Funeral services in charge of Rev. C. E. Haynes assisted by Rev. Harold Clark, were held Sunday afternoon at 2:30 p.m. in the Little Prairie church for Mrs. Rosa Swartwoudt, a life-long resident of Forest and Bridgewater townships. Mrs. Swartwoudt passed away early Friday morning, Nov. 8, 1946, following a six month's illness at the home of her son and daughter-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Allen Swartwoudt in this community. Rosa Thielbar was born May 16, 1863, in the Circle Lake community where she attended rural school. She often recalled the fact that her father, A. F. Thielbar, joined the Union Army and entered the Civil War. He returned and claimed the distinction of having "kept store" for 50 years in the village of Dundas where his daughter continued her schooling and where she was organist of the Methodist Church for several years. In that church she was married to Cassius Swartwoudt on Nov. 22, 1882. After brief residence in nearby communities Mr. and Mrs. Swartwoudt purchased the farm in Forest township where the family resided for 48 years. To this union six children were born: Herbert, Cassius, Ethel (Mrs. Ethel Jorve), Allen, Errol and Rose (Mrs. Clifford Jones), Mr. Swartwoudt passed away several years ago as did a son Herbert and two grandchildren, Merle and Noel Jones. Others surviving are 13 great grandchildren and one sister, Mrs. Anna Grau of Beloxi, Miss. After her husband's death, Mr. Swartwoudt remained on the home place, busying herself with gardening, rug making, piecing of quilts and the culture of house plants and garden flowers. She was a member of the local Methodist church and the WSCS, who in honor of the loss of its oldest member, attended the funeral in a body. Her life was marked by service and her kindly deeds will live on in the memories of both the family and a host of friends. Pallbearers were five grandsons and one grandson-in-law, Lloyd Swartwoudt, Maynard Jones, Floyd Swartwoudt, Roy Jones, Harold Jorve and Paul Houston. Interment was in the family lot in the Cannon City cemetery. Those from away attending the last rites were Mrs. Ethel Jorve and son Harold of Jamestown, North Dakota; Mr. and Mrs. John Hustedt of St. Paul, Mr. and Mrs. Paul Houston of Minneapolis, Roy Jones of Northfield and Maynard Jones of Minneapolis.

DUNDAS BALL CLUB

Although ballgames in Dundas have been played at the Memorial Field site for many years, the first ballparks were elsewhere. There was a park west of the bars, past the present Palen farm. There may also have been a field east of town, between Highway 3 and Dundas. However, for much of the twentieth century, ballgames were played in Paul Thielbar's pasture, on the current site of Memorial Field. On October 10, 1950, the Village of Dundas officially purchased the field from Mr. And Mrs. Thielbar for the princely sum of $2,500. This piece of property, dubbed Memorial Field, has been the official home of the Dundas teams ever since.

The Dundas Baseball Association was officially incorporated on October 25, 1950. The original members were: Leonard Quist, President; A.H. Bickel, Vice-President; George Harris, Secretary & Treasurer; R. H. Ames, George Butterfield; and Ralph Drentlaw. All of them were from Dundas.

In the 1970's, several improvements were made to Memorial Field including concrete dugouts, a primitive concrete grandstand, and toilets. In 1990, the current grandstand was constructed, along with the concession stand area. Lights were added in 1992, and the new scoreboard arrived in 1997. It remains one of the better scoreboards in the state of Minnesota. The warning track was added in 1999.
