Surnames: Scofield Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/XEC.2ACE/1686 Message Board Post: From the march 29th edition of the Adams County Press Dwelling Burned.--The dwelling house of Mr. T. A. Scofield, of the town of Preston, in this county, situated about two and a half miles northeast of Friendship, was burned down on the evening of the 19th, together with nearly all its contents. Mrs. Scofield had gone to a neighbor's on an errand, while Mr. Scofield sat in the kitchen reading. Two little children were sleeping in an adjoining room, wherein a kerosene lamp was burning. Mr. Scofield heard one of the children cry out and went to see to it, when, on opening the door of the room, he found it all ablaze. His first care was to save his children. That done, he turned his attention to his househod goods; but could do but little as he was suffering from a very lame foot on which a horse had stepped. One bed, a sweing machine and some minor things were all that were saved of the contents of the building. The loss must be at least $500, about one-half covered by insurance.

Surnames: Tolvstad, Kjystolson Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/XEC.2ACE/1679 Message Board Post: Out of the Adams County Press--March 29, 1879 Fatal Accident On Sunday last two boys, sons of Mr. Johannes Tolvstad, living in the town of Strongs Prairie, called at the house of Mr Tollev Kjystolson, a near neighbor. Mr. K. and his wife were attending an afternoon meeting in the Thompson School House, leaving their oldest son Christian, a young man about seventeen years of age, at home. The Tolsvstad boys went in the house and remained there some little time chatting with Christian. After awhile the latter went out to attend to his chores about the barn, and the Tolsvtad boys went out with him. The younger of the Tosvstad boys had in his hand a revolver which he kept swinging around very imprudently. In some way the pistol was discharged, the ball striking Christian just under the left ear, and evidently penetrating in an upward direction. The wounded boy fell to the ground, raised himself up, and fell again. The two Tolvstad boys carried Christian into the house, where he immediately expired, without having spoken after ! being shot. The three boys had always appeared to be warm friends. No ill feeling, so far as known, had ever existed between them, and the one who was the unwitting cause of his friend's death is deeply afflicted and nearly crazed at the result of his carelessness. The deceased was highly respected in the community, and gave promise of a sterling, honest, industious and useful manhood, and his sudden death is a sad affliction to his parents and friends.

H. Hunkins, of this village. At about 2 o'clock the barn on the premises was entered by thieves who saddled, bridled and made ready for flight two valuable horses. They had done their work systematically, having spread hay and robes on the floor to deaden the sound. Just as they were about leaving, however, the young Hunkins appeared, and seeing the open door, made at once for the barn. One of the thieves, who was outside, gave the alarm, but the boy grappled with the other, and a desperate struggle ensued. The burglar drew a huge knife and stabbed the lad several times, fortunately, however, inflicting but slight scratches. He still hung on, and was only shaken off when the confederate came to the rescue. The pair of thieves escaped, but without plunder.--Sentinel Special I am not related to this family. Full article.

He had been ill for several months. Funeral services were held Friday morning, April 2, in St. Joseph Catholic church, of which the deceased was a member, with Father McGuire officiating and C.R. Eaton, directing. Burial was in Mount Repose cemetery. Jacob Ginter was born in West Prussia, Germany, July 9, 1861. He was the son of Andrew and Anna Durawa Ginter. He grew to manhood in his native country and served for three years in the German army. He came to America in 1887 and settled first at Little Falls, Morrison county, Minnesota. During the years before he came to Adams county he worked part time on the Northern Pacific railroad and part of the time operated a farm near Little Falls. He was married October 12, 1894 to Frances Kuchinski, and to this union ten children were born, all of whom survive. They are John, Pauline, Anna, Julia, Andrea, Helen, Alex, Jack, Frances, and Max. It was in the year 1920 that the family moved to the 400 acre farm in section 36 of the town of Strongs Prairie that has since been their home. During their residence here Mr. Ginter has won the esteem of his neighbors and those with whom he came in contact as industrious, upright man, a good neighbor, and a decent Christian. The family had the sincere sympathy of the community in the great affliction that has visited their home. Other surviving relatives, besides those previously mentioned are; two brothers, John and Tofiel, living in Williamsburg, Germany, and three sisters, also living in Germany.
