Death of Albert Harper RANDOLPH TIMES: On Thursday morning, March 26th, 1914, at 1 a.m. at the home of Mrs. Rufina Harper of this city, Albert E. D. Harper, son of Albert I. and Mrs. Hattie M. Harper of this county, departed this life at he early age of 16 years, 2 months and 7 days. The news of his death was a great surprise to everybody as none knew to the last day of his life that his sickness was anything of a very serious nature. He was sick but a few days, but the disease did its deadly work giving but a few hours warning.
Albert was born in Elgin, Nebraska, on Jan. 19th, 1898. Since he was five years of age he spent his life in Belden with the exception of the past seven months which time has been spent in this city attending the high school. He was baptized in early life in the Presbyterian Church, and while in Randolph he attended the Presbyterian services quite faithfully, thus showing his deep interest in religious things.
He leaves to mourn his untimely death a devoted mother and father also four brothers to-wit: Ralph, Clyde, Robert and Frank. These with the host of other relatives and friends will remember Albert as surely one of the "Lord's Jewels" in the kingdom above.
The funeral services will be held in the Presbyterian church on Sabbath at 2 p.m. being conducted by Dr. Tait. A short service will be held at the house at 1:30 p.m. Interment will take place in the Randolph cemetery.

Magnet Wins The first game of the season was played at the home park Sunday. ... Salmon was in the points for Magnet until the fifth frame, when Hammond went in and finished the game. "Home Run" Baker, the first man at bat for the home team, dented the pill with a three base slam and the game was on. Mainquist was at the third station and performed very well. "Tinker" Dodson cavorted about the short field and got away with two chances. Baker was at second and Fenske, our amiable depot agent, took great delight in stopping at the first station. "Germany" Soost was the caretaker in the left garden and "Nobody had nothin' on him" as they say in Boston. "Tyrus" Steckelberg ran 'em down in center and lived up to his name by getting two hits and two passes in five times at bat.
... score ... 17 for Magnet and 10 for Eagle Valley. ... next Sunday, ... we play Sholes at Magnet and will have "Elder" Mitts in the line up. The team looks good at this time and will look better when Manager Vickory gets his "inside" base ball working a little better.

Mrs. Ashby Killed In Auto Wreck Near Spencer On the 16th, Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Ashby started from their home in their Ford auto to make an extended visit with their sons, daughters and other relatives who live along the Winner line from Verdel to near Anoka. They had visited all but their son, Fred, and on June 19th left for a visit with him.
When they had reached a point northwest of Spencer and about half way to Fred's home they were advised by a farmer to cross through his farm and save some distance and there the accident occurred. They were running along slowly and carefully and when crossing a new dam, that had been put in the stream to furnish water for the farmer's stock, the wheels of the auto on Mr. Ashby's side went down in the soft dirt and the car turned so swiftly that neither of the occupants were able to prevent the car from going over the grade, which was 18 or 20 feet high. The car turned completely over and landed right side up in the mud.
When the car overturned Mr. Ashby was thrown into the bottom of the car but Mrs. Ashby was more severely dealt with and was struck so hard that death was instantaneous. From here her husband carried her and summoned aid. It was almost three hours before he was able to get his son to his aid. Her body was taken to Spencer to be prepared for burial.On Saturday evening her remains arrived here and at 2 p.m. on Sunday the funeral was held at the Methodist church, conducted by the pastor, Rev. J. A. Martin. The large crowd at the church testifying to the high esteem in which she was held by all.
Interment was made in the Magnet cemetery.
