Sergeant Ernest L. Trumble, of Co.
C, 126 Machine Gun Battalion, sta
tioned at Camp Cody, was united in
marriage to Miss L. Marie Quinn. one
of the-charming and accomplished
young ladies of Palmyra, Nebraska.
The wedding was a very quiet one
owing to the fact that the groom is
on active duty with his company, and
attended by only the members of the
family of the minister and Corporal
Warren L. Trumble, brother of the
groom and Roy A. VIckers, both Cass
county boys in service with Co. C.
The marriage lines were read by
Rev. McClure, pastor of the Christian
church at Deming, and who for a
number of years was pastor of one
of the leading churches at Lincoln,
Nebraska, where he was a close
friend of the contracting parties.
The ceremony was the first service
to be held in the handsome new-
church building, just erected by the
members of the Christian faith at
Deming, and was a fitting induction
of the house of worship. The scene
was most impressive as these two
estimable young people stood before
the altar plighting their vows that
were to Join them for life's happi
ness. The bride was very charming
ly gowned in a traveling costume of
dark blue silk while the groom was
attired in the service uniform of the
army in which he is serving.
The wedding will come as a sur
prise to the many friends of these
popular young" people in Cass and
Otoe counties, and all will join in
wishing them many years in which
to enjoy the happiness and joy they
both so well merit. The bride has
been reared to womanhood near Pal
myra, and is one loved and respected
by all who have the pleasure of
knowing her. The groom is a son
of Mr. and Mrs. Charles S. Trumble.
of Eagle, and is a young man who
has spent his lifetime in Cass county,
where his friends are legion. At the
call of the President in 1017. Mr.
Trumble volunteered his services for
the cause of world democracy and
enlisted in the machine gun company
of the 6th Nebraska infantry, and
with this organization departed for
Camp Cody, where he has since been
stationed and with his company be
came a part of the 126 Machine Gun
battalion.
Sergeant and Mrs. Trumble will
continue to make their home at Dem
ing for the present at least, and are

MEMORIAL
SERVICES ON
SUNDAY A. M
AT THE METHODIST CHURCH
WHERE A LARGE CROWD
WAS GATHERED TO
PAY TRIBUTE TO DEAD HERDS
Principal Address Delivered by Rev.
A. J. Hargett of the Chris
tian Church Here.
From Monday's Dally.
Yesterday morning a large and
patriotic crowd. of Plattsmouth peo
ple gathered at the Methodist church
to participate in the Memorial ser
vices which were held in honor of
the fast disappearing members of
the Grand Army of the Republic.
The musical portion of the service
was in the hands of the chorus of
the Methodist church, while Rev.,
Trustcott of that church acted as
Master of Ceremonies. Rev. H. G.
McCluskey, pastor of the First Pres
byterian church, offered the invoca
tion and implored divine power for
the' righting of the wrongs of the
world in a strain of fine language
and excellent ideas. Rev. Truscott
read the lesson of the morning, and
made announcements, among which
was the adding of two stars to the
service flag of the church for Frank
Ha reus and Leslie Dalton.
He then introduced Rev. A. J. Har
gett of the Christian church, who
delivered the address of the occa
sion. Beginning with the Feast of
Belshazzer, he read and interpret
ed the hand .writing on the wall,
"Mene Mene Tekel Upharsin," mean-
ng, "Thou hast been weighed in
the balance and found wanting."
The rights of the people had been
taken away from them in the times
when the Belshazzer feast was being
celebrated, therefore the kingdom
was taken from him and given to
another. The king was not equal to
the emergency and lost his throne.
Again, when the people of Greece
faced the emergency, they proved
equal to the test and established
the first democracy which the world
is fighting to preserve. Again, when
the Civil war was drawing to a
close, he reverted to the time when
a portion of the field of battle was
to be dedicated as a national ceme
tery, that Abraham Lincoln, the
champion of liberty, got the black
race freedom as well as the white.
and made that memorable address,
the famous Gettysburg speech.
Following this the speaker paid
special tribute to the old soldiers
who sat before him and whose ranks
were fast growing smaller, for the
portion which they had in the pre
servation of the country and liberty
to its citizens, f
Those of the Grand Army in at
tendance were Wm. McCauley, Thos.
Wiles, Justice Lillie, Thomas W.
Glenn, A. Jack. W. H. Freese, W. S.
Askwith, N. II. Isabel. Ezra Brown,
R. B. Windham and Wm. Gilmour.
Following this Rev. Hargett ad
dressed himself to the boys in khaki
who are going out now to fight for
the nation, and stated that when
they return they will come back the
cleanest set of young men that ever
left an army or went into one, and
after fighting hand and band with
citizens of other civilized nations
so effectively against a common en
emy they will demand a church here
in America, not many churches but
one church whose forces are in har
mony, united for the evangelization
of the world, and not a lot of dif
ferent churches that are fighting one
another. He particularly wished it
might not be "my church" or "our
church" but one united , body of
Christian people, bent on attaining a
common objective.
The services were closed by the
singing of a patriotic number, while
the congregation stood reverently as
the Grand Army and Relief Corps,
together with the boys of the pres
ent army passed out. after which the
congregation dispersed.

EXHIBITION DRILL LAST NIGHT.
From Wednesday's Dally:
Some hundred and twenty-five
soldiers from the camp north of the
city put on an exhibiMon drill last
evening, at the Red Sox ball park
which was witnessed by over three
thousand people, and the movements
of which was very pleasing to the
crowd assembled, who manifested
their appreciation by vigorous ap
plause, in the way of hand clappin
at some particular nice demonstra
tion of the well drilled men, and
judging from the continuous demon
stration of the pleasure of the peo
ple it is reasonable to judge the
movements were all climaxes.
