DEATH OF J. F. SCHOMAKEFt
Pioneer Settler of Cass County Residing
Near Nehawka Passed Away Tuesday.
The intelligence of the passing of
another of Cass county's prominent
citizens and early settlers was received
in this city Wednesday, when it was
made known that J. Fred Schomaker,
siding three miles northwest of Ne
hawka, had breathed his last shortly
before i o'clock Tuesdav morning.
The deceased . was one of the best
known and highly respected citizens
of this community, and the news of
his sudden demise was a great shock
to the many friends of the family.
Mr. Schomaker has been suffering
from a disease of the heart for some
time, but his condition was not
thought to be serious until Tuesday
morning when he awoke about 1
o'clock, complaining of a pain in the
side, and in a few hours be expired
from engima pectoris.
The worthy pioneer who has an
swered the last call, was born in IIol
stein, Germany, on the :ilst of Janu"
ary, 119, and located in Cass county
near Nehawka in the year 1G7. There
he has made his home for forty
years rearing a family of six children,
and acquiring considerable worldly
goods. Besides the wife, and children,
whose names are Edwin, Katy, Mary,
Clara, and another daughter, whose
name we could not obtain, three broth
ers Henry of Nehawka, Chris of
Avoca, and Herman of Brewster,
Kan., and two sisters Mrs. Otto
Schacht of Nehawka, and Mrs. Dye of
Oklahoma, survive him.
With regret the Journal chronicles
the demise of one of its faithful pat
rons, and excellent citizens, and dur
ing this sad hour, sympathy is
tendered to the bereaved family.
The funeral will occur from the late
home at 1 o'clock Friday, the services
being conducted by a minister from
Berlin, Neb. Burial will be made m
the German cemetery near Nehawka.
EIGHTY-TWO YEARS OF AGE
Mrs. Caroline Henton Celebrates the Same
at the Home of Mr. and Mrs. W.
F. Gillispie Last Sunday.
One of the most pleasant events of
the season was the celebration of
Grandma Henton 's eighty-second an
niversary at the homeof her daughter,
Mrs. W. F. Gillispie in Mynard, last
Sunday, March 10, 1907.
The occasion was one long to be re
membered by all present and especial
ly was Mrs. Henton happy to be sur
rounded for even one day onlv by so
many of her children and grand child
ren. The day was delightfully spent
in various ways and at the proper hour
they were ushered into the spacious
dining room, there to view a long
table loaded down with many good
things to appease the appetites of all.
And when all were seated around the
table to partake of the excellent re
past, prepared by Mrs. Gillispie, we
are safe in saying all did ample justice
to viands set before them.
Mrs. Henton is the mother of Mrs.
W. F. Gillispie, Mrs. J. II. Adams and
Mrs. J. W. Johnson. The merry throng,
however, was made up of the follow
ing: Mr. and Mrs. J. II. Adams, Mrs.
J. W. Johnson and daughter, Ruth,
Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Bridge and daught
er of Oriert, Oregon, Mr. and Mrs. Joe
Bridge and two sons of Moberly, Mis
souri, and Mrs. Lou Henton and
daughter.
When the parting hour came, it was
the hope of the daughters and grand
children that their dear old mother
might live many years yet to enjoy a
repitition each year, of this grand
event. Mr. and Mrs. Bridge and
daughter of Oregon, left yesterday
(Monday) for Chicago where they will
visit their youngest daughter, who re
sides in in that city. From there they
expect to go to Indiana to visit the
scenes and friends of Mr. and Mrs.
Bridge's early childhood. Mr. and
Mrs. Joe Bridge returned to their
home in Missouri the same day, where
Mr. Bridge occupies the position of
lumber inspector for the Wabash rail
road. The Journal joins Grandma Hen
ton's many friends in the wish that
she may live many years to come and
that each succeeding anniversary may
be celebrated in as happy manner as
that on Sunday last. She is a grand,
good, old lady and is loved and respect
ed by all who know her.
