On Thursday morning Dec. 28, 1911, Miss Freda Furness took the early morning train for Seattle Washington where she met and on the following Sunday, was married to Mr. ??acy Mainard a railroad man of that place. Mrs. Mainard is the daughter of our worthy townspeople, Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Furness and for a number of years was a prominent school teacher here and in this vicinity. Of Mr. Mainard we know but little, but will say if she did as well as he did she could have done no better.

OLSON- FAGER.
A very pretty wedding occur[r]ed at the August Fager home yesterday at 2 o'clock, p.m., when Miss Emma, his sister, was married to Mr. Arthur Olson. These young people were practically raised in this part and any comment, from us, on the exceptionally good standing of them, in this community, would add nothing to what they have already attained. There were about seventy-five invited guests present, a bountiful table was spread, laden with the fat of the land to which they all did ample justice. The words which made them husband and wife were pronounced by The Rev. J. A. Martin [M]ethodist minister, of Wausa. They will go to housekeeping on the farm recently vacated by Eric Lund. We extend congratulations.m. February 28, 1912A fire at the Jim Jackson home ...

DEATH OF LITTLE MILDRED Mildred Dawson, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. R. H. Dawson, departed this life at the home of her grand-parents, Mr. and Mrs. L. Dawson, of Magnet, March 13th. 1912, she was born near Wausa in 1902 and at the time of her death was 9 years 11 months and 15 days old. Little Mildred was a sweet little girl and was loved and respected by all her little school mates, she was a favorite among those who knew her, but the cold hand of death which has passed over her has cast a gloom over the pleasant home and surroundings which she left for a better one in the great beyond. The bereft once have the entire sympathy of this community.
Funeral services were held at the Methodist church conducted by the pastor Martin, after which the little remains were tender[l]y carried out to the cemetery where amid a large circle of friends, she was lowered to her last resting place.
She was stricken with that dread disease, Pneumonia, which was contracted the latter part of February and for four weeks her friends, the best medical skill in this part and a trained nurse did all for her that was possible for human to do but it was to no avail, no relief came to her until the great master called her to rest "Safe in The Arms of Jesus."
The out of town friends who attended her in her last illness and were in attendance at the funeral were; Mr. and Mrs. H. T. Crellin and their two sons Artie and Earl and Miss Laura of Pender, Mr. and Mrs. John Hirschman, of Belden, Mr. and Mrs. Clyde Fox, F. W. Fox and daughter Miss Myrtle, of Randolph, Harry Crellin of Lyons and John Seyle, of Belden.CARD OF THANKS We wish to take this method of thanking our many kind friends for their kind words of comfort and the interest you manifested in our welfare during the last illness, death and burial of dear little Mildred. To you all we say please accept our gratitude. Very truly,Mr. and Mrs. R. H. Dawson b. ~March 28, 1902d. March 13, 1912Chas Magnuson accompanied a car of fat hogs to Sioux City Friday.

O. Whited, of Minneapolis, Minn. where with his family he was living until he was called away. About eight years ago he was married to Mrs. Vina Miller, who with three little girls he leaves to mourn the loss of a husband and father. The body was met at the depot by the local I. O. O.
