will be left blank. A different line-up is presented on the
Citizen's ticket, however. After much solicitation, F. J. Swanson
finally consented to head that ticket and was nominated for mayor after
withdrawing as councilman. W. C. Anderson was nominated as councilman
in his place. H. Shoulberg, named for treasurer, withdrew, and Dr. G.
H. Wooten was nominated to fill the vacancy.
The voting place Monday will be at the Wade & Burnight garage. The
polls will open at 8 a. m. and remain open until 7 p.m.
In voting, an X should be marked in the square in front of the name of
each candidate that is desired to voted for. The nine candidates fro
councilmen are not paired against one another on the opposing tickets,
as all are running for the two-year term. Any five of the councilmen
can be voted for, irrespective of positions on the ticket.
