Death Calls Another Pioneer Citizen in Milton Foreshoe

With the passing away of Milton Foreshoe, at his farm home five miles southwest of this place on October 27, 1911, another Dakota county pioneer has entered into his long eternal sleep. For over forty=five years he had been one of Dakota precinct's active citizens, taking part in its affairs, both social and political. Upon his arrival in Dakota county with his bride wife in 1866 he went to work with A. H. Baker and Wm. Cheney at a saw mill near Omadi, where Blyburg now is. He afterward homesteaded the land where Adolph Bartels now lives, and 33 years ago removed to the farm where his death occurred.

The deceased was born near Blairsville, Pz., November 22, 1844, and at time of death was 66 years, 11 months and 5 days of age. He enlisted during the civil war in the 101st Pa. Vol. In 1866 was married in Pennsylvania to Emeline Sides, who with three children - Milton Foreshoe, jr., Mrs. Bernard Boals and Mrs. Ward Joyce, all of this county - survive him.

Mr. Foreshoe's illness dates back about two years ago when he suffered an attack of rheumatism, from which he secured but little relief, being badly crippled in his hand. He spent several months at the government sanitarium at Hot Springs, S. D., but received no benefit there. Several weeks ago a team ran away with him and he received injuries from which he never recovered. He always had a glad hand for all who met him and one of his favorite sayings of late years was: "We only pass this way once and all the good we can do and any kindness we can show, do it now, for we shall never pass this way again."

Funeral services were held at Salem Lutheran church on Sunday afternoon, Rev. S. L. Keller, officiating. A large number of old-time friends and associates of the departed one gathered to pay their last tribute to one whom they had known so long and well. Burial was in Dakota City cemetery.
