LOSES FIGHT
AGAINST DIPHTHERIA
Roland Kirsch, brother of
Mrs. il. C. Bailey succumbed to
diphtheria at Warwick, X. D.,
last     Thursday ,_;.    His
man}. .lined to
ath and
! man j- expressions of sympathy for   the   be-
d relatives.
Personally, the loss of Rollie
who was a brother to us in a
double sense, is irreparable. He
came with us toPierz and assisted in starting- the .Journal, and
was iutimately associated with
JournaI or near
ly half a year.    Our   deep   sorrow helps us   to   realize   more
fully the   deeper   grief   of   his
yes.
Crookston Times, duly 28—
Last night, at Warwick, N. D.,
Roland Kirsch passed away, after an illness of two weeks with
diphtheria, which he is thought
to have contracted while awav
recently on a visit to Crookston
Argyle and other points. His
death did not come unexpectedly as his condition has been
critical for the past week-. Last
evening- advices were recei
that the end was believed to be
near and this morning his two
sisters in this city, Mrs. Arthur
Egley and Mrs. A. P Sanberg,
left for Warwick, but were no-
titled at Grand Porks that they
had lost their race with death
and returned to Crookston on
the N. P. at noon toi
Rolland Kirsch was twenty
years of age and well known
in Crookston and Argyle, where
he had been connected with
newspapers for several years
past, his home having been at
Argyle, where his parents Mr.
and Mrs. P. Kirsch, reside. His
parents, one sister, Mrs. H. C.
Bailey, and one brother, Francis Kirsch, were at his bedside
when death came, ami all will
accompany the remains home to
Argyle, where interment will
take place, probably Sunday.
The remains will arrive in
Crookston tomorrow morning.
Deceased was a young man of
an engaging' disposition and was
held in high esteem by all who
knew him. At the time of his
death he was editing the Warwick Sentinel, and was forging
ahead rapidly in his profession.
His dea'h will cause genuine
sorrow among a host of friends
who extend deep sympathy to
members of the bereaved family.
