Death Of Mrs.
Hugh Egan
Death a Shock to Her Relatives
and Friend*—Business Sus
pended During the Funeral
Ceremony.
It is the painful duty of this
paper this week to chronicle the
death of Mrs. Hugh Egan, which
took place early last Monday
morning, the news of which
came as a shock and surprise to
her relatives and friends. Death
resulted from blood poisoning,
caused by an affection of the
throat, after an illntfss of only a
few days. While always frail,
Mrs. Egan seemed to be much
better this spring than ever be
fore and it was hoped and con
fidently expected that she was on
the way to complete health.
I Miss Kathryn Carroll came to
Beach some five years age from
Sparta, Wis., and on September
19, 1911, was married to Hugh
Egan. Had she lived until Sat
urday, June 6th-, she would have
been 21 years of age. Since her
marriage she has been active in
the affairs of the Beach State
Bank and at the time of death
was vice president of that insti
tution. She was also active in
thp social life of the young peo
pie of our little city and
and was a member of the Royal
Neighbors and Social Hour club,
besides the Ladies' Altar Society
of the St. Johns Catholic church,
where she was a devout mem
ber. She had a capacity for en
ikying life seldom found in the
present hurrah of the commercial
world, and was surrounded by
everything that makes one care
to live. Yet, in the midst of life
there is deah and the pleasure
of those on whom the Grim
Reaper waits is not sought.
The funeral was held from the
St. Johns Catholic church on1
Wednesday forenoon and the
(eprthly
remains of Mrs. Hugh
Lgan was placed in its final rest
ing place midst the gentle fall
ing of a spring rain.
It was the pleasure of Father
Wolphers to have officiated at
the wedding ceremony of the de
ceased, and it was also his solemn
duty to preach her funeral ser-,
mon. He spoke very effectively
upon the lesson to be drawn from
the early departure of the de-1
ceased, emphasizing the fact that'
no one knoweth the day or the
Viour when the final summons
will come and the commercial
activities of this life will be left
behind. He paid a glowing tri
bute to the life and character of
the departed and spoke words of
sympathy and comfort to those
who were left to mourn
The remains were escorted by
the Knights of Columbus, the
Ladies' Salodity society of which
•she was a member and one of
the largest gatherings of citizens
ever assembled at a funeral cere
mony in this city. The active
pall bearers were Julius Engle
ty~»t. L. E. Austin, Adam Ferris,
^A. L. Arnold, M. H. Jefferson
and M. F. Jones, while Mrs. T.
Powers, Misses 'Mary Kerrigan,
Vangie Butterfield, Eilleen Madi
son, Ruth Laughnan and Mary
Bartley officiated as honorary
pall bearers from the Ladies
Salodity Society, of which de
ceased was a member.
The casket was literally bank
ed with the many beautiful floral
o'^erings which were contributed
by the different clubs and societ
ies. among which were "The
Gates Ajar," in which a white
dove, portraying peace, was rep
resented, a calli lilly cross, harper
end other beautiful pieces were
n^ted.
Among those from out of town
who were present at the funeral
were Mrs. Mary Crcssman, Mrs.
Hugh Crossman and Miss Mamie
Grossman, of Sparta, Wis., aunt
and cousins of the deceased and
cnly surviving relatives outside
of the immediate family.
Her death comes a£ an es
pecially heavy affliction to the
bereaved husband. No children
resulted from the union and the
vacant chair in this case means
a deeper more profound desola
tion and breaking of the ties of
the former life than is usually the
case. Sincerely devoted to the
young wife with whom he was
sharing life's joys and sorrows,
the brevety of the happy condi
tion makes the burden the more
Revere to him who is left to
1
mourn, and the sincere sympathy
of the community is extended to
him in this his dark hour of be
reavement and personal trial.
As a mark of respect the busi
ness houses of the city were clos
ed during the hours of the fun
eral ceremony.
Held Very
Good Meeting
Various Methods of Game Pro-
tection Were Taken

Although the conditions were
unfavorable to a large gathering
the meeting held here last eve
ning of the Game and Fish
Board of Control, was well at
tended.
President J. P. Reeve stated
that the object of holding these
meetings over the state was to
gather the ideas of the sports
men in regard to' the protection
and propagation of the game of
the state and to take the gun
men into partnership with them
in the enforcement of laws. He
went over the subject quite
thoroughly, two features of
which" called Tut 'considerable!
discussion, namely t/? raising of!
gunner's license was to remain in'
the county in which the' licence
was issued and was to be used
for the purchase of grounds as!
out a license and in this way as
sist in the maintenance of the fish
hatcheries and the planting of
fish over the state, was taken up
and very favorably considered.
At the present time all the ex
pense of this branch of the serv
ice is paid from the gunner's
license fee, and is decidedly un-1
fair.
The matter of having the open
season on chickens stajrt on Sep-!
tember 1 rather than on Septem
ber 7th as now, was also consid
ered favorably. Also having an
open season in which beaver:
could be taken.
The discussion was general
and entered into quite freely-1
Colonel Brewer, secretary of the:
board, gave a talk which contain
ed much valuable information,
and W. F. Lebo, chief game war
den of this district also made re
marks, urging the co-operation of
the sportsmen with the board in
law enforcement.
President Reeve stated that
the gun clubs over the state were
joining hands with them in a
manner which meant elimination
of the sooner" and the "game
,hog."

Mr. Wicka says that the fir !d
which has given him the most:
trouble was a lot of ground
which he pastured during the
year 1912 and summer fallowed
and faithfully tilled during the
year 1913. This ground was'
sown to wheat and after it had
grown to a height of three or
four inches, it began to die
Close investigation failed to re

discovered a small, white worm,
