Denison Review - Aug. 11, 1909A Painful Accident
An Old Soldier Falls On a Stick Which Penetrated His Body Seventeen Inches
S. W. Marcum, an old soldier and resident of Deloit, who moved to Aitkin county, Minn. a few years ago, came suddenly to his death at his home at Glen, Minn. On July 31, 10:30 a.m. he and his wife were picking cherries a quarter of a mile from their house when he accidentally fell from the tree on a green snag about 30 inches long and about the size of a broom handle. This ran seventeen inches into his abdomen then broke off. His wife extracted the snag and helped him to the house. He was taken sixteen miles to Aitken in a buggy, requiring seven hours to make the trip. Arriving at 6 p.m. it was found the snag did not injure the intestines or liver, but penetrated the thin lining of the right lung which caused hemorrhage of the lungs and he died at 9 p.m. the same evening. The G.A.R. had charge of the funeral and burial which took place at Aitkin, August 3rd at 10 a.m. and the remains were interred in the G. A. R. cemetery.
The family states the G. A. R. Post had complete charge and gave him a fine burial for which they felt very grateful. Their eldest son, A. P. Marcum, who went with them to Minnesota was instrumental in securing the Glen post office of which he was the postmaster. The family have the sympathy of all their old friends at this place.

Denison Review Sept. 1, 1909 - Kiron
Death made a call in Old Kiron Sunday forenoon and the home of S. M. Moline is now in mourning. Mrs. Moline, after an illness of some two weeks, breathed her last shortly after ten o'clock at the age of 54 years, 5 months and 7 days. Three doctors, an efficient nurse and near ones did all that was possible for her restoration but the Divine ruler had planned otherwise. She was married to the now mourning husband in Sweden, December 23, 1876 and together with him and family, immigrated to American and located in Kiron, having resided her since.
This union was blessed with nine children of who two are dead, the other seven residing in this vicinity and it was her privilege to have them at her bedside during the last hours of her stay on earth. She so lived with her husband and her children that her going away has caused sorrow and a most vacant place in the home. When the time drew nigh and it became certain that she would not get well, she was satisfied to go as she had made peace with her Savior. Funeral Services will be held from the Baptist church, Tuesday afternoon and her remains will be laid at rest in the Kiron cemetery. The sympathy of the community goes out to the bereaved ones.

McAhren, Oren C. (1901 )
Denison Review - October 11, 1901Oren is dead. Oren the happy hearted. Oren the friend of all. Oren is dead. For more than a week Denison has watched at his bedside hoping against its fears, hailing with delight every favorable symptom and grieving with profound and sincere grief when latterly the word came from the Carroll hospital that life was gradually slipping away and that hope was gone. We do not know when our community has been so deeply moved or a case where so many among both the high and the lowly have felt such sense of personal loss. There is none to much cheerfulness and light heartedness in the world and when there comes to any community one whose fund of good nature is simply overflowing, who has a kind word and a glad hand for all, whose laughter is infectious, the hearts of the people grapple to him with hooks of steel.
Such a boy was Oren. Generous to a fault, kind-hearted to all, gentlemanly and courteous to the poorest as to the wealthiest, it is no wonder that his friends were as numerous as the in habitants of Denison and as those who knew him. We feel that an element of cheerfulness and happiness has been taken from us that can never be replaced. It is the happy province of some to carry light and sunshine with them, to brighten somber lives, to make men better by making them happier, others may give good advice, others may counsel, others may lead in the grave affairs of life, but we dearly love the one who sheds sunlight along the path.
Oren was one of the sunshiny kind. Where the young folks gathered for gaiety and light-heartedness, Oren was the gayest of the throng. At all public events his was the laughing spirit that led the fun, and it was always kindly, good-natured fun that left no sting. Oren was a bright, energetic young man, he was probably the best salesman ever in Denison and it is a splendid commentary upon his life that those who knew him best and those who had the most intimate relations with him were ever his best friends.
The relations between him and Mr. Kemming, for instance, did not partake so much of a business arrangement as they did of the nature of two brothers and bosom friends. Mr. Kemming clams a large share of our sympathy, for he loved Oren like a brother, was always kindness personified in his dealings with him and during his last illness he has let business go to the winds to be at his bedside and to show in very possible way how deep his affection was for the young man who had been connected with him for so many years.
Oren had a bright future before him, he was surrounded by a loving family and constant friends; one of Denison's move lovable and capable young ladies was his promised bride, and his won capabilities insured him constant and remunerative employment. It is hard to die at thirty when success is half won, when one appreciates with the fullness of manhood the many joys and possibilities of life and when one is surrounded on every side by loving hearts.
The cause of Oren's death was appendicitis of long standing. It was not until recently, however, that the nature of the disease was recognized and last Sunday he was taken to the hospital where an operation was performed by Dr. Wright of that place. The surgeon reported that his constitution was in splendid shape for the trying ordeal. On Monday and Tuesday the reports were of a most encouraging nature but on Wednesday he seemed to grow worse and on Thursday it was felt that the end was near. All day long where two or three people could be seen together, one was certain they were talking of Oren's chance for recovery and last night our city was singularly quiet and grave as each one felt that before another day he would have passed away.
The news came this morning that Oren had died at 6:15 o'clock. Today a special meeting of the Knights of Pythias was called and that order together with a large number of friends assembled at the North Western station when the body was brought home. Our grief for the stricken loved ones is boundless and sincere. Oren was pride of the home and his bright and affectionate disposition never showed to better advantage than when he was in the home circle. It is a sad blow to them and our people all sympathize with them deeply.
Oren was born in this county and was twenty-nine years of age. All his life he was a hard worker, faithful to every duty or trust imposed upon him and he had the unbounded confidence both of his employees and those who dealt with him. His brother, Willard, was the only one of the family not with him at Carroll and he has been telegraphed for and he expected to reach the city tonight.
The funeral services will be held on Sunday afternoon at the First Methodist Church at 2:30 o'clock, Rev. E. M. Holmes officiating. As we say goodbye to Oren we cannot do it without tears in our eyes and sorrow in our hearts. He was our friend as he was the friend of every one in the entire community. He was loving, generous, kind hearted and true and our prayers and our affection follow him into the great unknown with the hope that the Infinite Master may deal as kindly and as compassionately with him as he ever dealt with his fellow men.
McBride, Gale (1901 )
Denison Review - April 22, 1901Gale McBride, the four year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. McBride, living in the southwest part of Washington Township, was accidentally hung while at play last Friday noon. The little one was playing on a small stack of straw near the barn. She had a muffler about her neck. While playing she slipped and the muffler caught on a shingle nail on the side of the barn and before help came the little life was extinct from strangulation. It was the mother who found her child. Her heart still fluttered and the mother bore her in her arms to the house, medical aid was sent for and immediate measures taken to restore life but all without avail.
Gale was one of the brightest and sweetest of children, she was a favorite with all who knew her. It was said that she never met a stranger. To her innocent and affectionate heart all were her friends. Thus it was that all the people of Defiance and vicinity have mourned her untimely and fearful death with a sense of personal loss and bereavement; thus it was that the funeral held at Defiance last Sunday was the largest ever held in that little city. Little Gale had been playing about the straw stack during the morning and at dinner time her father went into dinner, whereupon Mrs. McBride asked where the daughter was. Mr. McBride said she was out by the barn and had seen him come in and would doubtless come to dinner in a few minutes. Something must have told the mother-heart that her child was in danger for she was not satisfied until she went to get her little one herself and when she reached the barn, the awful sight of her baby hanging with life almost extinct met her eyes.
Mr. J. F. McBride is the brother of William McBride, the well-known citizen living just west of Denison. He and his wife went to Defiance at once to attend the funeral and to comfort the sorrowing ones.
The funeral services were held at Defiance on Sunday, the pastors of the Methodist and Christian churches officiating. One touching incident of the funeral occurred before reaching the church when the coffin was taken from the hearse to the home of the grandmother who was bedridden and who wished once more to look upon the face of the little child who had shed so much brightness upon her grandmother's declining days.

