VOLUME 5. NUMBER 22 THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEE BEMIDJI, MINNESOTA, TUESDAY EVENING, MAY 14, 1907. ., TEN CENTS PEE WEEK. REMAINS OF MRS. GOULD BURIED ‘AT FAIR HAVEN Large Concourse of Friends Attend Funeral of Mrs. W. A, Gould at Fair Haven Sunday---Rev. Broomfield- Delivers In the Fair Haven village ceme- tery, amid the scenes of early childhood, the sweet carols of birds and on a day made beauti- ful by the sweet kiss of summer sunshine, loving hands laid gently to rest all that was mortal of Mrs. W. A. Gould. The funeral was held at the Baptist church, in Fair Haven at 2 p. m. Sunday, the 12th. Mr, Gould received the sad news of his wife's death at Waterloo, Iowa, but proceeded to St. Louis where he met the body accompanied by Mrs. Grinols, his wife’s mother. = He thus saved a day, arriving at Fair Haven Saturday noon. The services which were con- ductedby Rev. Broomfield, pastor of the First Baptist church of Bemidji, were simple, but im- pr ve, the text being taken from the first verse of the fifth chapterof tirst Corinthians: “For we know thatif our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, a house not made with hands, eternal in heaven.” This text made a fitting setting for the beautiful life of Mrs. Gould, which was characterized by 1its simplicity, charity, effectiveness and loving kindness. Bornand reared 1n an atmosphere with but little temptation, she pos sessed to a marked degree a sweet nature, a kind disposition, | and the ability to influence and lead others that made her a power for good wherever she went. But| earth is not all of life. The good liev on through eternity. The floral offerings were many and heautifal. Thomas Shesiin of Minneapolis sent a beautiful wreath. Messrs, Eddy, Lane and Rahn of] Minneapolis sent a basket of lilies. The employes of the Crookston mill at Bemidji sent a box of beautiful roses. The Masonic lodge at Bemidji sent a squareand compass. The Bemidji Sunday School sent car- nations. Mrs. Shepardson of Minneapolis, Mr. and Mrs. W, H. Vye of Bemidji, and many others whose names are not known,sent loving remembrances. The coffin and altar were cov- ered with flowers sent by kind | friends, whose name. are legton, of both Mr. and Mrs. Gould. The church was filled to its capacity and many were seated on chairs on the outside. In ad- Sermon. fdit.ion to the friends from the vil- lage the following from out of town were present: From Minneapolis, Mrs. Shep- ardson, Mr. and Mrs, Eddy, Mr. A. A.D. Rahn, Mr, Law, Mr. |Grinols, Mr. Goodrich, J, A. ;Vye. From Bemidji, J. M. Richards, E. R. Ryan, Rev. Broomfield, Miss Benner, Mr. and Mrs. W, H. Vye. From St. Cloud, - Mr. and Mrs. C. D. Grinols, Miss Grinols, Mr. Grinols, Miss Elliott. From Osakis, Mrs. Gilkinson. Elsie Jessamine Gould, nee Grinols, was born at Fair Haven, Oct. 4, 1865. She was baptized, and became a member of the Baptist church in Fair Haven, when about 13 years of age. She was united in marriage with Walter A. Gould, April 7, 1891, They went to reside in Minne- apolis, where she became a mem- ber of the Olivet Baptist church, of which she was a member until she became a member of the Baptist church of Bemidji, dur- ing the year 1903. Since that time she has been an active, con- sistent memker, taking a deep interest in all branches of church work. Especially was she in- terested in the Sunday school, of which she was the faithful superintendent daring the past two years.: It was a great pleasure that while under her superintendence the Sunday school secured the State Banner for the second year in succession. With the aid of her husband, she assisted very materially in the enlargement of the church building, by adding a parlor and tower, three years ago. Since then the Sunday school has in- increased so much that the child- ren were in need of more room, and before she left for Hot Springs, Arkansas,she was help- ing to devise ways and means, for the still further enlargement of the same. She departed this life, to be with Christ at 9:40 a. m. the 8th day of May 1907. - -Age 41 years 6 months and 4 days. Not lost, but gone before; leaving to fol- low, a father and a mother; hus- band and two children, and two brothers. An irreparable loss | must be sustained,by the church {and city, as well as the loved i ones, who have the sympathy of the whole community.

The Miles cafe and theatre is rapidly coming. to the finishing touches and it is expected that | the date of opening will bean- nounced within a few days. The Miles hotel; which was closed last fall, was said to have been one of the prettiest public houses 1n the northwest, but from the day of the closing the place has been undergoing a complete change and will come to the fin- ish in a condition that will leave the old Miles hotel asa mere rail- road eating house in comparison. An addition 50 by 125 feet has been made to the rear of the building, which makes the di- mension 100 by 125 feet, and the| whole interior has been altered. In arranging for the theatre, cafe and bar room, which occupy the greater portion of the ground floor, material of the most elab- orate and costly has been used. Ths theatre in its finishings will hold up to anything in the Twin . Cities, and the whole house has been renovated along the same magnificent lines. It 18 possible ;| that the opening date will be an. nounced next week, but Messrs. Miles & Markbham do not want to make any announcements or give any promises until they are absolutely sure.—Messaba Ore. Notice for Settlement of Account.
