Former Le Sueur Boy Dies Suddenly
Word was received here a few days ago announcing the death of a former Le Sueur boy, Frank D. Bangs of Rapid City, South Dakota. Mr. Bangs was stricken while at his office and was taken home under the care of a physician where he died shortly afterward. He was 57 years of age.
Funeral services were held on Thursday, December 26th, at the First Congregational church of that city.
Born in Le Sueur on June 19th, 1878, Frank D. Bangs lived here until 1889 when the Bangs family moved to Rapid City. Receiving his education there, he began practicing law in 1900 with his father A. W. Bangs. Later he became associated with Turner Rudesill who came into the office in 1921.

JUDGE FRANK D. BANGS.
Frank D. Bangs, judge of the county court and a well known attorney of Rapid City, successfully practicing with a large and distinctively representative clientage, was born in Le Sueur, Minnesota June 19, 1878. His father, Judge Alfred W. Bangs, a native of Pennsylvania, went to Minnesota in pioneer days and was there residing upon the frontier at the time of the New Ulm Indian massacre. In 1882 he removed to North Dakota, and in February, 1889, arrived in Rapid City. He has figured prominently in connection with the public life and
interests of the state. He served as a member of the first state senate representing Pennington county and he was one of the prominent lawyers of the state. In Minnesota he sat upon the bench of the county court and for two terms he was county judge of Pennington county. He likewise filled the office of states attorney for two terms and was widely recognized as an able, conscientious and distinguished lawyer and jurist. Therefore, in his death, which occurred in March 1904, the
state lost one of its representative and valued citizens.
Judge Alfred W. Bangs married Miss Sarah Plowman, who was a native of Canada and was of Irish parentage. They had a family of five sons and one daughter, all of whom are yet living. Tracy R., now a resident of Grand Forks, North Dakota, was for two years grand supreme chancellor of the Knights of Pythias, the highest office in the gift of the order. He is also an able lawyer and for two terms has served as
states attorney. George A., likewise an able member of the bar, has
filled the office of states attorney for two terms and for one term was city attorney of Grand Forks, North Dakota. Helen is the wife of Joseph P. Buck, now of Filer, Idaho. Stein, of Beebe, Montana, is the owner of a cattle ranch and is also a civil engineer who for two terms has served as county surveyor. He was likewise professor of physics and civil engineering in the State School of Mines for several years.
Eugene L. is engaged in the automobile business and was formerly
sheriff of Pennington county.
Frank D. Bangs, who completes the family, was educated in the public schools of Rapid City, mastering the branches in successive grades until he became a high-school pupil. He afterward studied law in his father's office and after a thorough course of preliminary reading was admitted to the bar in October, 1902. He at once joined his father in practice and so continued until the latter's death in 1904. He has since practiced alone and has enjoyed a good clientage, for the public
recognizes his ability to successfully conduct intricate and involved
cases. His devotion to his clients, interests is proverbial, yet he
never forgets that he owes a still higher allegiance to the majesty of
the law. He is now acceptably serving as county judge.
On the 24th of December, 1902, Judge Bangs was married to Miss Della Garlick, a daughter of William and Helen M. (Hardy) Garlick, of Rapid City. They have three children, Maud Lura, Claude Eugene and Clarence. In politics Judge Bangs is a democrat. Fraternally he is an Elk. He has by sheer merit established himself as one of the leading lawyers of the South Dakota bar and has participated in most of the important litigation heard in the western section of the state in recent years.
