paper not named, no date
Susan E. Everett was born Sept. 25, 1881,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Everett jr. She was married May
30, 1900, to Geo. L. Brinton. Died Saturday, March 1, 1902,
at 4 o'clock a. m., at the home northeast of Union.
On February 11 a little
daughter came to brighten the home, but the fond mother was
destined to enjoy the blessing only a short time, her
constitution not being sufficiently strong to enable her to
recover. For only a few days was she permitted to be with her
little one, when the Maker summoned the mother to a home free
from the troubles and sorrows of this life. The funeral
services were held in Mount Hope church Sunday at 11:30 a.
m., conducted by Elder C. H. Porter of Wilber, and many
sympathizing friends and neighbors were present to pay a last
tribute of respect as the remains were consigned to their
last earthly resting place in Union cemetery northeast of
here.
Deceased was born a few
miles east of this village, and grew from infancy in that
vicinity. Her kind disposition as a child and amiable manners
as she grew older are the qualities that characterized her
life and won for her the love and esteem of all her
associates. The people the whole neighborhood express the
most sincere sympathy for the bereaved husband and parents
and for the little child that will never know the worth of a
mother's love and kind directions through life.

A telegram was received here by relatives
stating that Joseph Beaudett died Tuesday evening at his home
near Bancroft, and although but meager report could be had,
we understand that his death was the result of heart disease
and that he had been sick about two weeks with other
ailments. He and his family were residents of this vicinity
for a number of years, moving to Thurston county about nine
years ago. Mr. Beaudett was a member of the M. W. A. lodge at
this place many years, and was always known as an excellent
neighbor and citizen. His daughter, Mrs. James Wilson, left
for Bancroft Wednesday to attend the funeral.

Last Sunday Paul Bails,
who had been working for Will Taylor, was drowned about 1
o'clock in a pond near Virgil Rose's place southeast of
town. Mr. Taylor brought the news to town as soon as possible
and sent messages to the young man's brothers. Many people
from town and surrounding country were soon at the scene of
the accident and at once began searching for the body. It was
finally located, and Al Hathaway dove to the bottom and
hauled the body to the surface and it was carried upon the
bank and dressed, then brought to town and cared for in the
Woodman lodge room until time for burial next day.
On the day of the sad
accident Paul had requested several to go swimming with him
and Virgil Rose and Mark Freeman finally consented, swimming
across the pond with Paul following them. When they reached
the shore they noticed that he was sinking and endeavored to
save him. Mark got hold of him, but had to let him go, but
not until he saw that he must do so or both of them would be
drowned.
Paul H. Bails was born in
September, 1878, in Harrison county, Mo., being nearly
twenty-two years of age at the time of his death. His parents
now reside at Weatherford, Oklahoma, and four brothers,
Joseph, Edward, William and Ross, live in this county and in
Iowa, and were here in time for the funeral. Paul became a
member of the Presbyterian church about six months ago, and
endeavored to follow its teachings.
The funeral service was
held in the Woodman hall at 10 o'clock a. m. Monday,
conducted by Rev. David Fetz, after which a large number of
sympathizing friends followed the remains to their last
resting place in the cemetery, northeast of Union. Abundance
of flowers covered the casket, and the pall bearers were Wes
Clark, Amos McNamee, P. E. Surface, E. A. Fletcher, Fred
Clark, and C. Graves.
The relatives request us
to say that they appreciate the many acts of kindness and the
generosity of the people of this neighborhood, and desire to
extend to them their sincere thanks.

Obituary of Honorable Evander W. Barnum,
no name of the newspaper or date of publication
HON. EVANDER W. BARNUM.
[NOTE: This is a transcription of an article pasted
in the clippings file of Dr. Gilmore. Part of the article was
missing]
Born September 28, 1826, in Oswego county, N. Y. Died at
3:33 ?. m., Monday, December 26, 1898, at the home near
Union, Neb.
This sad occurrence causes sorrow not alone in the home
thus left desolate, not alone in the vicinity, but throughout
Cass county and eastern Nebraska, so well have the people
known and loved Evander W. Barnum. Back in the boyhood home
the news of his death will cause sorrow among those whom he
knew as playmates many years ago, but who are now nearing
that shore to which the Spirit of this good old gentleman has
been borne.
Deceased had been afflicted with lung trouble the past two
years and gradually lost the vitality that was sustaining
him, but on Nov. 27 he found the ailment was a greater burden
than he could carry, and he sought his bed and calmly awaited
the summons which he realized was certainly coming to his
relief, and when that summons came it found a good, Christian
soul ready and willing to respond. The funeral service was
held at the residence at 12 o'clock on Wednesday,
conducted by Rev. H. B. Burgess of Plattsmouth, and the
sermon was one of such feeling and yet such simple eloquence
that many an aged cheek plainly indicated the effects of the
minister's language and the sorrow at parting with one so
beloved by Cass county pioneers. After the funeral service a
long and sad procession wended its way to the cemetery near
Wyoming church, and there had already congregated many who
desired to pay the last [respects?] to their departed friend.

