P. F. DALTON RETIRES FROM BANK
Prominent LeMars Banker Decides to Take Life Easy Hereafter.
At the annual stockholders’ meeting of the First National Bank, P. F. Dalton, president of this bank since 1876, retired from active business. The following new officers were elected:
E. A. Dalton, president; G. L. Wernli, vice-president; J. A. Hoffman, vice-president; R. B. Dalton, cashier; C. L. Eastman, assistant cashier; J. M. Hayes, assistant cashier. The first four named, together with C. A. Wernli, are the new directors. The four principal officers have been with the institution from twenty to forty years.
During the last three or four years, Mr. Dalton has given very little attention to the management of the bank, and when he passed his eighty-third birthday recently, he decided it was time for him to quit.
Mr. Dalton located in LeMars in 1873, being first interested in the coal and grain business, after having served during the Civil War, during which he was promoted to a lieutenancy. In 1875, he became identified with the Plymouth County Bank of LeMars, now the First National. In addition to his banking interests, Mr. Dalton has numerous other interests and for years has been recognized as one of the leading financial and business factors of northwest Iowa. He has also been connected for many years with the Plymouth Milling company. He has always taken an active interest in the civic affairs of the community, was a member of the first city council, which obtained a corporation character for this city and during his active business career was identified with all movements having for their object the welfare of the community at large.
Mr. Dalton’s services to the community in the early days of pioneer struggles were of great benefit to many of the settlers who were able through him to secure banking accommodations which tided them over periods of stress that would have left them hopelessly stranded but for his assistance in time of need, which accounts in part for the esteem in which this kindly old banker is held by those who have had business dealings with him.

WAS LEADING DRUGGIST
ANTON SARTORI WAS PIONEER BUSINESS MAN HERE
SUCCUMBS TO BRIEF ATTACK OF ILLNESS
Located In LeMars in Early Eighties and Was Actively Engaged in Business for Forty Years. Was Widely Known in Northwest
Anton Sartori, leading druggist and prominent citizen in LeMars for forty years, answered the final summons on Saturday morning. His death came as a shock to the community where he was so widely known as few persons were aware that he was sick, not to say in a dangerous condition. His death followed an illness of pneumonia of five days duration. He was down town to his place of business on Monday prior to his death and went home that evening suffering from a cold, which developed serious complications. A friend called in to see him on Saturday morning between eight and nine and Mr. Sartori conversed with him and said he was feeling better and appeared most cheerful. A few minutes later Mr. Sartori told his wife he did not feel so well. She went to the bedside to adjust his pillows and while supporting him in her arms, he suddenly expired.
Anton Sartori was born in Dorlingbach Amt Ettenheim, Baden, Germany, on October 1, 1854. He received his early education at that place. When a boy of fourteen he came to the United States with a sister. He worked at his occupation of druggist in Philadelphia, Cincinnati and then came west locating in Cedar Falls, Iowa.
In 1881 seeking a location in which to establish a business, he selected LeMars, a town enjoyi8ng a healthy boom at that time, and concluded to locate here and made arrangements to buy out the drug firm of Vogt. Bros. and in March, 1882, permanently settled here. He bought the building now occupied by the Boyce store and was engaged in business with the late Frank Miller for a time under the firm name of Sartori Miller Company. Later the firm was Sartori and Pfeiffer. Mr. Sartori, a little later, bought out his partner, H. J. Pfeiffer, and conducted the business alone for many years until his son grew up and ----(text unreadable)---as the Sartori Drug Company. In 1889 the business was moved to its present location.
Mr. Sartori took an active interest in the business up to the time of his last illness. Although during the past two or three years he had allowed himself more freedom from the store than in former years, when he devoted himself to work often at nights as well as days.
Mr. Sartori was united in marriage on April 13, 1882, with Miss Kate E. Mullarky, at Cedar Falls, a member of one of the pioneer families of Blackhawk county, her father having been one of the first settlers in that county.
Mr. Sartori is survived by his wife, one son and three daughters, who are: Anton J. Sartori; Mrs. F. W. Lennon, of Sioux City; Mrs. I. I. Struble, of Minneapolis; and Miss Rosemary Sartori, of Los Angeles, Cal., who is home at present. He also leaves a sister, Miss Louise Sartori, of Cedar Rapids.
Mr. Sartori was actively interested in the growth and development of LeMars and the surrounding territory, during his long and busy career as druggist and bookseller, and enjoyed a wide acquaintance. He was a progressive citizen and a factor in the early days in community affairs which materially helped the betterment of conditions, and saw LeMars grow from a hamlet to a thriving little city, one of the best known in Northwestern Iowa.
Mr. Sartori was a man of wide attainments. It was a pleasure to know him and converse with him on various subjects. He had the benefit of experience well used and possessed a broad outlook on life. In his death the community loses a good, upright citizen and his family a devoted husband and father. Many friends deplore his passing.
The funeral was held yesterday morning at St. James church, Rev. E. O’Farrell officiating and was largely attended by friends and old neighbors.
Mr. Sartori was a charter member of Trinity Council, Knights of Columbus and also a member of LeMars Lodge No. 428, Order of Elks and representatives of these organizations attended the funeral in a body.
The children and their families were in attendance at the funeral and among old friends and relatives who came to attend the funeral were: Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Lynch; Miss Marian O’Connell; Mr. and Mrs. J. F. Albright; Mrs. D. Sullivan; Gene Duggan; J. Duggan; Charles Lennon, Sioux City; Mrs. P. A. Boland, St. Mary’s, Kansas; W.C. Nuhn, Cedar Falls; Roman Wangler, Waterloo; Andrew Morrill, Minneapolis; Mr. and Mrs. E. B. Scannell, Omaha; Mrs. Charles Lennon, Sioux City; Mr. and Mrs. Albert Sauer, Sioux City.
WIND OVERTURNED CAR
Bridal Party Injured in Automobile Accident
Quartette All Sustain Injuries
Bride of Two Days Was Pinned Under Machine When Toppled Over On Grade Near Hinton. Girl Friend Has Arm Broken
A party of four young people from LeMars, were victims of an automobile accident in which all of the four suffered more or less serious injuries on Saturday afternoon.
The accident occurred near Hinton as the party was returning home from a visit to Sioux City. A very high wind prevailed on Saturday and the members of the party ascribe that as the cause of the accident. They were driving around a corner on a high grade when the force of the wind caused the car to topple over.
In the party were Mr. and Mrs. Charles H.F. Harms, Miss Marquette Harms and Alfred Bowers. Mrs. Harms was caught and pinned underneath the car. The other three were thrown clear of the automobile. Mrs. Harms was quickly rescued from her predicament by the men. She was badly cut about the head and severely bruised. Mr. Harms was also badly cut and bruised. Miss Marquette Harms suffered a broken arm and Mr. Bowers sustained injuries to his leg. The party was conveyed by some good Samaritans to town and assistance rendered and then to the home of Mrs. Harms parents, Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Smith, on Front street.
Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Harms were married last Thursday and were contemplating a trip to Wisconsin by automobile to visit relatives on their honeymoon. The accident will defer their trip for a week or two.
MALADY BAFFLES PHYSICIANS
Three Year Old Boy Dies After Short Illness
Remsen Bell: The Math Koob family was thrown into sorrow early last Sunday morning by the sudden death of Raymond, the youngest child, which marked the end of a two-day illness. The child was taken ill suddenly last Friday afternoon and passed away at 3 o’clock Sunday morning. The little boy was but three years old and the youngest of four children.
The first indication of the child’s illness came Friday afternoon, when Mrs. Koob noticed a discoloring of the skin below the knees, and in spite of the best medical advice and assistance this condition spread rapidly from hour to hour, finally enveloping the greater portion of the boy’s entire body, the affected portions turning to a deep dark color. Physicians were baffled by the peculiar disease, but know the condition to be the result of leaking blood vessels, the hemorrhage taking place beneath the skin. The cause of the malady seems to remain unknown to the several physicians who were called to the case.
Raymond Joseph Koob was born in Remsen on February 19, 1919, and was therefore nearly three years of age. Besides his parents, he is survived by two brothers and one sister: Cyril, 17; Laurenca, 11; and Fidelis, 6 years of age.
The funeral was held Tuesday morning at 9 o’clock, with services in St. Mary’s Catholic church, and burial in St. Mary’s cemetery. The entire community extends deepest sympathy with the bereaved family over their sudden and heart breaking loss.

