FUNERAL HELD MONDAY FOR JOHN COTTRELL

Was Pioneer Resident Of This Area; Lived At Old Evarts For Time

Requiem mass was held at St. Joseph's Catholic church here Monday morning for John W. Cottrell, 74, retired rancher and a pioneer resident of this area, who died at his home here late Thursday following an illness of several months duration.

Services were conducted by Father Myron Martin, pastor of St. Joseph's church, and interment was made in Greenwood cemetery here with Miles Funeral home in charge of arrangements.

Mr. Cottrell had been a resident of this area since 1903 when he trailed cattle up to Old Evarts -- early day cattle shipping center 10 miles southwest of Mobridge, now extinct -- for the Matador Cattle Co., and was known to stockmen throughout northern South Dakota.

Cottrell was born at Iowa Park, Tex., February 11, 1877. Upon arrival in this area as a young cowhand, he continued to work for cattle companies for a number of years and following the death of Old Evarts, caused by the Milwaukee Railroad extending its line to the new town of Mobridge, he moved to the Bridge City. He was associated with Jim Nichols, another former Old Evarts resident, in the operation of a business here for a number of years, before returning to ranching. He lived at Wakpala for a time and then operated a ranch near Trail City for many years prior to moving back to Mobridge during the early part of World War II.

Survivors include his widow, the former Abigail Claymore of Mobridge, whom he married November 13, 1914; a daughter, Mrs. Johnny (Mattie) Berens of Mobridge; two brothers, Clay of Virginia and Bert of Houston, Tex., and three sisters, Mrs. Ada Harris of Iowa Park, Tex., Mrs. Theo Hodges of San Antonio, Tex., and Maude of Phoenix, Ariz.

A son, Lt. Phillip Cottrell, was killed in an airplane accident in California August 4, 1943. 
Burial16 Apr 1951 He was buried on 16 Apr 1951 at Greenwood Cemetery, Mobridge, Walworth County, SD. The lopcation of the grave was lot 46, block B, grave no. 7.
