The Event Elaborately Celebrated
Hundreds of Their Friends and Neighbors Gathered to Do
Honor to Two of Our Most Esteemed People.
Tuesday, May 9, will go down in
history as the most memorable
event in the history of the Shrader
family. The occasion being th
golden wedding of Mr. ami Mrs.
George W, Shrader, early pion
eers of Cass county. With the. ex
ception of the high wind which
prevailed, the day was an ideal
one for the celebration. The event
had been planned by the daugh
ters of Mr. and Mrs. Shrader
Mesdames Yard ley, Creamer,
Wolfe, Jennie Ithndcn and Vera
Jlhoden and the large crowd
that bad gathered at the elegant
.Shradcr home to honor their old
neighbors by their presence in as
sisting in the festivities, can bear
witness to the facf that these
plans were successfully carried
out to the Id ler.
Three hundred invilal inns bad
been scut out, and when Ihe
writer, who was favored with a
seat in Altornt-y lKvycr's auto
mobile, with himself and family,
arrived on the ground about. 1 1 :'W
o'clock, the enlire surroundings
presented a most lively appear
ance. The happy expressions on
the faces of Hie groups of neigh
bors and friends of this highly
respected family, denoted that
they were there for the purpose
of expressing their delight to be
honored by an invitation to an
event that was destined to remain
fresh in I heir memories for ages.
The home of Mr. and Mrs.
Shrader is located eleven miles
directly south of i'laltsmoulh and
five miles southeast of Murray,
where they possess a line resi
dence, surrounded by all the com
forts of life, and 100 acres of
the finest land in Cass county, and
at present in the enjoyment of
fairly good health for people of I
their ae. They have live daugh- j
it-i s, wnose names appear above,
who are all married and reside
within a radius of only a few
miles from the home where (liey
were born.
Fifty years ago, on Ihe nth day
of May. 18ii, Miss Isabella
Hutchinson anil lit-orge W.
Shrader were united in marriage
in Livingston county, Missouri,
and soon thereafter came to ("ass
county, where Ibey have resided
ever since and where their family
of five girls and three boys were
born and reared to womanhood
and manhood. Ami strange as it
may seem, but it is nevertheless
true, there has never been a death
in Ihe family, either children or
grand-children. The bride of
fifty years ago was born in Ken
tucky and moved with her par
ents, Mr. and Mrs. Jerry Hutchi
son, to Missouri when but 8 years
of age, and lived there some two
years after their marriage.
George W. Shrader, Ihe groom
of fifllty yeais ago, was boril on
the 7lh day of August, 18.1(5, in
Tazewell county, Yiruinia. where
he lived with his parents until he
was 22 cars of iie, when he
went to Livingston county, Mis
souri in 1858; taught school un
til Ihe outbreak or the civil war.
He enlisted as a volunteer soldier
under General J. Sterling Price,
which was about the 1 51 h day of
June, leaving his young wife at
home with her parents. Was in
Price's first engage n, which
was at Carthage, Missouri, where
they met Seigel nud Solomon.
Then nt Springfield and al Dry
wood, near the border on the
Kansas side; then again at Lex
ington, Missouri. After the battle
of Lexington Price and his army
marched back to Springfield, ami.
owing in the forced inarching
through mud. slush and snow,
coupled with hunger and loss of
Mecp, some of the weaker con
stitutions became unfit fr ,(y
with sickness, and he became one
of Ihe number, having an attack
of the measles. Though feeling
inclined to help man the southern
'hip. Mr. Shrader took a severe
cough and was advised by arm?
doctors to leave the service. He
did so, tlmm; !i be had remained
overtime anyway. He made bis
uny lack to Livingston county.
ly this time the union forces had
possession of the entire north
pj.rt of Missouri, with a militia
pretty well organized, so he found
it necessary to play "hide-and-M
ek" till it became mostly hide.
Hut as lime went on he became
more careless and was si dm ap
j.rehended by the said mi,;! in,
and somehow or ether I bey did
not seem to appreciate Mr. Sbrad-
at Their Palatial Home, Where
er's views, so they took him to
Chillocothe and there they had
him banished, giving him twenty
days to leave the stale and to go
to some other free slate or ter
ritory, there to remain during the
rebellion. Otherwise they treated
him fine. He came to Nebraska,
where he has made bis home ever
since, and expects to remain until
the final call to pass over to Ihe
fireat Jleyond.
The gathering was a great af
fair. The table, which was erect
ed on the fine lawn, shaded by
mammoth oak trees, would seat
nearly fifty persons at a time.
This was tilled four times, besides
many present were fed while seat
ed near (.he table on Ihe lawn, and
if anyone went away hungry it
was their own fault. There was
everything to eat (bat woman or
man could think of, ami in reality
lilted for kings or queens, or any
of (he best people on earth, and
in plenty and to spare.
After all had been served of Ihe
delicious viand,, the crowd was
placed in position for In'mmie
Iliad to take a picture of the
group, Previous to Mr. Iliad's
shot, Attorney Ilwycr appeared
upon the scene and in a very neat
and appropriate little speech pre
sented Mr. Shrader with a fine
gold-headed cane, and Mrs.
Shrader with a solid gold thimble.
The.se articles were simply tokens
of esteem in which this worthy
couple were held by those who
have know n I hem so long and so
well. And we desire to say right
here that we had to Qght hard and
long to get them to consent to ac
cept these gifts of esteem. Not
only were Mr. and Mrs. Shrader
averse to accepting anything in
the present line, but the daugh
ters were very much opposed to
such a thing, but they were finally
prevailed upon to withdraw their
opposition.
After Mr. Dwycr's presentation
s ch, Mr. Palmer, the Neliawka
postmaster, appeared upon the
scene, and in behalf of the Ma
sonic bulge of Nehawka, of which
Mr. Shrader is a member, pre
sented biiii with a handsome lodge
apron and a gold coin, em
blamelic of the order. After Mr.
Palmer's peerh Mr. Iliad took
several flints at Ihe assembly,
when the crowd began lo wend
I heir w ay homew ard, after bidding
Mr. and Mrs. Shrader farewell,
with Hie hope that they may live
many vears longer lo enjoy the
well earned rest (hey have work
ed hard for so many years lo re
tain. We doubt very much if there
was ever held in Cass county such
an extensive demonstration of
esteem, and lo pay tribute to a
more worthy couple than Mr. and
Mrs. Shrader, and I hey should
certainly rest peacefully the bal
ance of their days in the thought
that Ihey have so many true ami
warm friends and neighbors and
surrounded as they are by the
families of five daughters and
Ihree sons, namely: Mr. and Mrs.
Yardley. Mr. and Mrs. Creamer,
Mr. and Mrs. Wolfe, the two Mes
dames lthodens, J. 1)., Robert and
Homer Shrader.
The writer is glad tie attended
this magnificent affair, as it was
one. of the most enjoyable events
we have ever had Ihe pleasure of
partaking, and in conclusion we
desire to thank every one of the
daughters, as well as Mr. and
airs. Mirader, for the many
courtesies extended. May heaven'
choicest blessings rest upon every
one of them, and may their dear
old rather and mother live manv
years (o make their home-coming
a pride and pleasure, is the prayer

