Edwin Carl Fransen
Born Nov. 19, 1920; passed away May 13, 2013
Dorothy Louise (Hass) Fransen
Born Dec. 27, 1925; passed away Oct. 1, 2013
Edwin and Dorothy, nearly inseparable for the almost 69 years they were married, passed away only months apart in Billings, Mont. '97 Edwin, at the age of 92 at Billings Health and Rehabilitation Center following complications from pneumonia; Dorothy, at the age of 87, due to congestive heart failure and aspiration. They grew up, married, raised their children, and spent the majority of their lives together in the rural Westby area in northeastern Montana, until failing health brought them to Billings to be closer to their family. They are now forever united with God and family and friends who preceded them in death. A celebration of their lives service will take place on July 25, 2014, at St. John's Lutheran Church in rural Westby.
Edwin '97 Edwin's father, Oscar, emigrated from Sweden with his brothers, Sanford Fransen and Swen Soderquist, and traveled to northeastern Montana to establish their own homesteads. Edwin's mother, Anne Jensen, came from Minnesota to file for her homestead north of Westby, which she later sold, then moved to Plentywood and worked in a hotel and cafe, where she would meet Oscar. After they were married, they lived on Oscar's farm and had four children: Esther, Edith, Edwin and John.
Edwin attended the country Coolidge School, along with his siblings, finishing eight grades in seven years! He did not continue his education, but rather stayed home to help on the family farm.
At the age of 12, he was able to perform all farming responsibilities, from raising cattle to planting and harvesting wheat. Because his father suffered serious injuries from a farm accident, Edwin took over running the farm at the age of 15. He believed, as the eldest son, it was his role to run the farm so his siblings could finish school. He continued farming the home place, a total of almost 80 years, until he retired and moved to Plentywood, with his wife, Dorothy. The farm, though rented out, has remained in the Fransen family for over 103 years!
Edwin met Dorothy at a young age and married her shortly after her graduation from Westby High School in 1944. They lived on his family's farm with his parents, until Edwin had a house moved from Comertown to just east of his parents' homestead. They had three children: Dennis, James and Debbie, all of whom also attended Coolidge School and Westby High School. Edwin and Dorothy later bought and farmed his uncle Sanford's homestead nearby.
Dorothy '97 Dorothy's father, Edward Hass, moved from Wisconsin to Texas to homestead, but due to dry conditions, had to sell out. He was able to successfully homestead eight miles north of Westby, on the Canada/Montana/North Dakota border. Her mother, Ruby Tomke, traveled from Michigan to Tribune, Saskatchewan, Canada, to help her sister who had a baby. It was there that she met Edward, who was visiting a cousin. They married and she moved to his farm, where they raised their three daughters: Florence, Muriel and Dorothy, who was born in the only hospital Westby ever had, which later became the home of Bill and Irene Stageberg. Apparently, her dad was somewhat disappointed that he had no sons. However, since Dorothy preferred to be outside and loved to work with him on the farm, milking cows and operating the wheat binder, he often stated that she was the best son he could ever have!
Dorothy loved animals, particularly horses, and since she was FEARLESS, loved to ride fast across the prairie. She got caught by her father attempting to cross a deep lake bareback on her horse '97 and she couldn't even swim. She also would back her horse against an electric fence, so it would take off like a flash. Needless to say, Dorothy gave her parents great concern.
She and her sisters attended the Pleasant Valley country school, then high school in Westby. Upon graduation, she married Edwin and moved to his parents' farm, where they raised their family and she also worked on the farm.
Both Edwin and Dorothy were active members of St. John's Lutheran Church and participated in all community activities. Dorothy, especially, was very outgoing, made many friends and helped wherever she was needed. Edwin was much quieter and let her speak for him much of the time. They both were devoted to their children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren; and regretted that they lived so far from them.
They are survived by their son, Dennis (Cheryl) of Billings and their child, Shawn; Chad (Lynette) and their children, Halle, Lucas and Zachary; and Justin (Fran) and their daughters, Alyssa and Kaylee; son, James (Jan) of Bellingham, Wash., and their children, James (Erica), Katie, and her son, Sequoia; and daughter, Debbie (Chuck, deceased) Goodheart of Billings, and her daughter, Stephanie (Adam) and their sons, Ethan and Preston. They are also survived by Edwin's sister, Edith (Kalmer, deceased) Haarstad of Minot, N.D.; and Dorothy's sister, Muriel (Bill, deceased) Otto of Kalispell, Mont.; numerous nieces, nephews, step-grandchildren, and many friends.
They were preceded in death by their parents; Edwin's sister, Esther (Bjorn, deceased) Bjornsen, and his brother, John; and Dorothy's sister, Florence (Adolph, deceased) Anderson.
Any memorials may be sent to St. John's Lutheran Church, PO Box 199, Westby, MT 59275, or to the charity of your choice.
Arrangements are by Cremation & Funeral Gallery. Condolences may be sent to the family at www.cfgbillings.com through "Our Families."

