Obituary
Thomas McMichael-1920
THOMAS E. McMICHAEL, OLD TIMER OF WAHPETON, DEAD Thomas E. McMichael, for thirty-three years a resident of Wahpeton, well known to almost every one in town, passed away at his home on the south side Tuesday morning about six o’clock, after a long illness from heart trouble.
“Tom” as he was known to his friends, had been ill since last October, up to which time he had been employed as transfer clerk in the Great Northern freight depot at Breckenridge. For the last few weeks of his illness he suffered considerably, and for a week before death came he had been unable to sleep or even to lie down. The trouble came from an enlargement of the heart, which gradually choked off the action of the other vital organs; and when the enlargement became too great death followed.
Deceased was born at Seaforth, Ontario, forty-eight years ago. In 1884, when a lad of about fifteen years, he came to North Dakota with his parents, who settled at Sheldon. Three years later he came to Wahpeton. This city has been his home ever since. Mr. McMichael was twice married, and is survived by three children of the former marriage, his wife and a two year old baby daughter. Their names are: Fred and Victoria McMichael of Chicago, Louis McMichael at Fargo. Two brothers and two sisters also survive, A. E. and R. V. McMichael of Wahpeton, Mrs. Maud Haas and Miss Agnes McMichael of Fargo. Deceased belonged to the Mazeppa Hook and Ladder Co., and to the M. W. A. whose members join with the relatives and friends in mourning his death.
Funeral services will be conducted at Trinity Episcopal church this afternoon at two-thirty, Rev. W. M. Walton conducting the service. Burial will be at Fairview cemetery.
