      Funeral services for Frank Vian, who died Thursday morning, August 26th, were held at the home in Greenbush township Friday afternoon at 4 o'clock. Rev. E. O. Johnson of Donneybrook M.E.church delivered the funeral sermon and several beautiful songs were rendered by the ladies of the choir. The remains were laid to rest in the Greenbush Cemetery. (Greenfield Cemetery, Greenbush Twp. dwebb)
      Frank Vian was born in Farmers Valley near Sparta, Wis., Oct. 14, 1856. As a young man he moved to Sauk Center, Minn. and made his home there until he came to Ward county. Mr. Vian was married three times. His first wife was Ida Slosson of Osakis, Minn. Five children were born to them: Robert, of Sparta, Wis., Anson, who died in Montana three years ago, Mrs. W. M. Shulz, of Steward, Minn., Mrs. Tedwall Rogne of Mora, Minn., and Verne of Benton, Monta. He was married to Mrs. Ida Schumacher, his second wife, Nov. 13, 1906, and to them was born one son, Ray H. Vian of Donnybrook. On Jan. 20, 1910, Mr. Vian married Agusta Meighan who survives him. Mrs. Rogne and Ray were the only children attending the funeral.
      Frank Vian was one of the first settler's in Greenbush township. He filed on his homstead there May 1, 1900, and became one of the most prominent farers of the neighborhood. He was of a jolly and friendly disposition which made him popular with all who knew him and he took an active part in the affairs of the community. About six years ago he moved out in the "hills" southwest of this place where he lived until about a year ago when he returned to Greenbush township. He was a strong, rugged man until a few years ago when his health began to fail.
      The people in this community join in extending sympathy to the surviving wife and children.