DEATH OF MRS. R. H. KAIN
Was Wife of Former Mayor and County Treasurer
Mrs. Joan Kain, wife of R. H. Kain, died at her home, 1011 Hill avenue in Sioux City on Friday from heart trouble induced by a complication of diseases. Her death was sudden and came as a great shock to her husband and friends.
She was under the care of a nurse and on Friday was apparently feeling somewhat better and told the nurse to go out for awhile. The nurse was only absent a few minutes and on her return found Mrs. Kain was dying.
Mrs. Kain was the wife of R. H. Kain, who was formerly mayor of LeMars for three terms and was county treasurer here for ten years. They went to Sioux City five years ago to make their home, when Mr. Kain engaged in the real estate business at that place.
Mrs. Kain was about 48 years of age. Her maiden name was Danehy and she was a member of a well known Clinton county family. She was married to R. H. Kain in 1899, shortly after his first election as mayor of LeMars.
She had a large number of friends in LeMars and vicinity and was very popular in many circles and active in church and social work.
The funeral was held yesterday morning at St. Joseph church in Sioux City, Rev. A. E. Zimmerman officiating.
The remains were brought to LeMars on the noon train where the funeral cortege was met by a large number of LeMars friends who escorted the body to the grave side in St. Joseph cemetery, Rev. Father O’Farrell conducting the brief service.

FIRE TWICE IN SAME PLACE
Barn and Garage are Consumed By Flames
A fire alarm was turned in on Saturday evening at twenty minutes to seven
and the fire company made a run to Hubbard street. Fire in the garage on
the premises of C. B. Elsen, 1012 Hubbard street, occasioned the alarm. An
oil stove in the garage had set fire to the siding on the walls. The
incipient flames were squelched by Reuben Deviney and other neighbors and
the services of the fire company were not required.
At eleven twenty the same evening, the fire alarm was again sounded and when
the fire department responded to the call, the garage at the Elsen place was
a mass of seething flames. The fire spread to the S. W. Hale, 505 Third
street, premises in the alley adjoining and consumed a small frame barn. In
the Elsen garage was an old flivver which had seen several years of service.
The loss on the Hall barn was about $250 and the loss on the Elsen garage
about $300. There was no insurance. The firemen reported that the water
pressure was good. The fired in the Elsen garage had evidently got a good
start before the flames were noticed and an alarm turned in to police
headquarters.
