JOHN DEMPSTER DIES
WAS RESIDENT HERE FOR FORTY FIVE YEARS
EARLY SETTLER IN STANTON TOWNSHIP
Was a Native of Scotland and Came to America When a Youth
and Worked in Several States Before Coming to Iowa

     John Dempster, one of the pioneer settlers of Stanton township,
died on Friday at his home, 221 Second Avenue SE, LeMars. At the time
of his death he was 79 years, 1 month and 17 days old. Mr. Dempster had
been in poor health for a long time, and for the past year had
practically been unable to speak or hear.
     John Dempster was born at Lesmahago, Scotland, on November (5),
1846, and when a youth of nineteen years of age, in 1865, came to the
United States. He first located in Maryland and lived and worked
subsequently in Illinois, Colorado and Utah. He came to Iowa in 1875
and lived at Fort Dodge, where he was married on April 13, 1875, to Miss
Phoebe Hodgson. In 1878* they moved to Stanton township where they
successfully farmed until 1913 when Mr. and Mrs. Dempster retired from
farm life and came to LeMars to enjoy a well earned rest. Twelve
children were born to them. They are all living, seven girls and five
boys. Four of the children live in this community and the others in
Nebraska and South Dakota. They were all present at the bedside of
their father before he died.
     In 1913 Mr. Dempster had an attack of throat trouble from which he
partly recovered. The attack recurred and the cause was instrumental in
bringing on the long illness which finally proved fatal.
     Mr. Dempster was one of the honored men in the community in which
he lived so long and was an upright and just citizen, a loving husband
and father, and had many friends. While a resident of Stanton, he and
his family affiliated with the Free Methodist church, of which he was a
liberal supporter. Of late years he became a member of Hildreth
Memorial church where the funeral was held this afternoon, Rev. J. W.
Davis officiating. A large number of old friends and neighbors attended
the last rites. The interment was made in the city cemetery.

his home in Sioux Falls, S.D.

Surviving him are his mother, three sisters, Helene Murphy, of this
city; Mrs. Charles Stanley, of Ute, Iowa; and Vivian Murphy, of Sioux
Falls, S.D.; and three brothers, J.M Murphy of Sioux Falls, S.D.; John
Murphy, of Omaha, Neb., and Daniel J. Murphy, who is now touring Asia.
The mother of the deceased man lives in Sioux Falls, S.D.

Funeral services will be held t 9:30 o'clock at Salix, Iowa.

DOG FRUSTRATES ROBBERY
Night Watchman Fires at Fleeing Burglars

Ireton Ledger: Another attempt was made to robe the M.O. Kidwiler
clothing store Tuesday night. The thieves broke out a rear window of
the store but the heavy forbidding iron bars across the window and a
snarling, barking Airedale dog within evidently caused the intruders to
change their mind. The barking of the dog attracted Nightwatchman
Jansma and he appeared upon the scene just as the burglars were rounding
a corner down the alley. He fired a couple of shots in their direction
which hastened their departure from the city.

Gail and Rex Mitchell, of Creston, Iowa, are visiting at the home of
their uncle and aunt, Mr. and Mrs. Will G. Keck.

Mrs. Gladys Blair, of Minneapolis, is visiting her mother, Mrs. G. E.
Pew.

MINOR SUITS ARE FILED
Bank of Kingsley Seeks Property Levied on by Sheriff

of replevin against Sheriff Hugh Maxwell on an order issued by the court
the sheriff levied on corn and oats belonging to Fred Johnson. The bank
asserts a prior claim. The amount involved is $720.

Clara Pousch is plaintiff against Eliza Schmidt, also knows as Elizabeth

The New York Life Insurance company is plaintiff in a suit against Mr.
and Mrs. Joseph H. Pollock, E. H. Youngstrom, Jens P. Lund, First
National Bank of Akron, and Russell Pollock, involving a $10,000 loan

CONNECT NEW PHONE LINE
Kingsley and Remsen Companies Have Privately Owned Line

Remsen Bell: A new and privately owned telephone line is now in
operation between the Kingsley and Remsen exchanges. The Remsen,
Granville & Akron Telephone Company and the Kingsley Company are the
owners, having just completed the line connecting the two towns, and
began sending messages over the wires last Saturday.

Each company built half of the line. The new line will be a great
convenience to the patrons of the two concerns, since heretofore when
patrons at either of the two towns wished to converse with one another,
the message had to be sent by way of LeMars and Sioux City, which
required considerable time in some instances. Now the Remsen patrons
are able to get their party in or near Kingsley in very short order.

The new line was thrown open to the public use last Saturday, Henry
Falke, of Remsen, being the first to use it.

Mr. and Mrs. John Neisius entertained for Christmas dinner at their home
on Second Avenue SE their sons and daughters and other guests. Among
those who enjoyed the dinner party were Mr. and Mrs. Mat Neisius, Joe
Neisius, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Mathern, Mr. and Mrs. John J. Neisius and
son, Loring, and Hugh Hughes.
