Deceased had three brothers -—John, Frank and Barnet. John is in Nevada and could not be

reached by wire. He had three sisters—Margaret, Mary and Rose; the latter still survives, living at

Whittemore.

Deceased was too well known for us to be able to add much to the general information. He was a

good citizen and a kind husband and father, whom his children and his neighbors will always

remember with love and respect.

The funeral services were held at the Catholic church last Saturday morning and were largely

attended. Among those present from abroad were Mary Meagher and Annie Dunphy of St. Paul,

Stephen Dunn of Moreland, Kate Flannery of Nebraska, Peter Reilly of Fort Dodge, Anton

Kajewski, his son Anton and his son-in-law Harry Oliver of Whittemore.

Wm. Squires suffered the loss of his residence property by fire late Friday afternoon, the 18th inst. Together

with Roy Raymo, the owner has been "batching it" on his father's home place and it was during a

temporary absence of the pair that the fire started, presumably from a defective flue, and completely

destroyed the building. All or very nearly all the furnishings were saved. It is not known whether or not the

structure was insured, it being quite old, but in a good state of repair, having been built by the late Sam

Squires when lumber was not so scarce nor expensive as it is now. Owing to the hardwood material used in

its construction it [took] several hours before the flames completely ate up the dwelling. Will is making his

home at present with his brother, John.

[Note: Anton Kajewski married Rose, daughter of John Devine and Nancy Ann Meagher]

Antone Kajewski was in from Fairfield township Saturday. Mr. Kajewski is the owner of one of the best

half section farms in our county. He came to this country from Poland in 1881. He and Gregor Gappa made

the trip from the old country together. He informs us that he could not speak the English language when he

arrived. He was brought as far west as Canton through a mistake on the part of the conductor. He worked

by the month for several years after coming to this country. He finally saved up enough money to make a

small payment on an eighty acre farm. He prospered and has since bought three additional eighties. Men of

Mr. Kajewskis' industry, economy and pluck have made the great west what it is at the present time.
