PLATTSMOUTH SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL.
THE LATE MRS.
EMMA LORENZ
OF QDELL NEB-
Wife of W. J. Lorenz, Who Formerly
Resided in Plattsmouth and Has
Brothers llere.
From Saturday's Dally.
A few days ago the Journal was
called upon to chronicle the death of
Mrs. W. J. Lorenz at the hospital in
Beatrice, and to the friends of the
family this news was most sorrowful
and the sympathy of the many friends
here went out to the bereaved hus
band, who for a number of years was
a resident of Plattsmouth, being en
gaged in business with his brothers,
L. W. and E. A. Lorenz, in their meat
market and grocery. The Odell, Ne
braska. Wave, in speaking of the
death of this estimable lady, pays the
following tribute to her memory and
expresses the feelings of the com
munity in Which she has made her
home:
"Mrs. Emma Lorenz was born Jan
uary 11, 1SS2, near Odell, and depart
ed this life Saturday, April 29, 1916,
aged 34 years, o months and 18 days,
death occurring in a hospital in Be
atrice where she had been taken for
treatment. Her death came as a
shock to her many friends who were
not ware that she was ill. After a
consultation of physicians.it was de
cided to remove her to a hospital and
there an operation was advised and
performed Saturday morning. She
died Saturday evening and her re
mains arrived in Odell Sunday.
"Of a quiet and unassuming dispo
sition, her friends, who were legion,
attested their admiration of her noble
character by giving her one of the
largest funerals ever held in Odell,
which was a fitting tribute of loyal
friendship.
"Sh'e is survived by her devoted hus
bandi W. J. Lorenz, one of our promi
nent business men. and fo whom she
was married June 14. 1911, in Omaha,
her mother, Mrs. Josephine Pribyl,
thre sisters, Mary, Anna and Rosy,
and seven brothers. Joseph, James,
Albert, Frank, William, Milton and
George, all of whom have the sym
pathy of the community in their hour
of trouble. She is mourned also by a
ho.-t of friends and relatives, who val
ued her influence although performed
in a quiet way.
"She was loved by all who knew her
and will be missed as one of that
grand army whose deeds are not bla
zoned before the public, but confined
to the quiet offices of a loving wife, a
willing helpmate, and a true friend.
Her interests were thc.se of her hus
band's, her aspirations, reward, not
hero but hereafter. She has laid up
for herself 'treasures in Heaven
where neither the rust nor the moth
consume.'
"She was buried from St. Mary's
church Wednesday at 10 a. m., with
solemn requiem high mass. Rev. J.
Lawrence O'Donnell sang the mass,
assisted by Very Rev. E. Boll of Be
atrice as deacon, Rev. A. Moslcr of
Crete as subdeacon, and Rev. D
Cronin of Wymore as master of cere
monies. Rev. A. Downey of Blooming
ton and Rev. Kopecky of DeWeese,
were present in the sanctuary. After
the mass, Rev. E. Boll performed the
absolution of the body according to
the ritual of her church, which was
followed by a sermon on death by
Father O'Donnell.
"With due solemnity she was in
terred in St. Mary's cemetery where
all joined irrespective of creed or de
nomination, irt storming the high
Heaven with heartfelt prayer and
wish that the merciful God shall ad
mit her into eternal bliss. May her
souLrest in peace is the devout wish
of a loving husband, relatives and ad
miring friends of Odell."
JACOB CONRAD
PASSES AWAY
From Saturday's Datlv.
Jacob Conrad, another old resident
of this vicinity, died at the St. Joseph
hospital in Omaha Monday night. Mr
Conrad had been sick only a short
time. He was taken to Omaha about
two weeks ago and it was a great
hock when the news reached his
neighbors of his death. It seemed as
though he would revive until a day or
two before his death, when he grew
steadily worse. The cause' was drop
sy. Mr. Conrad has lived in this part
of the county many years and is well
known to all ths old residents. Wre are
unable to furnish the obituary this
week. Nehawka News.

iting friends at Weeping Water this
week and is a guest at the home of
her cousin, Clarence Pool.
THE EAGLES AND ELKS WILL
PROBABLY PLAY BALL
From Saturday's Dally.
One of the sporting events for the
season that has been suggested and
that should be a real live proposition
is that of a base ball . game between
the members of the Elks lodge and
those of the Eagles, which would
prove an attraction that would draw a
large crowd to witness the efforts of
the rival teams in their struggle for
supremacy on the diamond. There is
plenty of good material in each of
these two large lodges that certainly
could shine on the diamond, and the"
only requirement that should be
placed is that the players have not en
gaged in the national sport in the last
ten years. It has been suggested that
one of the live wires who belongs to
both orders be selected as umpire, that
he may be sure of a swift and certain
death no matter which way he de
cides. The project of the game
tween these two orders should
boosted by the fans of the city.

be THE HIGH SCHOOL
CONCERT A GRAND
AFFAIR AND SUCCESS
From Saturday's F.alir.
The high school auditorium was
filled to its limit last right with a
most appreciative audience to listen
to the entertainment by Mr. Jess Fair
and Miss Bertha Nathan of Lincoln,
who appeared in concert and reading
under the auspices of the high school
glee club.
Mr. Fair has achieved marked suc
cess in the musical field which he has
chosen. He possesses a powerful
baritone voice of unusual quality and
resonance. His pleanng personality
affords his a stage presence which
wins his hearers and his facial ex
pression, combined with an
almost
faultless diction, permits of a splen
did interpretation and appreciation of
every number. Genial and generous
with his audience, Mr. Fair certainly
carries a charm in his appearance and
execution. The selections rendered in
German and Italian were given with
perfect east. Beside. his excellent
work as a soloi?t, Mr. Fair plays well
and accompanies with ease and grace.
' Miss Nathan excells as a reader.
Her charming manner contributes
much to the effectiveness cf her work
and the culture of training was evi
dent in every selection which fch? ren
dered. The accompanists for the occasion
were Mrs. George II. Falter, Miss Es-
telle Baird and Miss Agnes Knofiicelw

Two piano numbers, a duet by

of the program.
Miss Knoflicek very kij'dly respond
ed to a request and closed the evening
with a violin solo which again won
favor for this talented lady whose
ability is so marked.
The attendance was most gratfying
to the glee club and their leader, Mrs.
Mac Morgan, as it was one cf
largest ever assembled in the audi
torium. The funds above expenses
will be used for the purchase of mu

RECORD AUTOMOBILE RUN
FROM LOS ANGELES TO FRISCO
Without doubt the most marvelous
road record in motor car history was
made a few days ago between Los
Angeles and San Francisco, a distance
of 457 miles over desert and mountain
country. The distance was covered by
a Buick five passenger, six cylinder
car, model D 6 45, in the remarkable
time. of ten hours and forty-seven
minutes. This beats the previous rec
ord bv one hour and twenty-three min
utes.' The automobile which made this
wonderful record carried four passen
gers and the time was three hours less
than that made by passenger trains
which make the run.
