Notes:

Ries

The grim Harvester has been plying his sickle among the old pioneers of this district and cut down three of them inside of about a week. The first of the three was Mrs. Ries, relict of the late Eckhart Ries, who died at her home about a mile and a half east of Elmira on Sunday, August 21^st. She was born in Germany and came to this country in her younger days. She had lived on the old homestead we suppose for about 40 years, and by hard work and strict economy helped to change the place from a rough bush farm to one of the most productive and best kept homesteads in this part of the country. Deceased leaves two sons and four daughters all married and comfortably situated; two sons and two daughters preceded her to the better world. She reached the age of 73 years and 20 days.