Official Obituary of Marcia Faye (Barnes) Parks
February 25, 1945 ~ July 1, 2024 (age 79)

Marcia Faye (Barnes) Parks, age 79, passed away peacefully at home on July 1, 2024, in Deer River, MN, with her devoted family around her following a prolonged battle with Dementia.

Born on February 25, 1945, in Deer River, Marcia was the daughter of the late Herb and Gladys Barnes. She graduated from Deer River High School in 1964. After high school, Marcia worked in local restaurants in Deer River. In the summers of 1967 and 1969, she went to Alaska to stay with her sister Katherine and worked at the Tictok Drive-In on the Old Steese Highway in Fairbanks. In 1967, she was in Fairbanks during the flood that caused significant damage to the area.

She married Don Parks on April 3, 1970, and they moved to Fairbanks, where they raised three children. Marcia and Don lost their first baby boy in November 1970. In November 1971, they welcomed their first daughter, Jackie, and were overjoyed. They then lost a baby girl in December 1975. In 1983, to their delight, they welcomed Kent into the world, and everyone in the family was overjoyed at his arrival.

During the winter months, Marcia worked in the woods with Don as they had their own business, AAA Firewood. Marcia could outwork any teenager who came to work for them, usually with a cigarette in her mouth, and even started feeding some of the boys' breakfast so they could keep up with her. After moving back to Deer River in 1995, she worked for Hired Hands and the Co-op Meat Department until retiring. She spent two years helping take care of her nephew Mark Gullickson until his passing, he adoringly called her "Tomato."

Marcia was a dedicated mother and spent all of her spare time with her nieces and nephews, showing them how to work hard, fish, shoot, water ski, and play card games. In her spare time, Marcia enjoyed fishing, haying in the field, hunting, and spending time with family.

Marcia was known for her quick wit, kind heart, and unwavering loyalty to family and friends. She was a card shark when it came to poker, often delighting in taking everyone's money with her unbeatable hands and strategic plays.

Marcia is survived by her husband of 54 years, Don Parks; her children, Jackie Baker and Kent Parks; her granddaughter, Delaney Jo Baker; her sisters, Lily Gullickson and Collette Barnes; her brother, Jack Barnes and many nieces and nephews.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Herb and Gladys Barnes, her two babies, her brothers Lloyd Barnes, Robert Barnes, Freddie Barnes and Herbie Barnes, her sisters, Katherine Mann and Charlotte Gullickson, her son in law Joe Baker and her stepson, Jeff Parks.

A memorial service will be held on July 5, 2024, at 2:00 PM at St. Mary Catholic Church, 15 First Ave NE, Deer River, MN. Visitation will be from 1:00 PM to 2:00 PM prior to the service.

The family wishes to extend their heartfelt thanks Abby Gullickson and the Hospice Staff for their compassionate care and support during Marcia's final days.

Benson, Solomon (I80)

Solomon Benson, one of the old and well known residents of Polk township, died at his home 41/2 miles north of town at an early hour Sunday morning Feb. 21, after an illness of less than a weeks' duration. He had not been in good health for several years but had been able to attend to his business affairs and was in town as late as Wednesday of last week. On Thursday he was taken with pneumonia and grew rapidly worse until the end came at the time mentioned in the forgoing. Deceased was born in Ross Co., Ohio, Sept. 20, 1837, and at the time of his death had reached the age of 66 years, 5 months, and 1 day. He first came to Marion Co. with his parents in 1853 but returned to Ohio the same year or the year following, and remained in that state until 1857, when he returned and settled permanently in Polk township, where he has since made his home. On August 15, 1862, he enlisted in Co. A of the 40th Iowa, and served the Union cause honorably and faithfully until discharged from the service on August 18, 1865. On May 7, 1868, he was united in marriage with Miss Catherine Jarman, who with her seven children still survive. The children are W.O. Benson of Harvey, John of Colfax, Dora, now Mrs. Van Haaften, residence 3 miles south of Harvey, Mary, wife of Mell Speed of Union Township, Robert, near Mitchelville, and Elijah and Grover, who reside with their mother on the farm. Besides the above there are 12 grandchildren who called Mr. Benson grandfather. Mrs. Wm. Hyer of Knoxville, Mrs. Mary Leuty near Red Rock and Mrs. Chas. Evans of the Butcher Creek neighborhood, are sisters of the deceased. Mrs. Benson is a sister of J. C. Jarman of this city. Few men in this section could count more firm and steadfast friends than could "Sol" Benson. He was always the same, sick or well, and never allowed himself to say or do anything that would injure another. Those who loved him best, and or his true worth as a man, were those who had known him since he was a boy. He was the first of the immediate family to die. He lived to see all of his children married except one, and until he could count an even dozen grandchildren. These and the other relatives and a host of friends are in sorrow because of his departure from earth. The funeral occurred at the Christian Union church two miles north of town Tuesday afternoon, conducted by Rev. A. H. Loveall of the M. E. church. A year ago he expressed the desire to have the soldier song, "Dropping From The Ranks, One by One," sung at his funeral. That wish was gratified. The interment was in the North Cemetery.

Benson, Solomon (I80)
