Samuel Sweet, one of the early settlers of this vicinity, but who spent much of his life at Minneapolis as a state grain inspector, died Friday morning at his home on Lake Charley, where he had resided the past two years, aged 82 years.
Samuel Sweet was born at Amsterday, New York, and lived there until he went to railroading at the age of 21 years. He was a baggageman for twelve years and then came to Alexandria in 1879 and moved onto a farm near Garfield, where he spent the next ten years of his life. He then went to Minneapolis as a grain inspector and lived there until two years ago, when he retired and made his home in the Paulson house on Lake Charley. Last Thursday he was suffering from a slight cold and went to bed in the afternoon, and passed away quietly at one o'clock in the morning.
He was united in marriage to Anna Farqharson at Amsterdam and two children were born to this union: Charley and Elizabeth. Both died some six years ago. His first wife passed away 18 years ago and he was married the second time to Elizabeth Krugherz at New Prague about six years ago. She survives him. Three brothers, Peter, Sam and Stephen, have preceded him in death.
Funeral services were held Sunday afternoon from the Anderson chapel, Rev. J. R. Davies officiating, and burial was in Kinkead cemetery. The pallbearers were all relatives: Fred Sweet, Stephen Sweet, Joe Sweet, Minor Sweet, Earl Moede and Dave Chisholm.
