James E. Trennum

June 20, 1860 ~ August 26, 1921

James Trennum, another of the old timers stricken with cancer, passed away at his home in Langdon last Friday morning, August 26, 1921 after everything possible had been done to save his life.  He had not felt well for a considerable length of time and during the last days of July was taken to Grand Forks for treatment and for an operation.

  An operation was performed for other troubles than the cancer but the physicians found that nothing could be done with the cancer as it had then reached a stage that was known to be fatal to the patient.  He was kept in Grand Forks for a few weeks and then sent home to be cared for until the end by the members of the family.

  Upon reaching home about two weeks ago, he was able to walk a little and for a number of days was able to sit in the yeard and visit with friends and the member fo the family. He then weakened rapidly and passed away.

  James Trennum was born in Peterborough, Ontario, on June 20, 1860, and on December 29, 1886 married Phoebe Skinner, who still survives. Their children living were all at home at the time of his death and are: Mrs. Ida LeBar of Stephem, Minnesota, Georgiana, Harold, Eva, Allie and Mrs. Frank McCambridge of Langdon. He also has a brother living at Buffalo, New York, and a sister in New York state.

  Mr. Trennum and family came to this state in 1891 and home-steaded on land northeast of Langdon in Harvey Township.  Later they moved to a farm near Dresden and then moved to Langdon about twelve years ago. He joined the Modern Woodmen of America many years ago and at the time of his death held a policy for $2000 in that company.

  The funeral services were conducted from the church in Harvey Centre on Sunday afternoon at three o’clock by Rev. W. C. Faucette and were attended by a large number of friends from Langdon and from the Harvey neighborhood, as well as many of the members of the Modern Woodmen of the local camp.  Interment was made in the family lot in Harvey Township Cemetery where two children, who died a number of years ago are interred. Cavalier County Republican, Sept. 1, 1921.
