Funeral Services
Held Monday For
Luther Hodgin, Sr.
Funeral services were held at
Trotters, Monday afternoon, May
1st at two o'clock from the United
Brethren Church for Luther Hod-
gin, 62, a pioneer resident of that
community who died in Los An-
geles, April 2~. RaY. D. E. Kenney
of Beach and pastor of the church
officiated and burial took place in
the North Side Cemetery, many
old friends and neighbors gathering
with the family to pay their re-
spects to a pioneer who was honor-
ed and respected throughout this
section of western North Dakota.
Luther Hodgin was born in Rich-
mond, Wayne county, Indiana on
Septsmber 22, 1882 and where he
spent his early life. He came to
North Dakota in July, 1903. One
year later he was married to Mar-
" garet Tasker in Fargo, and to this
marriage two children were born,
Henry Everette and Luther Frank,
the eldest son, Henry, preceding
Rats father in death at the age of
15 months•
In 1909 the family moved to the
Trotters community, where they
homesteaded and made their home
until 1938, when they moved into
Beach. After the outbreak of the
war, Mr. Hodgln went to California
where he engaged in war work, his
:fantily joining him.
Long years of residence as a
~icneer settler in a new country
where many obstacles have to be i
~vercome, Luther Hodgin was ad-i
mired and loved by both young
and old. His acts of kindness and
sympathy were freely given, and it
may be truthfully said that he
was never too busy to give a. help-
hand to those leas fortunate
than himself.
Surviving are his wife, son and
¢laughter-in-law, Mr. and Mrs.
:Luther F. Hodgin of Los Angeles;
two sisters, Mrs. Jesse Hunt, In-
dianapolis, Indiana, and Mrs. Roy
":E. Study of Richmond, Indiana;
four brothers, George, Frank and
Harry, all of Richmond, Indiana;
several nieces and nephews; and a
host of friends and acquaintances.
Frank Hodgin, a brother, and i
Roy E• Study, a brother-ln-law,
both of Richmond, Indiana were
here for the funeral services•

BEACH, GOLDEN VALLEY COUNTY, NORTH DAKOTA, THURSDAY, MAY 4, 1944
= Jap Sniper's Rifle "
Displayed in Beach
The first War relic of World War
II to be displayed in Beach, is a
souvenir of the South Pacific war
zone in the form of a Jap 7.7
rifle received this week by Nic
Johnson of Golva from his nephew,
Master Gunnery Sgt. Clarence P.
Johnson, who is stationed some-
where in the South Pacific area
with the Marine Corps.
The gun, the new regulation
rifle now used by the Jap forces,
was taken from a dead sniper. It
is slightly heavier than the rifle
the first American soldiers en-
countered.
The rifle is short and of the
carbine type. It seems well made
but at the same time has the
cheapness in appearance that has
a t w a y s characterized anything
"Made in Japan."
Mr. Johnson has the rifle on
dksplay at Sleight's City Drug int
Beach and it has aroused consider-]
able interest, as it shows the scars
ofthe battle, stock, even to blood stains on
Geo. McClellan
Has the Ability
To Do ThiNs
During the epidemic of bank
failures in North Dakota Mr. Mc-
Clellan caused the receiver of the
?irst National Bank of Beach to be
• emoved in beh~f of the depositors
)y taking their grieyances up with
?resident Calvin Coolidge, then va-
at'oning in the BhiZk Hills, after
~is former.congressional opponent,
hm serving in Congress, fell down
,n the. job stating he had worked
mrd on the case and there was
:othing he could do. This simply
ndicates McClellan's ability to do
hings for his people~and which
:~e would continue to do if elected
;o Congress.
GEORGE McCLELLAN
There are a few who think that
political speeches make a statesman
but if that were a fact why did
the former congressman not get
the receiver removed by his ora-
tory? Action speaks louder than
words and that is what the deposit-
ors wanted and what the people
will want in the future.
There were a number of the
young Beach people already in the
Black Hills; also some older who
lost money in the bank, and Mr.
McClellan had the pleasure of in-
treducing them to the president at
that time. He did not mention his
experiences when he came home
but the young people were so de-
lighted they told of having met the
president.

Siamese Twin Pigs
Born to Brood Sow
Siamese twins, born to one of
the brood sows at the Hoeck farm
last week, proved a notable event
and a curious sight for many per-
sons who had never before had the
opportunity to view twin "piggies"
joined together.
The unusual birth had no doubt
Laken place sometime before Ted
Hoeck discovered it, and it was
:;till alive. The formation of the
head and mouth, with two jaw
bones and two tongues, indicated,
that the little freak could not
secure the necessary nourishment
of the mother sow. Mr. Hoeck
carried the twin into the house
for his family to see while it was
still alive, but as they were unable
to feed it, it died in a short time.
The freak twins were well de-
veloped and had all the appearance
of two pigs, only joined together
just back of the front shoulder
with one set of forelegs and one
head, pltm the double mouth fea-
tures as mentioned above•
Seven other pigs in the litter
all survived ~md are on their way
to becoming real porkers.
