The remains were accompanied by Dr. Sweet and two daughters of the deceased, Mrs. Grierson and Mrs. F. P. Hoerr, both of whom reside in Mankato. Two other sons, J. C. Sweet, a Minneapolis attorney, and A. J. Sweet, millionaire shoe manufacturer of Auburn, Maine, were with their father iust a few days before he was taken ill, leaving for California, whern they now are. Owing to the long distance they were unable to attend the funeral.

Mr. Sweet was bom in Albion, N. Y., and would have been 73 years of age Tuesday, Jan. 13. For thirty years he was a railway engineer on the Chicago and Northwestern. He was married in Fort Wayne Ind., and later lived at Waseca, Mankato and Minneapolis, Minn. Mr. and Mrs. Sweet came to North Dakota fifteen years ago where Mr. Sweet engaged in the hardware business at Ryder which he conducted until a short time ago. He disposed of his business to Mr. Lucomb and left this section of the state in July making his home since with his widowed daughter Mrs. Clara Grierson in Mankato.

Mr. Sweet was a splendid type of an American and during the recent war showed his patriotism at every opportunity. The news of his death will be received with much regret on the part of many friends located thruout north­western North Dakota.
