OBITUARY
     In this village, on Friday morning August 7th, after 
a lingering illness, Frederick Neiland, age 34 years.
     The deceased had resided in the county nearly all his 
life and had a fine farm west of this village.  About six years 
ago he was taken down with infalmatory rhuematism and confined 
to the house.  After doctoring for two or three years without 
relief, he was advised to remove to St. Peter, where he could 
be treated by Dr. Daniels, and following that advice he removed 
there nearly three years ago.  At times he felt some improvement, 
but was never able at any time to move around much without 
assistance.  Last May he was attacked by a paraletic stroke, 
which rendered him helpless and left him speechless.  The 
doctors then gave up all hopes of his recovery and his family 
had him removed to this village last month.  During his long 
illness he was a great sufferer, which he bore with christian 
fortitude and without a murmer of complaint.  His wife was his 
constant companion during all his suffering and no more loving 
and tender care was ever bestowed upon a sick husband than was 
bestowed in this case.  Mr. Nieland was a generous and 
enterprising citizen -- a kind and true friend, and as such he 
will be missed in this community where he had spent all his 
life.  As a husband and father he was loving and tender and was 
the sunshine of his home.  The sorrow stricken family, consisting 
of a widow and two small children, have the sympathy of the 
entire community in their sad bereavement.  The funeral was held 
at the Lutheran cemetery in this village last Sunday morning, and 
was very largely attended.
