IRON NATION FARMER IS LAID TO FINAL REST
Concerning the death of a well known Iron Nation farmer, the Chamberlain Leader has the following to say:
“It was well known before his death that Will Dent could not get well. He was cared for at the home of his sister, Mrs. Hattie Henegar in Chamberlain, since he was stricken with paralysis on January 19 at his ranch north of Kennebec where he loved to spend his time and fix up things during the fine weather of the early winter.
“Mrs. Dent and his son Floyd were here from Ogden, Iowa continuously since he was taken ill and they remained here until the end.
“William H. Dent was born was born June 19, 1871 at Cantonn SD. He was a son of Wilson and Laura Dent, early known pioneers of this section of South Dakota. Will grew up in the family home and moved to Lower Brule in 1880. He was em-ployed as an industrial teacher for two years in the Indian school there. After that, he was engaged in ranching on Medi-cine Creek for several years, and always maintained as active interest in the great open spaces of South Dakota, which he loved.
“When a young man, he was married to Anna Mae Young, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Warren Young, and to them two sons, Roland Lyle and Floyd, were born. The family moved to Ogden, Iowa in 1912, where Mrs. Dent died in 1916. In 1923, Will and Mrs. Bina Sloatman of Chamberlain were married and they have made their home and have made their home continuously at Ogden until his death on March 31.
“Besides his widow and two sons, there are three grandchil-dren. Will is also survived by three sisters and one brother: Mrs. Hattie Henegar of Chamberlain; Minnie Boudrou of Bel-vedere; Nettie Morgan of Centerville, this state and Albert Dent of Aberdeen.
“Services were held Monday at the McColley Funeral Home, Rev George Jenkins, officiating. With music and an abun-dance of flowers, the services were pretty in spite of the re-morse that goes with the passing of a loved one. Burial was made in Riverview.”
