IS BADLY INJURED
WILL WEIS LIES AT HOSPITAL IN SERIOUS CONDITION
AUTOMOBILE WAS OVERTURNED

With His Wife and Children Was Returning From Struble to His Home in South
Dakota When Dog Rushed Across His Path

A bad accident in which William Weis, of Volin, S.D., a former well-known
resident of Struble, was badly injured, occurred yesterday morning near the
Tony Tammen farm four miles west of Struble, when an automobile in which Mr.
Weis, his wife and four children were riding, skidded and overturned,
throwing out the occupants and practically wrecking the car.

Mr. Weis suffered a fracture of the skull, several broken ribs, and a number
of contusions and bruises. Mrs. Weis was severely bruised about the head and
face, but her injuries are not serious. The children escaped unharmed.

Mr.Weis was conveyed to Struble where Dr. Null and Dr. Rubel attended to his
injuries and had him conveyed to the Mosher hospital where he is now lying
in precarious condition.

Mrs. Weis and the children were taken to Struble where an examination by
physicians showed they were not hurt, although Mrs. Weis was suffering from
the mental shock. She and two of the children came down in the afternoon to
see Mr. Weis at the hospital.

The Weis family came down last week to visit relatives and friends in
Struble where they formerly lived and were returning to their home at Volin
when the accident occurred yesterday morning. They were driving along the
road between Struble and Craig at a moderate gate when a dog dashed out on
the road. In avoiding the animal, Mr. Weis steered the car to one side of
the road and they he suddenly skidded and turned clear over. When the
inmates of the car recovered from the first shock they discovered the car
right side up racing in the direction from which they came. The car was
badly wrecked and rendered almost useless.

DEATH OF A VETERAN
Walter S. Clark Homesteaded Here Over Forty Years Ago

W. S. Clark, a pioneer resident of Plymouth county, died at his home in
Sioux City on Friday night. Mr. Clark was well known to the early residents
of LeMars and vicinity. He homesteaded land at an early day a mile and a
half east of town on what is known as the old brewery. Mr. Clark frequently
visited in LeMars and only two weeks ago was here visiting with old friends.
The SIOUX CITY JOURNAL says of him:

"Walter S. Clark, 81 years old, for thirty years a resident of Sioux City,
died last night at the home of his daughter, Mrs. W. H. Drumm, 1523 West
Sixth Street, of senility.

Mr. Clark was born in Vermont in 1836. He enlisted in the Fifteenth regiment
of Illinois cavalry in 1861 and served through the Civil War.

In connection with his enlistment as a soldier in the Union army occurred an
incident to which Mr. Clark looked back upon I recent years with some
amusement. The first attempt of Mr. Clark to enlist in the Union forces was
a failure and the examining physicians said he was afflicted with
tuberculosis. His second attempt was successful and after serving through
the war, Mr. Clark lived more than a half century.

It was in 1861 that Mr. Clark came to Iowa and with his parents settled in
Plymouth county, just east of LeMars. In 1868 he was married to Miss Anna
McGilpin (sic--McGulpin,) of Melbourne, Iowa. He came to Sioux City in 1887.

He is survived by two sons, S.S. Clark, of Quincy, Mich., and W.K. Clark, of
Rochester, N.Y., and a daughter, Mrs. W.H. Drumm, of Sioux City, all of whom
were present when death came."

The funeral services were held on Sunday afternoon from the residence. Rev.
D.R. Huber conducting the services and the interment made in the Floyd
Cemetery in Sioux City.

MRS. J. C. BUTTON

Mrs. J. C. Button, one of Akron's oldest and most beloved residents, was
called to the Master's Home Sunday evening, May 20, 1917.  She had been in
failing health for a couple of years, particularly since the death of her
husband on August 7, 1916, since which time she has resided with the family
of her daughter, Mrs. R. J. Hauck.  About two weeks ago she became seriously
ill, and despite all that loving care and medical skill could accomplish,
pneumonia developed and her previously weakened condition and advanced age
(74 years) could not long withstand the added affliction.

L. Carrie Sheppard was born in the state of Ohio, near Morristown, Belmont
county, in the year 1843.  She lived at her birthplace until her fifth year,
when her folks moved to Morgan county, Ohio, where they resided until 1850,
at which time they located in Cumberland county, Illinois.  There she
finished her schooling and afterward taught in the schools of that county
until 1861, when the family came to Iowa, locating at Knoxville. They then
moved to Maysville, Franklin county, Iowa, where she also engaged in school
teaching up to the time of her marriage to Joshua C. Button on November 7,
1865. 