Nicholson, J. L. (1800 )
The Denison Review, Tuesday, May 30, 1899, page 5, column 3Mr J L Nicholson, father of the Nicholson Bros, who are so well known throughout this county, died at the home of his son B Y Nicholson, on Sunday morning, May 28th, 1899. Mr Nicholson was over eighty years of age and was a native of Ohio. He has lived in New Sharon, Iowa, for many years and it is there that his family of sons was raised to splendid manhood. Last fall he came to visit his sons in Denison and his failing health forbade his taking the home journey again in life.
Personally we did not know Mr Nicholson, but we know from the character of his children that he was a grand and noble man. We can imagine no more blessed old age than was his. Surrounded on every hand by love and kindness; seeing his sons successful and prosperous and much esteemed. Undeprived even in his old age of his wife's loving presence. We repeat that we can imagine no existence crowned with richer blessings. His loving wife and devoted sons will miss him sadly but will have the consciousness that they contributed continually to his joy in life and robbed death of its sting. The remains were taken to New Sharon for burial on Monday morning and we regret that the absence of the members of his family prevents us from giving more of the data of his well spent and successful life.

Gus Nordine of Near Deloit, Ends His Life by Hanging
Act Committed Monday morning
Despondent for some time
Leaves Wife and Three Children
Funeral Held Today and Burial Takes Place at Deloit.
Monday morning Mr. Gus Nordine, who lives just north of here on what is known a the Allbright farm took his life by hanging himself from a rafter in the barn. The body was found by his wife some time after the deed was committed.
Mr. Nordine arose as usual in the morning and did his chores and after finishing his work returned to the house and went back to bed again. He arose for breakfast and at the breakfast table told his wife he was going to drive to Mr. Sjogrens and try and make arrangements to rent his farm for next year, the farm on which they were living having been rented Mr. Erickson. He left the house and went to the barn to hitch up a team and his wife supposed that he had left for the Sjogren place.
Some time later she had occasion to go to the barn and was horrified to find the lifeless body of her husband suspended from a rafter with a rope. The rope was tied around his neck and to a rafter only a few feet higher than the floor and when found his feet were resting on the floor and seemingly he had thrown himself backward and strangled to death. Mrs. Nordine gave the alarm at once and neighbors arrived on the scene and carried the lifeless body of Mr. Nordine to the house.
He had been very despondent for some time and the fact that he was having some trouble to rent a farm for next year caused him to worry to some extent. It is intimated here that domestic trouble may have had something to do with the crime. A wife and three children are left. The funeral services will be held on Wednesday, burial taking place in the local cemetery.

He often came to town to do his trading. He had, however, the unfortunate habit of occasionally drinking too much. Last Saturday he was in town and in the evening he was found in what seemed to be a drunken stupor, in the alley behind the First National Bank building.
About ten p.m. he had died. Mr. Clough, the coroner ordered an autopsy. Drs. Folsom and Boyle made a thorough examination and found the right chamber of the heart filled with blood, showing that he died of heart failure. The coroner's jury was A. C. Weeks, Thos. D. Miler and Patrick McCarthy, who brought in a verdict in accordance with the facts and testimony. Mr. Rietz should not have been permitted to lie in the chilly night air, but should have been taken care of by the peace officers. It seems to us that on the vacant lot near the engine house a couple of rooms might be built on as headquarters, which might be kept warm so that tramps and other accidental unfortunates might be taken care of.
