into a productive farm and a beautiful home.  Mr. Boland is a man of powerful

trials like a man.  He conducted his farm until a few years ago he was
stricken with a complication of diseases, which neccessitated his retiring
from active work, last fall he and his wife moved to this city where they
could spend their declining years in ease and comfort.  Mr. Boland had several
spells of heart trouble and this malady finally caused his death.

Besides his sorrowing widow he leaves eight children, namely; Patrick, Andrew M.,
John and James of Glencoe, Wis.  Miss Margaret, of St. Paul, Mrs. James Hennesy,
of St. Charles, Mrs. Jos. Manning, of Dilworth, Minn., and Mrs. Philip Baecker,

To the bereaved relatives we extend our profound sympathy.  May the deceased
rest in peace.