After their marriage, Mr. and Mrs. Button made their home at Alden, Ia.,
where they were located for four years, and then moved west to Lincoln
county, South Dakota (the Dakota Territory), taking a homestead and
preemption claim a few miles southwest of Canton, experiencing the early-day
trials of pioneers in a newly-settled country.  After living there a short
time they came to Akron (the Portlandville), Iowa, which has since remained
the family home.  Four children were born to this union, Greeley, Orley,
William and May, of whom the two former have passed on.  There are left to
mourn the loss of an ever kind and loving mother, one son, William A.
Button, of Kansas City, Mo., and one daughter, Mrs. May L. Hauck, of Akron,
along with one sister, Mrs. Mary Addis, of Ponca, Nebr., one brother Frank
Sheppard, of Wallace, S.D., and eleven grandchildren and one great grandson.
A host of staunch friends mingle their sorrow with and unite in sympathy to
the bereaved family.

Mrs. Button was a noble, consistent Christian woman throughout the more than
three score and ten years allotted her.  She was one of the pioneer workers
in the Akron M.E. church and a charter member of the W.C.T.U., of this city,
to both of which for many years she gave unstintingly of her time and
services.  While in active health, it was her great ambition to help others
in sickness and distress, and many are the memories cherished of her kindly
deeds and words of sympathy and encouragement; but during the past two years
of her sickness and affliction she has been hindered in her desires for
helpful service, much to her regret.

Funeral services were held Tuesday afternoon in the Akron M.E. church, Rev.
W.W. Tyrrell, in his sermon, paying tender tribute to her beautiful
character and useful life.  A goodly number of friends and neighbors
assembled to pay a final tribute of respect.  Interment was made beside her
departed husband and two sons in Riverside cemetery.

Relatives who came from a distance were W. A. Button, of Kansas City, Mo.;
Mrs. Mary Addis, of Ponca, Neb.; and Mrs. A. G. Button and son, James, of
Highmore, S.D.; Mrs. Rose Treglia, of Sioux City, a friend of the family,
came to attend the funeral.

MRS. E. MANN

Brief mention was made in these columns last week of the death of Mrs. E.
Mann at the family home near Colome, Tripp county, S.D., on Tuesday, May 15,
1917, of cancer of the stomach, aged 46 years, 11 months and 11 days.

Lavinia J. Pendleton was born in Lafayette county, Wisconsin, June 4, 1870,
residing there until eleven years of age, when she came with her parents,
Mr. and Mrs. John Pendleton, brothers and sisters to LeMars, Plymouth
county, Iowa.  At that place on April 20, 1887, she was united in marriage
to E. Mann, and they began housekeeping on a farm in Johnson township,
Plymouth county, which remained their home for nearly thirty years.  There
came to bless this union three children, Jesse J., Embert E., and Carrie
Irene, who, with the husband, are left to mourn a faithful wife and loving
mother.  The family moved to Tripp county, S. D., in March 1915, where they
have since made their home, and where, after only a few weeks illness the
wife and mother passed quietly away.  Her many loyal friends and neighbors
will long remember her bright and cheerful disposition and her helpful and
sympathetic nature, and all extend their heartfelt sympathy to the husband
and children, to the aged parents and to the other relatives in their sad
bereavement through her untimely taking away.  Besides the husband and
children, there survive her parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Pendleton, of Akron;
three brothers, Ed. And Jesse Pendleton, of near Akron; and Wm. Pendleton,
of Tripp county, S.D.; three sisters, Mrs. Carrie Ogden, near Akron; Mrs.
Hattie Smith, of LeMars, Ia.; and Mrs. Emily Alkire, of Fairbury, Nebr.  All
were able to attend the funeral except Wm. Pendleton.

Mr. and Mrs. John Pendleton, parents of the deceased, and Mrs. Leon Ogden, a
sister, of Akron, and Mrs. Jos. Smith, of LeMars, a sister, were called to
Tripp county the first of last week by her critical illness, and they
accompanied Mr. Mann, Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Mann, Embert and Carrie Mann, and
the remains to Akron Saturday.

Funeral services were held in the Akron M.E. church Sunday afternoon and a
large concourse of friends, including many from the old home vicinity near
Adaville, assembled to pay a last tribute of respect.  Rev. W. W. Tyrrell
delivered an impressive sermon.  There were many beautiful floral offerings.
The local members of the Royal Neighbors lodge, of which order the deceased
was a member, attended the service in a body.  Interment was made in
Riverside cemetery.  There the Royal Neighbors exemplified their beautiful
burial service.

Other relatives attending the funeral were an aunt, Mrs. Annie Parker, of
LeMars, and a number of cousins, [one line appears to be missing.]

The Winner (S.D.) Journal of May 19th had the following to say of the death
of Mrs. Mann and the services there:  "On Friday night a large number of
friends paid their tribute of love to the memory of Mrs. Lavinia Mann, who
died at their home in Dog Ear township last Tuesday evening after a severe
illness of a few weeks, at the age of forty-six years, eleven months and
eleven days.  The funeral services were held at the Lakeview church on
Friday morning, and conducted by Rev. James T. Guerney, the pastor.  During
the short time she had lived in this county, she had made for herself many
friends who had learned to respect and love her."

