CHARLES MAJORS,
Weeping Water Neb.
On Saturday evening about nine
o'clock lightning gave a number of
our residents a little scare and also
did some damage to glass windows.
Fred Fleischman can possibly tell you
more about this than anyone else.
He. had Just gotten home with hi.
car, having hastened home to keep
out of the rain and was just closing
the door to the building when the
trash came. He was rendered par
tially unconscious and staggered
round a little before he regained
himself. The bolt had struck a pole
short distance away. John Kunz
who lives across the road from the
Fleischman place said that they felt
the effects of the crash. Down town
the concussion was sufficient to break
window on the west end of the
p!mwood State Bank and also one
n the west end of the Lee Coon Gar
age. It is hard to tell ;just why these
glasses were broken " unless they fit
very tightly in the frame. At the
Wilson Oil & Gas Co. station Mr.
Wilson and Oscar Turner were lin-
ng up the day's business and they
ell of the crash as being terrific
j the building seemed to sbaxe, tbe-air
I was tilled with the electric flash and
i particles of sand fell from the ceil
ing. Willard Clapp stated that the
crash seemed to be terrific at his
place. He. was reading by the light
of a reading lamp at the time. lie
said that this light was put out and
he sure thought for a minute that
some'thing real had happened. No
other, electric bulbs were effected in
the house. Many other experiences
are told by others.
It started raining and hailing that
evening and kept it up for a short
time. The lightning crash is explain
ed by many in this way. The whole
atmosphere seemed to be electrified
and this was followed by a dull
whack presumably the report after
the lightning had slruch. It is the
opinion of some that lightning had
struck in several places in town.
When it began to rain the town was
full of cars and all immediately start
ed for home and there was much pur
ring of motors mingled with the
noise of the storm. Elmwood Leader-Echo.
The passing of Mrs. Margaret Os
6enkop of Louisville has removed
from the life of the county one of
the oldest residents and one who was
universally loved and respected in
the, vicinity of Cedar Creek and Lou
isville where she has made her home
since 1858. when as a child she
came to Nebraska to make her home
and where she remained a faithful
wife, a loving mother and a devoted
friends, whose passing leave a place
hard to fill in the circles of her fam
ily and friends.
The funeral was held on Wednes
day at Louisville from the Methodist
church of which the deceased had
long been a member and was con
ducted by the Rev. David Simpson,
pastor of the church. There was a
very large attendance of the old
friends and neighbors to share with
the family the grief that death has
brought to their midst. The inter
ment was at the River View ceme
tery where sleeps the departed hus
band and one son.
Mrs. Ossenkop's maiden name was
Margaret Reichart. She was the
(laughter of the late George Reich
art. She was born in Ohio, Decern
her 11, 1850, and came to Nebraska
in the year 1S58, with her parents.
at the age of 8. They resided on a
farm at Cullom, later moving to this
vicinity.
She was married May 14, 186S, to
William Ossenkop. To this union
eight children were born, the first
child, a daughter, Katherine, passing
away in their early married life, and
the son. William, in 1910. Her hus
band departed this life in the year
IS 95. Six children are left to mourn
the passing of a faithful and devoted
mother whose greatest joy and hap-
pinoss was found with her children
and their families. Mrs. Ossenkop

ins: Dr. Martin Reichart, of Louis
ville, and Godfrey Reichart, of Ulys
ses, as well as a number of other rel
