condition become so serious that the authorities were notified and he
was removed to a hospital and a brother living at Alcester, S. D.,

assured that it would cost him nothing. When he realized that he was
dying he told the authorities where his money was hidden under the floor
of his shack. They came out and found a bag containing $275 in currency

brother having been called to California made arrangements with local

Akron Register
February 22, 1917
DIED:
James Stinton, one of the early pioneers and most highly respected citizens
of western Plymouth county, died in Akron, Sunday morning, February 18,
1917, at the ripe age of 83 years, 9 months and 9 days. On February 7th Mr.
Stinton slipped on the ice and fell at the home of his son, Edward, near
Adaville, suffering a dislocation and fracture of one of his hips. He was
at once brought to the Akron hospital and given the best of care and
attention, but his advanced age and depleted powers of resistance mitigated
against him and gave but slight hope for recovery from an injury of such
serious nature.
The Register-Tribune hopes to secure for next week's issue an extended
obituary of this good man and upright, useful citizen, who was so generally
beloved in this community, where he resided so many years.
Funeral services were conducted by Rev. W. W. Tyrrell in the Akron M.E.
church Monday afternoon, after which the remains were taken to the old home
at Adaville. Funeral services, largely attended, were conducted at the
church there Tuesday afternoon by Rev. Swender. Interment was made beside

Rev. F. A. Meske, officiated, conducting the nuptial service in English.
The bride was attended by her sister, Miss Lydia Bubs, and the groom by his
brother, Elmer Klemme. Miss Frances Meske played the wedding march, "Bridal

blossoms. Her maid was gowned in white allover net embroidery.
Following the ceremony, a sumptuous wedding dinner was partaken of by the
near relatives of the contracting parties at the home of the groom's
parents, Mr. and Mrs. Aug. Klemme, of this city.
The bride is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Albert Bubs, near Spink, S.D. She

attainments. For the past two years she has been employed in the home of
Mr. and Mrs. Frank Bonney, of this place, during which time she has also
been ticket seller at the Majestic theatre. The groom has gained the high
respect and confidence of the entire community by his upright character and
industrious habits. He has conducted a photograph studio and the Majestic

WILL LEAVE BORDER
COMPANY K SOONON HOMEWARD JOURNEY
PLANS TO WELCOME THE BOYS
Members Will Probably Arrive in LeMars on March 20 After Going To Des
Moines Where the Regiment Will be Mustered Out
Co. K will leave the border on Friday, March 2d, with the first section
of the Second Iowa Infantry to start north. Captain Koenig wired
yesterday that this was the plan and that unless something unforeseen
occurred the boys would begin their homeward journey on Tues of this
week. It will probably take a week to get to Des Moines and ten days to
two weeks more to muster out the regiment, so it will probably be at
least the 20th of March before Co. K marches through the streets of
LeMars to their armory. Plans are already being considered giving the
boys a fitting reception when they get home.
The boys of Co. K continue to maintain the record for efficiency which
they made from the start and last week at Leomaltu rifle range in the
skirmish run, won first with a score of 5.91. Company A was second with
a score of 5.84 and Co. L third with 5.74. Co L of the Fourth U.S.
Infantry, finished sixth scoring 4.81.
The boys of Co. K have made a record in every way of which they
community is proud and they will be given a welcome they will remember
when they get back home.
AFTER MARCH 1st, the Sentinel out-of-the-county subscription list will
be place on a cash in advance basis and all such papers will be stopped
at the expiration of the time for which they are paid. Each of the
Sentinel's subscribers getting mail at post offices outside Plymouth
county has received a personal letter announcing this change of policy.
With a few exceptions they have remitted the amount required to advance
their payment to January 1, 1918. Those who have not paid by the last
of this week will be dropped from the Sentinel's mailing list.
In view of the fact that so large a percentage of our Plymouth county
readers call at the Sentinel office and make personal payment of their
subscription we will for a time at least continue to allow one year's
credit to Plymouth county subscribers who prefer to take the year's time
and pay $2 instead of the cash in advance rate of $1.50, but in the
future where credit is extended it will be restricted to one year.
The increasing costs of making a newspaper make necessary this change of
policy and may force us to do as the dailies are doing in recent years,
and ask cash in advance of all subscribers.