Wyede Hutchison, who wit
nessed the marriage of Mr. and
Mrs. Shrader fifty years ago, was
present on (his occasion.
Mark White was there in the
heighth of his glory, and in the
Hill enjoyment or (he occasion.
Mr. A. L. Folden of Nebraska
City was (here to enjoy the event.
Mr. Folden is 87 years of age and
a very early pioneer of Cass coun
ty. He was proprietor of the
Fnion mills, located on Ihe Weep
ing Water,, near the (own of
Fnion. long before thai place was
ever thought of.
Nehawka was well represented.
Among those present were our old
friend, J. M. Stone. Mr. and Mrs.
1). C. West, Mr. and Mrs. Frank
Sheldon, Mr. and Mrs. A. E. Kirk-
J Patrick. John Wumlerlich ami
Jolliers whose names have slipped
; our memory.
The roads were a lillle roiign
in places, caused, of course, from
the receut rains. The smoothest
ami llnest piece of road we saw on
the way down was about half a
mile or so in front of George
Hay's place. It is no (rouble to
run an auto on such roads, and
we have wondered why it is not
possible to have all the roads in
such fine shape. v
Nearly all the pioneer residents
of Rock Iiluffs and vicinity were
there to enjoy the golden wedding
of the couple Ihey have been as
sociated with for so many years.
Among those present from
Murray we noticed Mr. and Mrs.
J. A. Walker, Mr. and Mrs. Old
ham, Dr. and Mrs. R. K. Hrcndell,
J. H. Keybold, Mr. and Mrs. A.
Hast, Mr. and Mrs. F. S. Young,
Mrs. Adda Stokes, Mr. and Mrs.
D. A. Young and others.
It would be impossible foe us to
try to publish the names of all
who were there to partake in the
great, event. There was at least
.'()() present, not counting the
children. It was certainly a ren
letter day at the Shrader home.
Among those present from
I'll i ii we noticed Hob Frans, V.
C. Cross and their wives.
Jtald heads were very much in
evidence, and when Ihe picture
was taken Ihey were grouped to
gether. II was unanimously de
cided that Dave West of Nehawka
had less hair on his head ihun
anyone in the crowd.
Among those present from
Plaltsmoulh were D. O. Pvvyer

