Pepin, a pioneer resident of this city, died at the Sacred Heart hospital Monday afternoon after a protracted illness from Bright's disease. In an effort to prolong life, an operation was recently performed, but the disease had progressed too far for medical science to be of any avail. Mr. Pepin came to this section in the early '80s, and first located at Fort Benton. Afterward he worked for the Broadwater-McCulloh outfit at Fort Assinniboine. He homesteaded 160 acres in what is now the heart of Havre, his homestead comprising that property now lying south of Third street and east of Fourth avenue.

Surviving the deceased is his wife, Helen Pepin, who is in critical condition and who until yesterday had not been notified of her husband's death. In addition to immediate family, Mr. Pepin is survived by four brothers and one sister. Funeral services were conducted Wednesday morning from the Catholic church and the remains were laid to rest in Calvary cemetery.
