 Born Feb. 26, 1833, in union Co. Indiana. Died at 12 o'clock (noon) Tuesday, Aug. 28, 1906, at home of his son A. R. Eikenbary, in the vicinity of Akron, Colorado. The news of William Eikenbary's death caused surprise and sorrow among the people of this county where he had lived for many years prior to locating in Colorado a few years ago. His last illness was the result of overheat while engaged in some light work on the ranch two weeks ago, and his condition soon became so serious that his daughters here were summoned by telegraph and went there in time to be with him in his last days. From the time he was stricken there was but slight prospect for recovery, his age being a factor against him in the battle for life. The remains were brought to Plattsmouth, and at 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon funeral services wereheld in the Presbyterian church in that city, Rev. J. T. Baird officiating, after which the remains were interred in what is known as the Eikenbary cemetery, near Plattsmouth. William Eikenbary was but four years old when his parents moved from Indiana to Iowa, where he grew to manhood. he came to this county May 15, 1856, and for many years he owned and lived on a fine farm three miles northeast of this village, until about five years ago when he sold out here and went to Denver and later located with his son A. R. Eikenbary on a large cattle ranch near Akron, Colorado. Mr. Eikenbary was first married in 1861 at Rock Bluffs to Miss Mary Mccord, whose death occurred in 1876, and of this marriage there are five children as follows: A. R. Eikenbary and Mrs. Charles McNamee of Akron, Col., Mrs. T. W. Swan, Mrs. Jas. Pittman and Mrs Elmer Chapman, of this vicinity. His second marriage was August 29, 1883, to Miss Fannie B. Davis, who survives him. The writer has been intimately acquainted with William Eikenbary for many years and has personal knowledge of his integrity and reputation as an honorable and upright citizen. He was a man of whom all spoke well, and he was always regarded as one of this county's best citizens. The entire community is saddened by his sudden death, and all will join in extending sincere sympathy to the bereaved relatives. On Friday last, Nov. 1st, Mrs. A. R. Eikenbary passed peacefully away from this life. she had been a patient sufferer since early spring and through the constant care and kind attention of friends was enabled to bear with fortitude the illness which bore so heavily upon her. She was cheerful and rational until the last, when finally she gave up to the call of the grim messenger, surrounded by loving ones who had so faithfully ministered to her every want. The funeral was held in the Presbyterian church at 10 o'clock Sunday morning, the services being conducted by Rev. Smith of Nebraska City and Rev. Perry of Dunbar, assisted by Rev. Green of Brownville and Rev. Kirtland of the Baptist church of Union. The floral offerings were very handsome, among the number being a pillow of flowers given by prominent members of the Modern Woodman camp, of which Mr. Eikenbary is a leading member. The remains were placed beside those of her sister, who died several years ago. Below we submit resolutions of respect by the members of the society to which she belonged, being one of its faithful, devoted members: Whereas, Mrs. Anna Eikenbary, wife of Mr. A. R. Eikenbary, a member of the Ladies' Auxiliary of the Cumberland Presbyterian church at Union, Nebraska, has recently been, by the call of the blessed Saviour to whom she had consecrated her life, removed from our midst and promoted to a higher sphere and to a more important work. Therefore resolved, First--That this society has lost one of its best members and one of our most earnest workers for the cause of Christ. Second--That by her death in the prime of life this community has suffered an irreparagle loss. Third--That we hereby express our sincere sorrow that one so young, so useful, so capable of still greater good in the future should be taken away from us. Fourth--That we hereby express our heartfelt sympathy with the sorrowing husband, now deprived of the companionship of one so dearly beloved by him and so worthy of his love, with the bereaved mother who has been called upon to yield her last daughter to the Master's summons, with the brother thus deprived of the association and love of a dear sister, and with all the other relatives whose hearts are so greatly saddened by this mysterious dispensation of the providence of God. Fifth--That a copy of these resolutions be presented to the bereaved husband and to the heartbroken mother, and to all others who may desire it, and also that a copy be furnished to The UnionLedger and the Union Leader for publication.

Eaton, which occurred in Plattsmouth onSept. 26, 1905. After their marriage they lived happily in the pleasant home east of here, joyously contemplating the care of their first-born, but alas, the hope was of brief duration, for the fragile flower was destined to fade away after a few short hours of this life, and the mother yielded up her life without the joy of beholding the face of her little babe. Thus the two lives went out at almost the same hour, making the burden of sorrow one that was indeed a heavy one for Mr. Eaton, deprived of the companionshipof a loving wife and infant daughter. Mrs. Eaton was a lady of kindest disposition, one for whom all her acquaintances had high regard by reason of her admirable qualities. The funeral services were held in the Sciota schoolhouse at 4 o'clock Saturday afternoon, conducted by William A. Taylor of the Baptist church, and many neighbors and friends were present to pay the last tributes of respect to one whom it had been an honor to be numbered as her friend. After the funeral service the remains of the estimable lady, with her infant babe on her arm, were laid to rest in the Eaton cemetery.

