    Died:
    Died, at her residence in Dalhousie on the 7th December, Isabella Chalmers, wife of William Purdon, Sr., after an illness of two weeks and three days. The deceased was born in the town of Hamilton, Scotland on the 3rd Sept., 1815(?) and was married to William Purdon on the 5th January, 1835. The deceased was the mother of a large family, 9 sons and 4 daughters, all of whom survive her except one little daughter who died in infancy. They are likewise all married with one exception and several of them have sons and daughters married who have young families. The deceased was a woman of great practical knowledge. She was well read and until failing health compelled her to retire she was very much sought after in all cases of trouble particularly in cases of midwifery where her long practical knowledge enabled her to be very successful; indeed so much so that when she was present the late Dr. Munro of Lanark would only act as an assistant. She was likewise a most sincere Christian and although she was not a member of any church, she was a sincere follower of the divine Master and took greatest pleasure in assisting the poor and afflicted without regard to creed or color and it may truly be said that she never had an enemy on earth. She was followed to the grave at the Highland Line burial ground by a large concourse of friends and neighbors. Six of her sons all fine, stalwart men were her pallbearers when her remains were committed to the earth.

    James Purdon, Pioneer is Buried at Riverside

    Funeral services for James Purdon, 86, pioneer Wahpeton merchant, who died Thursday evening at the Wahpeton hospital from complications due to old age were held from the Congregational church Saturday afternoon, with Rev, c.F. Dunham in charge. Interment was made in Riverside cemetery where the Odd Fellows funeral ritual was observed.

    For several months Mr Purdon has been in poor health. He was taken to the hospital September 2, when his condition became serious. Death relieved the suffering of one who during his 46 years residence in Wahpeton had been active in the civic affairs of the city and in its up building.

    Mr Purdon was born in Ontario, Canada, in 1840. He was married there and moved with his family to Alexandria, Minnesota, in 1868, where he took a homestead. Later he entered the contracting and building business. While a resident of Alexandria he served two terms as clerk of court of Douglas county. Mrs Purdon died at Alexandria and later Mr Purdon married Miss Annette Anderson. The family moved to Wahpeton in 1879, where Mr Purdon established a mercantile business, in which his brother, Dave, and a son,William R, were associated. This enterprise was conducted under the name of Purdon & Company, until about eight years ago, when it was discontinued because of the advancing age of Mr Purdon.

    During his residence in Wahpeton, Mr Purdon served in many positions of trust. He served the city as alderman, president of the council and as mayor. He was twice elected to the legislature from this county, serving in territorial days just before the state was admitted to the union in 1889.

    In 1881, Mr Purdon in company with seven other Wahpeton men instituted the Odd Fellows Lodge in this city. He had the honor of serving as the first noble grand of the local order. Only one other charter member of the lodge survives him, Rufus B. Meyers, of California.

    Members of the Odd Fellows attended the funeral in a body and past grands acted as pall bearers.

    Mr Purdon is survived by six children. They are Mrs. W. G. Crocker, of Lisbon' Dr. Cleve Purdon, Lisbon; Major Frank Purdon, now stationed at Porto Rico; Clara and Florence Purdon, of Morristown, N.J., and Mrs Theodore Mollerud, of Wahpeton. Children who preceded their father in death were Major William R. Purdon, Mrs. Fred Lynch and Mrs. V.P. Bennett.

    Three brothers and two sisters also survive him. They are Dave, of Wahpeton and Andrew of Alexandria; one brother and two sisters, still residing at McDonald's corner, Ontario. Mrs R.T. BArber of Wahpeton, is a niece of Mr. Purdon.

    Mr Purdon was welll respected in Richland county, where he had a wide acquaintance. News of his passing is received with sorrow. Sympathy for the bereaved family is general."

    Died:
    Death called one of the first settlers of Orange township and one of the oldest citizens of Alexandria when Andrew Purdon passed away Saturday night, February 4, at 11:30 o'clock at the Carlquist residence in this city, aged 86 years. Mr. Purdon had lived in Alexandria since 1873 and was one of the best known and well liked citizens of this community. Death was caused by pneumonia after an illness of about two weeks.
    Andrew Purdon was born in Lanark county, Canada, the son of William and Isabelle Chalmers Purdon. He grew to manhood there and came to Minnesota in 1868, taking up a claim in Orange township. After proving up on the homestead he moved to Alexandria, building a home on the present site of the Mrs. C. J. Carlquist residence. He was married in Alexandria on November 4, 1869, to Annie Walker, who had been a neighbor in Ontario and who had come to Minnesota with her parents about the time that Mr. Purdon came here. Three children were born of this union: Henry and Ida K., who died in childhood, and William D., who is a vice president of the Guardian Trust Company of Cleveland, Ohio. A brother, David Purdon, lives at Wahpeton, N.D., and a sister, Mrs. Thomas Scott, lives at McDonald's Corners, Ontario. A niece, Mrs. Lucy P. Barber of Wahpeton, N.D., who lived with Mr. and Mrs. Purdon from childhood also survives him.
    Mr. Purdon was engaged for many years in the wagonmaker's trade. In 1908 Mrs. Purdon passed away and after her death Mr. Purdon sold his home to Mrs. C. J. Carlquist, reserving one room for himself, so that was his home during all of the sixty years of his life in Alexandria.
    Funeral services were held Monday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock from the Congregational church, of which he was the oldest member. Rev. Harry Blunt officiated. Burial was in Kinkead cemetery. The pallbearers were: A. A. Secord, H. E. Leach, Dr. L. M. Boyd, Howard Stevens, E. J. Brandt and Will Haberer.