and the [casket was] placed in the vault, [ torn away] hidden

1899
OBITUARY.
Mrs. Emily Brosius.
The death of Mrs. Brosius occurred at 10 o'clock p.m.
on Thursday, March 2, 1899, at the home of her brother, L. B.
Brown, about ten miles northeast of Union, at what was once
the town of Kenosha. At the time of her death her age was 67
years, 3 months, 18 days, and had been a resident of Nebraska
since 1854, coming from Indiana to this state. Since the
death of her husband a number of years ago she has made her
home with her children and brother, for whom she always
showed a most affectionate attachment, and her death causes
deep sorrow among the many friends who realize that her place
among them is forever vacant. The writer knew Mrs. Brosius
many years, and can sympathize with the relatives in the
death of a noble woman whose aim in life was to be honorable
and upright and to promote happiness in every household she
visited.
The funeral service was conducted by Rev. Howell Smith on
Sunday, March 5, at 1 o'clock p. m., after which a large
concourse of sympathizing friends followed the remains to the
last earthly home in the Kenosha cemetery. Her children who
mourn the loss of a kind mother are Frank Brosius of Omaha,
Mrs. John Corey of Plattsmouth, Mrs. Delaware Mann of Onawa,
Ia.
OBITUARY.
------------------
HON. JOHN F. BUCK
The sad accident last Friday morning, which resulted in
the death of that venerable gentleman, Hon. John F. Buck, was
one of the most sorrowful that has been our lot to record.
Although past eighty-six years of age, he looked forward to a
few more years of enjoyment, and at the time of the accident
he was on his way to the old settlers' re-union, a
celebration in which he had always had [sic] been a
prominent participant. His son Theodore Buck was driving and
his aged parents occupied seats in the carriage. When near
the cemetery the team became frightened, and as they dashed
along the road the carriage was overturned, throwing the
occupants out. Grandpa Buck was found to be seriously
injured, and he was taken home and medical assistance was
called as quickly as possible, but Dr. Wallace saw at once
that the injuries would prove fatal, and telegrams were sent
to distant relatives. Mr. Buck suffered much pain, and his
advanced age and feeble condition made his struggle for life
one in which he could not conquer, and at 8:05 Sunday morning
he fell asleep to wake no more.
Deceased was born May 31,
1815, in Cayuga county, New York, and was married Nov. 5,
1839, to Mary F. Shryder, at Peoria, Ill. They came to this
state in May 1855, at which time Mr. Buck pre-empted the land
upon which they have ever since made their home. He took a
prominent part in all affairs of this county, and was a
member of the first territorial legislature, in which body he
was quite influential. He was a kind Christian man, having
been a member of the Presbyterian church for more than forty
years past, and was universally known as a man of strict
integrity and honesty, one whose influence was always for the
advancement of morality and for the happiness of his
fellowmen. By his death the community has lost one of the
best citizens, and the vacancy in the family circle is one
that causes deepest sorrow among the relatives.
The funeral was held at
the Buck home at 3 o'clock Wednesday afternoon, Rev.
Baird of Plattsmouth conducting the services. The sermon was
brief, but nevertheless it was very impressive and
re-produced the exemplary life and honest endeavors of the
deceased, and pictured the reward gained by men who live as
did our venerable friend John F. Buck. Many friends assembled
at the home to honor the beloved pioneer, and the long
procession to the cemetery was a tribute to the honor of the
deceased. The remains were laid to rest in the cemetery a
short distance from where he had made his home for so many
years and near where the fatal accident occurred. The
pall-bearers were pioneer friends of the deceased -- Henry
Wolfe sr, Charles Swan, J. W. Pittman, L[arkin] G. True, P.
C. Engell and W. B. Davis.

