Mrs. Bainbridge W. Bates of Nehaw-
ka Answers Summons--Came
to Nebraska in 1868,
From Saturday's DalTy.
Eunice Amelia Bennet.was born in
Stockbritlge, Vermont, September 28,
1847, and passed away February 25,
1920, aged 72 years, 4 months and
28 days. Her childhood, days were
spent In Vermont in. the farm home
of her ' parents sturdy, thrifty peo
ple of Puritanic ideals.
The family of Bainbridge Walker
Bates lived near the Bennett home
and "ihe young couple were, friends
all through their, childhood days.
which friendship ripened into a love
that became jhe foundation of the
future home. On November 22, 1S64,
the two were united in marriage and
unto this union was born Frances
Amelia, their .only , daughter,
During the first three years of
their married life, Mr. and Mrs.
Bates liyed jn Vermont on a farm
near . their parents' home. In the
spring of -lS6S they came to Ne
braska where they lived for two
years on a farm which .is now the
present site of Avoca. While living
here they purchased the home place
southwest of Nehawka where they
resided for the next twenty-one
years. - -
In 1SS7 the wife of one of tlrbir
nearest neighbors , died, leaving a
tiny babe, one week old. Their paren
tal sympathy was arouned and the
babe was taken into their home,
tenderly, nourished and cared for
and grew into manhood as a member
of the family whom all knew as
Charles Bates.
The life of Mrs.. Bates" on the
farm was stamped with the trials
xnd vicissitudes of the early pioneer.
During the firDt two years ' in Ne
braska, her homo was in a log cabin.
The nearest market was twenty
miles away. Such circumstances
sailed forth all the young house
wife's thrift and industry. The way
farer was always welcome and with
i willing hand sLc ministered to his
needs.. Ungrudgingly, she gave of
her young strength to further the
Jevelopment of her home and com
munity. In 1869 a prairie fire threat
aned to destroy the home. With her
husband and neighbors the fought
iesperately, and her husband has al--ays
declared that this fight short
?ned her life fen years. Following
the marriage of their daughter, Mr.
and Mrs. Bates left the farm and
moved to Nehawka where they have
;ince resided.
In early, life, Mrs. Bates united
with the United Brethern church,
the church of her choice not being
near. She later joined the Baptist
church which was the church of her
preference. As an earnest devout
Christian, she has always been will
ing and jjlad to do whatever she
could to promote the work of the
church' of God. - f
Mr. and Mrs. Bates have enjoyed
an unusually long wedded life.' For
more than fifty-five years they have
worked together. Together they have
watched the development of eastern
Nebraska. Hand in hand, they have
worked together and always has the
wife been a true helpmate to her
husband. Her spirit of gervice made
her dear to the hearts of those
around her. ' She will be sadly miss
ed by a devoted husband, daughter
and son and their families, besides
other relatives and a host of friend3.

his home in Stromsburg, Nebraska,

and which has gone very serious with
the patient who js nearly seventy
years of" age. Dr. Sandin left Sat
urday in rc2ponco to a message and
is still at the bedside of his father.

case in this, city it seems that Mr.
Sandin is living alone and on Wed
nesday had arranged to have one of
his neighbors assist him in some
work and when the man arrived at
the Sandin home he. failed to receive
any response to Ms knocking on the
door and realizing that the aged man
must be sick or unable to answer the
summons he forced the door open to
find Mr. Sandin lying on the floor
and helpless, "as 'the result of the
stroke. He was at once given med
ical aid and cared for while a mes
sage was dispatched for the son in
this city.

FILING FOP, PARTY
OFFIOESECESSARY
Cliairmnn I. P. Falter of Democratic
Committee Receives Advice on
Matter From State Chairman
Chairman J. P. Falter of the demo
cratic county central committee has
received a communication from Sta'e
Chairman A. P. Sprague in regard lo
the, placing of the names of dele
gates to state conventions and p.rty
committeemen on the primary ballot
this spring. The letter from Mr
Sprague is as follows:
Dear Mr. CBairman and Stcrei::ry:
Doubtless, you are aware that the
last Legislature made amendments in
our primary law in what is known as
the "Reynolds Bill", Chapter :)0. Ses
sion Laws 1919. Briefly, the amend
ments are: First, one section pro
vides for the nomination of the
State officers below the Governor by
a. State Convention instead of in i.ic
primary. This section has been sus
pended by reason ,of the filing of a
referendum petition with tile Secre
tary of State. Sa that all of the
State officials this year will be noni
inated the same as they have hereto
fore; that is. in the primary. The
second change is that the delegates
to the County Convention are fleet
ed at the primary election. Thki
means that the delegates must ii!o
their application with the County
Clerk, the same as other candidates
We take it for granted that if they
do not file and their name is written
in and a mark made after it, that
ballot will be counted 'and the dele
gates made up from the list so writ
ten in. It is of the utmost import
ance that delegates be elected at the
primary. If this is not done, there is
no legal way to hold a Convention
If the delegates are written in for
part of the precincts, then, under the
law. they have the right to fill the
vacancy in the other precinefs.
i ne law provides that the appor
tionment of delegates from the var
ious voting precincts be made on the
vote cast for Governor at the last
preceding election. This must be
done by the County Central Commit
tee. As the time is short, the under
signed recommend that there be one
delegate elected from each voting
precinct for each T.0 votes or major
fraction thereof east for Governor
Neville at the last election and that
the Chairman and Secretary of your
County should convene the County
Central Committee and make the ap
portionment, or, make the apportion
ment without the meeting, so that it
will be made prior to March 20th.
Another change is a provision for
the election of one man and one wo
man as members of the County Cen
tral Committee from each voting pre
cinct. These are to be placed on the
ballot and voted for on primary elec
tion day. It is important that peo
ple file their application with the
county clerk or that the names be
written. In by the voters at the elec
tion. This in the only way you can
get a legal County Central Commit
tee. So, see to it that those who
desire to file do ho.
- The Attorney General has held that
no filing fee is ' necessary, either for
delegates of commit I cemen, but they
make a written filing, the same as
any other candidate for office, with
the County Clerk. We urge that you
give this matter sufficient publicity
s-o that the democrats In your county
win understand what the conditions
are and will take whatever steps ar
necessary to hold a County Conven
tion and select members of the Coun
ty Central Committee.
We are sending'a copy of this let
ter to the Chairman and Secretary of
each County Central Committee in
the State.
Respectfully yours,
A. P. Sprague, v
CHAIRMAN..
Clinton J. Campbell, y
SECRETARY.
