Obituaries
FRANK H. TUPPER
Frank H. Tupper of South Mazeppa passed away at 4:30 p.m. March 2 at the home of his son, Donald in Rochester. He was 78 years of age and had been ill for several years.
The son of Ezra and Emma Witter Tupper, he was born Sept. 15, 1876 in Pine Island Township. He attended District 54 in Wabasha County, and Mary 28, 1902, was married to Elizabeth M. Hoffman at Mazeppa. He moved to the home farm at the age of two, and followed the occupation of farming all his life. In his later years he resided with his son Kenneth on the home farm.
Surviving, in addition to his wife, are six children; Ezra of Minneapolis, Kenneth and Mrs. John Frank of Mazeppa, and Donald, Gordon and Jerry of Rochester.
This entire area was saddened by the death of Mr. Tupper. For many years he had been one of the most prominent in farming and community affairs in South Mazeppa. He loved people and it always a joy to visit with him. His family is offered the deepest sympathy in its great loss.

Nice Going
The Dierkhissings don’t know I saw this, but through devious means I secured a copy of The Municipal Liquor Store magazine. Among a page of pictures of those attending the one-day mid-winter meeting Feb. 10 at The Nicollet in Minneapolis was one with the following caption:
“The association’s tallest member (and most handsome according the women) Harold Dierkhissing, Mazeppa with his equally handsome wife agree with Calmer Ekker, Mabel and William Decheint, Minneapolis, this was a most successful affair.”