Obituary of Mary (Moy) Goetz
Mrs. H. Goetz died at her home, Elmwood, Tuesday
afternoon of Bright's disease. German Evangelical church
services, [held] Thursday afternoon. [Interred] Elmwood
Cemetery.
THE ELMWOOD LEADER-ECHO Friday, April 22, 1910 19:37 p4.
Mary Goetz nee Moy, wife of Rev. H. Goetz, was born November
19, 1863, near Alma, Buffalo county, Wis., and died safely in
the arms of Jesus April 19, 1910, in Elmwood, Nebr., aged 46
years and 5 months.
She was united in holy wedlock with her now sorrowing husband
April 6, 1885. God blessed this union with eight children, of
whom one died in infancy. In March, 1894, Rev. Goetz and
family came from Wisconsin to the Nebraska conference of the
German Evangelical Association, in which the now sainted
sister under the submission of the will of God, shared with
her husband the joys and sorrows of an itinerant preacher.
Two years ago the family came into our midst, where the Lord
called Mrs. Goetz into her eternal rest. She was converted in
early youth, became a member of the Evangelical Association,
and served God and the church faithfully until her peaceful
end.
The cause of death was Bright's disease in connection with
heart trouble and dropsy, of which she suffered greatly for
over five months. She was resigned to the will of God, was
not only ready but willing to go into the presence of her
Master. When she was asked by one of the ministers, "Are you
ready to die," she answered, "Yes I am ready to die, for it
is best to go home to my eternal rest, and the Lord will
provide for my family; His will be done." Now is her wish
fulfilled; she is at home now near her Lord, who has redeemed
her from all pain. She has left to mourn her departure, her
deeply grieved husband, three sons and four daughters, to
whom she was a good and kind wife and mother. Besides these
she leaves four brothers, two sisters,one stepbrother, five
stepsisters, and many other relatives to mourn her departure,
but with the blessed hope to meet again in Heaven. At the
funeral Rev. H. Sohl, of Fremont, Neb., spoke in German, and
Rev. F. H. Doescher, of Milford, and Rev. Woodcock, of
Elmwood, in English. Revs. A. Brauechle, of Murdock, H.
Wegner, of Omaha, A. Wichman, of Ithaca, and F. Backemeyer,
ofElmwood, participated also in the service. A great number
of friends had gathered into the church which was beautifully
decorated by the young people to pay her their last
respect.
"You are at Home, your ship is in the Heaven,
A better fatherland, is now your share,
Through blood redeemed, as one of God's beloved ones,
You are an heir, of that eternal rest."

CARD OF THANKS.
We herewith heartily thank our friends and neighbors who so
kindly assisted us in the long illness, and also for the

Lord richly reward you.

Thomas M. Beck Railroad Worker, Takes Own Life
Thomas M. Beck, World
War I vbeteran and employee of the Burlington shops here for
more than 35 years, was found dead at his room at Hotel
Plattsmouth early Tuesday morning, April 29. He had
apparently committed suicide.
His body was discovered
about six o'clock Tuesday morning by M. H. Hobbs, hotel
clerk, who checked the locked room after Mr. Beck had not
been seen for nearly 48 hours.
Sheriff Tom Solomon who
investigated the suicide, said Beck had tied a sash cord
around his neck and the head of the bed railing. He strangled
himself by leaning into the rope, according to the sheriff.
He had probably been dead for at least 12 hours. Solomon said
that two earlier attempts by Beck to take his own life had
apparently failed. A broken belt and broken sash cord were
found in the room.
Hotel Clerk Hobbs told
the sheriff that Beck had answered a call early Monday
morning but that the door had been locked when a maid sought
to clean the room later that morning.
A native of
Fredricktown, Mo., Beck was born January 2, 1889. He spent
his youth in Missouri and came to Plattsmouth in 1916, where
he was employed by the Burlington. He enlisted in the army
during the first World War, later returning to BREX shops
here. He had been in ill health for the past two years and
had been generally inactive since last October. He was a
member of the American Legion.
Surviving are two
brothers, Otto and John of Fredrecktown, Mo.; and three
sisters, Mrs. Elizabeth Budenholzer and Mrs. Anna Wengler of
Fredricktown and Mrs. Theresa Gillard of St. Louis.
