      Mrs. Daniel Doran went to St. Cloud Wednesday morning to be present at the closing exercises of the Normal school at which time her daughter, Miss Mary Doran, graduates from that institution. (Brainerd Dispatch, 02 June 1899, p. 8, c. 3)

                          MARRIED.
                            _____

                  REIMSTAD—DORAN.

      The home of Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Doran was the scene of a very pretty wedding on Tuesday evening, when their only daughter, Miss Mary Amanda, was united in marriage to Dr. Christian S. Reimestad, of this city.
      The house was very tastily decorated, the front parlor being ornamented with cream roses and white carnations, while the decorations of the rear parlor were pink roses with smilax and ferns. The dining room was green and gold, graceful festoons of woodbine and gold flowers being used.
      The ceremony occurred in the front parlor at 8:30 o'clock, Rev. Father Lynch conducting the ceremony. Miss Mabel Early was bridesmaid and Dr. Bachellor was the groom's best man. The bride looked lovely in a cream silk gown trimmed with liberty silk, and she carried a bouquet of cream roses tied with cream satin ribbon. The bridesmaid wore white organdy and carried pink and white roses.
      After the ceremony the happy couple received the congratulations of the assembled guests, after which a sumptuous wedding supper was served. They left for Minneapolis on the midnight train amid a shower of rice and the best wishes of the guests who accompanied them to the depot. They will return to this city on Sunday and will reside in the Smith Gray place on Fourth street north.
      Both of the contracting parties are well known and most highly respected in this city. The groom has resided here for the past five years, is a graduate of the state university, has been county coroner for the past two years, and is a rising young physician with constantly increasing practice.
      The bride has resided here from infancy and is a handsome, intelligent and refined young lady whose friends are numbered by her acquaintances. She is a graduate of the Brainerd high school and the State Normal school, and taught school one year in the public schools.
      The DISPATCH with hosts of friends extends congratulations and best wishes. Many costly and beautiful wedding presents were received including some very fine statuary from the doctor's brother who is now in Denmark, Geo. Reimestad and Miss Reimestad, of Minneapolis, were in the city and attended the wedding. (Brainerd Dispatch, 07 September 1900, p. 8, c's. 3 & 4)

       Leaves Surviving Her Husband, Dr.
          C. S. Reimestad and Two Small
                           Children

      The explosion of a can of wood alcohol so severely burned Mrs. C. S. Reimestad, the wife of Dr. C. S. Reimestad, on Saturday afternoon that she died at midnight.
      During the summer months the family had been using a kerosene oil stove which required wood alcohol to generate the flame. The stove has a wickless burner and after the wood alcohol is poured on, a blue flame is generated which starts the stove. Mrs. Reimestad had started the stove and then went down town to meet her husband. She and the doctor returned and at about half past four in the afternoon were standing near the stove in the kitchen, with the children close by. In order to hurry the preparation of the evening luncheon she picked up a can of wood alcohol and poured some in a cup of the stove.
      An immediate explosion resulted. The kitchen was a sheet of flame which fairly enveloped the helpless woman. The shock of the explosion was felt by neighbors and the flames were seen shooting out of the kitchen windows and door. Half crazed by the awful shock and the burns she rushed out of the door onto the porch where she fell unconscious. Her husband tore off her burning clothes and did all in his power to shield and save her. She was immediately removed to St. Joseph's hospital where Dr. O. T. Batcheller and Dr. R. A. Beise were in constant attendance. Her whole body was burned in a pitiful manner, leaving only her face unscarred. She sank into a stupor and never regained consciousness dying at 11:50 Saturday night.
      Mrs. C. S. Reimestad, formerly Miss Mary A. Doran, was born October 10, 1876 in Kalkaska, Mich. Her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Doran, removed to Brainerd when she was four years old, so that she has virtually grown up and lived in Brainerd all her life. She was graduated from the Brainerd high school with the class of 1898 and also attended the St. Cloud normal school. She taught one year in the primary grade of the Harrison school. In 1900 she was married to Dr. C. S. Reimestad and to them two children were born, Clarence, aged seven and Sara aged eight. The fact that the children stood back of their parents and were shielded by them is all that saved them from being injured. She leaves surviving her also her parents Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Doran of 420 South Ninth street and two brothers, John Doran, of Minneapolis, and R. E. Doran, of South Tacoma, Wash. No funeral arrangements will be announced until R. E. Doran is heard from.
      She was a member of St. Francis Catholic church, and the funeral services will be held there. Mrs. Reimestad was a woman who was loved by all who knew her. She was always kind, gentle, tactful and considerate and made friends readily. Her whole life was devoted to her children and her husband. The sympathy of the community is extended the grief stricken husband and the family. (Brainerd Daily Dispatch, 13 June 1910, p. 5, c's. 1 & 2) [Contributed by John Van Essen]
