Abraham Rundell died at his home in the Crow Peak district at 9:30am Monday. The cause of dissolution was a general breaking down of what was once a rough and rugged physique. For a year or more it has been apparent to his fanmily and friends that the end was rapidly approaching, not with standing the fact that Mr. Rundell was around as usual and insisted on making those around him happy by his generous, whole-souled actions.
Abraham Rundell was born in St. Lawrence County, New York, Nov. 14, 1844. When he was about ten years of age his parents moved to Fond du Lac, Wisconsin where the subject of this sketch grew to manhood. On the breaking out of the civil war he enlisted in the First Wisconsin volunteer infantry, serving three years and three months. About a year after the close of the war Mr. Rundell was united in marriage to Jennie Thompson at Winnebago, Illinois, locating shortly thereafter in Berlin, Wisconsin where they resided until 1877, when Mr. Rundell was attracted to the northwest by the immense wheat crops in Minnesota and North Dakota, He located in the Red River Valley, and although at that time a poor man, he very soon forged to the front and became one of the greatest wheat raisers in that famous section. He had an immense tract of land and for several years raised wheat on a big scale, making money at a rapid reate. However, when the reaction came it caught Mt. Rundell as it caught many others and within a year or two he was financially wiped out of extistence. He settled with every creditor in an honorable way and decided to go in search of a new home. His travels brought him to the Black Hills in 1890 and here he has resided ever since. For a few years he leased the Hopkins ranch, but later filed on and bought land in the Crow Peak district and built up a comfortable home for his declining years.
Few men in this locality were held in higher esteem by the editor of the Mail then Grandpa Rundell. Aside from his gental nature and honest straighforward character, there were other reasons which endeared this kindly old man to the writer hereof. During the early years of Mr. Rundell's life when he lived at Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, he was personally acquainted with the late J. H. Warren, at that time employed in operating a linseed oil mill at Fond du Lac. The acquaintance formed away back in the 50's was renewed in the early 90's when Mr. Rundell came to Spearfish ans discovered that the then editor of the Mail was his old time friend in Wisconsin. They were fast friendss until Mr. Warren's death in 1895, and since that time Mr. Rundell has always had a more than friendly feeling for the writer hereof, and seldom came to Spearfish without dropping in for a friendly chat. His was a friendship that was lasting. He was not one of those persons who are continually hunting for new friends in order to have any friends at all. Frank and open-hearted in his likes and dislikes, he never hesitated to criticise the Mail or its editor when it appeared to express opinions contrary to his own. But he was always willing to forget and forgive, a trait that might well be cultivated by others. Two years ago Mr. Rundell revisited some of the scenes of his earlier life in Minnesota and Iowa, and visited some of the scences of his earlier life in Minnesota and Iowa, and when he returned to the Hills he then expressed the opinion that he was ready to go whenever his time came, and hoped that his dust might be laid at rest in the Black Hills, which he had come to love better than any previous spot which he had at some time called "home".
There was born to Mr. and Mrs. Rundell six children - four boys and two girls. Jay Rundell was a member of the South Dakota regiment which went to the Phillippines and he died en route home on the transport in 1899. The body was brought to Spearfish for burial and the community turned out almost unanimously to pay tribute to one of the best boys who enlisted from this little city. Lauren another son, died the same year. The remaining children are Peter, who lives at home; John who left here several years ago and has never been heard from; Mrs O.F. Morse who lives near Donald Wyo. And Mrs. Caffery, who lives at Crow Peak. Those children together with the widow, are left to mourn the departure of a loving hushand and faithful and an honest and upright man and citizen.
Funeral services will be held this afternoon at the Congregational church so soon as the cortege arrives from the family home, probably at about 1:30.
