BARTKOLD IS HELD YESTERDAY First Methodist Church Crowded by Old Time Friend3 in Tribute to Memory of Deceased The First Methodist church where so often, the deceased had worship ed, was filled yesterday to its capac ity by the old friends and neighbors to pay their last tributes to the mem ory of Mrs. Harry S. Barthold. The death of this estimable lady had brought to the community a deep sense or loss that was renectea in the large number present at the church and in the beautiful floral tributes that were banked around the casket during the service. Rev. Frank Emory Pfoutz, pastor of the church, paid a touching tribute to the long and faithful Christian life of Mrs. Barthold, her active work in the church and her care and love for those of her family circle- and her friends in the city where a great Iart of her lifetime had been spent. During the service a quartet com posed of Mrs. E. II. Wescott, Mrs. R. B. Hayes, L. O. Minor and Jesse Perry ?ang two selections, I m coming Home" and "Somewhere the Sun is Shining," while Mrs. Wescott gave in her usual artistic manner the beautiful solo number, "The City Four Square." At the conclusion of the services it the church the body was tenderly borne to Oak Hill cemetery, where It was laid to the last long rest in the midst of the many friends who had gone on before her to the land of everlasting day. Miss Keturah Temple Hatcher was born at Thurman, Iowa, January 6, 1S60. When she was 13 years old, her mother died, but some time later her father married her aunt, and as nearly a mother's care as one can arive, the stepmother gave her. On May 27, 1SS0, Miss Hatcher va3 united in marriage to Harry S. Barthold, in this city, and here they have since lived. Mr. and Mrs. Bar thold are well known. Their lives have been built into the fabric of tljis ommunity, . and the part they have put in has helped to make Platts mouth a better place. Three children came to bless the icme' that Mr. and Mrs. Barthold es tablished, Ralph, who lives here in our city; Mrs. Alta Halter, of Lin- oln, and Mrs. Murl Wheeler, of this community. There are also two grand children, Reginald and Gerald Halter. Besides the husband, who has shar ed a companionship of nearly 45 years, and the family of children and grandchildren, Mrs. Barthold is sur vived by four sisters, Mrs. C. B. Tisher, Council Bluffs, Iowa; Mrs. Henry Shaw, of Tabor, Iowa; Mrs. Emery Harmer, Alliance, Nebraska, ind Mrs. Charles Johnson, of Long- mont, Colorado. Mrs. Barthold's father was a vet eran of the Civil war. She enlisted in the White Ribbon brigade that brot temperance to our country and was one of its most faithful workers. She was also a member of the Methodist church of this city, uniting with it under the pastorate of Rev. W. B. Alexander, in the year 188 4. Much could be written about her un tiring efforts as a Methodist. Her guiding light was the love to serve. Perhaps more homes in this city have had ministrations from her hands than from those of any other woman. ! She was ever thoughtful of the little things that help so much in -making life worth while. She helped the needy, she brought little folks to the Sunday school, she raised fund3 when funds were hard to secure, she often went to the services when she should have remained at home taking care jf her own needs, her testimonies vere evidences of a victorious faith, ind her deeds the result of a reborn oul. The tower that now points to ward the everlasting firmaments of Heaven, and lifts its lighted cross, the emblem of hope and peace, was ler dream. Together with Mr. Wind- nam as a committee, funds were se cured that placed the tower on the local church, as a memorial to her untiring desires. The bell whose tolling reminded us of the going of one of our loved ones, was according to her own testimony often a remind er of the hour of prayer, the privi lege of God's children. She worked in the Aid society, attended church and Sunday school, even planned to be in her place on the day of her departure, but weather conditions prevented. If the Master of Men could be heard today, I think he would be saying the same words he used in giving expression to- his feelings in regard to another woman who did so much for Him and His work while He was here on earth, "She hath done what she could." rr T Ik $ 4- l $7.00 fAPrl 8 Tub- I I b I.

COMMISSION its own employes and the number of them is property which would be de stroyed if the commission under this guise attempts to interfere in the management of the road. The railroad attorneys insist that if the commission has power to or der another man than :s necessary at one station it can do so at all, and that the result would be to force an extravagant operation of the road, and this ought not to lie in the mouth of a commission composed of men without any comparable experi ence with that of the railroad exo tives.
