MRS. CHAS E. BARKL IS DEAD
Funeral in Sac City Presbyterian Church Friday
Death Due to Septic Complications Following a Severe Operation at Rochester, Minn.The funeral of Mrs. Fannie Stearns Barkl, wife of Charles E. Barkl of Warner, SD, will be held in the Sac City Presbyterian Church at 2:30 Friday afternoon with Rev. A.E. Wardner officiating with burial in the Oakland Cemetery in Sac City.
Mrs. Barkl died in a hospital at Rochester, Minn. of peritonitis following an operation for fibroid tumor, performed by Dr. Charles Mayo. It was an operation of unusual severity owing to complications involving other organs. For the first four days following, the outlook for recovery looked hopeful, the patient's husband returning to his banking business in South Dakota, her mother remianing with her. On the fifth day the patient's tempaturearose and her husband was summoned back to Rochester. She lived for six days afterward, hope and fear of friends alternating. Two hours before her death, which occured at 10:35 p.m. Tuesday, March 11, Mr. Barkl left the hospital feeling assured she would recover.
Mr. Barlk and Mrs. E.C. Stearns accompanied by Mrs. Barkl's sister, Mabel, wife of J.A. Churchill of Huron, SD and son William, arrived in Sac City today bringing the body of their loved one for burial. Two other sisters, Grace, wife of A.B. Kellogg of Rapid City, SD and Mildred, wife of G.R. Waldschmidt of Casper, Wyoming, along with a brother, Fred D. Stearns and wife, also of Casper are expected to arrive this evening to attend the funeral tomorrow. One other brother, Chas. O. Stearns, residing in Forestville, California, will not be present at the funeral.
Ronald Barkl, the only son of Mr. and Mrs. Barkl, who is in his 18th years, has been taking treatments at Rochester for Bright's Disease and it is believed unwise to have him come for the funeral.
Mrs. Barkl was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Elmore S. Stearns. She was born September 17,1884 at Hetland, SD. In April 1896 she came with her parents to Sac City and attended Sac City Schools, graduating in 1900. She married Charles E. Barkl at Sac City on September 21,1904. In 1907 they moved to Carthage, SD and thence after a few years to Aberdeen, SD. On the death of Mr. Stearns at Warner, SD, in 1913, the Barkls moved to Warner, which since has been their home.
Mrs. Barkl was a member of the Presbyterian Church in Sac City and retained her membership at this place. She was also a member of the Order of the Eastern Star. As a school girl she was a favorite among those who knew her. As a woman the charming qualities of girlhood matured, and all who have known her appreciate the great loss sustained by the husband and son and other relatives.March 11,1926, Sac Sun, Sac City, Iowa
DEATH CUTS SHORT BRILLIANT CAREER
RONALD BARKL, TALENTED VIOLINIST, IN 21st YEAR
BURIED IN SAC CITYRonald Oakley Barkl, brilliant young violinist and only son of Chas. E. Barkl of Warner, SD, died at Vermillion, SD last Sunday, February 28,1926 in his 21st year of life. Ronald had been in poor health for the past three years. While finishing his high school education in Aberdeen he had an attack of influenza, which while apparently in light form, affected his kidneys and resulted in imparting the disease from which he never recovered. He became gradually weaker and he succumbed to it while at the State University.
Relatives and his father brought the body back to Sac City for burial. The funeral service was held in the First Presbyterian Church in Sac City at 2 o'clock Wednesday afternoon.
Ronald was a personal friend of Mischa Elman and other world famous violinist who considered him an artist of extraordinary promise.
He was born in Sac City on August 28,1905, removing with his parents to South Dakota while still an infant. At the age of six he began the study of music. His studies three summers in Chicago were followed by a year with Professor Otokar Seveik of Prague, master teacher at Ithica Conservatory. He became Seveik's favorite American pupil. The teacher induced Mr. and Mrs. Barkl to arrange a concert for him in 1920 and 1921, and his violin playing won him fame through the East as one of the coming masters of music.
A recital which Ronald gave in Sac City in August 1924, while on his way to New York City, will ever be remembered by Sac City music lovers. Ronald spent the year 1925 in study and in travel through the New England states and returned to South Dakota last Fall.