MRS. BRIDGET DUNN

A brief mention was made in these columns last week of the death of Mrs.
Bridget Dunn last Thursday morning, but the following is more complete
obituary:

Mrs. Bridgett Dunn was born in Limerick, Ireland, October 30, 1837, and with
her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Thos. Sheridan, immigrated to Durham, Ontario,
Canada, in 1851, and took up their residence on a farm.  At the age of 16
years she was united in marriage with Patrick Dunn, of the same place.
After residing in Canada for eleven years, they moved to Negaunee, Michigan,
in 1864.  Here Mr. Dunn followed the occupation of mining for three years
and for seven years was engaged as a policeman.  Desirous of following his
former occupation, farming, he moved with his family to LeMars, Plymouth
county, Iowa, in 1874, and was, therefore, one of the early pioneer families
of this county, enduring all the hardships attached to all early settlers in
those days of short crops and grasshopper devastations.  Mrs. Dunn, after
the death of her husband, moved with her family from the farm in Grant
township, this county, to Akron, Iowa, in 1899, which has since been her
home.  She was stricken with paralysis December 14, 1915, from which she
never fully recovered, and she passed peacefully away Thursday morning May
17, 1917.  she was preceded in death by her husband and four children.  She
leaves to mourn her departure six children-Mrs. J. M. McCarty, of Sheldon,
Iowa; John P. Dunn, of Manila, Philippine Islands; Mrs. M. A. Agnes, Mrs. T.
J. Redmond, Miss Margaret Dunn and P. H. Dunn, all of Akron.  Mrs. Dunn was
one of the most kindly mothers, a helpful and generous neighbor and a loyal
friend, every ready with a word of cheer and never known to say aught of
anyone.  A devout member of the Roman Catholic church, her daily life
exemplified the true teachings of her faith.

Funeral services were held Saturday morning at 9:30 o'clock, in the church
of St. Patrick, Father D. K. Hurley officiating.  A large number of friends
were in attendance as a last mark of respect to the memory of the departed.
Interment was in the Catholic cemetery here.

Relatives and friends from a distance in attendance at the funeral were her
daughter, Mrs. J. M. McCarty and family, of Sheldon, Iowa; and friend, Miss
Downs; Mr. and Mrs. Donald Johnston, of Ireton, Iowa; Mrs. Thomas Stack and
M. B. Redmond and wife, of LeMars, Iowa.

DEATH OF MRS. R. H. REEVES     
She Had Lived In This Community Since Girlhood

Mrs. Reeves, wife of Robert H. Reeves, of Seney, died at an early hour
on Sunday morning at her home after a long and lingering illness in
which she suffered greatly.

Mrs. Reeves was one of the pioneer residents of this vicinity, coming
here with her parents when a girl.  She was born in Kent, England, on
November 16, 1855, her maiden name being Lucy Potter.  When she was a
baby her parents came to this country and to Seney in 1869.  She was
united in marriage with Robert Reeves in 1875.

She is survived by her husband, two children, Paul Reeves and Mrs. May
Manning, of this county, and her aged father, Thomas Potter, who lives
at Sheldon.

The funeral services were held at the Seney church yesterday afternoon,
Rev. B.
Watson officiating, and were largely attended by old friends and
neighbors.  Mrs. Reeves was a devout member of the church.  She chose
the text from her sermon, “Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall
see God.”

Mrs. Reeves was universally respected and beloved in the community where
she spent nearly all her life.

Marriage licenses were issued on Saturday to:
H. F. Probasco and Byrdie Collins of Kingsley;
Hermann Kehrberg, of Kingsley, and Gladys Weinheimer, of Merrill;
Peter Fredrich Brauer and Margaret Null, of LeMars.

Hinton Gazette
May 31, 1917

LOCAL AND PERSONAL
John Barnes returned Saturday from Marble Creek, Id., where he had been
called by a telegram announcing the accidental drowning of his brother,
Fred, in the St. Joe river. Every effort possible has been made to
recover the body but so far without success. The aged parents who reside
here and the brothers and sisters who survive him have a double burden
of grief because of this sad circumstance in the taking off of the son
and brother and in their sorrow have the sincerest sympathy of a legion
of friends.

Mr. and Mrs. William Muecke last week celebrated their silver wedding
anniversary. The popularity of this couple was attested by the fact that
nearly 200 friends were present to enjoy the evening and to extend
congratulations. Mr. and Mrs. Muecke are numbered among the highly
respected families of Plymouth and a legion of friends extend the wish
that the future holds innumerable other anniversaries for them under as
bright auspices as this one.

Mr. Ollie Harrison and Miss Georgine Winter of this place were married
in Sioux City Wednesday last. Both of these young people were raised in
Hinton and both enjoy the respect and friendship of the entire
community. Mr. Harrison is employed by a Sioux City wholesale house, and
they will make their home in that city.

CARDS OF THANKS
We wish to express our heartfelt thanks to the friends and neighbors for
their kind help and sympathy and also for the beautiful floral tributes
in the loss of our beloved daughter, Viola May Hartman.
