Inscription/Marks: [No Heart, Albert Obituary Sioux County Pioneer-Arrow 06-12-1942p01 ]Funeral Services Held for Fort Yates Resident Friday] Funeral services were held at the Congregational church four miles north of Fort Yates on Friday morning of last week for Albert No Heart, who passed away at the local hospital on Wednesday evening, a victim of pneumonia. Reverend Long Elk, of Cannonball, officiated at the services which a large number of relatives and friends attended to pay their last respects to the deceased whose sudden death was a shock to his numerous Fort Yates friends and fellow tribesmen throughout the reservation country. Deceased was 68 years of age at the time of his death and seemed to always enjoy health up to a short time prior to his demise and it is thought that sorrowing for a son, Harry of twenty years, who died on April 16th combined with his illness was beyond stoical Albert’s power to cope with. As if in accord with the spirits of the sorrowing mourners, a leaden sky overhung the G. W. Reed Congregational Cemetery a mile south of Fort Yates as the large gathering stood in bowed head silence while Reverend Long Elk spoke a few sympathetic words to bereaved widow, son Albert, daughter Agnes, friends and other relatives as the remains were placed in their last resting place. Mr. No Heart was a native of this section, a devout churchman, a good father, and a staunch friend, and it is sad, indeed, to record his passing from among our midst. His absence is felt most by those who were nearest him. Being staid in his convictions he was a councilman among his tribesmen whose influence had considerable to do with the molding of the destinies of those among whom it was his fortune to live. But we are mere atoms and we would cope with that beyond our keen in a vain effort to retain that spark called life when the Supreme Being calls us hence. “Rest in Peace.”
