PROMINENT FARMER PASSES AWAY
In the death of Henry M. Dosdall, the community loses one of its most prominent and respected farmers and Christian gentlemen, a loving husband and father and a faithful church worker and member. He was a man of strong convictions but ever ready to go fully the half way when a difference of opinion existed. Upright in his dealings and hard working in his everyday life, his loss will be sincerely regreted by all who knew him and abiding deep sorrow to his family and relatives.
Mr. Dosdall was stricken some six years ago with diabetes and while at times he seemed to be on the road to recovery, yet the grim reaper crept ever nearer and the end came on Friday of last week, February 11. He became so ill Thursday evening that it was thought best to again take him to Stevens County Hospital and Harvard Olson came out at midnight with the ambulance. Mr. Dosdall talked on the way to the hospital and was conscious to the last, but passed away without a struggle just as they reached the hospital.
Funeral services were held at the home at 12:30 Sunday and at the high school at 1:15. Dr. D. R. Anderson, former pastor of the Congregational Church, and now located at Muscatine, Iowa, conducted the services assisted by Rev. Vanden Heuvel, pastor of the local Holland Church. Interment took place in Lakeside Cemetery, with Julius Halvorson, Anton Ettesvold, V. V. Schoenwether, Ellsworth Brown, George Messner and R. L. Stebbins acting as pallbearers.
Henry Michael Dosdall was born in Wabasha County near Zumbro Falls, and lived there until 1900 when he came to Stevens County, and settled on a farm 5 miles N.E. of town in Hodges Township where the family has lived ever since with the exception of 3 years, Mr. and Mrs. Dosdall lived in Morris. He was married February 28, 1900 to Grace Lynch at Zumbro Falls and to them four sons and one daughter were born, all of whom with his wife, survive him. The children are Henry Dosdall of Starbuck, George,Edward and Glen of Hancock and Mrs. Melford Olson (Edith) of Red LakeFalls. He is also survived by 10 grandchildren, 2 brothers and 3 sisters.
Surviving brothers and sisters are Ed Dosdall of Hancock, George Dosdall of Hager City, Wisconsin, Mrs. Albert Kurth of St. Paul, Mrs. Herman Draheim of Olivia and Mrs. Thomas Greer of Cleveland, North Dakota.
As Mr. Dosdall was placed in the ambulance he said, "There is only one place I'd rather be, Heaven," and again, ""I know I'll be all well in the morning." Truly it may be said, "He giveth his beloved sleep."
He met with several severe accidents during the time he lived here. In January, 1925 his left hand was caught in the corn sheller and the thumb had to be amputated. In October of 1936, he slipped and fell, breaking his hip and was confined to the hospital for over 9 months. Again, in June of last year, while walking with the aid of crutches, he slipped and fell, breaking his right wrist. Yet, in spite of all, his courage never failed and he kept a cheerful outlook on life.
Among those from away to attend the funeral services were Rev. and Mrs. Anderson of Muscatine, Iowa; Mr. and Mrs. Al Johnson of Wahpeton; Maynard Ettesvold of Breckenridge; Mr. and Mrs. Leo Sylvester of Glenwood; Mr.and Mrs. Leo Snippen of Rose Glen, North Dakota; Mr. and Mrs. Melford Olson and children of Red Lake Falls; Mr. and Mrs. Herman Draheim of Olivia; Mrs. Albert Kurth of St. Paul; and Mr. and Mrs. George Dosdall of Hager City, Wisconsin.