Positively Assured This Branch
of the Burlington Shops Will
Not Go to Havelock.
It has been rumored for some
lime that the liurlington brass
foundry was to be removed to
Havelock. This may have been
the intention, but if it was it has
disappeared, for this morning we
were shown a letter to T. II. Pol
lock, president of the Commercial
club, in answer to a letter he had
written direct to headquarters in
regard to this rumor.
There it was stated in black and
white by the highest authority
that at one time they had contem
plated removing this department
of the shops to Havelock, but that
they had since concluded that the
brass foundry wilj remain right
here in Plattsmouth. This in
formation should certainly make
all those who are interested in our
city feel good. And still there are
people in this city who have no
failh in Commercial clubs. And
when Ibey learn (he facts in Ihe
case it will be to learn that it was
through the efforts of the Com
mercial club ollicials that this
change in former intentions of
the company were made, and the!
brass foundry will remain here.!
The following is an extract
from the e ler received by Mr. T.
II. Pollock, president of the Com
mercial club, from Mr. II. K.
Myram, vice president of the Ibir
linglon system:
"The building of our new shops
at Havelock has left a building
available in which to install I lie
brass foundry, and that had been
our intention all along since we
first began to enlarge the shops
at Havelock, but in view of your
request, and Hie importance to
Platlsmoulh of retaining the
plant at that place, we have de
cided lo give up the advantages lo
Ihe company that, would be de
rived from the removal of the
brass foundry to Havelock and let
il remain at Plaltsmoulh."

LITTLE eOY RUN OVER
ftND SERIOUSLY INJURED
The Accident Seems to Have Been
Purely Accidental, and No
Bones Were Broken.
From W'eclni'xdiiy'M Daily.
Glen, the little 5-year-old son
or Mr. and Mrs. C. II. Lewis, re
siding across the road north of
Ihe county house, while returning
from school last evening was run
over and quite badly bruised by a
team and light wagon driven by a
farmer. The little fellow was with
other children older than himself
and was held by the hand by bis
larger sisler, who had to release
her hold of his hand to prevent
injury by one of the horses to
herself.
The accident occurred on the
level strip or road in the hollow
north ot Ihe new cemetery and
presumably at a narrow strip of
road. The team was going at a
slow trot and the little shaver was
either struck in (he head with the
neckyoke or by a knee of one of
Ihe horses, as there was a large
knot on his forehead. No bones
were broken. In addition to the
bruises received the lad was bad
ly frightened and it is very for
tunate for him that he was not
struck by a wheel or hoof of the
horses.
Mr. Lewis is very indignant and
will endeavor to ascertain the
name of Ihe driver, as he has a
good description of the team, be
will probably have Utile, dilTleulty
in locating the man.

TELOPHONE
In telephone affairs, as in every other business, the
personal element must be considered. You are human,
and the person with whom you talk as well as the op
erator who connects you are human.
The hastily spoken word and its inflection, no mat
ter whats its provocation, conveys an undesirable im
pression. ' Courteons talk over the telephone is like oil
on machinery it prevents friction and pays big returns.
Our operators are required to be brief, but polite un
der all circumstances. They are instructed not to an
swer any complaints or carry on any conversation.
Their whole time is taken up in executing orders for
connections.
In dealing with you we try to be forbearing, con
siderate and courteous, realizing that the wire between
us take none of the sting out of unkind words. Our
operators try to treat you as they would face to face;
won't you afford them and the persons with whom you
talk the same consideration?

days' visit with his daughter and

ting along nicely in their new
home, located on one of the pret
tiest farms in the state . .of Ne
braska, belonging to Henry Horn
of. west of Plattsmouth. Crops
are beginning to look fine after
Ihe disappearance of the heavy
snow.
Mr. Meisinger is sure in love
with northern Nebraska, and
especially the little city of Pain
view, where he visited with the
many former Plattsmouth and
Cass county people, anions; whom
were Fred F.binger and' Hans Coos,
Hie former conducting a hirdwui-e

both doing fine. While in that
locality Mr. Meisinger found
three farms that he is thinking
very seriously of buying after
harvest time., and if he does his
future home will be made in
Plainview. It will be all right for
Mr. Meisinger lo buy these farms,
