| McJannet Store will Continue |
- The furniture and undertaking business of John McJannet who died last week, will be continued. The business will be under the management of a brother-in-law of the deceased, Charles Weagant, who has looked after the details of the business for the past year or two, for the most part.
On his deathbed, Mr McJannet presented the undertaking business to Mr. Weagant and asked him to continue the same and this will be continued in the same efficient manner in the future that has characterized it in the past. Mr Weagant himself is a licensed embalmer and one of the most prominent undertakers in the state. The undertaking business and the furniture business will be conducted together as before.

John McJannett Died This Morning
After an illness of seven weeks from tuberculosis, John McJannett, one of Minot's oldest and best beloved citizens died at this home in this city this morning at 10 o'clock. The grim reaper came so quietly and that the sorrowing friends and relatives hardly realized that the spirit had taken its flight until all was over.
The funeral will be held Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock and will be conducted by the Star in the West lodge, No 33 A.F. and A.M. of which lodge Mr. McJannett was long a member, and one of the most prominent workers. The members of the DeMolay Commandery will act as escort.
The deceased realized for nearly two weeks that his days were numbered, and while he dreaded the thoughts of leaving his loved ones, he became reconciled to his fate and realized that it was the wish of his Master. Mr. McJannett made all of his funeral arrangements to the minutest detail, it being his desire that he should have a Blue Lodge funeral. He asked that his remains lie at his home for two days after death, and then for two days to line in state in the new Masonic Temple, which he dedicated but a few weeks ago acting as Deputy Grand Master. In accordance with this desire, his remains will be taken from his home Saturday morning and to the Temple where they will remain until the funeral hour.
Mr. McJannett desired that James Maxwell of Grafton, an old friend, should prepare his remains for burial.
Mr. Maxwell, President of the Board of Embalming Examiners for North Dakota, W. M. Chandler, President of the North Dakota Undertakers association, will be present at the funeral. It will be remembered that Mr. McJannett was elected vice president of the state association last January.
The funeral will be one of the largest the city has ever known.
Owing to the late hour, we are unable to say much concerning the life of this most worthy citizen this week, but in our next issue will give a complete account of his noble and well spent life.

Note: There is a lengthy obituary in the May 7, 1908 issue of The Independent, much too large to be posted here, except for this small excerpt.
The deceased leaves his widow, his aged father and mother who reside at Clifford, Ont., three sisters, Mrs. Burnett, Mrs. Milligan and Miss Jane McJannett of Clifford, Ont., and two brothers, R. McJannett of Pilot Mount, Man., and Hugh McJannett of Edmonton, Alberta.