The death of Mr. Lynn takes from our midst one of the oldest settlers, and one whose face was familiar to almost every resident of this part of the county. He had been failing in health very rapidly the past year, and it is probable that he would not have survived many months had he escaped the injuries sustained in the runaway on Tuesday prior to his death. On the day of the accident he appeared to be suffering from some ailment and persons who saw him driving homeward observed that his actions were rather peculiar, indicating that he had suddenly become weak mentally and physically. He was unconscious when he was picked up after the accident, and the writer, having assisted in washing his wounds, can say that he remained unconscious and probably did not realize that he was injured. He remained in that condition and continued growing weaker until he ceased to breathe at 8 o’clock Saturday morning. Deceased was born August 11, 1821, on the boundary line between Pennsylvania and Maryland, and remained there until he reached the age of 21, when he started out into the world for himself. He was married to Sarah Truax in 1848, and in 1859 he came to Nebraska, landing at Nebraska City on March 27th. A month later he removed to Fremont county, Iowa, and in February 1860 returned to Nebraska and made his home where he resided until his death. The funeral service was held Monday at 1 o’clock p.m., Rev. A. L. Folden preaching a very appropriate and impressive sermon, taking for his text Romans v., 12. About thirty-five members of the I. O. O. F. attended and conducted their fraternal ceremony, showing their devotion to the deceased brother of their noble order. The procession to the cemetery just west of Union was made up of hundreds of people who had known Grandpa Lynn as a kind friend and a generous neighbor and the writer is one of the many who will remember him as being a good old gentleman of honor and integrity. He leaves a widow and the following children: Barbara, wife of H. F. Taylor; Daniel and Joseph, residing in Union; Andrew, a resident of Ohiowa, Neb.; Mary, wife of A. Johnson, residing near Avoca; Sarah, wife of John Campbell and Susan, wife of Peter Clarence. Chas. L. Graves. RESOLUTIONS OF CONDOLENCE.

Lucy Lloyd, the woman who in a fit of insanity choked her sister Della to death at their home four miles southwest of this village the night of June 30, died at 2 o’clock last Friday afternoon in the asylum at Lincoln, and the remains were brought back last Sunday for interment in the Wyoming cemetery. The Ledger readers will remember the details of the tragedy published in this paper soon after it occurred, and the subsequent removal of Lucy Lloyd to the asylum at Lincoln. The immediate cause of her death was pneumonia, but she was already in a weak condition owing to her persistent refusal to eat or take any kind of nourishment after the night of the tragedy. The remains arrived on the Sunday forenoon train from Lincoln, accompanied by some of her second cousins--the nearest living relatives of the two Lloyd women. The funeral services were held in the Wyoming M. E. church at 1 o’clock Sunday afternoon, a large number of friends and neighbors attending. Rev. J. N. Funk of Union conducted the service, his sermon being based upon I Cor. 15:26, "The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death." The remains were laid to rest in the Wyoming cemetery, the two unfortunate sisters being buried side by side, thus closing a second sad chapter in the tragedy.

W. and Hattie Leach, departed this life Sunday, Dec. 10, 1899, at the age of 3 years and nine months. "Little Mac," as he was familiarly called, was tenderly watched over with anxious care and fond hopes by the parents, brothers and friends for three weeks, and nothing was left undone for his recovery, but suddenly and almost unexpectedly the end came, and we could but sadly bow to the will of Him who doeth all things well. The funeral services were held at the Baptist church Monday at 2 o’clock p.m. by the pastor, and a large concourse of neighbors came and tenderly sympathized with the bereaved family. Little Mac was a bright flower of three summers, but.. Gently and sweetly it faded from earth below, To blossom where flowers eternal grow. Dear one, early thou hast been called to rest; Early gone to dwell with Saints, and blest. Thou hast been called from earthly woe, To where sickness and dying never go. Early to thee we said farewell, But we hope again with thee to dwell. While we mourn and are sore distressed Thou, Little Mac, art leaning on Jesus’ breast. ---- Pastor.

Long, 64, was found in his auto at the farm just east of the village of Murray, the car tightly closed while from a hose attached to the exhaust, the deadly carbon monoxide gas had poured into the car to bring death. Mr. Long has not been feeling the best for some time and his condition had attracted the attention of the friends and especially as he had not started his farm work this spring, although one of the best of farmers in the past years. Wednesday morning Mr. Long was noticed to go to the section of the farm lying south of highway No. 1 running into Murray, by Mrs. Long, but as he had frequently made trips into Murray or to Plattsmouth nothing was thought of the matter until later in the afternoon when his continued absence worried the wife and she had gone to the south side of the farm where a large barn and grove is located and it was back of the barn in the grove that the car and the body of Mr. Long was located. The deceased had evidently planned out the suicide as the car was carefully blocked to prevent it moving and also the windows of the car wired shut to prevent the escape of the gas. Sheriff Joe Mraske and County Attorney Walter H. Smith were called to the scene but as the case was apparently that of suicide, no inquest will be held. Mr. Long is survived by the widow, three sons and three daughters, Joseph, Nebraska City; Robert, in the armed services in the southwest Pacific; Dale, in the U.S. Navy at Norfolk, Virginia; Mrs. Ralph Kennedy, Spokane, Washington; Mrs. John Hobscheidt, Jr., of Iowa and Mrs. Margaret Snyder, at home. Mrs. Ida Frans of this city is a sister. Contact the State Coordinator:Questions or Comments?If you have questions or problems with this site, email the County Coordinator David Gochenour |
