Demouth, Don (25 August 1862 - 15 February 1911)

From the Christie church on Saturday, February 18, the last sad rites of a devoted son and brother, Don Demouth were solemnized in the presence of a large concourse of sorrowing friends.

Don who resided west of Christie was well known in this community, respected and liked by all who had the pleasure of his acquaintance for his modest demeanor and kindly ways.  When it became known that he was stricken with a cancer in an acute and painful form, expressions of sympathy and hoped for his speedy recovery were heard on all sides.  The best of medical aid was procured, and all that loving care could devise of think of was done for the relief of the sufferer whose agonies were mercifully prolonged, until on the morning of February 15^th the great messenger came swiftly and silently, bearing away the soul from its pain racked tenement of clay to dwell forever more in the abodes of peace. 

Sorrow and desolation are left behind however in the home whence the spirit has fled, for a loving mother, two brothers, and a sister remain to mourn his loss, remain to question with aching hearts the strange decrees of providence and to wonder why this should be.  To the grief stricken mother our hearts go out in tenderest sympathy.

Don was the oldest son; was born August 25, 1862, at Charlston, Wis., and moved here several years later with his parents. 

Funeral services were conducted by the Rev. March of Greenwood, interment in the Methodist Cemetery at Christie.
