Plantz 31 March 1872 at Owatonna, Steele Co., MN. Their children were; Henry Edward, Ernest Edwin, Frank Eugene, Jessie Elida, Bertha "Birdie" Eva, Florence "Flossie, & Esther "Essie" Ethyl. ********** MELVIN A. LEE, OLD RESIDENT OF CITY, DIES Melvin A. Lee, jailer at the Burleigh County jail for the past 14 years passed away at a local hospital this morning at 1 o'clock after an illness of eleven days. Mr. Lee, who was 70 years of age, was seized with an attack of heart trouble at the beginning of his illness but changed quickly into pneumonia, and his decline was rapid. Mrs. Lee, who was visiting with a daughter in Detroit, Mich., was called home immediately. She has been at his bedside after the first few days of his illness. Mr. Lee was born in Janesville, Ohio, May 23, 1852, accompanied his family to Wisconsin in 1961, and moved to Minnesota shortly after the Civil War. While living in this state he married Miss Maria Plantz. In 1880 Mr. Lee and his family moved to South Dakota where they lived until 15 years ago when they came to Bismarck. By trade Mr. Lee was a carpenter, and for a number of years helped in construction work on the Northern Pacific railroad. While living in Northfield, Minn., he was appointed temporary deputy sheriff to guard the Younger Bros., notorious bandits of the Civil War period. Mr. Lee leaves a wife and seven children and many grandchildren to mourn his death. His three sons are H. E. Lee, of Rapid City, S. D., F. E. Lee, Greenwood, Neb., E. E. Lee, of the city, and four daughters, Mrs. Charles Icenoggle of the city, Mrs. Sidney Elliott of Detroit, Mich., Mrs. Charles Seely of the city, and Mrs. William M. Crume of Glyndon, Minn. Mr. Lee had maintained his place as jailer when all other attches changed with the election of a new sheriff. He was very much devoted to his duties and even during his illness worried over the care of the jail and the courthouse. Funeral services will be held at the Baptist church, at a time not yet fixed, with the Rev. L. R. Johnson officiating. The Bismarck Tribune, Monday, October 9, 1922, Page 8.
